Lord Dainton, known throughout his life as Fred, was the ninth child of a Sheffield stonemason. A lifelong advocate of higher education, he became Professor of Chemistry in Leeds and Oxford, Vice-Chancellor of the University of Nottingham during the period of radical student unrest, and Chairman of the University Grants Committee. In retirement, as Chairman of the British Library Board, he persuaded Mrs Thatcher to authorise construction of the new u500 million building for the British Library at St Pancras. He died in 1997, just as the Library opened to the public. In this memoir, written in the last two years of his life, Fred discusses the nature and organisation of education and research, dealing with ethical issues as well as policies and practicalities. He offers shrewd glances below the waterline of government and the establishment, with a veritable roll-call of famous names and a wealth of anecdote to enthuse the scientist, social historian and general reader alike."

Der Österreicher Niki Lauda prägte die Formel 1 über Jahrzehnte wie kein Zweiter - als erfolgreicher Fahrer, aber als auch Manager und Macher hinter den Kulissen. Seine einmalige Lebensgeschichte umfasst sportliche Meilensteine wie zwei Weltmeistertitel mit Ferrari und die weltberühmte Rivalität mit James Hunt in den 70er-Jahren (verfilmt im Kinofilm Rush), aber auch dramatische Wendepunkte wie den fast tödlichen Unfall auf dem Nürburgring, Rücktritt und den Beginn der Unternehmerkarriere sowie die langjährige, erfolgreiche Arbeit als Manager, Medienexperte und Berater in der Formel 1. Der preisgekrönte Autor und Journalist Maurice Hamilton, der Niki Lauda mehr als vierzig Jahre lang begleitete, führte für die erste umfassende Biografie zahlreiche Gespräche mit der Familie, Freunden, Wegbegleitern und Mitstreitern. Entstanden ist ein einmaliges, tiefgehendes Porträt dieser großen Sport- und Unternehmerpersönlichkeit.
