 | Honda's V-Force by Jim Ryder
During the decade prior to the advent of the World Superbike Championship in 1988, Honda's RVF four-stroke motorcycles dominated the World Endurance Championship and the World F1 Championship. Initially, however, Honda's V-4 powerplant was a total disaster. But with major financial reinvestment, the engine's fortunes turned and it went on to enjoy significant competition success. This is the story behind the development of Honda's four-stroke RVF and RS racers, as well as the VFR streetbike, which has remained a highly sought-after motorcycle for more than a decade. Author Julian Ryder follows Honda's four-stroke engine, from the early disappontments, to the competition successes of Joey Dunlop, to the introduction of the fuel-injected RC45, which is still the basis for today's Superbike races. Also included are detailed competition results and motorcycle specifications. AUTHOR: Jim Ryder

 | People Vs Big Tobacco by Adam Levy, Carrick Mollenkamp, Joseph Menn
Memphis, Tennessee, 1993. Attorney Michael Lewis looks into the emaciated face of his friend, a lifelong smoker dying of cancer, and resolves that something has to be done to right the wrong. Big Tobacco, which in four decades of litigation has never paid a penny, must be held accountable for the human and financial wreckage its products leave behind - especially the millions of lives snuffed out. Four years later, Mississippi Attorney General Mike Moore stands at his microphone in the ballroom of the ANA Hotel in Washington, D.C., and announces to the nation that Big Tobacco has just conceded the biggest legal settlement in history - $368.5 billion. And from the moment it is announced, the agreement is attacked and applauded from every side. For the first time, the facts behind this fascinating story are woven into a single investigative narrative. Written by a reporting team positioned, from the very beginning, close to key players from all sides of the legal battleground, this compelling human spectacle takes us behind closed doors to witness greed, duplicity, sacrifice, the power of people with influence, and the ingenuity of people without power. With its tales of reversals, brilliant compromises, and cold-eyed brinkmanship, The People vs. Big Tobacco lets readers become insiders themselves in one of the most consequential social and financial dramas of our century.
