Fetch Your Copy James Mays Magnificent Machines Fashioned By James May Conveyed In Pamphlet

book is so incredibly geeky, and I adored it, This book is quite interesting so far, I normally find James May a little dry, but wow, he's got an amazing sence of knowledge, This book is worth a read, but probably if your into cars or something like that, I am a huge James May fan and i'll be honest I didn't really have a keen interest in the subjects before I picked up the book, but his passion really comes through in the writing.
I admire his

ability to make you really interested in something, his clear enjoyment of the topics is very contagious.


Also on a side note
I met James may when he was signing this book and he is such a nice bloke! Really interesting overview of the biggest inventions and technical trends of theth century.


Not in depth enough about any one subject, but great for a broad view, Definitely gave me a list of topics to read about later in more detail, As light as a helium balloon, this seemed like a verbatim script from a TV show where viewers have the attention span of a gnat, or a lack of words can be filled with nice moving pictures.
To say it skimmed histories, like that of the Apollo project or the evolution of the Internet does a injustice to the word "skimmed".
Clarkson does this stuff too, but somehow much better, and you can see why he fronts Top Gear with a couple of lightweight supports.
Like James May.
I am a James May fan and honestly expected more from this book, If you want to learn about the history of invention you'd do we'll to read Bill Bryson's, "A Short History of Nearly Everything" instead.
Charming tale of invention

In a quirky humourous book, James May skips through centuries of change and addresses the drive for change that led to stealth fighters and lycra.
Amusing and fun Eminently readable, without being too technical, A great overview of some of the technological leaps of theth century, I enjoy James May on Top Gear very much, and this book lets you see a little bit into his own fascination with motors and technology.
Wish I could have seen the TV series, too! My dad will love this book, Bien sur James May n'a pas l'humour caustique et ravageur de Jeremy Clarkson, mais il est plus fin, plus british.
Et ce livre reprenant les plus grandes inventions de l'homme m'a appris différentes choses et anectodes et c'est très bien.
Engaging book written in an entertaining style covering technological advances of theth Century, It really is amazing the progress that was made in that time period, Our world has been transformed beyond recognition, particularly in theth century, and so were our lives and our aspirations.
Throughout James May's Magnificent Machines, James May explores the iconic themes of the past hundred years: flight, space travel, television, mechanized war, medicine, computers, electronic music, skyscrapers, electronic espionage, and much more.
But he also reveals the hidden story behind why some inventions like the zeppelin, the hovercraft, or the theremin struggled to make their mark.
He examines the tipping points when technologies such as the car or the internet became unstoppable and gets up close to the nuts and bolt of remarkable inventions.
Packed with surprising statistics and intriguing facts, this is the ideal book for anyone who wants to know how stuff works and why some stuff didn't make it.
Really a book of trivia, But quite like May's stuff I quite enjoyed it, especially how the author narrated his own book, The whole thing was really enjoyable, but maybe a little bit dry from time to time, Entertaining, lots of foolishness mixed with detailed historical information, typical James May, Great timepasser.
