Variable Valve Timings: Memoirs of a car tragic
‘What defines the car-saddo condition is not being able to recall a time when the toy-car-era of your life actually ended. Because for us sufferers, it never does.’
Nobody knows cars like Chris Harris does. He calls it ‘unhinged geekery’, but the rest of the world call it infectious enthusiasm, adrenalin fuelled escapism and rigorous journalistic integrity.
And then there are his famous skills at the wheel, from city cars to rally cars, not forgetting the Guinness World Record 3.4km sideways in an electric car.
And now for the first time, Harris takes us down the road of his life-long obssession with the automobile – along surprising diversions, around hazards and obstructions, down the fast lane collecting Gs and back to the lock-up to prep the stock.
From the six-year-old who could recite the stats from What Car? magazine to the YouTube car guru whose honest reviews got him banned by Ferrari. From the Scalextric track of his childhood, to podiums as a racing driver out in the world. From behind his garage doors to the floodlit Top Gear studio.
Variable Valve Timings brings you an incredibly engaging story of adventure and petrolhead joy, told with wit, warmth and disarming honesty. This book is a true one-off, just like Chris.

Bosnian War: A History from Beginning to End
Discover the tragic history of the Bosnian War…
Free BONUS Inside!In the annals of modern history, few episodes cast a darker shadow than the Bosnian War. It was during this war that the world became acquainted with the chilling term “ethnic cleansing,” a phrase that encapsulates the unspeakable acts of mass deportation, imprisonment, rape, and murder perpetrated against civilians based on their religious and ethnic identities. During the Bosnian War, the media bombarded the global audience with nightmarish images of brutal massacres, mass graves, and undeniable evidence of heinous crimes against humanity. Yet, for many observers, the roots and reasons behind this war remain enigmatic and elusive.
Yugoslavia was a nation deeply fractured by ethnic and religious divisions. The iron grip of Josip Broz Tito’s communist dictatorship, established after World War II, momentarily silenced these tensions, but upon Tito’s death and the subsequent disintegration of the communist regime in Yugoslavia, these dormant fissures erupted once more, giving rise to a period of anarchy, violence, and conflict known as the Yugoslav Wars. The Bosnian War was not a single, isolated conflict but rather formed part of this wider series of wars. To unravel the complexities of the Bosnian War, one must delve into the intricate web of connections with these other conflicts and the fragmentation of Yugoslavia itself. Even then, it is essential to recognize that the root causes of this war still linger.
This is the story of the complex, horrifying, and brutal human tragedy that became known as the Bosnian War.
Discover a plethora of topics such as
- World War II: The Creation of Socialist Yugoslavia
- Rise of Nationalism in Yugoslavia
- Violence Begins
- Bosnian Genocide: Ethnic Cleansing
- Srebrenica Massacre
- International Intervention
- And much more!

Boxer Codex (Academica Filipina+)
In 1947, colonial Iberian maritime scholar Professor Charles R. Boxer acquired a late sixteenth-century manuscript written by an anonymous scribe who had compiled several eyewitness accounts of both Spanish and Portuguese expeditions to Asia and the Pacific. Through detailed descriptions and lavish illustrations, this manuscript depicted the customs, costumes, and ways of life of the various peoples of East and Southeast Asia, particularly the Philippine Islands. In the decades since the book came to light, an international constellation of scholars the world over has expanded our understanding of this valuable document and given us the clearest depiction of the lives of newly colonized Filipinos and the politics of early modern Asia. As such, the Boxer Codex is indispensable in understanding both Iberian and Asian encounters at a pivotal time in world history.
Now this invaluable work is made accessible to a new generation of Filipinos and scholars with this bilingual edition, written in modern Spanish and English. It also marks the beginning of the commemoration of 500 years of Philippine-Spanish encounters from 1521 to 2021. An extensive introduction situates this work in a global context and presents the intertwined histories of academician Charles Boxer and Philippine National Artist Carlos Quirino, whose friendship ignited global interest and passionate study of the codex.

Brand Flip, The: Why customers now run companies and how to profit from it (Voices That Matter)
Best-selling brand expert Marty Neumeier shows you how to make the leap from a company-driven past to the consumer-driven future. You’ll learn how to flip your brand from offering products to offering meaning, from value protection to value creation, from cost-based pricing to relationship pricing, from market segments to brand tribes, and from customer satisfaction to customer empowerment.
In the 13 years since Neumeier wrote The Brand Gap, the influence of social media has proven his core theory: “A brand isn’t what you say it is – it’s what they say it is.” People are no longer consumers or market segments or tiny blips in big data. They don’t buy brands. They join brands. They want a vote in what gets produced and how it gets delivered. They’re willing to roll up their sleeves and help out – not only by promoting the brand to their friends, but by contributing content, volunteering ideas, and even selling products or services.
At the center of the book is the Brand Commitment Matrix, a simple tool for organizing the six primary components of a brand. Your brand community is your tribe. How will you lead it?

Rory Sutherland, Vice Chairman at Ogilvy, said the following about ‘Brands, Bandwagons & Bullshit’: –
“I noticed that this book ingeniously starts with a glossary – which was recommendation enough. But it gets even better from there on. I’m really enjoying it”.
In marketing, it’s easy to get caught up in the hype – the latest channel, brand, agency or media outlet. Cutting the useful from the useless is a constant battle.
Marketing, Advertising, PR and Media are all designed to sound awesome, but how can you possibly know which path is right for you without getting stuck in? You won’t know the facts until it’s too late – so the best thing to do is research what’s out there and make the most informed choices possible.
‘Brands, Bandwagons & Bullshit’ was written for two main audiences:- First, Students, Graduates and young marketing professionals looking to find their first job in marketing, advertising, media or PR . Second, it’s useful for an older demographic of those people who use marketing within their businesses but have no idea how it works (and are, by now, too afraid to ask).
Marketing is never perfect. How could it be? Every second of every day, everything that helps inform your decisions changes. Trends disperse, media pivots, demographics shift, geographies imbalance, economies peak and trough, products fail, creative is subjective, Pandemics arrive and strategy’s a Rubik’s Cube of a conundrum.
‘Brands, Bandwagons & Bullshit’ was written using notes, hints and tips I’ve found valuable myself and it also contains snippets from several articles I’ve written for Marketing Week, Campaign and other magazines. The topics are wide ranging, broaching marketing strategy, brand strategy, campaign tactics and some of the pitfalls you may/ will encounter on your own journey.
Part 1: Getting Started’ covers the things you might want to consider before you get your first job whilst ‘Part 2 – The Marketing Bit’ branches out into the strategy, tactics and campaigns that brands employ to give them an edge (or sometimes get it very, very wrong).
This isn’t a ‘self-help’ book, nor does it profess to hold all the answers. Think of it less as a Sat Nav directing you to your ideal marketing career or a bible for perfect marketing and more like a shopping list to browse, extracting useful snippets at will.
The baking of the cake is totally up to you, but hopefully you’ll pick up some useful directions and suggested ingredients over the coming pages to help you steer between the bullshit and the bandwagons.

Break the Cycle: A Guide to Healing Intergenerational Trauma
How to pass on strength not pain to those you love.
When a physical wound is left unhealed, it continues to cause pain and can infect the whole body. When emotions are left unhealed, they similarly cause harm that spreads to other parts of our lives, hurting our family, friends and colleagues. Eventually, this hurt spreads further, affecting entire communities and families across generations.
This is intergenerational trauma. It can lead us to become people-pleasers, co-dependent in relationships and even estranged from our families. The wounds are complex and continue to invade our minds, bodies and spirits long after.
In Break the Cycle, Dr Mariel Buqué delivers the ground-breaking guide to healing inherited trauma. Weaving scientific research with practical exercises and stories from her therapy room, Dr Buqué will help you understand how trauma is inherited from one generation to the next, break the cycle and disrupt the flow of intergenerational trauma with therapeutic exercises, and encourage you to pass on strength – not pain – to future generations.
With a holistic approach to healing that has been absent from the field of psychology for too long, Break the Cycle will help you shift intergenerational trauma to intergenerational abundance.

Breuer
In 1956, TIME magazine called him one of the defining “form-givers of the 20th century.” Today, Marcel Breuer (1902–1981) remains a locus classicus of modernism for architects and designers alike. As a Bauhaus pioneer, even his earliest work was marked by a material restraint; the balance of texture, color, and shape; and a symbiosis of local and global, big and small, rough and smooth.
In this essential introductory monograph, we survey Breuer’s complete career through some of his most influential projects and ideas, from his landmark tubular furniture to the MoMA Research House to his innovation of “binuclear” housing, splitting living and sleeping areas into separate wings. Along the way, we follow Hungarian-born Breuer’s journey to international acclaim, with featured projects from Germany, France, England, Switzerland, and across the United States contributing to his global status as a modernist maestro.
About the series
Born back in 1985, the Basic Art Series has evolved into the best-selling art book collection ever published. Each book in TASCHEN’s Basic Architecture series features:
an introduction to the life and work of the architect
the major works in chronological order
information about the clients, architectural preconditions as well as construction problems and resolutions
a list of all the selected works and a map indicating the locations of the best and most famous buildings

Brexitland: Identity, Diversity and the Reshaping of British Politics
Long-term social and demographic changes – and the conflicts they create – continue to transform British politics. In this accessible and authoritative book Sobolewska and Ford show how deep the roots of this polarisation and volatility run, drawing out decades of educational expansion and rising ethnic diversity as key drivers in the emergence of new divides within the British electorate over immigration, identity and diversity. They argue that choices made by political parties from the New Labour era onwards have mobilised these divisions into politics, first through conflicts over immigration, then through conflicts over the European Union, culminating in the 2016 EU referendum. Providing a comprehensive and far-reaching view of a country in turmoil, Brexitland explains how and why this happened, for students, researchers, and anyone who wants to better understand the remarkable political times in which we live.Read more
