Wow! Another absolutely amazing Car Tech publication, this time covering Ford Motor's drag racing history during the 60s-70s. The amount of research, details, and the vintage photographs here are simply stunning. Charles R. Morris has done a fantastic job of collecting and assembling this material into a cohesive whole that tells the story of a bygone era. And....the cars! The many Cobras, Mustangs, Fairlaines, Galaxies, Comets, and Thunderbolts are covered in great detail, with plenty of specs and racing history. I drooled when I saw the photos of Carrol Shelby's "Super Snake", the "Lively One" Thunderbolts, the vintage maroon-colored '64 Mercury Marauder with factory 427, and the reproduced documents from Ford regarding engine specs show more and modifications, like "Some questions and answers on drag strip use of the 427." This was quite obviously a labor of love by Mr. Morris, who writes in the book, "Over the years I've had people remark about my ability to recall seemingly unimportant events from long ago in such great detail. What they fail to understand is the imagery and good feelings that these memories are able to conjure up in a middle-aged man who was once a teenager." Indeed, there are many, many good feelings in this amazing book. Kudos to the author and Car Tech -- keep 'em coming! show less

Common Knowledge
- Canonical title
- The New Testament: A Very Short Introduction
- First words
- The twenty-seven slender compositions of the New Testament were written in the ordinary Greek (Koine) of the early Roman Empire.
- Last words
- (Click to show. Warning: May contain spoilers.)Jesus' Sermon on the Mount (Matt 5–7), Paul's Hymn of Love (1 Cor 13), the depiction of the first believers sharing all their possessions (Acts 4:32–37), Jesus' call to abandon everything and give everything away for the sake of the kingdom and for the sake of the world's poor (Lk 12:22–34; 14:26–33)—these words bear no taint of evil, no stain of selfishness, and these are the words that the saints, through history and still today, turn to in support of their generous and world-enhancing lives.
