While this book gives you a "life in Mayberry" feeling at its
beginning, you must read on. It suddenly moves into more serious,
sorrowful and sometimes humorous events. The author is the main
character who takes you through the good times and the horrific.
The graphically described sequence of events of his experiences in
Vietnam, and the six major battles he takes part in, will have you
grabbing for your seat belts. While you find humor in some parts,
you will tear up in others. There are covert operations brought out
here that you may not have ever read nor heard about until now. The
many stories vividly described herein will take you around the
globe to no less than 21 different countries of Europe and the Far
East, not to mention the many states of the U.S. It takes you
through American military bases that are not accessible to the
average citizen. From coast to coast, from the Gulf of Mexico to
the far reaches of Anchorage, Alaska, come along with us on this
trip. I think you will enjoy the ride
Co-authors of "Imagine That," Don and Nikki celebrated their 50th
anniversary in 2009. Together, through a unique combination of
corporate merger, corporate sponsorships and their close
relationship with persons of influence, they were placed in a
position, which afforded them both the timely, once in a lifetime
opportunity to witness a period of rapid growth in the "Sport of
Auto Racing." Their story covers a broad spectrum of some little
known events. A range of "heartfelt," "heartbreak,"
"accomplishment," "failure," "uses," "abuses," "tragedy," "glory."
"Imagine That," recounts, "how it was," in realm of activities
encircling NASCAR, USAC, NHRA and SCCA. The personal experiences
Don and Nikki share are truly amazing. Reading it will cause you
numerous moments of "awe," concluding simply, "Imagine That"!

In this third edition of Vehicle Accident Analysis &
Reconstruction Methods, Raymond M. Brach and R. Matthew Brach have
expanded and updated their essential work for professionals in the
field of accident reconstruction. Most accidents can be
reconstructed effectively using of calculations and investigative
and experimental data: the authors present the latest scientific,
engineering, and mathematical reconstruction methods, providing a
firm scientific foundation for practitioners. Accidents that cannot
be reconstructed using the methods in this book are rare. In recent
decades, the field of crash reconstruction has been transformed
through the use of technology. The advent of event data records
(EDRs) on vehicles signaled the era of modern crash reconstruction,
which utilizes the same physical evidence that was previously
available as well as electronic data that are measured/captured
before, during, and after the collision. There is increased demand
for more professional and accurate reconstruction as more crash
data is available from vehicle sensors. The third edition of this
essential work includes a new chapter on the use of EDRs as well as
examples using EDR data in accident reconstruction. Early chapters
feature foundational material that is necessary for the
understanding of vehicle collisions and vehicle motion; later
chapters present applications of the methods and include example
reconstructions. As a result, Vehicle Accident Analysis &
Reconstruction Methods remains the definitive resource in accident
reconstruction.

Forget hurrying. Forget putting your foot down and racing through sweeping bends. Forget the understeer (whatever that is). Forget the blur of a life lived too fast. This is a look at taking life slowly. It's about taking the time to enjoy journeys and places for their own sake. It's about stopping and putting the kettle on. Stopping to take a picture. Stopping to enjoy stopping.
How are you going to do it? In a camper van or a motorhome, of course.
In this book we define the best driving routes around England and Wales for camper vans and motorhomes. We show you the coolest places to stay, what to see, what to do and explain why it's special. We meander around England and Wales on the most breathtaking roads, chugging up mountain passes and pootling along the coast. We show you stuff that's fun, often free. We include the best drives for different kinds of drivers; for surfers, wildlife watchers, climbers and walkers. We include the steepest, the bendiest, those with the most interesting bridges or views or obstacles, ferries and tidal causeways. And you don't even have to own a camper van or motorhome – we'll tell you the many places you can rent one to take you on the journey.
All of this is interspersed with beautiful photos, handy maps and quirky travel writing from the king of camper vans and motorhomes, Martin Dorey. So if all you want to do is flick through it on a cold day and plan your next outing, you'll be transported (albeit slowly) to pastures, beaches, mountains and highways that make you want to turn the key and go, go, go!

How can you pack all the camping gear and clothing needed for two
people on a motorcycle? At first, it may seem impossible but it is
easier than you think-if you do your homework. You must learn how
to acquire the right gear, how to pack it, and how to use it at
your campsite.
"Lightweight Camping for Motorcycle Travel" provides the
information and suggestions you will need to buy the right
clothing, tents, sleeping bags, tools, lights, cookware, and other
camping gear. It describes how to set up comfortable campsites, use
ropes and knots, cook great tasting meals, stay dry in stormy
weather, stay warm on cool nights, and prolong the life of your
gear.
Once you take a few trips and master the necessary skills, you
will enjoy many pleasures you could never experience in an
expensive motel room. You will enjoy breathing fresh air and
smelling food cooking at the campground. You will enjoy walking on
scenic trails and relaxing at your campsite. In the evening, you
will enjoy sitting by a warm campfire, listening to an owl, and
occasionally hearing a gentle rain falling on your tent.

and leisure and recreation. Berger has also included works that
investigate the government's role in aiding and regulating the
automobile, with sections on roads and highways, safety, and
pollution. The guide concludes with an overview of reference works
