Tyler Hamilton – författare

WINNER OF THE WILLIAM HILL SPORTS BOOK OF THE YEAR AWARDOn a fateful night in 2009, Tyler Hamilton and Daniel Coyle met for dinner in Boulder, Colorado. Over the next eighteen months, Hamilton would tell Coyle his story, and his sport's story, in explosive detail, never sparing himself in the process. In a way, he became as obsessed with telling the truth as he had been with winning the Tour de France just a few years before. The truth would set Tyler free, but would also be the most damning indictment yet of teammates like Lance Armstrong.The result of this determination is The Secret Race, a book that pulls back the curtain and takes us into the secret world of professional cycling like never before. A world populated by unbelievably driven – and some flawed – characters. A world where the competition used every means to get an edge, and the options were stark. A world where it often felt like there was no choice.

An "illuminating and important" look at the scientists, engineers, and entrepreneurs who are working to save us from catastrophic climate change (New York Journal of Books). Nikola Tesla was considered a mad scientist by the society of his time for predicting global warming more than a hundred years ago. Today, we need visionaries like him to find sources of alternative energy and solutions to this looming threat. Mad Like Tesla takes an in-depth look at climate issues, introducing thinkers and inventors such as Louis Michaud, a retired refinery engineer who claims we can harness the energy of man-made tornadoes, and a professor and a businessman who are running a company that genetically modifies algae so it can secrete ethanol naturally. These individuals and their unorthodox methods are profiled through first-person interviews, exploring the social, economic, financial, and personal obstacles that they continue to face. Also covered is the existing state of green energy technologies—such as solar, wind, biofuels, smart grid, and energy storage—offering a ray of hope against a backdrop of dread. "Hamilton makes complex technologies comprehensible." —Library Journal

Palkittu tunnustuskirja huippu-urheilun pimeästä ytimestä ja Lance Armstrongin salatusta maailmastaLance katsoi minua silmiin - Luuletko, että voin joskus voittaa Tourin? Lance Armstrong halusi Ranskan ympäriajon suurvoittajaksi hinnalla millä hyvänsä. Saavuttaakseen voittonsa hän tarvitsi apuajajaansa Tyler Hamiltonia ja järjestelmällistä dopingia, jonka käyttö edellytti huikeita peiteoperaatioita. Pyöräilyn olympiavoittaja Tyler Hamiltonin yhteistyössä toimittaja Daniel Coylen kanssa kirjoittama teos on rehellinen, yksityiskohtainen ja riipaiseva kuvaus ammattipyöräilyn maailmasta. Hamilton kuvaa ennennäkemättömän avoimesti huippu-urheilun ja dopingin yhteenkietoutumisen. Kulissit romahtivat, kun Yhdysvaltain antidopingtoimisto USADA onnistui todistamaan, että Lance Armstrong oli urheiluhistorian suurimman doping-salaliiton sydän. Armstrong menetti paljastusten myötä seitsemän Ranskan ympäriajon voittoaan - tunnustaen lopulta itsekin dopingin käytön. Hei kaveri, onko sinulla Poeta lainattavaksi? Lance viittasi muina miehinä jääkaappia kohti. Ovessa maitotölkin vieressä oli laatikollinen EPO:a. Alkuteos The Secret Race - Inside the Hidden World of the Tour de France: Doping, Cover-ups, and Winning at All Costs julkaistiin Yhdysvalloissa viime syyskuussa. Kirja on saanut William Hill -palkinnon vuoden urheilukirjana Isossa-Britanniassa.Tämä sähkökirja toimii ePub-formaattia tukevilla lukuohjelmilla.
