Excerpt: Terrence Steven "Steve" McQueen (March 24, 1930 November 7, 1980) was an American movie actor nicknamed "The King of Cool." His "anti-hero" persona, which he developed at the height of the Vietnam counterculture, made him one of the top box-office draws of the 1960s and 1970s. McQueen received an Academy Award nomination for his role in The Sand Pebbles. His other popular films include The Magnificent Seven, The Great Escape, The Thomas Crown Affair, Bullitt, The Getaway, Papillon, and The Towering Inferno. In 1974 he became the highest paid movie star in the world. Although McQueen was combative with directors and producers, his popularity put him in high demand and enabled him to command large salaries. He was an avid racer of both motorcycles and cars. While he studied acting, he supported himself partly by competing in weekend motorcycle races and bought his first motorcycle with his winnings. He is recognized for performing many of his own stunts, especially the majority of the stunt...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=144829 ... Read more

A McQueen Fan Must
Great rare pictures and insight into the personal life of McQueen. Family photos show another side of the so-called Hollywood wild bad-boy. Neile and his children were his legacy. Nice to see the intimate side of one of the great actors and screen legends of all time. Super photography and some of the most handsome pictures of the star. Totally a keeper; shared it with my Father, one of McQueen's most dedicated fans of all time.

Nice Photos, but it could be better
'A Life in Pictures' is a bit misleading as the title. Yes, there are several photos spanning McQueen's acting career, but it is hardly comprehensive. For every rare photo (or color version), there is a familiar one (some published a few years ago in the excellent book of McQueen photos by William Claxton). For some reason, the photos are not in chronological order which can be a bit jarring when jumping from the family pictures of McQueen from the 1960s to the longer haired McQueen of the 1970s. This book is filled with quality photos of Steve McQueen. Most are large, and several are in color. This is a book for someone who is a devoted fan or just wants nice pictures of McQueen in one book. ... Read more

Né dans une famille passionnée de moto, Nicky Hayden s'est mis en selle à l'âge de trois ans. Sa carrière commence dès l'année suivante, en dirt-track.

Excerpt: Juha Matti Pellervo Kankkunen (·)) (born 2 April, 1959 in Laukaa) is a Finnish former rally driver. His factory team career in the World Rally Championship lasted from 1983 to 2002. He won 23 world rallies and four drivers' world championship titles, which were both once records in the series. Sébastien Loeb has since collected more world titles, but no driver has so far been able to repeat Kankkunen's feat of becoming a world champion with three different manufacturers. Kankkunen was signed by Toyota in 1983 and he took his first WRC win in his third year in the team. His performances got him a deal with the defending champions Peugeot for 1986, and Kankkunen was soon crowned the series' youngest-ever champion.

Free updates online. Purchase includes a free trial membership in the publisher's book club where you can select from more than a million books without charge. Excerpt: This page is a comprehensive listing and detailing of the various characters in the television series House, divided sectionally as appropriate. The original diagnostic team consisted of Dr. Cameron, Dr. Chase and Dr. Foreman. While both of their tenures had brief interruptions, Chase and Cameron still appear semi-regularly on the show. They advise the newer fellows in the Diagnostic Department in seasons 45, or participate in cases directly when appropriate. Following the events of the season three finale, House began a long-running competition to select a new diagnostic team, progressively eliminating "contestants" from an original pool of 40 applicants. This story arc ran through the first half of Season 4, from episodes 4-02 to 4-09. His final team consists of Dr. Foreman and the three successful "contestants": Dr. Taub, Dr. Kutner and "Thirteen". Chi McBrideEdward Vogler (Chi McBride) is the billionaire owner of a pharmaceutical firm and, in a season 1 story arc, became the new chairman of the board of PPTH, a position he gained through a $100 million donation to the hospital. Vogler sought to reshape PPTH into a testing facility for his firm's new drugs and saw House's maverick ways and blatant disregard for rules and authority figures as a substantial legal and financial liability. When House refused to kowtow, so to speak, to Vogler's increasingly capricious demands (including an order for House to fire one of his fellows) and made a mockery of Vogler's company at a press banquet, Vogler gave the board an ultimatum: fire House, or lose Vogler's grant.
