There has been a long felt need for a book which details the legal
aspects of the airport business. This book will discuss the nature
of the airport business and inquire into the constraints faced by
airports in obtaining their revenues. It will also discuss the
liability of an airport operator for injury to persons who use the
airport premises and liability for vehicular accidents landside or
airside including work accidents of airport employees or other
accidents caused by airport employees of the airport. The bulk of
the book will be dedicated to the legal aspects of issues such as
principles of lease financing of premises and equipment; employee
contracts; agency; general contractual and tortuous liability of
airports; negligent entrustment of property and equipment;
obligations of oversight of tenants in their implementation and
application of contractual terms, Risk Management; legal principles
pertaining to the oversight of airport safety and security;
competition; labour law; and the art of negotiation.
With energy consumption rising and with it our dependence on
crude oil from politically uncertain regions, and faced with the
threat to the environment from polluting emissions, it is becoming
ever more evident that fuels from renewable resources are an
increasingly attractive option to fossil fuels. Edinger and Kaul,
like a growing number of other experts, hold the mobility of
populations--transportation, in other words--responsposible for the
rise in the rate of greenhouse gas emissions, a condition that can
only get worse as less developed regions of the world emerge with
their own needs and demands for mobility. What to do? Edinger and
Kaul outline in sharp detail the shortcomings of current vehicular
technologies and dominant fossil fuels. They present a careful,
authoritative examination of innovative technologies that in their
opinion have the best chance of combating dangerous reliance on
conventional means of power, not only for transportation but other
purposes as well. And they focus on special forms of fuel cell
drive systems, with their high efficiencies and reduced
consumptions, and on other emerging renewable technologies and
their innovative, sustainable power sources--such as fuels from
biomass and renewable electricity, a particularly promising source
of energy for newly growing economies. Wide ranging in coverage,
forthright in style, the book is an important review of how things
are today, why they could get worse, but perhaps most importantly,
what we can do about it.
Why has "car society" proven so durable, even in the face of
mounting environmental and economic crises? In this follow-up to
his magisterial Atlantic Automobilism, Gijs Mom traces the global
spread of the automobile in the postwar era and investigates why
adopting more sustainable forms of mobility has proven so
difficult. Drawing on archival research as well as wide-ranging
forays into popular culture, Mom reveals here the roots of the
exuberance, excess, and danger that define modern automotive
culture.
An evocative exploration of the iconic Saab brand, with beautiful
photography and lively text that shows beyond all doubt why you
should want to own one. Saab is a byword for style, performance
quality and safety - the cars have a reputation for reliability and
solidity, along with classic Scandinavian design that have made
them the go-to car of creatives the world over. Although production
ceased in 2011, Saabs are still highly sought after by enthusiasts
and collectors. This fascinating book outlines all the classic Saab
models from 1949's pioneering Ursaab prototype to the last cars to
drive off the production line in the early 2010s, including their
world-beating rally cars of the 1960s and 70s and the best-selling
Saab 900, with glorious vintage photographs and insightful
explanation from Saab superfan Vaughan Grylls. The perfect gift for
the car nut in your life, whether they've owned a Saab or not, this
book sums up everything that's great about this truly classic
brand.
This album shows the progress in London Transport bus and coach
design from the vehicles being operated at the time the
organisation came into being up to the time its Country Buses were
transferred away. Perhaps surprisingly this is the first book to do
this in album form. The progress in designs pictured in the book is
punctuated by utility and non-standard types forced on the
organisation by the circumstances of war and post-war shortages and
by buses that have come to grief in accidents or flooding. Most of
the photographs have not been seen before in print.
Each 96 page, hard cover book in the series is 10 1/2" x 7 5/8" and
contains color and black and white photos, drawings, charts, and
catalog facsimiles. Each classic model is presented in its historic
and developmental aspects.

‘A journey that I don’t think could be made again today’. It
was this comment by Sir David Attenborough on the fiftieth
anniversary of the iconic First Overland expedition that became an
irresistible challenge for filmmaker and adventurer Alex Bescoby.
In 1955, Attenborough, then a young TV producer, was approached by
six recent university graduates determined to drive the entire
length of ‘Eurasia’, from London to Singapore. It was the
unclimbed Everest of motoring – many had tried, none had
succeeded. Sensing this time might be different, Attenborough gave
the expedition enough film reel to cover their attempt. The
19,000-mile journey completed by Tim Slessor and the team
captivated a nation emerging from postwar austerity. Tim’s book,
The First Overland, soon became the bible of the overlanding
religion. Inspired by the First Overland, Alex made contact with
now eighty-six-year-old Tim and together they planned an epic
recreation of the original trip, this time from Singapore to
London. Their goal was to complete the legendary journey started
more than sixty years ago in the original ‘Oxford’ Land Rover.
In awe of the unstoppable Tim, and haunted by his own
grandfather’s declining health, Alex and his team soon find
themselves battling rough roads, breakdowns and Oxford’s
constantly leaky roof to discover a world changed for the better
– and worse – since the first expedition.
