The inspiration for this book was the enjoyment I get from reading to my two little girls every night. My life around the authentically passionate people in motorsports collided with cute fluffy animals, princesses and fairies after my girls were born. So, the idea of Feathers, Fur and Frog's Hair Adventures was born. This is a children's adventure story about little woodland and wetland animals that work on race cars. Robin is a bird who happens to know a lot about fixing race cars and enlists his woodland and wetland buddies to help him. They emanate the qualities of the people who appreciate motorsports in real life: competitive spirit, teamwork, tradition and conservation. This is an essential reading for anyone who wants to know the real reason race cars go fast!!! Also available at Amazon.com. ... Read more

Excerpt: A compass is a navigational instrument for determining direction relative to the Earth's magnetic poles. It consists of a magnetized pointer (usually marked on the North end) free to align itself with Earth's magnetic field. The compass greatly improved the safety and efficiency of travel, especially ocean travel. A compass can be used to calculate heading, used with a sextant to calculate latitude, and with a marine chronometer to calculate longitude. It thus provides a much improved navigational capability that has only been recently supplanted by modern devices such as the Global Positioning System (GPS). A compass is any magnetically sensitive device capable of indicating the direction of the magnetic north of a planet's magnetosphere. The face of the compass generally highlights the cardinal points of north, south, east and west. Often, compasses are built as a stand alone sealed instrument with a magnetized bar or needle turning freely upon a pivot, or moving in a fluid, thus able to point in a northerly and southerly direction. The compass was invented in ancient Chi...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=39316 ... Read more

Product Description

"There was no warning, just a loud metallic bang, and the engine noise stopped instantly. Everything immediately went white, as if I was a plane that had suddenly flown straight into a cloud. The cockpit of the car filled with thick, white smoke, stinging my eyes and nose. I couldn't even see the steering wheel, much less the road ahead."

Eddie Stewart has what it takes to become a top racing driver--everything, that is, except money. That hasn't stopped him and his team from sinking all their savings into a Trans-Am Mustang and entering it in their first pro race. But it will take more than skill and nerve to make it to the victory podium. Eddie is about to learn that some drivers will do anything to win--even play by their own set of rules.
