Avg Cusomer Rating: 5 Reviews: Summary: A must read!!! Find this book! If you can't find it then borrow it or find a copy! This book is awesome! Yes I am an Ayrton Senna fan. I bought my original copy wich is still in pristine shape for 36 Canadian dollars in 1996. I would not sell it for 500 $ American dollars!!! This an awesome book of the techniques of motor racing, technical and sportlike! And then, it goes a lot further than that... It gives us stunning Grand prix pictures of Senna and F1 in general. For the pics alone it is easily worth it. It also gives a great a fantastic scholarly and "I do it this way" how to of motor racing. But the best parts are how Ayrton prepares for not only a race, but a season, a championship, and life in general. Senna was a truely analytical, psychoanalytic, and spiritious person. His wrtings remind me of FReud and JUng. Yes, he is that deep and well thought out! He is special, intellectual and combative. And charismatic. Read the last chapter on preparation and psychology and you will be moved. I wish he would have survived, not to race, but to enlighten us. He was, well special. Daniel H�bert Summary: More than just a how to race book! Yes, it is an invaluable book on the "Principles of Race Driving." It will help all drivers (not just racing drivers) become better drivers. It does this using a clear and fascinating text with copious diagrams. It is, however, also a look at the mind of one of the greatest racing drivers of all time, witnessed through his thoughts as he writes. Not just for drivers, but for racing fans everywhere and not just Formula 1 but all types of fans. A classic book that does not come along every day from a classic driver that also does not come along every day. I've read mine many times and would recommend it to all race fans. Summary: Read closely to get the best of it! "I want to drive faster, but I don't know how!" It's the eternal question. If you think this book is a manual to do this: you're wright. If you think it will sum up wich button in your car to push, or wich lever to pull to become a world champion, it won't. Dissapointed? Don't be. What this book will teach you is much more valuable. It deals with everything you need to know to be faster than anyone, and gives you the rules of the game. Throughout the book Ayrton Senna states his view on all subjects wich is valuable. It covers what the title claims: "The principles of race driving",steering, braking, corners, overtaking, the lot. All this makes this book a must for everyone serious about motorracing. And something to read, read again, and again, and again. Summary: |

Avg Cusomer Rating: 5 Reviews: Summary: Through My Eye "Through My Eye" is an insightful masterpiece that allows the observer to get a rare glimpse inside the life of the racing phenom that was Ayrton Senna. Paul-Henri Cahier has done an outstanding job capturing the essence, the emotion, and the passion of Ayrton Senna's life during his Formula One career. Stunning photographs, brilliant writing. Beautiful, high quality book. For those who appreciate fine photography, are motorsports fans, or want to add to their Senna collection, this is a definite must have. Summary: A must for those who appreciate Senna Paul Henri Cahier's new book "Through My Eye" is a must have for all who admired Ayrton Senna and his amazing career in F-1. The pages are filled with probably the most expressive portraits of Ayrton Senna that have ever been taken. There are also photographs of some of the most important racing moments in Ayrton's career . Recognized as Formula One's premeir photo artist , Paul Henri does not let us down. The book construction is of the highest quality and will be right at home in any art collection. Summary: THROUGH MY EYE by Paul-Henri Cahier "Any creative endeavor is a raid on the inarticulate" - T. S. Elliott Some things are truly beyond words. Despite the volumes of books attempting to describe the magic that made the late great Ayrton Senna da Silva the legend he was -- we have been left wanting . . . until now. No other photographer today carries the mantle of resident artist in the rarified airs of the world that is Formula One better than Paul-Henri Cahier. As a second generation F1 photographer PHC began his brushes with greatness early on as a wee boy playing ping-pong with house guests like like the legendary Fangio and other grand prix luminaries who were part of his famous father Bernard Cahier's menagerie d' bon amis. The photographic images of Paul-Henri Cahier are an inexhaustible invitation to discovery of things that are simply not possible to ascribe to the written word alone. With the prodigious gift that is Cahier's visual poem for our fallen hero we have returned to the place of joy and remembrance our hearts have longed for since the world changed forever on the black weekend of May 1994. This book takes us beyond the mere surface of the image and into the realm of mystique. Like Senna before him Cahier is transcendent in his art form where both talents on display are a tantalizing thing of beauty to behold. Any serious collection of motor sport is incomplete without this definitive aesthetic masterwork. - Tony Di Zinno December 2004 Summary: |

Avg Cusomer Rating: 3 Reviews: Summary: A simpathic biography of a great champion Well, what can I say about "Ayrton Senna : The Hard Edge of Genius"? The book itself is not atractive, but is nice. Has very good pictures about the carrer of Ayrton Senna and good appointments of the author. But, in the really, it is just a big almanac. Hilton can't express the spirit of Senna. Just explains some moments of important races, like Suzuka-88. But, reading the book, we don't know that Senna 'saw God at the last curve' - his own words. So, if you are a fan of Senna, buy the book to remember the big champ. Summary: A critical, sympathetic portrait of a complicated champion With Chris Hilton's characteristic meld of insight and panache, "The Hard Edge of Genius" captures the many aspects of a man born with supreme gifts to bend a car to his will and deftly explores the many conflicting emotions Senna stirred in himself and the millions who followed his extraordinary F1 career. Updated to cover the fateful end at Tamburello, Hilton's work spares neither criticism nor compliment, achieving a balance of the two that mirror's Senna's uncanny ability to hold his machine on the edge of adhesion. Senna himself called it "a book you can rely on." Rare praise from a man who relied on little outside of his own skills. Summary: Wonderful book about the greatest driver of modern F-1! Mr. Hilton wrote an extraordinary book, going deep inside Senna's personality and exploits, his sheer determination and velocity, whitout being an one-sided writer that only sees Senna's qualitites. Great job about a career interrupted prematurely! Summary: |

Avg Cusomer Rating: 5 Reviews: Summary: The greatest driver in modern F1 Theres no doubt that the late Ayrton Senna was the greatest F1 racer of all time, to be matched only by Jim Clark, Fangio, Stewart, and to a lesser extent Schumacher. Mr Hilton, does an excellent job in covering one of the worlds greatest athletes from his early childhood days, karting to his final race and tragic end at Imola 1 May 1994. The book has many nice photos of Senna in action. This is a must have for any racing fan. This is a tribute to Brazils national hero and king of modern era of Formula One. Long live Ayrton Senna..Sempre Senna! Summary: From a former Senna's school colleague I have studied at the Colegio Rio Branco, during the same time as Ayrton's, and all of us who met him at that time remember him as being a very quiet and nice guy, already a big name in kart racing in Brazil. He indeed was an introspective young man, but was not a bad student at all. The initial chapters of this very good book made me remember our old times at high school, and the author did a very good job in describing the psychological profile of the young genious Senna. This book also recounts nice anecdotes about his life after he'd moved to England, all the way up to becoming the greatest grand prix driver ever. From this book we all can see that the man was not only a great F1 driver, but also an exceptional human being, who left us all too early. A very enjoyable reading. Summary: Awsome book Great book with lots of information that every Senna fan will like. Many good quality photos and interesting well developed story. It covers all personal performance of the driver including comments from people that he knew, he raced agains ant ppl he worked with. A must have for every single Ayrton Senna fan. I'm really happy that I bought it. Summary: |
