Richard Williams Reihenfolge der Bücher

Ayrton Senna ještě neuměl pořádně chodit a už projížděl první zatáčky okolo domu na motokáře poháněné motorem ze sekačky. "Je to budoucí mistr světa," říkal o něm později Emerson Fittipaldi, když dvaadvacetiletého kluka představoval nejvýznamnějším osobnostem ve Formuli 1. Světovým šampiónem se stal třikrát. Mnozí ho dodnes považují za nejlepšího jezdce, který kdy seděl za volantem monopostu F1. Jeho tragická smrt na okruhu v Imole v roce 1994 šokovala celý svět a vybudovala kult velikána Ayrtona Senny. Kniha Richarda Williamse je stejná jako Brazilcův život - poutavá, rozmanitá a plná kontrastů. Ayrtona Sennu obdivovali přátelé i soupeři, získal si sympatie miliónu fanoušků po celém světě, ale nejednou neváhal vytlačit své soupeře z trati nebo se postavit autoritám v motorsportu i politice. Jezdil tak, jak žil - vždy na plný plyn. "Nenarodil se, aby skončil druhý! Ayrton Senna da Silva. Ohromující charizma, nezlomná bojovnost a talent od formulového boha. Milovaný, ale místy až přehnaně glorifikovaný. Jedním slovem: nezapomenutelný." Števo Eisele, komentátor F1

Ayrton Senna ešte nevedel poriadne chodiť a už zdolával prvé zákruty okolo domu na motokáre poháňanej motorom z kosačky. „Je to budúci majster sveta,“ povedal o ňom neskôr Emerson Fittipaldi, keď dvadsaťdvaročného chlapca predstavoval najdôležitejším ľuďom vo Formule 1. Majstrom sveta sastal trikrát. Mnohí ho dodnes považujú za najlepšieho jazdca, aký kedy sedel za volantom monopostu F1. Jeho tragická smrť na okruhu v Imole v roku 1994 šokovala celý svet a vybudovala kult velikána Ayrtona Sennu. Kniha Richarda Williamsa je rovnaká ako život Brazílčana – pútavá, rozmanitá a plná kontrastov. Ayrtona Sennu obdivovali priatelia aj súperi, naklonil si milióny fanúšikov po celom svete, no svojich oponentov neváhal neraz vytlačiť z trate alebo sa postaviť autoritám v motošporte aj v politike. Jazdil tak, ako žil – vždy na plný plyn.

Back in the early 1980s, young freelance press photographer Richard Williams began documenting the decline of the south Wales coal industry. He was there with his cameras as the coal workers walked out in opposition to Margaret Thatcher's government's program of pit closures, and followed the 1984-85 Miners' Strike - a key moment in UK history - to its end and beyond, seeing miners march back to work after their year-long struggle. From a coalmining family south Wales herself, Amanda Powell was starting her career as a junior reporter on a local newspaper during the same period, and the two worked together on some of the events unfolding. They went on to marry. Williams and Powell have come together to co-author this book, each drawing on their work and experiences from this fraught period, and speaking again to contacts made at the time. The result is a book giving a unique perspective on the Miners' Strike, taking an in-depth 'before and after' look at life in the South Wales Coalfield through Powell's text and Williams' accompanying images. In this striking collection of photographs, many previously unseen, Williams' camera captures defiance and solidarity against the odds during the strike and beyond.

Award-winning writer Richard Williams tells the remarkable story of the 24 Hours of Le Mans, one of the world's most iconic motorsports events, which celebrates its centenary in 2023.The event was created by a group of Frenchmen in 1923 and remains uniquely compelling to spectators, to the major motor manufacturers who continue to see it as an opportunity for priceless publicity, as well as to drivers hoping to add their names to its distinguished roll of honour. Between the wars, those manufacturers included Bugatti, Bentley and Alfa Romeo. Subsequently, Ferrari, Jaguar, Mercedes, Aston Martin, Ford, Porsche, Audi and Toyota have all been serial winners, guaranteeing the continuation of ferocious inter-marque rivalry.Over the decades the race acquired a rich folklore, including stories of leaking petrol tanks being sealed with chewing gum, one competitor making his last pit-stop for a fill-up and a glass of champagne, or the woman who drove her MG through the night wearing a fur coat. Competitors have included princes, debutantes, drug smugglers and a Nazi spy. Leading Hollywood film-makers lured to the romance of the race include Steve McQueen, who conceived and starred in Le Mans in 1971, and James Mangold, who made Le Mans '66 in 2019. But in 1955 it had also been the scene of the greatest tragedy ever to befall motor racing, when 82 people were killed by a competing car, an accident that for a while threatened the sport's entire future.

Exploring themes of fear, anxiety, forgiveness, and prayer, this book offers a profound devotional experience that transcends basic principles. It aims to inspire readers while imparting deeper truths about living a Godly life amidst a troubled world. Richard provides insightful teachings that address various pertinent subjects, making it a valuable resource for those seeking spiritual growth and understanding.

According to political histories and popular memory, he was a failure of a king, who was forced to surrender his kingdom to the East India Company, on the eve of the Indian Uprising of 1857. On the other hand, in musical histories, he is remembered either as a decadent aesthete or a path-breaking genius. The Scattered Court excavates the place of music in his court in Lucknow and his court-in-exile at Matiyaburj, Calcutta (1856-1887). The book charts the movement of musicians and dancers between these courts, as well as the transregional circulation of intellectual traditions and musical genres, and demonstrates the importance of the exile period for the rise of Calcutta as a celebrated center of Hindustani classical music. .
