The Rossettis were one of the most remarkable and talented families in Victorian Britain. Of the two parents and three siblings, Dante Gabriel (1828–82) and Christina (1830–94) stood out, but throughout their lives they remained a tightly-knit unit. William Michael (1829–1919), who published this two-volume work in 1895, was the family record keeper and in the memoir of his brother we have an unmatched account of the family dynamic. He was not always candid about his brother's affairs but his biography is unparalleled for its fresh directness. Unlike all subsequent biographers, William wrote from the inside, and even if he was unable to tell the whole story, the intimate details of the day-to-day life of the great painter and poet have about them the ring of truth and authenticity. Volume 1 is given over to William's extensive and sympathetic memoir of his brother's life.

The outrageous inside story of Elon Musk and Tesla's bid to build the world's greatest car―from award-winning Wall Street Journal tech and auto reporter Tim HigginsElon Musk is among the most ambitious, controversial titans of Silicon Valley, but his most audacious vision is the one closest to the ground: the electric car. When Tesla was founded in the 2000s, electric cars were mere novelties. But where most onlookers saw only failure, a small band of Silicon Valley engineers and entrepreneurs saw potential. So they pitted themselves against the biggest, fiercest business rivals in the world, setting out to make a car that was quicker, sexier, smoother, and cleaner than the competition. To accomplish this, Tesla would undergo a truly hellish fifteen years, beset by rivals, pressured by investors, hobbled by whistleblowers, but buoyed by its loyal supporters. Musk himself would often prove to be Tesla's worst enemy―his antics more than once taking the company he had largely funded at th
