James May's Magnificent Machines

How men in sheds have changed our lives

By: James May,Phil Dolling

Our world has been transformed beyond recognition, particularly in the twentieth century, and so were our lives and our aspirations. Throughout James May's Magnificent Machines, our Top Gear guide explores the iconic themes of the past hundred years: flight, space travel, television, mechanised war, medicine, computers, electronic music, skyscrapers, electronic espionage and much more. But he also reveals the hidden story behind why some inventions like the Zeppelin, the hovercraft or the Theremin struggled to make their mark. He examines the tipping points - when technologies such as the car or the internet became unstoppable - and gets up close by looking at the nuts and bolts of remarkable inventions. Packed with surprising statistics and intriguing facts, this is the ideal book for anyone who wants to know how stuff works and why some stuff didn't make it.

The Honey Pit

Phil Jones' Story About a Wilderness Prison Without Bars

By: Phil Jones

To the crooks, the guys in the black hats, the baddies: Society is fed up with you. You are a menace to our safety and you are very expensive in terms of the social damage you inflict on us, not to mention the literal cost of keeping you locked up in warm prisons with three meals a day eaten off stainless trays. So we are going to send you to a prison camp in Canada's far north. We will never have to bother about you again. Or will we?
