About
the book
It will come as no surprise
if you know Jeremy Clarkson
that he loves
all kinds of machines. But
you'd ask yourself
it's not just any old bucket of bolts,
cogs and bearings that puts that
takes his fancy. In fact, he's scoured the
length and and breadth of the land,
plunged into oceans and taken to the
skies in search of those rare machines
with that elusive certain something. And
along the way he's discovered: the
safest place to be in the event of
nuclear war; who would win if Superman,
James Bond and The Terminator had a
fight; the stupidest person he's ever
met; what an old Cornish institution
called Arthur has to do with 0898 chat
lines; and how Jean Claude Van Damme
might get eaten by a lion...In "I Know
You Got Soul", Jeremy Clarkson tells the
stories of the geniuses, innovators and
crackpots who put the ghost in the
machine. From Brunel's SS Great Britain
to the Spitfire and from the woeful -
but inspiring - Graf Zeppelin to Han
Solo's Millennium Falcon, they were
built by people who love them - and we
can't help but love them in return.

Jeremy
Clarkson finds the world a perplexing
place. So much so, in fact, that he
wrote a book about it. But despite the
appearance of the bestselling "The World
According To Clarkson", things don't
seem to have changed much. And so
Jeremy's having another go. In "And
Another Thing", our exasperated hero
discovers that: he inadvertently dropped
a bomb on North Carolina; we're all
going to explode at the age of 62;
Russians look bad in Speedos. But not as
bad as Brits; no one should have to
worry about being Bill Oddie's long lost
sister; cooking a Sunday Roast is one
thing.
Gravy is quite another; and, he should
probably be nicer about David Beckham.
But while these things play on his mind,
the world remains Jeremy's favourite
place to be. On the whole, it's
brilliant. It's just the idiots,
meddlers and do-gooders who spoil it for
the rest of us. Laugh-out-loud funny and
as straight-talking as ever, Clarkson
bursts their pointless little bubble,
while celebrating the special things
that we should hold dear.
