The low-floor bus was first introduced to the streets of London in 1994 with a fleet of sixty single-decks entering services with London Buses Limited, passing quickly to the new privatised operators. These vehicles were not that popular, and no further examples arrived into London until 1996 in the form of the Dennis Dart SLF. It was almost another two years before the first low-floor double-deckers entered service in the capital. The early 2000s saw low-floor buses flood the capital, mainly of the DAF and Dennis variety, with a smaller number of Volvos entering service. The second generation of low-floor vehicles were introduced to the capital in 2006 in the form of the Enviro range produced by Alexander Dennis Limited. The Enviro 200 and 400 models were taken into stock by many London operators, but some chose other models. With 180 wonderful photographs, David Beddall has produced a fascinating tribute to this part of London's bus history.

Slaughtered along our highways and byways, roadkill may be observed by American motorists regularly, but aren't likely to be given much thought. Research scientists, animal rights activists, roadkill artists, writers, ethicists and lyricists, however, are increasingly sounding the alarm about its prevalence, reporting that we are killing the very animals we love, and are literally driving many of them to the brink of extinction. Detailing the death and destruction of our favorite mammals, reptiles, amphibians, and insect pollinators, this study examines the ways in which we are jeopardizing our own futures as our vehicles destroy wildlife large, small, and essential. Beginning in the era of the Model T, university biologists counted the common carnage of the time-cottontails, woodchucks, and squirrels, mostly-and that record-keeping continues today. But beyond reporting the bleak statistics, zoologists and their citizen scientist friends are both rerouting trails and migratory paths of animals and are advocating for man's best friends in our cat and dog companions. Examining these activities, this work illuminates both our successes and failures in keeping animals out of harm's way and what those efforts reflect about ourselves and our capacity to care enough to alter the road ahead.

With a wealth of rare and previously unseen images, Southampton City Transport Buses illustrates the development of mainly diesel-powered buses operated by Southampton City Transport and its successors since the early years of the twentieth century until recent times. As well as covering the vehicle types used, the photographs included here attempt to show as much background around the buses as possible to give a fuller portrait of this interesting city and its history. Written by a long-time member of the Southampton & District Transport Heritage Trust and making use of the group's superb archive, the images presented here give the reader a wonderfully evocative insight into the history of transport in the city.
