Fasten your seatbelts as Formula 1's favourite underdog, Guenther Steiner, takes you on a wild ride through his ten years at Team Haas. From the first seeds of his idea to establish a new F1 team to the challenges of funding and building that team from the ground up, Guenther shares the real story of the origins of Team Haas, immerses readers in the high and lows of its first decade on the grid, and opens up about his departure from the team at the end of 2023. As Guenther recalls his proudest achievements and the many, many disasters he has faced, he takes readers into the boardrooms, pit lanes and garages, and out on to the circuits of the world's greatest race tracks. We spend time with drivers, mechanics, executives, sponsors, commentators and fans, and take in many private moments too, all the while grappling with the big challenges and small details that keep the wheels of a Formula 1 team turning. Told in his inimitable style, packed with hugely entertaining stories, outspoken opinions and unvarnished truths, this is Guenther at his very best - insightful, opinionated and completely unfiltered.
This is the secret memoir of a submissive. A vivid, electric, stunning account of how one woman gets her kicks. It is all true.
The debut home improvement guide from the man (with a hammer) who took on Britain's biggest DIY project
Compared to Girl, Interrupted, this "remarkable" (New York Times) memoir and love story, one of the most notable literary debuts of 2023, tells of a young woman's harrowing coming-of-age amid glamour, excess, and neglect, and her journey, against the odds, to find herself.
Proceeds from the sale of Worlds Apart will be used to benefit various development projects at the Nii Sowa Din Memorial cluster of schools in Ashaley Botwe, Ghana. Worlds Apart follows Sarah Lutterodt from her sheltered post-war childhood on a farm in southern England, through her life-changing years teaching university in Ghana, to her immersion in the rough and tumble of the American business world. With her husband, a Ghanaian mathematician, she struggles to find a place for her biracial family in an America that isn't always welcoming. In retirement, Lutterodt lives between two worlds: a newly experienced Ghana and an America for whom Africa too often remains the 'dark continent.' "Worlds Apart, the story of a British woman who finds love in Ghana and goes on to create a successful business while raising a mixed-race family in America, is a compelling read. With moving insight, Lutterodt shares how boundaries can be broken, and life can be "win-win" both in the business world and in our human relationships."- Frank Sasinowski, M.S., M.P.H., J.D., recipient of 2021 Pontifical Hero Award for Inspiration. "Lutterodt's memoir weaves an exquisite tapestry of her life's odyssey, reminding us that the quest for identity transcends borders. As a fellow traveler of diverse identities, I felt a genuine connection to her story which she handles with love, grace, and wisdom."- Josephine Garmen, Executive Director, Healey International Relief Foundation "Worlds Apart is a lovely and inspiring book, full of courage and compassion, as the author moves from one world to another and another. Lutterodt's determination to defy the conventional mores about women's place in society will resonate with readers."- Joan Neal, Deputy Executive Director, NETWORK Lobby for Catholic Social Justice "This brilliant and insightful book explores the author's experience between worlds too often separated by a lack of cultural awareness." - Dr. Tom Eberle, former Director of the Living School, Center for Action and Contemplation
"In 1972, Elliot Mintz installed a red light in his bedroom in Laurel Canyon. When it started flashing, it meant that either John Lennon or Yoko Ono--or sometimes both--were calling him. Which they did almost every day for nearly ten years, engaging Mintz in hours-long late-night phone conversations that all but consumed him for the better part of a decade. In [this book] Mintz--a former radio and television host in Los Angeles--recounts the story of how their unlikely friendship began and where it led him over the years, revealing the ups and downs of a wild, touching, heartbreaking, and sometimes shocking relationship. Mintz takes readers inside John and Yoko's inner sanctums, ... ultimately becoming the Lennons' closest and most trusted confidant. Mintz was with John and Yoko through creative highs, relationship and private challenges, fascinating interactions with the other former Beatles, and the happiest moment of their lives together, the birth of their son Sean. He was also by Yoko's side during the aftermath of John's assassination on the doorstep of the Dakota--not merely a witness to it all, but a key figure in the drama of John and Yoko's extraordinary lives"--
