The backdrop of a former monastery adds to the eerie atmosphere, highlighting themes of power, oppression, and the human condition in a secluded, authoritarian environment.

From the humble garden lawnmower to the ear-splitting electric guitar, James May returns with a typically wacky account of what makes these great machines work, one piece at a time. As well as learning the history of the objects, we get a history of the component parts. James explains what they are, how they came about and what they do.

From the stars of Amazon Prime's THE GRAND TOUR, THE GRAND TOUR GUIDE TO THE WORLD is part travel companion, part factually dubious encyclopedia and part scrapbook of a travelling circus, all told through the juvenile, egotistical yet undeniably amusing voices of the three former stars of TOP GEAR.

Man Lab is James May's hilarious mission to save modern man.

Being given yet another pointless 'man manual' that told him fifty ways to tie a bow tie in under 30 seconds made James May, co-presenter of The Grand Tour, certain there was a need for another kind of book. This book, in fact. He reckons there are nine vital things that a chap should be able to do. Not stuff you can download from the internet, but really important things. You never know when you might need to land an A330 Airbus, or deliver twins. And there may well be a moment when being able to play a bit of classical music on the piano is absolutely crucial to your success with women. So read, learn and be prepared - you'll wonder how you ever lived without it.

A hilarious book of musings and rants from The Grand Tour's James May.
