Resumen del Editor
From the humble garden lawnmower to the ear-splitting electric guitar, James May returns with a typically wacky account of what makes these great machines work, one piece at a time.
Reassembly is merely a form of therapy, something that stimulates a part of my brain that is left wanting in my daily life. When I rebuild a bicycle, I reorder my head. So might you....
I'm delighted that you will be listening to an audiobook about putting things back together. It's a subject that fascinates me but which I assumed was a lonely passion that I would take to the grave, unconsummated by the normal channels of human interaction. Welcome! You and I, we are not alone, and our screwdrivers are our flashing Excaliburs as we sally forth to make small parts of the fragmented world whole again.

In 2007, the X Prize Foundation announced that it would give $10 million to anyone who could build a safe, mass-producible car that could travel one hundred miles on the energy equivalent of a gallon of gas. The challenge attracted more than one hundred teams from all over the world, including dozens of amateurs. Many designed their cars entirely from scratch, rejecting decades of thinking about what a car should look like.

With this updated edition of his earlier book, A Place of My Own, listeners can revisit the inspired, intelligent, and often hilarious story of Pollan’s realization of a room of his own—a small, wooden hut, his “shelter for daydreams” — built with his admittedly unhandy hands. Inspired by both Thoreau and Mr. Blandings, A Place of My Own not only works to convey the history and meaning of all human building, it also marks the connections between our bodies, our minds, and the natural world.

Like the alphabet, the calendar, or the zodiac, the periodic table of the chemical elements has a permanent place in our imagination. But aside from the handful of common ones (iron, carbon, copper, gold), the elements themselves remain wrapped in mystery. We do not know what most of them look like, how they exist in nature, how they got their names, or of what use they are to us.

Captivated, he plunged headlong into this mysterious world.

Historia
In the mid- to late-19th century, a burgeoning science called electricity promised to shine new light on a rousing nation. Inventive and ambitious minds were hard at work. Soon that spark was fanned, and a war was under way to be the first to light - and run - the world with electricity. Thomas Alva Edison, the inventor of direct current (DC), engaged in a brutal battle with Nikola Tesla and George Westinghouse, the inventors of alternating current (AC). There would be no ties in this race - only a winner and a loser - and the prize was a nationwide monopoly in electric current.

As a devoted son, as a passionate husband, and above all as a father, Chabon's memories of childhood, of his parents' marriage and divorce, of moments of painful adolescent comedy and giddy encounters with the popular art and literature of his own youth, are like a theme played by the mad quartet of which he now finds himself co-conductor. At once dazzling, hilarious, and moving, Manhood for Amateurs is destined to become a classic.

In Tom Wolfe's hands, the strange saga of American architecture in the 20th century makes for both high comedy and intellectual excitement. This is his sequel to The Painted Word, the book that caused such a furor in the art world five years before. Once again Wolfe shows how social and intellectual fashions have determined aesthetic form in our time and how willingly the creators have abandoned personal vision and originality in order to work a la mode.

Historia
In 2012, Ali Smith delivered the Weidenfeld lectures on European comparative literature at St. Anne’s College, Oxford. Those lectures, presented here, took the shape of discursive stories that refused to be tied down to either fiction or the essay form. Thus, Artful is narrated by a character who is haunted - literally - by a former lover, the writer of a series of lectures about art and literature. A hypnotic dialogue unfolds between storytelling and a meditation on art that encompasses love, grief, memory, and revitalization.

Welcome to Jeremy's farm. It's an idyllic spot, offering picturesque views across the Cotswolds, bustling hedgerows, woodlands and natural springs. Jeremy always liked the idea being a farmer. But, while he was barrelling around the world having more fun with cars than was entirely reasonable, it seemed obvious that the actual, you know, farming was much better left to someone else. Then one day he decided he would do the farming himself. After all, how hard could it be?

Historia
Being given yet another pointless 'man manual' that told him 50 ways to tie a bow tie in under 30 seconds made James May certain there was a need for another kind of book. This book, in fact. He reckons there are nine vital things that a chap should be able to do.

Historia
Welcome to Jeremy's farm. It's an idyllic spot, offering picturesque views across the Cotswolds, bustling hedgerows, woodlands and natural springs. Jeremy always liked the idea being a farmer. But, while he was barrelling around the world having more fun with cars than was entirely reasonable, it seemed obvious that the actual, you know, farming was much better left to someone else. Then one day he decided he would do the farming himself. After all, how hard could it be?

Historia
Richard Hammond describes his childhood and adolescence and the emergence of the adrenalin junkie, the first ridiculous stunts on his tricycle, and an increasing and near obsessive attraction to speed and the smell of petrol. He finds an attractive girl, Mindy, who shares his interests and helps him organise his high-speed life.

Short (But Worthy Of Many More Listens!)
This is the quintessential James May experience! With his calming, almost Bob Ross style of narration, I can relive the many hours I spent with my grandfather out in his shed, fixing some toy I had broken. I can still smell it so many years later.

James May does it again!
I've actually listened to this three times already - not very often do I have encores so soon after my first 'read'. For someone who's never been a professional actor or narrator, James May successfully pulls off whatever I've seen (or heard) him do, whether it's test driving a £500,000 supercar or explaining how a U2 pilot's pressure suit works. I know this may sound more like hero worship than a review, but James really does have the gift of not only conveying information well, but also in a way that helps you retain what he's told you. James is like that cool teacher you had in school who was passionate about the subject matter being taught.
James' books are some of my favourite things [ignore Sound of Music reference]. He writes (and narrates) as if you and he are chatting away over a couple of pints down at his local pub. He talks TO you, as opposed to just reading out loud. And there's no question James enjoys what he does. I find it amazing that he can make the act of reassembling a record player something you'd want to hear more about. Who knew that it would be so 'riveting'! (Okay, I'll put myself in Bad Pun Corner for that one.)
If you enjoy James' ouvre of car antics, documentaries and Open University programs, you'll love this one. It's complimentary to a tv series he did of the same name, which was just as entertaining and delightful. If this book transports you to his local, the tv program will transport you to his shed.
So, the sooner you buy this audiobook, the sooner you will be debating that age-old question: is it a screw or a bolt...

So much more than just reassembling parts...
I genuinely have no idea why i bought this book other than the positive reviews it had. I cant place why i enjoyed it so much either, but i laughed and enjoyed it's quirkiness throughout then it ended in just a short few hours feeling ive gained some sort of insight into the past and furure and all i can say is" when is the next book coming out?" If you like to tinker or just know odd ball facts this book will be great.

Excellent performance and writing by James May
Great book concerning reassembly and assembly. I enjoyed learning the background behind some objects that I've seen but never thought about - I will treat my tools better after this.

The perfect supplement to the Reassembler show.
What more can I say. If you love the BBC show and James May's presentation style as I do. You'd be mesmerized by this audiobook.

James May Ramblings
I like James May, so if you, like me, will listen to whatever James has to say, you’ll enjoy this. But to first timers, this is a bit odd.
