The archetypal Routemaster is arguably the most recognised vehicle
in the world, as witnessed at the recent Beijing Olympic handover
ceremony. Buses have been operating on London's streets since 1829,
originally with horse-drawn omnibuses, and the London Omnibus
Company was founded in 1855 to regulate the various services. The
first motorised buses made an appearance in 1902 with the LGOC
beginning to manufacture the buses itself two years later. For six
decades London went its own way with specially designed buses. More
recent innovations such as the 'bendy' bus have not been popular,
but today practicality of pushchair and wheelchair access has
consigned the Routemaster to a nostalgic, but much-loved, position.
With full-colour photographs, this book comprehensively tells the
story behind London's famous red buses.

performing everything from basic maintenance and troubleshooting to
a complete overhaul of the machine, in this case the Honda
CBR600RR, model years 2007 through 2012. Do-it-yourselfers will
find this service and repair manual more comprehensive than the
factory manual, making it an indispensable part of their tool box.

troubleshooting; lubrication and routine maintenance; engine top
end; engine lower end; primary drive, clutch and external shift
mechanism; transmission and internal shift mechanism; engine
management system; electrical system; wheels, tires and drivebelt;

'Speckled with anecdotes, insights and surprises. It is great fun -
and utterly timely' Sunday Times 'Standage writes with a masterly
clarity' New York Times 'The product of deep research, great
intelligence and burnished prose . . . It is rare that I encounter
a non-fiction author whose prose is so elegant that it is worth
reading for itself. Standage is a writer of this class' Wall Street
Journal Beginning around 3,500 BC with the wheel, and moving
through the eras of horsepower, trains and bicycles, Tom Standage
puts the rise of the car - and the future of urban transport - into
a broader historical context. Our society has been shaped by the
car in innumerable ways, many of which are so familiar that we no
longer notice them. Why does red mean stop and green mean go? Why
do some countries drive on the left, and some on the right? How did
cars, introduced only a little over a century ago, change the way
the world was administered, laid out and policed, along with
experiences like eating and shopping? And what might travel in a
post-car world look like? As social transformations from
ride-sharing to the global pandemic force us to critically
re-examine our relationship with personal transportation, A Brief
History of Motion is an essential contribution to our understanding
of how the modern world came to be.
Midland Red Style is the first book in a new series looking at
design in all its aspects in some of Britain's best loved bus
companies. The reader is able to follow the visual developments in
vehicle, infrastructure and printed publicity design up to the
point the company was taken over by the National Bus Company. Over
300 colour and black and white illustrations are included.
Long considered the definitive book on DKW (Dampf-Kraft-Wagen),
this classic book is now available in a complete English language
edition. Featuring over 640 color and black and white images, this
book covers all of the automobiles and motorcycles manufactured by
the legendary DKW from its founding in the early twentieth century
to its closing in the 1960s. Described in detail are the technical
developments of the famed two-stroke engine, thanks to which DKW
earned its excellent worldwide reputation. Prior to World War II,
DKW was the world s largest producer of motorcycles with great
success in both the racing and civilian markets. Clearly presented
is the complex company history, including its 1932 merger with
Audi, Horch and Wanderer to form the Auto union, and later takeover
by Daimler-Benz then Volkswagen. Many of the superb quality images
come from factory archives and include manufacturing views, as well
as line schemes and plans. Original German edition publisher Frank
Ronicke, who knew the author Siegfried Rauch (1906-1997) personally
and was able to inherit his archive, has revised and supplemented
the original text for this new edition and added a series of color
photos to this classic of DKW literature."

It has long been accepted that the social and cultural meanings of
the car far exceed the practical need for mobility. This book marks
the first attempt to contribute to road safety, considering, in
depth, these meanings and the cultures of driving that are shaped
by them. In the Company of Cars examines the perspectives that
young people have on cars, and explores the broader social and
cultural meanings of the car, the potential it is supposed to
fulfil, and the anticipated benefits it offers to young drivers.
From focus-group research conducted in Australia, the book takes up
the views of young people on a range of topics, from media to car
use to gender performance. The author looks at the ways in which
driving has been defined by articulations of the car that emphasize
valued features of the car-driver, such as gender, youthfulness,
status, age, power, raciness, sexiness, ruggedness and
competitiveness. The book takes a global perspective on mobility,
considering the impact of cars and road safety policy on quality of
life, and the value and significance of other modes of travel, in a
range of countries.
