The World Water Speed Record - The Fast and the Forgotten
The quest for the Water Speed Record is one of the most dangerous, least forgiving and most unheralded of endeavours. Defined by the fatal crash of Donald Campbell in 1967 on Lake Coniston, it lacks some of the glamour of the land speed record, yet hundreds have made attempts over the years - many with spectacular and sometimes tragic results.
The first official record of 74 mph was set in 1920 in a boat elegantly called Miss America. Fifty-eight years later, the Spirit of Australia skimmed across the surface at over 317 mph, a speed still unsurpassed. That small 243 mph increase in just under six decades pays little testament to the trials and tribulations endured by the likes of Campbell Snr and Jnr, Segrave, Don and Warby.
Whereas the land speed record has been beaten time and again by surprisingly large margins, the water version has been tougher and more pronounced, only being increased by percentages.
This book captures the burning desire and incredible single-mindedness that is needed to take on the elements and propel a craft across water faster than anyone before ... and for what glory?

Autoboote - Wie das Automobil zum Motorboot wurde 1865 - 1945
Zu Beginn des 20. Jahrhunderts erschloss die noch junge Automobilindustrie einen weiteren aufregenden Markt: die Fortbewegung auf dem Wasser. Autoboote hießen die mit Frontmotor ausgestatteten Gefährte, die ab 1900 durch spektakuläre Rennen auf der Seine und vor Monaco schnell populär wurden - um nach dem Zweiten Weltkrieg ebenso schnell wieder in Vergessenheit zu geraten.
Berühmte Hersteller waren für den Boom mitverantwortlich: in Deutschland etwa BMW, Daimler, DKW, Ford und Maybach. In Autobooten finden sich aber auch Motoren von Alfa Romeo, Austin, Chrysler, Duesenberg, Fiat, Hispano-Suiza, Isotta-Fraschini, Napier, Packard, Peugeot, Renault und vielen mehr.
Carsten Klink und Leif Rohwedder widmen dieses liebevoll gestaltete und mit ausschließlich zeitgenössischen und größtenteils unveröffentlichten Abbildungen illustrierte Buch der Entstehungs- und Blütezeit der Autoboote 1865 bis 1945.
