Ein österreichischer Rennfahrer, der Formel 1-Geschichte schrieb. Immer ein rotes Kapperl auf dem Kopf und nie um eine schnelle Antwort verlegen: So haben die meisten Niki Lauda in Erinnerung. Herbert Völker, ehemaliger Herausgeber und Chefredakteur der "Autorevue", kannte den berühmten Rennfahrer auch abseits des Ruhms: Die beiden waren schon befreundet, bevor dem Champion der Sprung in die Formel 1 gelang. Aus dieser jahrzehntelangen Freundschaft ist ein großer Schatz an Erinnerungen hervorgegangen – an gemeinsame Ausfahrten, an lange Gespräche, an denkwürdige Momente.

Der Wirtschaftsjournalist David Groman wird beauftragt, einen Bildband zum 50. Jubiläum der Ecoline zu erstellen, bei der er einst angestellt war. Doch es läuft nicht rund. Seiner Kontaktperson wird plötzlich gekündigt, der neue Vorstand droht mit Massenentlassungen, Streiks legen den Betrieb lahm und einige Manager kommen unter ungeklärten Umständen zu Tode.

Launched in 1914, two years after the ill-fated voyage of her sister ship, RMS Titanic, the Britannic was intended to be superior to her tragic twin in every way. But war intervened and in 1915 she was requisitioned as a hospital ship. Just one year later, while on her way to collect troops wounded in the Balkans campaign, she fell victim to a mine laid by a German U-boat and tragically sank in the middle of the Aegean Sea. There her wreck lay, at a depth of 400 feet, until it was discovered fifty-nine years later by legendary explorer Jacques Cousteau. 

The Titanic. The Britannic. The Olympic. They are some of the most famous ships in history, but for the wrong reasons. The Olympic Class liners were conceived as the largest, grandest ships ever to set sail. Of the three ships built, the first only lost the record for being the largest because she was beaten by the second, and they were both beaten by the third. The class was meant to secure the White Star Line's reputation as the greatest shipping company on earth. Instead, with the loss of both the Titanic and the Britannic in their first year of service, it guaranteed White Star's infamy.

In Pink Cars and Pocketbooks, Jessica Brockmole shares the untold history of women's relationship with automobiles: a journey marked by struggle, empowerment, and the relentless pursuit of independence. This groundbreaking work explores the evolution of women's automotive participation and the cultural shifts that have redefined their roles as drivers, mechanics, and consumers.
