James Newman Gray Knihy

Len málo pretekárov rozvírilo hladinu vo formule 1 takým spôsobom ako Max Verstappen. Stal sa najmladším pretekárom v histórii F1, kde v roku 2015 prerazil už ako sedemnásťročný. Hneď v prvých pretekoch za stajňu Red Bull si počas Veľkej ceny Španielska pripísal aj prvé kariérne víťazstvo, vďaka čomu sa stal najmladším víťazom pretekov v dejinách a vlastne aj najmladším pretekárom, ktorý dosiahol umiestnenie na stupni víťazov, alebo sa počas nich vôbec ocitol na vedúcej priečke. Max je synom legendárneho pilota F1 Josa Verstappena a špičkovej motokárovej pretekárky Sophie Kumpenovej, a tak mu pretekárska kariéra bola súdená. Od svojho veľkolepého debutu dodnes pokračuje vo výnimočných výkonoch, vďaka ktorým si získal množstvo fanúšikov aj kritikov. Športový novinár James Gray v tejto knihe zachytáva priamočiaru povahu aj agresívny jazdecký štýl, vďaka ktorému sa Max Verstappen stal neprehliadnuteľnou osobnosťou na okruhu aj mimo neho.

James L. Newman brings a lifetime of study to this powerful exploration of the rich and varied interaction between gorillas and humans since earliest contact. Tragically, most free-living gorillas--facing habitat loss, disease, and poaching--are now endangered. At the same time, those in zoos and sanctuaries now lead much more secure lives. Following this transition through time, Newman highlights the roles played by key individuals, both humans and gorillas. Among the former have been adventurers, opportunists, writers, and scientists. The latter include real gorillas, such as Gargantua and Koko, and fictional ones, notably King Kong and Mighty Joe Young. This compelling book helps us understand how our image of gorillas has been both distorted and clarified through culture and science for centuries and how we now control the destiny of these magnificent great apes.
