The photos in this edition are black and white. Brake systems are one of the most important yet least understood vehicle systems. Brake systems can be intimidating, and they aren't the first thing the average horsepower junkie chooses to upgrade. But there's no reason to wait until you have a problem to learn how your brakes work. High-Performance Brake Systems: Design, Selection, and Installation gives you the knowledge to upgrade your brakes the right way the first time. Author James Walker, Jr. doesn't just tell you what to do--he uses over 315 photos and plain English to help you understand how and why your brake system works, what each of the components does, and how to intelligently upgrade your brakes for better performance. There are chapters showing you how to choose and install the most effective rotors, calipers, pads, and tires for your sports car, muscle car, race car, and street rod. You'll even find special sidebars detailing how each upgrade will affect your ABS system. Whether you are a commuter, a casual enthusiast, a weekend warrior, or a professional racer, this book is perfect for you.

Facing adversity is a part of life. It is up to those challenged as to how these obstacles will impact their lives. In this inspiring new book, Stack the Logs! Building a Success Framework to Reach Your Dreams, Frank F. Lunn describes how his relationship with his late father and his young son's devastating diagnosis of leukemia led to a new formula for success based on a tried and true philosophy. The result is a remarkable lesson on how we can get the most out of life. Lunn, who has a successful entrepreneurial background, engages you from the very first pages. He describes an experience with his father, which provided the foundation for the book, and details his own son's frightening fight against cancer. Lunn tells of a simple note in a birthday card from his father about how "stacking the logs" one at a time -- making life choices, one by one -- was the only route to success and how it suddenly became clear this simplistic idea was truly profound. Frank F. Lunn was living a normal busy life when he received a phone call that stopped time: His eight-year-old son had just been diagnosed with leukemia. The next six months were a struggle for the entire Lunn family, as they battled with Frankie against a cancer of the blood and bone marrow, a cancer very similar to what ironically had defeated Lunn's father four years earlier. At the time of his son's illness, the premise for this book was still in its infancy. It is based on his father's homespun advice to "stack the logs," one decision and choice stacked on top of another, until success is achieved.
