Formula 1 Books

This book combines the BASICS of EVERYTHING involved in physics.
If you want to learn physics in a very simplistic easy to read fashion, this is the book for you. It combines a wealth of information in addition to picture diagrams that makes physics fun to learn into less than one hundred pages. This book includes all of the major formulas involved with physics and combines them into a chart called the Physics Alphabet. This book's design will help you to master each section with ease and you'll feel like a genius once you've mastered the sections. I can almost guarantee that you will NOT be disappointed. Section One covers Electricity and Magnetism including Current, Voltage, Resistance, Test Circuits, Circuit Symbols, Series/Parallel Circuits, Static Electricity, Magnetic Fields, Motors, Transformers, Induction and much more. Section Two Forces and the Laws of Motion including Gravity, Force, Friction, Speed, Velocity, and Acceleration, Distance-Time-Velocity Graphs, Hooke's Law and Boyle's Law. Waves: Soundwaves, Microwaves, Seismic Waves, Reflection, Refraction, Ultrasound, Internal Reflection, Diffraction, Electromagnetic Spectrum, Infrared, Visible and UV Light, X-Rays and Y-Rays, Earth's Structure, Plate Tectonics and Boundaries. Section Four covers outer space: The planets, moons, meteorites, asteroids and comets, satellites, The Universe, The Life Cycle of Stars, The Origin and Future of the Universe. Section Five covers Energy: Energy Transfer, Conservation of Energy, Machine Efficiency, Work, Energy, and Power, Kinetic and Potential Energy, Heat Transfer, Conduction and Convection, Heat Radiation, Energy Resources, Power Stations, Wind Power and Hydroelectric Power, Wave and Tidal Power, Geothermal, Wood Burning, and Solar Energy. The last Section, Section Six covers Radioactivity: Atomic Structure and Isotopes, The Three Types of Radiation, Radioactive Materials, Detection of Radiation, Radiation Hazards and Safety, Nuclear Equations, and Half Life. At the end of each section is a revision summary with questions that help test your mastery of the section. When it comes to learning GCSE books may be the STANDARD.

This extremely large, heavy, full-color volume depicts an era (mid sixties to early nineties) which will bring back memories of a time when Formula One was more then just a Ferrari parade. The photography is fantastic, organized by cars (year by year), drivers, technical, sponsors and even fans.
Despite not being tremendously informative (which is not the objective of the book), the photography brings the subject to life better than any other Formula One photo book I have seen (and I've seen quite a few!). Long overdue for an update and reprint.

If you buy just one book on Jim Clark, let it be this one, a pictorial of Jim's life at Team Lotus from beginning to tragic premature end at that fateful Hockenheim F2 race, when racefans (including me) expected him to drive at Brands Hatch. As a constant spectator at Brands, I witnessed most, if not all of Jim's exploits at the circuit, and official team photographer Peter Darley captures the spirit of the times superbly, you can almost hear the fab four singing "Help!" as you flick through the pages. The book covers Jim's races at the british tracks used in the period of Crystal Palace, Brands Hatch, Goodwood, Silverstone and Oulton Park, a feast for the eyes for all motor racing fans!

This is a great informative book. It is thick and heavy but that is because it is packed with so much information. The book is clearly written with technical info that is easy to understand even if you are not a "gear head". The book is composed according to where cars were during certain years. The first chapter starts with the birth of an industry which talks of mass production and the impact on the American public. Then each decade is explored with the new features of each auto during the related years therein. Social changes are also included so you aren't just reading about cars in a vacuum. This is a great reference book for any auto enthusiast

I originally bought this book back in '94 after reading a review in Smart Money Magazine. It literally took me out of investing in mutual funds and working a dead in job into a six figure yearly income within a few months of practice. Some of his methods are a little outdated because it was written in '94. With the advances that have taken place with the internet it is so much easier to implement his strategy. It is also much cheaper since back then I used to pay through the nose for news feeds and comissions. The book is very easy to read and understand and is very motivational. I still read it every now and then just as to get a little "pump me up" before I start a trading week. I'm surprised that it is no longer available or there hasn't been an updated edition. I read quite a few books on trading and still have yet to read one that has such a simple strategy that actually works better than anything else I have seen. If you can find a copy of this book get it! It will definitely change the way you think about the stock market. Wherever you are Gerald I owe you one.

A must for all settlement personnel, FI traders, risk, deal structurers. Jan Mayle has laid out all the formulas in black and white.. one can use it for figuring out the correctness, reusing it for deal structure, a must for all Fixed income, bonds, mortgage bonds, etc.. a must for evey FI institute..

Excellent, very useful mathematical boo

This is by far one of the best compendiums I have ever seen with regards to this sport. Everything is covered here, from race results to Driver's records. It's all here, and it's wonderful to read. Not only can you find out who won a Grand Prix, but you can also find out who finished second, and who retired because of engine failure, or some other malady. This is THE book for the Grand Prix junkie...I can't recommend it enough

This book contains formulas for the treatment of ailments. A previous knowledge of medicine is helpful, but not really needed. Most ingredients are obtainable from local chinatown herb and tea shops. However, I reccomend that you not try to create some of the treatments unless you have experience and knowledge in medicine.

I'm off to see the Wizard. The Wizard of Ads that is...

Even though my business is primarily internet based there are tried and true advertising methods that span the mediums. One of my all time favorite reads is no exception.

Roy Williams aka The Wizard of Ads is an absolute marketing genius in my book.

The Secret Formulas of the Wizard of Ads is not a new release but the contents are timeless.

I love the wacky approaches Williams uses in his own marketing strategies. In chapter 29 "Sing a Little Song, Dance a Little Dance" he shares the story of his not so conventional appearance at an American Marketing Association meeting held at a country club. He rolls in wearing jeans and turtle neck. Realizes he's clearly underdressed for this crowd and doesn't bat an eye. During his speech, he pitches his book. He tells the crowd it's different than any book they've ever read. Goes on to say, "It's hilariously funny in some parts and heartbreakingly sad in other parts, and it's for sale in the back of the room."

Williams is right on target. What he says is true and he doesn't leave it at that. He raises the book above his head, leans into the microphone and whispers, (you know how a whisper gets attention, right?), he whispers "You'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll kiss seventeen bucks goodbye!"

He then gets all James Brown on everyone, starts clapping and chanting "I'll laugh! I'll cry!, I'll kiss seventeen bucks goodbye!" Almost the entire room of stuffy suits follows his lead...

He sells out. Not a single copy is left in the back of the room when he is done.

I share this excerpt because Williams connects with his core audience. He does it in ways that get results and are unexpected. He knows exactly what he is doing.

Williams is aware that:

1) Surprise causes delight and begins to persuade
2) Follow through occurs when people hear themselves say they are going to do something
3) Speaking to needs sells especially when your audience can envision the end result (in this case, kissing seventeen bucks goodbye)

Williams shares golden nuggets throughout the book. Things really get rolling beginning with chapter 36 when he highlights the Six Tugs-of-War relating to advertising.

1) Intellect vs. Emotion
2) Time vs. Money
3) Opportunity vs. Security
4) Style vs. Substance
5) Pain vs. Gain
6) Sight vs. Sound

I'm not going to spoil the suspense by telling you what he has to say. I'll simply recommend that you grab a copy today and set aside some time to read it.

Secret Formulas of the Wizard of Ads is a must have for any marketer. Williams discusses a myriad of topics to be considered when implementing your advertising and marketing efforts. His advice is solid and experience based. You won't be disappointed.

You can tell that Roy Williams has served time in the real life trenches of the ad game. There are nuggets of gold nestled within the stories he shares in this book.

This is not a "step by step" color by numbers kind of book. It's one that shares the lessons learned by the telling of parables. If you have a solid background in marketing and advertising, then this is great read. If you're looking for a marketing primer, then this is not the book for you.

Hey Roy Williams, where are the "Secret Formulas" to the Wizard of Ads? After reading the first book by Roy H. Williams (The Wizard of Ads) I needed to know more and my mind was asking more questions than ever.

Take me in depth Roy. Show me the behind the scenes things and reveal to me "how Broca works", show me how to "See my customer Real" and help me to explore how "Second-Hand Knowledge" works.

If you're into Sales, Marketing, Advertising or Business you want to know more than the details of how to run a business but more importantly you need to know how to inspire a customer to stay with you. As one great thinker said the only reason why we are in business is to keep or maintain a customer.

So do words have energy? And if they do how do I use them in an ethical way that helps my customers appreciate my sincere disire to take good care of them? Roy H. Williams shows us how to do this through 100 new stories that show you more in-depth SECRETS. The real Formulas for how things work psychologically, physiologically, emotionalogically and spiritualogically. The last two words I created after much meditation on Roys overall methodology.

The Secret Path to miraculous Ads is included in this follow-up where Roy reveals the styles of writing that limit reaching the emotional state of the customer. He breaks it down into three writing styles...Journalism, Creative Writing, and Poetry/lyricism. The last having the most powerful effect by far on your customers most unique way to receive new information.

Whatever you're looking to gain from a benefical stand point is here. This book is a great follow-up book to The Wizard of Ads. I'm still using Secret Formulas...re-reading it and practicing the Secret Formulas.

Is there anything else I can do for you?

Your Servant,

A very insightful book on advertising. However, I am surprised that Mr. Williams bothered to put it in print since he apparently believes the only way to advertise is through broadcast or intrusive media (radio and television). Intrusive media is just that. That is why consumers often turn the station on their radio and televisions when the programming they are listening to or watching is interupted by advertising. Print advertising is non-intrusive and therefore looked upon by choice by the consumer. An effective advertising campaign can be accomplished by many different mediums and most often with a mix of more than one.

I have read many books relating to ads & advertising and found this one to contain no value, no guidance, no tips and NO SECRETS.
Many old tales and short quotes that offered no insight to modern day marketing and advertising.
There are many good books out there, unfortunately for me and my pocketbook this is not one of them.
