By any measure, Porsche's 911 is one of the greatest sports cars of all time. A commercial sales success since its introduction, the 911 is arguably the most successful competition car ever built, with victories at the Monte Carlo Rally, Targa Florio, 24 Hours of Le Mans, 24 Hours of Daytona, and countless other events. The 911's incredible success has been based on two key factors: a brilliant and charismatic design that provides the perfect car for performance tuners of all ambitions and abilities, matched with Porsche's program of aggressive and innovative development, which has always kept the 911 several steps ahead of the competition. "Porsche 911 Performance Handbook 1963-1998 "is the third edition of Bruce Anderson's exhaustive guide to this famous sports car, covering the entire history of Porsche's air-cooled 911s.

This book is a must-have whether you're a 911 owner looking to add a little extra oomph to your daily commute, a weekend club racer, or a seasoned pro-series mechanic.

Students learn best when they are connecting with the language as it is used in real-world settings, with each other as a community, and with authentic culture. En avant! sparks the curiosity that builds these connections as students advance toward communicative and cultural competence in the introductory classroom. The En avant! program is built around the following distinctive principles:.Authenticity in presentation of the language and its speakers increases student motivation to learn the language..A focused approach with systematic review and recycling helps students master a manageable corpus of content..Instructors need flexibility to support different course schedules as well as in-person, hybrid, or fully-online instruction..(Inter)active learning draws students into the language acquisition process..(Inter)cultural competence-the seamless integration of culture and language-has always been a hallmark of the En avant! program

The idea of this book, the first in a series, is to give readers a sense of what vast Mendocino County is like, really like, from its beginnings to now. The contents derive from my readings of the scant formal histories of the county, and from my readings of the slightly more abundant memoirs of early settlers. My experiences are mixed in, and some of the book is autobiographical because you may want to know something about the person telling you these things. My family's history is intertwined in mostly oblique ways with the county, whose written history commenced with its merciless first settlers, the long, lethal sons of Missouri who rode west from the gold fields to occupy what must have seemed to them an endless, empty Eden of well-watered little valleys. But there had been people in this Eden for 12,000 years. Those people were annhilated before they could teach us what only they knew. The bouncing ball of the narrative you'll find here moves back and forth across time conveying, I hope, my sense of an accelerating history of often absurd, often bloody events visited upon a uniquely beautiful part of the country.

Drink! is a selection of fifty-two of Bruce Anderson's favourite columns, commenting on social mores, politics or the feeling of the man on the street, and always written with a recommendation for a suitable alcoholic supplement - largely wine.
