As traditional locomotive haulage declined in the UK and many enthusiasts' favourite classes were withdrawn or taken off passenger work, British Rail fans began to broaden their horizons in the 1980s and look at the railway networks of other countries. For many, their first ports of call were the nearer continental European countries, with Germany proving particularly popular as it still featured locomotive haulage over much of its network, even on the smaller branch lines. Ireland also proved popular as their services were almost exclusively loco-hauled. As more enthusiasts traveled abroad and information and number lists became more available, foreign rail holidays became ever more popular, with worldwide favorites including the USA, with its long history of diesel traction and iconic locomotives, and India, with its extensive system and thousands of locomotives. As locomotive haulage declines in the rest of the world, British 'bashers' are becoming ever more adventurous with most countries, even North Korea, regularly featuring organised visits for enthusiasts. Today, British enthusiasts are found participating in their hobby all over the world and this book, featuring over 160 colour photographs, summarises some of the more popular destinations and locomotives that they travel abroad for. 160 colour illustrations

Die Nuklearkatastrophe in Fukushima fuhrte zu einem Wendepunkt in der deutschen Energiepolitik. Mit einem parteiubergreifenden politischen Konsens und mit breiter Zustimmung in der deutschen Bevoelkerung beschloss die Bundesregierung kurze Zeit danach die Beschleunigung des Atomausstiegs und damit die Umgestaltung der deutschen Energieversorgung gestutzt auf Erneuerbare Energien. Dieser Umbau wird seither mit dem Begriff der "Energiewende" assoziiert. Doch der Zubau von Erneuerbaren Energien fuhrt auch zu einem wachsenden Ausbaubedarf im UEbertragungsnetz, da der in den Norddeutschen Windparks produzierte Strom durch das UEbertragungsnetz in die sudlichen Lastzentren abtransportiert werden muss. Auch Polen steht gegenwartig vor einem grundlegenden Strukturumbruch in der Elektrizitatsversorgung. Denn Polen setzt kunftig auf eine Energieversorgung aus Kernenergie. Dazu plant Polen den Bau von zwei Kernkraftwerken, deren Errichtung bis 2035 abgeschlossen sein soll. Obwohl Polen damit einen anderen Weg als Deutschland eingeschlagen hat, ist die polnische Ausgangslage im Bereich des UEbertragungsnetzes auch ohne die beiden Kernkraftwerke bereits heute mit der deutschen vergleichbar. Denn auch das polnische UEbertragungsnetz muss dringend ausgebaut werden, da es veraltet ist. Gegenstand der vorliegenden Darstellung ist eine rechtsvergleichende Untersuchung der Frage, welche der nationalen Vorschriften zum UEbertragungsnetzausbau fur eine schnellere Umsetzung einer (potentiellen) Energiewende in beiden Landern den Vorzug verdienen.

Bei einer moeglichen Umstellung der Fertigungstechnologie auf "Additive Manufacturing", im Allgemeinen oft als 3D-Druck bezeichnet, mussen auch logistische Strukturen hinterfragt werden. Bisherige Untersuchungen dazu beschranken sich meist auf eine qualitative Analyse. Auf Basis eines Standortplanungsproblems aus dem "Operations Research" entwickelt und untersucht der Autor einen neuartigen Ansatz zur Quantifizierung der Auswirkungen von AM auf zweistufige Supply-Chain-Strukturen. Hierfur werden detailliert logistische Implikationen von AM diskutiert und in ein modifiziertes "Two-Stage Capacitated Facility Location Problem" uberfuhrt. Anhand von 1.225 Instanzen werden optimale Netzwerkstrukturen fur etablierte und additive Fertigungsverfahren bestimmt und mittels sechs logistischer Kennzahlen verglichen.

Risiken koennen nicht komplett vermieden werden. Aufgrund der schnellen Veranderungen im Wirtschaftsumfeld und der zunehmenden Vernetzung von Unternehmen in Supply Chains nimmt das Risikopotential fur Unternehmen vielmehr noch zu. Indem Unternehmen jedoch die richtigen Massnahmen parat haben, koennen sie schnell und effektiv auf Risikosituationen reagieren. Daher hat die Autorin ein interaktives Instrument zur Entscheidungsunterstutzung in Risikosituationen entwickelt. Dieses zielt auf die Bewaltigung von Risikoauswirkungen in Logistikknoten. Im Vordergrund stehen die den Warenfluss betreffenden Prozesse. UEber Simulationen werden Prozesskennzahlen ermittelt und bewertet. Basierend auf den Ergebnissen sind Handlungsempfehlungen formuliert, die uber das Instrument zur Verfugung stehen.

R921 Discovery Miles 9 210 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

Die Autorin beschreibt die Tradition und Geschichte des chinesischen Fussebindens und versucht, diese Sitte mittels anthropologischer Ansatze im gesellschaftlichen Kontext des kaiserlichen China zu erklaren. Sie versteht die gebundenen Fusse als einen klassischen Initiationsritus, vergleichbar mit der Beschneidung der Madchen in Afrika. Obwohl die Lilienfusse als eine spezifisch chinesische Kulturauspragung gelten, sind sie nicht allein als chinesische Besonderheit, sondern vielmehr als Ausdruck eines anthropologisch konstanten Strebens nach UEbergangsriten und gesellschaftlicher Strukturierung zu verstehen. Die Autorin markiert die Basis des Ritus im konfuzianischen System als Statussymbol. So wurde er von den Frauen akzeptiert und mit seiner Hilfe konnte den Madchen ihre Rolle in der Gesellschaft zugewiesen werden.

Grand Central is an innovative and pioneering railway open-access operator with a relatively short, but varied history. Beginning operations in 2007, Grand Central runs its routes, Sunderland and Bradford Interchange to London King's Cross, along the East Coast Main Line. Initially running High Speed Trains (HSTs), Class 180s joined the fleet in 2009. These continued to be the class in use after the HSTs were discontinued on the routes. With over 200 images, this book illustrates the wonderful landscapes of Grand Central's routes, the types of trains operated, including the iconic HSTs, and some rare behind-the-scenes locations not often seen by the public. It covers from the days of the early crew-training trains operated by heritage traction to the present day, including the foray into Blackpool, and looks at how the company's innovation and experience is shaping its future and the part it plays within the current railway landscape.

Britain has been responsible for some of the greatest and most varied sports cars ever built - the Blower' Bentleys of the 1920s, diminutive MGs of the 1930s, glamorous Jaguar E-types and Aston Martin DB5s of the 1960s, and beyond that the jaw-dropping Lotuses and McLarens of more recent times. This book charts the rich history of the UK's most magnificent high-performance machines, from their primitive, pioneering days through today's technologically advanced modern sports cars. Taking in some of the most admired and sought after cars ever created, it aims to show how, over nearly 140 years, these exciting, and sometimes extraordinary, vehicles developed. The author explores how speeds have risen, handling has been enhanced, styles have evolved and sophistication has increased. Illustrated with over 180 pictures, this fascinating story of the ups and downs of the world's love affair with Britain's sports cars is almost as dramatic and dynamic as the machines themselves.

In the late 1990s and early 2000s, most of the current locomotives in use on the national network were becoming very tired and evermore unreliable. It was during this time that EWS took over the large bulk of freight operations in the UK, and they quickly realised that major changes were needed. In 1996, they ordered a whole fleet of 250 Class 66 locos, which followed on from the same basic design as the earlier Class 59, privately owned, locos used for the Mendip aggregates traffic. The Class 66 was intended for more general use, rather than being used for just one specific purpose though. They have now been in service for over 20 years and have proved very reliable and capable locos. This volume covers the Class 66/0s from their early days up to the present at various locations around the UK.

Class 67s (Paperback): Mark Pike Class 67s (Paperback)

In the late 1990s, English, Welsh & Scottish Railway (EWS) ordered a large fleet of 250 Class 66 locomotives to replace a variety of freight locomotive types that had been in service with British Rail for many years. However, EWS also required something with a bit more performance, as well as electric train supply, for hauling charter and mail trains, which were still quite common at that time. A partnership with Royal Mail resulted in the Class 67s moving post around the country. When Royal Mail ended that arrangement in 2004, the Class 67s were pushed into other areas of work, including light freight and occasional passenger services, as well as continuing with charters. Although the design of the Class 67s has not been to everyone's taste, they do at least add a bit of variety to the modern scene. During the 20 years that they have been in service, they have been very reliable with only occasional failures. Containing 220 images, this book illustrates all 30 locos in the class during their first two decades in service.

From the intricate china clay operations in Cornwall to the major limestone quarries of the Mendips, rail freight has maintained a vibrant presence across the counties of South West England. However, the changes in traffic patterns and day-to-day operations have been substantial. In the early 1980s, china clay was still carried in elderly wooden-bodied wagons from about a dozen loading points, with much shunting and short-distance trip working. Gradually, the operation has been modernized and streamlined, although even the latest generation of rolling stock is now over 30 years old. The Mendip quarries have a different story to tell, as here the railway has fully exploited its natural strength by moving ever-greater quantities of stone to terminals across southern England. Meanwhile, many small-scale freight flows have disappeared as the railway has moved to full trainload operation. Illustrated with over 160 carefully chosen photographs, many of which are previously unpublished, this volume looks at the changing face of rail freight in South West England. It details the changes in traction, rolling stock and railway infrastructure over four decades.

The changes to rail freight in Wales and the Borders since the 1980s have been dramatic in many ways and have often been a knock-on effect of huge transformations in the industries that the railway serves, most notably, the coal-mining sector. These have led to a railway with a slimmed-down infrastructure and renewed traction and rolling-stock fleets.Until the 1980s, coal was still the lifeblood of many railway lines in South Wales. However, one by one, the pits closed, leaving just a handful of surface operations still active in 2020. The sight and sound of a Class 37 winding its way up a steep-sided valley is now a distant memory. Industrial decline has affected other traffics too, with the loss of the heavy iron ore trains to Llanwern and many other flows. However, Welsh rail freight is far from dead. Class 60-hauled oil and steel trains still ply the South Wales main line, and there have even been small revivals such as cement from Penyffordd.Illustrated with over 150 stunning photographs, many of which are previously unpublished, this volume looks at the changing face of rail freight in Wales and the Borders, detailing the changes in traction, rolling stock and railway infrastructure over four decades. 160 illustrations
