Moquette is the carpet-like fabric covering the seats we sit on in
London's Tubes, buses, trams and Overground trains - and here is a
brilliantly colourful guide to all its patterns. London Transport
has always wanted the best design, be it Charles Holden's superb
art deco Tube stations on the Piccadilly Line, its elegant Johnston
typeface or Harry Beck's Tube map. And this pursuit of excellence
has extended even to the design of the fabrics it covers our bus
and Tube seats with: moquette. In the Thirties top artists like
Paul Nash and Enid Marx were commissioned to design patterns;
nowadays every line like Crossrail or the Overground gets its own
unique, colour-co-ordinated moquette pattern. Now, in conjunction
with the London Transport Museum, which has the definitive London
Transport moquette archive, Andrew Martin has written a delightful,
surprising and covetable guide to all these patterns, from the
first horse bus to the latest Tube train.
Following hot on the heels of the hugely successful book BIKE: Tar
& Gravel Adventures in South Africa in 2011, MapStudio now
offers the sequel, BIKE: The Longer. Whilst the first book focused
on shorter trips in South Africa, The Longer Road details 8-10 day
long journeys not only in South Africa but also in neighbouring
countries – Namibia, Botswana, Zimbabwe and Mozambique. The Longer
Road will take readers on an expedition through some of Southern
Africa’s most scenic and picturesque spots including Sossusvlei,
Victoria Falls, the Okavango Delta and the Cederberg wilderness
area. Whether you want to explore one country at a time or five in
one trip – there is a route available to meet every need. Longer
itineraries take bikers into unknown territory, therefore full map
coverage of all the destinations have been included with the focus
on adding as much detail as possible. The Longer Road also includes
information on bike-friendly accommodation and camp sites,
historical monuments, mountain passes, national parks and even
adventure activities in the specific regions. Another addition is
an extensive gear list with in-depth reviews on bikes, tyres,
camping gear, GPS systems, communication tools and luggage systems.

Many books have been published about Italian motorcycles, but
none has focused exclusively on the Italian motorcycle-based
chopper, bobber, trike, and quad custom bike scene - until now.
Even though customizing is not normally associated with Italian
brands, there are some fantastic individually-built Italian custom
bikes out there, old and new. In recognition of the trend Ducati
entered into a new market segment when it launched its power
cruiser Diavel in November 2010, while Moto Guzzi has its Aquila
Nero range ... these and many other custom-style bikes have been
well-received in the customs scene. This book looks at some of the
fascinating custom projects out there, accompanied by stunning
photography of the finished bikes. A great book for Italian bike
fans, and fans of the custom bike scene in general.

Motorcycle Engineering is a primer and technical introduction for
anyone interested in motorcycles, motorcycling, and the motorcycle
industry. It provides insight into how motorcycles are made and
operated. Motorcycles, mopeds, and scooters are important factors
in world transport, and they are playing an increasingly important
role in transport policy as we move towards greater environmental
awareness. Motorcycles and scooters give freedom of personal
transport that enable large commuter distances to be covered
quickly and easily. Their small footprint offers easy storage as
only minimal space is required. To celebrate the importance of
motorcycles on the world stage, a brief history is included with a
detailed timeline detailing the development of the motorcycle
alongside major world events. Written in an accessible fashion, no
previous knowledge of engineering or technology is required, as all
technical terms are readily explained and a glossary and
abbreviation list is included. Whether you are an enthusiast,
racer, student, or industry professional, you will surely find this
an enjoyable read and a handy reference book on your shelf.
