The photos in this edition are black and white. <p>About a half-million Corvettes were sold between 1968 and 1982, and the distinctive Shark body style with the combination of V-8 power has gained legendary status. Some Corvettes are too rare and valuable to be modified. These include the big-block cars built between 1968 and 1974, which command big dollars at auctions. However, the vast majority of Corvettes, built between 1975 and 1982, are affordable and plentiful, and these are ideal for high-performance builds. <p>Many Corvettes from this era are often considered weekend cruisers because they carry antiquated brakes, steering, and suspension, and also anemic V-8 engines with 165-220 horsepower. Lacking modern technology, these 31-year-old or older cars are ripe for a high-performance transformation. And with the right build-up plan, products, and services, they can become high-performance sports cars that rival current sports cars on the road today. Corvette expert and builder Chris Petris shows how to transform a mundane C3 into a standout, high-performance car. The most popular upgrades to every component group are covered including engine, transmission, differential, front suspension, rear suspension, steering, chassis, electrics, interior, tires and wheels, and more. With this information, you will confidently know all the products and  procedures that make the car as a whole a far better performer than stock. <p><i>Corvette C3: How to Build and Modify</i> is the ideal book for the at-home mechanic as well as the adept enthusiast supervising the build-up of a Corvette. Whether it's mildly modifying your Corvette for greater comfort and drivability or substantially modifying it for vastly improved acceleration, braking, and handling, this book has a massive amount of information to help accomplish the reader's goals. 

Det europæiske forår er et dystopisk billede af Europas fremtid. Vi følger fire mennesker i begyndelsen af et nyt årtusinde. Lolland er blevet opkøbt af et internationalt konsortium, og nu skal øen omdannes til et økologisk drømmeland, hvor rige mennesker kan nyde lokale råvarer og en smuk – og slet ikke så naturlig – natur. For at bevare idyllen i Europa sætter danskerne hårdt ind over for terror, og med militærets hjælp deporteres samtlige urostiftere og utilpassede med muslimsk baggrund til en containerby i Mozambique. Forfatteren eksperimenterer med grænserne for, hvad man kan tillade sig i kunstens navn og med etikkens sande væsen. Idealer, udnyttelse og realitet går hånd i hånd i denne tankevækkende roman, som tvinger læseren til at forholde sig til store dilemmaer, som trods deres fiktive afsæt slet ikke føles langt væk fra den verden, vi lever i.

An unorthodox guide to making things worth making, from 'the father of the iPod and iPhone' and the creator of Nest.Everyone deserves a mentor. For every career crisis, every fork in the road, you need someone to talk to. Someone who's been there before, who knows exactly how wobbly and conflicted you feel, who can give it to you straight:Here's how to think about choosing a job. Here's how to be a better manager. Here's how to approach design. Here's how to start a company.Here's how to run it. Tony Fadell learned all these lessons the hard way. He spent the first 10 years of his career in Silicon Valley failing spectacularly, and the next 20 building some of the most impactful devices in history - the iPod, iPhone, and Nest Learning Thermostat. He has enough stories and advice about leadership, design, startups, mentorship, decision making, devastating screwups, and unbelievable success to fill an encyclopedia.So that's what this book is. An advice encyclopedia. A mentor in a box.But Tony's doesn't follow the standard Silicon Valley credo that you have to radically reinvent everything you do. His advice is unorthodox because it's old school. Because it's based on human nature, not gimmicks.Tony keeps things simple: he just tells you what works. He gives you exactly what you need to make things worth making.PRAISE FOR BUILDThis is the most fun - and the most fascinating - memoir of curiosity and invention that I've ever read.'

På få år er vores lille velfærdsstat blevet en forstad til Silicon Valley: Apple og Facebook bygger enorme datacentre i danske provinsbyer; Google har et tæt samarbejde med kommunerne; regeringen har nedsat et ”disruptionråd”, udpeget en ”tech-ambassadør” og lovet at gøre Danmarks til ”verdens mest digitaliserede land”. Samtidig forsøger en dansk modstandsbevægelse at tage magten tilbage fra tech-giganterne. De kan se, at digital overvågning, robotter og kunstig intelligens truer vores demokrati og frihed. Vi møder nørder, aktivister, hackere, dommedagsprofeter og cyborgs. Og vi finder ud af, hvad det er for nogle værdier, vi er i gang med at downloade fra USA.
