Britain's 100 Best Railway Stations
Simon Jenkins has travelled the length and breadth of Great Britain, from Waterloo to Wemyss Bay, Betws-y-Coed to Beverley, to select his hundred best.It is an institution with its own rituals and priests, and a long-neglected aspect of Britain's architecture. And yet so little do we look at the railway station.Blending his usual insight and authority with his personal reflections and experiences - including his founding the Railway Heritage Trust - the foremost expert on our national heritage deftly reveals the history, geography, design and significance of each of these glories.Beautifully illustrated with colour photographs throughout, this is a uplifting exploration of our social history. 'Britain's 100 Best Railway Stations' shows the station's role in the national conscious, champions the engineers, architects and rival companies that made them possible; and tells the story behind the triumphs and follies of these very British creations.Publisher: Penguin Books Ltd ISBN: 9780241978986

Meetings with Remarkable Manuscripts
This is a book about why medieval manuscripts matter. Coming face to face with an important illuminated manuscript in the original is like meeting a very famous person. We may all pretend that a well-known celebrity is no different from anyone else, and yet there is an undeniable thrill in actually meeting and talking to a person of world stature. The idea for the book, which is entirely new, is to invite the reader into intimate conversations with twelve of the most famous manuscripts in existence and to explore with the author what they tell us about nearly a thousand years of medieval history - and sometimes about the modern world too.Christopher de Hamel introduces us to kings, queens, saints, scribes, artists, librarians, thieves, dealers, collectors and the international community of manuscript scholars, showing us how he and his fellows piece together evidence to reach unexpected conclusions. He traces the elaborate journeys which these exceptionally precious artefacts have made through time and space, shows us how they have been copied, who has owned them or lusted after them (and how we can tell), how they have been embroiled in politics and scholarly disputes, how they have been regarded as objects of supreme beauty and luxury and as symbols of national identity.The book touches on religion, art, literature, music, science and the history of taste. Part travel book, part detective story, part conversation with the reader, Meetings with Remarkable Manuscripts conveys the fascination and excitement of encountering some of the greatest works of art in our culture which, in the originals, are to most people completely inaccessible. At the end, we have a slightly different perspective on history and how we come by knowledge. It is a most unusual book.'An endlessly fascinating and enjoyable book' Neil MacGregor'Full of delights' Tom StoppardPublisher: Penguin Books LtdISBN: 9780241003046

Playing to the Gallery: Helping Contemporary Art…
"I have never read such a stimulating short guide to art. It should be issued as a set text in every school." (Lynn Barber, Sunday Times Now). Grayson Perry is a fully paid-up member of the art establishment, he wants to show that any of us can appreciate art (after all, there is a reason he's called this book Playing to the Gallery and not 'Sucking up to an Academic Elite'). Based on his hugely popular BBC Radio 4 Reith Lectures and full of pictures, this funny, personal journey through the art world answers the basic questions that might occur to us in an art gallery but seem too embarrassing to ask.

How to Build a Car: The Autobiography of the…
From his early career in IndyCar racing and on to his unparalleled success in Formula One, we learn in comprehensive, engaging and highly entertaining detail how a car actually works.The world's foremost designer in Formula One, Adrian Newey OBE is arguably one of Britain's greatest engineers and this is his fascinating, powerful memoir.How to Build a Car explores the story of Adrian's unrivalled 35-year career in Formula One through the prism of the cars he has designed, the drivers he has worked alongside and the races in which he's been involved.A true engineering genius, even in adolescence Adrian's thoughts naturally emerged in shape and form - he began sketching his own car designs at the age of 12 and took a welding course in his school summer holidays.Adrian Newey has designed for the likes of Mario Andretti, Nigel Mansell, Alain Prost, Damon Hill, David Coulthard, Mika Hakkinen, Mark Webber and Sebastian Vettel, always with a shark-like purity of purpose: to make the car go faster. And while his career has been marked by unbelievable triumphs, there have also been deep tragedies; most notably Ayrton Senna's death during his time at Williams in 1994.Publisher: HarperCollins Publishers ISBN: 9780008196806

Top Gear: Dream Cars: The Hot 100
Whether it?s through raw power, elegant curves or just an eye-watering price tag, there are a small number of cars that mark the pinnacle of automotive design ? and now the experts at Top Gear have chosen the very best of them. What makes a dream car? Or even, why do some four-wheeled lumps of metal, plastic and rubber send otherwise rational humans into paroxysms of automotive rapture, while others stir no more emotion than a particularly forgettable chest freezer or microwave? Look inside and you'll see, its more than just speed, although yes that does help. Some dream cars are less than face-alteringly fast, some are actually pretty downright slow. But Dream Cars are just that, what they say on the tin, and why not let us dream hey? We can admire the pure beauty and elegance, in each and every fine detail of a car and that's never going to change. So embrace it, take a look inside, open up the bonnet of this admirable piece of art we like to call a book, and make your decision on The Hot 100 dream cars in the world. Car fanatics across the world, enjoy and embrace the beauty of each page.
