Shortlisted for the Motoring Book of the Year Awards 2025 Category: Best Debut Author (Graham Robson Trophy)China is now at the forefront of electric vehicle adoption and a wave of Chinese manufactured cars is now hitting Europe and the West. As the world's largest car producer since 2008, China's automotive industry deserves a closer look.Driving the Dragon explores the history of Chinese car manufacture, looking at some of the important cars on that journey, the false starts and missed opportunities. The story begins with the Rover 75 and how it played a key role in moving the Chinese car industry forward. It concludes with a look at cars from the likes of BYD, Zeekr and Nio, which are becoming mainstream in the UK and Europe as some of the most competitive electric vehicles on the market, not just in terms of price but also performance and desirability.For many people China is still a very enigmatic country, not helped by recent political events. While the book focuses on the automotive industry it also looks at the country itself and examines the culture surrounding the industry.The author spent 30 years in China, teaching, test driving and reviewing Chinese cars, and writing, while witnessing first-hand the extraordinary growth of the Chinese car industry.

Selected poems of Daniel Thaly

In the first quarter of the 20th century, Daniel Thaly of Dominica, then a British Caribbean colony, was one of France’s most celebrated poets. He was educated in Martinique and then at medical school in France before returning to Dominica. His illustrious reputation crumbled when radicals in the emerging anti-colonial Negritude movement criticised his work. From then on he wrote little. Here for the first time in English (and French) we can read a selection of his lyrical and passionate poems - many about Dominica - alongside an introduction that pieces together what little is known of his life.

This approachable introduction to doing data science in R provides step-by-step advice on using the tools and statistical methods to carry out data analysis. Introducing the fundamentals of data science and R before moving into more advanced topics like Multilevel Models and Probabilistic Modelling with Stan, it builds knowledge and skills gradually. This book:

Focuses on providing practical guidance for all aspects, helping readers get to grips with the tools, software, and statistical methods needed to provide the right type and level of analysis their data requires Explores the foundations of data science and breaks down the processes involved, focusing on the link between data science and practical social science skills Introduces R at the outset and includes extensive worked examples and R code every step of the way, ensuring students see the value of R and its connection to methods while providing hands-on practice in the software Provides examples and datasets from different disciplines and locations demonstrate the widespread relevance, possible applications, and impact of data science across the social sciences.

Statistics doesn’t have to feel confusing or intimidating.Written by authors who genuinely love statistics, A Student’s Guide to Statistics Using R offers a clear, confidence-building introduction to quantitative analysis for the social sciences. It introduces core statistical methods through a coherent model-building approach, helping students understand how statistics works, why it matters for social research, and how different techniques fit together.Covering all the key methods students encounter in social science degrees—including t-tests, regression, ANOVA, confidence intervals, hypothesis testing, and Bayesian approaches—the book shows how statistical models make sense of messy, real-world data. R is introduced step by step, with clear explanations of code and output so students understand the analysis and can work with confidence, not guesswork.By focusing on underlying principles rather than rules, this book builds lasting understanding and prepares students for more advanced statistical challenges.For undergraduate and postgraduate social science students learning statistics and data analysis using R.

Der Aufstieg der Sisters Of Mercy

The Sisters Of Mercy:die Gründerväter des Gothic RockAnfang der Achtzigerjahre, beeinflusst vom kühlen Postpunk der damaligen Zeit, entstand in Großbritannien ein neues Musikgenre: Gothic. Nach The Cure, Joy Division und Siouxsie & The Banshees trat 1982 mit den Sisters Of Mercy eine neue Band ins Stroboskoplicht, die diese Musik und das dazugehörige Image entscheidend prägen sollte - und deren Einfluss auf die florierende deutsche Darkwave-Szene der Neunziger gar nicht hoch genug eingeschätzt werden kann.Hinter den Sisters steht bis heute eine der schillerndsten Figuren der Rockszene. Andrew Eldritch gab den eigentlich eher kühl und elektronisch karg aufgebauten Songs seiner Band mit seinem dramatischen Baritongesang eine überraschend emotionale Note, und darüber hinaus stilisierte er sich zum ultimativ geheimnisvollen Gothic-Zeremonienmeister, der nichts von sich preisgab und sich auf der Bühne hinter einer Wand aus Trockeneisnebel versteckte. Über sein Privatleben drang nie etwas an die Öffentlichkeit, und Fotos ohne Sonnenbrille gab es nicht. Eldritch zelebrierte das Mysterium des Rockstars, um es sich gleichzeitig in seiner Musik ironisch zu brechen.Dem Journalisten Mark Andrews ist es nun gelungen, Licht in das von Eldritch so sorgsam gehütete Dunkel zu bringen. Im nordenglischen Leeds, in dem die Sisters zwischen Punk, Glam und Electro ihre ersten Schritte unternahmen, ging er auf eine gründliche Spurensuche und förderte in Interviews mit alten Weggefährten und Musikschaffenden sowie dank Privatkontakte jede Menge neuer Informationen zutage, die selbst eingefleischte Fans überraschen dürften. Sein erhellendes Porträt der frühen Sisters-Jahre zeigt vor allem, wie der Student Andrew Taylor die Kunstfigur Eldritch erfand und den Masterplan hinter den Sisters ausheckte, zeichnet aber auch eine gelungene Skizze der fruchtbaren Musikszene der damaligen Zeit und spart nicht mit amüsanten Anekdoten.Ein Buch, das in der bis heute großen Fangemeinde der Düsterrocker mit großer Spannung erwartet wird!
