PETER COLLINS: MY AUTOBIOGRAPHY

PETER COLLINS: MY AUTOBIOGRAPHY

FOOTBALL WORLD
2022
nidottu
From Belle Vue to Brisbane, Crewe to California, in a glittering 18-year career he captivated crowds wherever he rode with his spectacular dashes from the back that set hearts and pulses racing and won him every honour the oval shale sport has to offer. His 10 FIM gold medals include five World Team Cup and four World Pairs victories – more than any other English rider has ever achieved. A record 154 international England or Great Britain caps will almost certainly never be emulated. Much revered PC’s greatest individual triumph came in Slaski Stadium, Katowice, Poland on September 5, 1976. Aged 22, the former farmer’s boy from the Manchester suburb of Partington in Cheshire, swept to World Championship glory in typical all-action style that thrilled the 120,000-plus crowd and millions more watching on TV. It was the culmination of a dream inspired by his boyhood hero Peter Craven. During the 1970s and early 80s, Peter became a national hero who adorned the back pages of the UK tabloids, a true sporting superstar whose track exploits and hectic globetrotting lifestyle earned him bigger pay days than those of contemporary international footballers. In his long-awaited autobiography, Collins – the head of speedway’s most famous racing dynasty – shines a very insightful light on a magical period when his daring deeds were the embodiment of his sport’s last golden age. As well as taking readers on a long and eventful journey through his illustrious grasstrack, speedway and longtrack racing career spanning from 1970 until 1987, Peter also reveals the inside stories on major controversies – the ‘disgraceful’ tracks and freak injuries that probably cost him more major titles, possible bike sabotage, a heated row with an England team-mate, fun and fisticuffs on Down Under tours with the British Lions, rejecting a tempting offer to leave his beloved Belle Vue, and how his brief stint as the Aces’ promoter ended acrimoniously after he’d led the fight to save the world famous Manchester club from possible extinction.

Reading Religion in Text and Context

Reading Religion in Text and Context

Peter Collins

Ashgate Publishing Limited
2006
sidottu
To what extent is religion inherently textual? What might the term 'textual' mean in relation to religious faith and practice? These are the two key questions addressed by the eleven thought-provoking essays collected in this volume. Accounts of the content and structure of sacred texts are commonplace. The rather more adventurous aim of this book is to disclose (within the context of religion) the various ways in which meaning can be read of more or less obviously sacred writing and from discourses such as the body, the built and natural environment, drama and ritual.

Changing Ideals in Modern Architecture, 1750-1950

Changing Ideals in Modern Architecture, 1750-1950

Peter Collins

McGill-Queen's University Press
1998
sidottu
Explains what revivalism, rationalism, eclecticism, and functionalism meant to those who practiced them, explores the influence of the other arts and sciences on architectual theory, and analyzes notions that are commonly used in discussions about modern architecture. Infused with a deep sympathy for the 19th century, this text suggests that many 19th century ideas can be of real value to practising architects, particularly now that technology has made it possible to put them into effect properly. This second edition should be of interest not only to those who specialize in architecture and have read the standard work of Hitchcock, Giedion, Pevsner, and Joedicke - but also to those with a general interest in modern history and the philosophy of art.

The Royal Society and the Promotion of Science since 1960

The Royal Society and the Promotion of Science since 1960

Peter Collins

Cambridge University Press
2015
sidottu
The Royal Society is one of the world's oldest and most prestigious scientific bodies, but what has it done in recent decades? Increasingly marginalised by postwar developments and the reforms of civil science in the 1960s, the Society was at risk of resting on its laurels. Instead, it found ways of exploiting its unique networks of scientific talent to promote science. Creating opportunities for outstanding individuals to establish and advance research careers, influencing policymaking at national and international levels, and engaging with the public outside the world of professional science, the Society gave fresh expression to the values that had shaped its long history. Through unparalleled access to the Society's modern archives and other archival sources, interviews with key individuals and extensive inside knowledge, Peter Collins shows how the Society addressed the challenges posed by the astounding growth of science and by escalating interactions between science and daily life.

Cleft and Pseudo-Cleft Constructions in English

Peter Collins

Routledge
2015
sidottu
First published in 1991, this book examines the communicative properties of ‘cleft’ and ‘pseudo-cleft’ constructions in contemporary English. The book argues that these properties cannot be ignored in any attempt to provide an adequate grammatical description of the constructions. Furthermore, they provide a source of explanations for the patterns of stylistic variation displayed by clefts and pseudo-clefts. The book reports findings from a corpus-based study of clefts and pseudo-clefts in modern British English.

Rolls-Royce and the Pursuit of Speed

Rolls-Royce and the Pursuit of Speed

Peter Collins

AMBERLEY PUBLISHING
2026
nidottu
Ever since the Honourable Charles Rolls and Henry Royce (later Sir Henry) came together at their famous meeting at the Midland Hotel in Manchester, UK in 1904 the name Rolls-Royce has been synonymous with striving to be the best. This story will tell the story of that pursuit of being fast and reliable through some of the many of speed records that Rolls-Royce has achieved over more than 110 years. From those early pre-First World War car races where Rolls-Royce motor cars were pushed to the limit to Rolls-Royce’s later involvement with aviation, where speeds were pushed higher and higher with events such as the Schneider trophy races. The story ends with Rolls-Royce looking beyond the use of oil to the new electric-powered future with electric aeroplane speed record. The innovation needed to achieve these records will be explored along with some of those involved telling their own story of their involvement.
