Michael Clayton Bücher

Es gehört zu den bekanntesten und meist verkauften Jeep-Büchern in Deutschlands: Michael Claytons „Der Jeep“. Das äußerlich eher unscheinbar wirkende Büchlein, das 1986 erstmals erschien und -zig Auflagen erlebte, ist nun nach einer längeren Pause wieder lieferbar. Überarbeitet, ergänzt und auf den neuesten Stand gebracht, hat diese sehnlichst erwartete Neuauflage wieder das Zeug zum Klassiker der Motorliteratur - wie auch das Fahrzeug, um das es hier geht: den seit 60 Jahren bekannten, kernigen Geländewagen Jeep in all seinen Spielarten und Weiterentwicklungen. Nach wie vor gibt es kein kompetenteres Buch zur Geschichte des Ur-Jeeps und zur Restaurierung des Klassikers, doch finden hier nun auch die neuesten Entwicklungen der mittlerweile zu DaimlerChrysler gehörenden Marke Beachtung.

Few people hunting today are really aware of the history of their sport. Most accounts of the subject tend to be somewhat dry and academic. So, in an easy and entertaining manner, here is a concise version of how this much-misunderstood sport has survived and flourished through centuries of change, to the benefit of the fox and its environment.* Concise chapters gallop through the history of hunting from 1066 to the present day, interspersed with snippets of hunting verse and song* Index of foxhunting packs in the UK and US* Specially-commissioned line illustrations of hunting scenes by Alistair Jackson

By the mid-1980s, football hooliganism in the UK was endemic. The thugs were rampant, crowds were falling and the Government was near despair. Among the worst gangs in the country was a crew of thieves and thugs who followed Birmingham City FC. They looted shops, ransacked pubs and butchered rival fans. They called themselves the Zulu Warriors. In 1987, West Midlands Police set up a secret unit to infiltrate the gang and bring them down. Operation Red Card was born.

The history of Britain's first police dog unit and their brave exploits.

Set against a backdrop of centuries-old Native American curses, the story unfolds in Juniper, a town rife with unexplained deaths and political corruption. It weaves a complex narrative featuring a torrid love affair, an old friend escaping the mob, and a diverse cast of eccentric locals. Themes of gender and racial bigotry intertwine with international crime and terrorism, while whispers of organ harvesting and an ancient superstition about a werewolf add an eerie tension to the unfolding drama.

Through personal stories and scriptural insights, the book illustrates how individuals can discover their divine calling by relying on Jesus and the Word. It emphasizes the importance of God's mercy, power, and truth in nurturing a strong faith, especially during life's most challenging moments. The narrative encourages readers to embrace their spiritual journey with confidence and resilience.

Michael Clayton enjoyed a fascinating career as a professional journalist on Fleet Street. However, the highlight of his career was his work as an editor and journalist in the field of horses, and with hunting horses in particular. This is his autobiography in horses: his boyhood work in local stables, his first post as a cub reporter, leading eventually to his appointment as editor of Horse and Hound magazine. Here he talks frankly about his involvement with the Royal family and their horses, his roving hunting brief, the development of new safety standards in riding, and all the key characters of the equine world whom he got to know first-hand. He worked as a reporter of horse-racing, show-jumping, carriage driving (disastrous!) and with almost all the hunts of Britain, Ireland and the USA. Michael also recalls the time of the hunting ban, among other key moments
