Despite its worldwide following, high levels of investment and scientific complexity, there is a lack of evidence-based literature on the science of human performance in motorsport. Focusing on the physiological, psychological and sport medicine aspects of training, performance, injury and safety, The Science of Motorsport is the first book to provide an accessible and up-to-date resource for stakeholders at all levels of motorsport.

Addressing the physiological and psychological stresses of racing across a full range of sports, from Formula 1 and IndyCar to NASCAR and endurance racing, the book includes chapters on:

• nutritional and physical training strategies for drivers;

• the driver’s neck;

• injury rates and pathologies of open-wheel driving;

• return to competition from concussion;

• driver safety;

• and considerations for pit crews and safety staff.

Accessibly written and made up of contributions from world-leading authorities in motorsport science research, this is a crucial resource for racing drivers, physical trainers, pit crew members and safety personnel, as well as researchers and students with an interest in applied sport physiology, applied sport psychology or sport medicine.

Everyone must tread down the selected path laid before the feet at birth. Some choose to walk hazzardly, others are destined to be thrust down this uncertainly, dangerous path that tests their limits of survival. The question is, will they stand or will they fall under the weight of uncertain change?

The Arson Murders is the third book in the William Barronson series. This time, William investigates a series of fires that are being set for either insurance or blackmail. As he starts his investigation, German agent, Carl Muller reappears. His mission is to get Barronson to return with him to Germany to be experimented on. If Barronson refuses, Muller threatens to kill members of his family. With these two problems William also struggles to control an injected serum that probably should have killed him.

The greatest mystery of all is who is behind The Arson Murders in this thrilling mystery novel.

A 1930s murder mystery in the July heat of Atlanta''s summer. A drunk and disgraced Detective William Barronson wishes only to die and join his deceased wife and son. Disgusted that his last drunk attempt failed, he heads to work for another day of ridicule. Knowing his captain will probably put him out giving parking tickets, Barronson swings by the old Aragon Hotel. He spots a familiar old work truck parked next to the hotel. Feeling something is not right, Barronson decides to investigate. Why? Because in his eleven years with the force, this is the first time anyone has ever parked here. The hotel is owned by the richest family in Atlanta, the McCallums. In its day, the hotel was the bell of the ball until a triple murder had closed it. Some say it''s haunted, some say it''s cursed. Either way, he had to check it out, being a cop. Once entering the hotel, William Barronson finds himself embroiled in theft, murder, love, betrayal, treason, and lost treasure-treasure that disappeared during the Battle of Atlanta in 1864.
