They Started in MGs
An affordable, lightweight sports car suitable for racing, the MG TC launched the sports car scene in postwar America. A wave of drivers first competed on the track in these and the later TD, TF and MGA models during the 1950s, many of them eventually moving up to Porsches, Alfa Romeos, Jaguars and Ferraris. Eighty such drivers, from the famous (e.g., Phil Hill, John Fitch, David E. Davis, Jr.) to lesser known men and women with equally vivid stories, are profiled in this book, which presents many of their recollections from firsthand interviews alongside a wealth of period photographs.

Siberian Saga
At about the same time as a UFO crashed in the New Mexico desert, and hushed up by the US government, another one fell to Earth in Siberia, Russia. The only difference: the “pilots” that crashed in Siberia were alive! Robert William Bruce, in this fourth novel, brings another adventure featuring retired naval intelligence officer, Commander Bill Lloyd, asked to investigate missing research dollars from the National Institute of Health (NIH). Lloyd and his team (Dr. Baker, his father-in-law and retired FBI scientist, and Dorothy, Dr. Baker’s daughter and Bill’s wife) are called to Washington, DC to investigate. Before they are able to question the research scientist in charge of the missing dollars, he’s murdered. But information leads the team to a remote prison hospital in Siberia, Russia, where cloning research is being conducted. The investigative team thus begins their quest for the truth in Siberia! But what is the cost for Bill, his family and friends, and untold scientific discoveries?
Empty Mills
With the economy struggling, there has been much discussion about the effects of deindustrialization on American manufacturing. While the steel and auto industries have taken up most of the spotlight, the textile and apparel industries have been profoundly affected. In Empty Mills, Timothy Minchin provides the first book length study of how both industries have suffered since WWII and the unwavering efforts of industry supporters to prevent that decline. In 1985, the textile industry accounted for one in eight manufacturing jobs, and unlike the steel and auto industries, more than fifty percent of the workforce was women or minorities. In the last four decades over two million jobs have been lost in the textile and apparel industries alone as more and more of the manufacturing moves overseas. Impeccably well researched, providing information on both the history and current trends, Empty Mills will be of importance to anyone interested in economics, labor, the social historical, as well as the economic significance of the decline of one of America’s biggest industries.
