Condor Cycles – Past present Future

November 19, 2011 in Cycling, Graphic Design, Literature by maveco | No comments

From the Condor site:

Past Present Future goes behind the scenes through interviews, essays and photo stories with close friends, riders and the famous names that have ridden the bikes over Condor’s sixty-five year history. Condor partnered with the makers of The Ride Journal for the project, named Past Present Future, and features a mix of portraits and studio and lifestyle photography by a range of contributors. It talks of how Condor first started making single speeds for couriers in the early nineties, the inception of the Rapha Condor Sharp team, why the roots of Condor are within British racing, and why through the years steel has always remained in the range.

The Undercover Economist

The Undercover Economist

Order from Amazon.co.uk
Who makes most money from the demand for cappuccinos early in the morning at Waterloo Station? Why is it impossible to get a foot on the property ladder? How do the Mafia make money from laundries when street gangs pushing drugs don’t? Who really benefits from immigration? How can China, in just 50 years, go from the world’s worst famine to one of the greatest economic revolutions of all time, lifting a million people out of poverty a month? Looking at familiar situations in unfamiliar ways, THE UNDERCOVER ECONOMIST is a fresh explanation of the fundamental principles of the modern economy, illuminated by examples from the streets of London to the booming skyscrapers of Shanghai to the sleepy canals of Bruges. Leaving behind textbook jargon and equations, Tim Harford will reveal the games of signals and negotiations, contests of strength and battles of wit that drive not only the economy at large but the everyday choices we make.
