In the first-ever history book about BART, longtime agency spokesman Michael C. Healy gives an insider's account of the rapid transit system's inception, hard-won approval, construction, and operations, “warts and all.” Written with a master storyteller's homey wit and sharp attention to detail, Healy recreates the politically fraught venture to bring a new kind of public transit to the West Coast. What emerges is a sense of the individuals who made (and make) BART happen. From tales of staying up until 3:00 a.m. with Bill Stokes and Jack Everson to hear the election results for the rapid transit vote or weathering scandals, strikes, and growing pains, this look behind the scenes of an iconic, seemingly monolithic structure reveals people at their most human—and determined to change the status quo.

Brian Reed's account is widely acknowledged as the definitive work on the once mighty Crewe Works, with an emphasis on the pre-1947 period it also includes information on the post-nationalisation period. It provides a wealth of authoritative detail on the development of the works, including illuminating biographies of Crewe's major engineers, and is illustrated with historic photographs and line illustrations, including layout diagrams

A visual homage to Porsche’s golden eras — iconic cars, analog photography, and the timeless elegance of classic automotive design.

"The Stylish Life Porsche" is a high-end photo book dedicated to the enduring fascination of classic Porsche automobiles. Featuring a carefully curated selection of vintage imagery, the book celebrates the unmistakable design language, engineering excellence, and cultural impact that have defined Porsche for decades.

From early air-cooled legends to rare racing models and everyday road icons, the photographs capture Porsches in their natural habitats: winding mountain roads, racetracks, coastal highways, and urban backdrops. Film grain, faded colors, and period aesthetics evoke the atmosphere of the 1950s through the 1980s, when driving was tactile, mechanical, and deeply emotional.

More than a collection of beautiful cars, Porsche tells a visual story of freedom, speed, craftsmanship, and timeless style. It is a tribute to an era when performance met elegance—and a must-have coffee-table book for collectors, enthusiasts, and lovers of analog automotive culture.

Few vehicles have traveled as far in the cultural imagination as the Land Rover. Once a utilitarian workhorse, it has become a revered cultural object, a symbol continually repurposed, reinterpreted, and reimagined across generations and geographies.

"LAND" explores this evolution through a design-led lens, tracing how the Land Rover has become a creative platform for builders, designers, collectors, and adventurers alike. Featuring projects that span bespoke restorations and conceptual reworks, the book captures a global movement reshaping the legacy of one of the world's most iconic machines.

At its core, "LAND" is a study in how form follows function, how nostalgia drives innovation, and how design can turn a tool into an icon of creative intent.
