Removed from their ordinary environment and shot on black backgrounds, the photographer's lens reveals not just the engineering brilliance of these cars, but also the inherent beauty in their form and details.

A Passion for Speed
|  Are you a Steve McQueen fan? Two new holiday books profile the speed-loving actor.
Steve McQueen: A Passion for Speed features rare photography and chronicles McQueen's fascination with and passion for all things internal-combustion powered. McQueen's need for speed propelled him from Hollywood into a number of top off-road motorcycle races, including the Baja 1000, Mint 400, and Elsinore Grand Prix. Those races and more are featured. A second new title, Steve McQueen: The Actor and His Films, is the definitive account of every film that the iconic actor made. This lavishly illustrated book devotes nearly 500 pages to McQueen's career and tracks his journey from juvenile delinquent, to Marine, to an aspiring actor breaking into Hollywood, until he became a global superstar and the highest-paid actor of his era. Included are numerous behind the scenes tales of events that occurred leading up to and during filming, and fascinating insights into McQueen's acting techniques and motivations. |
| A History of Locomotives
|  For the railroad lover on your list, Electro-Motive E-Units and F-Units is a fascinating look back at some of the greatest locomotives ever to travel across America.
Blending automotive manufacturing and styling techniques with state-of-the-art diesel-electric technologies, General Motors' Electro-Motive Division conceived and marketed America's first commercially successful road diesels: the fabulous E-Units and F-Units. This illustrated companion to Voyageur Press' Alco Locomotives(2009) and Baldwin Locomotives (2010) is the most comprehensive history of the most recognizable locomotives ever built. Beginning with the 1937 debut of the fast and powerful E-Units designed for long-haul passenger service, author Brian Solomon treats readers to a wonderful array of archival imagery while explaining the impact the locomotives made on the locomotive market and the railroad industry. |
