Californias central coast was fertile ground for hot rodding; and all motor sports in general; during the 1940s and 1950s. Hot Rodding in Santa Barbara County takes the reader back in time with a collection of remarkable photographs from the earliest days of the hot rod movement. This book includes images of the first drag strips in the country; rough-and-tumble jalopy racing; early road-racing action; and lots of great hot rods and customs. Follow local hot-rodders as they take trips to El Mirage dry lake and the world-famous salt flats at Bonneville; Utah; and visit a long-lost world as seen through photographs taken from the personal albums of people who contributed to the birth of a culture that would spread across the nation.

A Perfect PerformanceBy Bill BlazajowskiImpeccably researched and beautifully written; Alexander Nemerovs study on the American Civil War is an astounding work of scholarship. Like the influence of the October 17; 1863 performance of Macbeth he traces; his study creates a unique art historical space that disrupts and reconfigures the already well-trod ground of American Civil War history. Yet as each chapter unfolds; we dimly intuit we are reading more than mere art history. Nemerov has privileged us with something more fundamental; more essential than that. We have instead encountered a work of art in its own right.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Five StarsBy JJWow - exhilarating exploration
