` It ought to be a film, of course, pitched somewhere between The Right Stuff & Chariots of Fire. Meanwhile, Don Hale`s well-ordered, compelling book will do nicely` Andrew Martin, Daily Express Seventy years ago, on 3 July 1938, on the East Coast main line, the streamlined A4 Pacific locomotive Mallard reached a top speed of 126mph
- a world record for steam locomotives which still stands. Since then, millions have seen this famous locomotive, resplendent in her blue livery, on display at the National Railway Museum in York. Reissued for the 75th anniversary of the speed record, Don Hale tells the full story of how the record was broken, from the nineteenth century rivalry to be fastest between London & Scotl&, &, surprisingly, traces Mallard`s futuristic design to the Bugatti car & Germany`s nascent Third Reich, which elevated the train into an instrument of national prestige. & he celebrates the singular figure of Mallard`s designer, Sir Nigel Gresley, one of Britain`s most gifted engineers. Mallard is a wonderfully nostalgic evocation of one of British technology`s finest hours. Don Hale is the author of Town without Pity, about his investigation of the wrongful conviction of Stephen Downing for murder, for which Hale was awarded the OBE.

” Elemental, fundamental, & delicious” is how Anthony Bourdain describes the trailblazing live-fire cooking of Francis Mallmann. The New York Times called Mallmann`s first book, Seven Fires, ”captivating” & ”inspiring.” & now, in Mallmann on Fire, the passionate master of the Argentine grill takes us grilling in magical places
- in winter`s snow, on mountaintops, on the beach, on the crowded streets of Manhattan, on a deserted island in Patagonia, in Paris, Brooklyn, Bolinas, Brazil
- each locale inspiring new discoveries as revealed in 100 recipes for meals both intimate & outsized. We encounter legs of lamb & chicken hung from strings, coal-roasted delicata squash, roasted herbs, a parrillada of many fish, & all sorts of griddled & charred meats, vegetables, & fruits, plus rustic desserts cooked on the chapa & baked in wood-fired ovens.
