Half-leather binding. Telephone Talk was the glossy bimonthly publication of the British Columbia Telephone Company. It was written by employees for employees to present information of interest to those engaged in the plant, traffic, commercial, operating, accounting and other departments of the service. Each issue is replete with black and white photos and information on topics such as: company, industry and technological news, traffic levels, expansion plans, personnel announcements, publicity and social events, deaths, weddings, lists of exchanges, and more.

ill., ril. Nel 2020 il Campionato Italiano festeggia il suo sessantesimo anno di età. La prima edizione si disputò infatti nel 1961, iniziando dalla Coppa Riviera di Ponente. C'è voluto qualche anno perché la specialità trovasse una sua dimensione affrancandosi da formule troppo legate alla regolarità o più velocistiche. All'inizio nascono le prime due "scuole": quella ligure, rappresentata da Gigi Taramazzo, da Leo Cella e Franco Patria, e quella veneta con il primo "super campione", Arnaldo Cavallari, "scopritore" di Sandro Munari, che presto, anche grazie all'impegno di Lancia e Fiat, renderà popolare il rally "made in Italy" nel mondo. In questo scenario, negli anni, si susseguono nomi del calibro di Miki Biasion, Dario Cerrato sino a Paolo Andreucci. Il volume ripercorre questa lunga storia dalle origini sino ad oggi con una sezione introduttiva dedicata ai "primordi", dal 1961 al 1970. Specifici capitoli trattano gli "anni d'oro" - dal 1970 al 1999 - per poi arrivare ad un lungo capitolo finale che si spinge sino ai nostri giorni. L'opera è completata dalle classifiche di tutti i rally, riportando per ognuno gli equipaggi che sono finiti sul podio. Un volume per gli appassionati e per i neofiti ma anche un indispensabile strumento per gli addetti ai lavori.

ill., ril. Nel 1979 Thierry Sabine inventò la corsa più difficile, massacrante del mondo. Iniziò in sordina ma, in pochi anni, la Dakar si trasformò in un evento mondiale. Un intreccio di vittorie, di fatiche, di sudore, di dolore e tante lacrime. Tante le vittime, innumerevoli le polemiche. Beppe Donazzan, attraverso le storie dei personaggi più significativi della corsa che attraversava il Sahara, ne racconta il cammino. Da Thierry Sabine a Cyril Neveu, da Gaston Rahier a Franco Picco, dai trionfi di Edi Orioli al sacrificio di Fabrizio Meoni, da Auriol a Peterhansel. E poi le sfide della Porsche, Peugeot e Citroën, i tentativi di vip come Carolina di Monaco, lo straordinario successo di Jutta Kleschmidt, unica donna a dominare nella corsa impossibile, fino all'incubo degli attentati di Al Qaida e all'emigrazione in Sud America. L'epopea della Dakar africana in un libro di grandi emozioni.

ill., ril. Prisca Taruffi, campionessa italiana e vice campionessa europea rally, si racconta attraverso gli aspetti più avventurosi della sua vita sportiva. Figlia d'arte, Prisca, ha ereditato la passione per la velocità dal padre, l'ingegner Piero Taruffi, indimenticato pilota, progettista e recordman degli anni Trenta e Cinquanta. Una passione, quella per i motori, da sempre contrastata dai genitori. Quasi per caso un inesorabile destino legherà per tutta la vita l'autrice alla figura del padre. Questa è la storia di una donna pilota dal carattere indipendente e ribelle che sì è dovuta fare largo in un mondo prettamente maschile come quello dell'automobilismo. Una vita costellata di aneddoti, anche intimi, che vanno oltre i racconti legati alla professione: dalla promessa che il padre fece a Donna Isabella, madre dell'autrice, prima dell'ultima leggendaria Mille Miglia vinta nel 1957, al debutto automobilistico sul circuito di Vallelunga contro il volere del padre. E ancora, gli incidenti in gara - sia in circuito, sia nei rally -, gli imprevisti e le esperienze nel mondo dei Rally Raid africani (come il Rally dei Faraoni e il Rally delle Gazzelle, una gara di orienteering tutta al femminile). Non solo una biografia, ma un ampio sguardo alla professione di donna pilota, impreziosito dagli incontri con colleghe amiche e rivali del mondo delle corse. Preazione di Carlo Cavicchi. Introduzione di Antonella Clerici.
