The definitive book on Kurtis championship cars, showcasing all 111 full-size ''champ'' cars that Frank Kurtis built between 1941 and 1963. Most of these cars were built specifically to race at Indianapolis. In fact, Kurtis' cars won the Indianapolis 500 five years out of six (1950-1955), and dominated the starting field from 1950 through 1958. Kurtis pioneered the ''roadster'' design, in which the engine was offset in the car, allowing the driver to sit much lower, reducing the height of the car and thus wind resistance. Roadsters were the last front-engine cars before the 1965 rear-engine revolution, and they are remembered with much nostalgia. Also see engineering drawings of the cars as well as dramatic starting field photos and crash photos. An appendix detailing car and engine serial numbers will add to your enjoyment.

"As the landmark Roe v. Wade decision reaches its 40th anniversary, abortion remains a polarizing topic on America's legal and political landscape. Blending history, culture, and law, Before Roe v. Wade eplores the roots of the conflict, recovering through original documents and first-hand accounts the voices on both sides that helped shape the climate in which the Supreme Court ruled. Originally published in 2010, this new edition includes a new Afterword that explores what the history of conflict before Roe teaches us about the abortion conflict we live with today. Examining the role of social movements and political parties, the authors cast new light on a pivotal chapter in American history and suggest how Roe v. Wade, the case, because Roe v. Wade, the symbol. "--Cover, p. 4.

Working out of his shop in Glendale, California, Frank Kurtis changed the face of American racing, producing hundreds of innovative midget, sprint, champ and Indy cars from 1935 to 1963. This photohistory examines the entire range of Kurtis-Kraft racers, with emphasis on cars that campaigned the Indianapolis 500 -- Kurtis-Kraft cars won the event five out of six years from 1950 to 1955, and in 1956, 21 of the 33 cars that started at the Brickyard were built by Kurtis. Fabulous period photos depict the cars, while White explains Kurtis innovations like longer wheelbases and lowered centers of gravity, as well as design follies that never panned out. Race records of cars and the men who drove them for Kurtis are also included.
