Policing in Britain was changed fundamentally by the rapid
emergence of the automobile at the beginning of the twentieth
century. This book seeks to examine how the police reacted to this
challenge and moved to segregate the motorist from the pedestrian
in an attempt to eliminate the 'road holocaust' that ensued.
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!
This well-illustrated work by a distinguished social historian
narrates the epic of the great age of railway history and
development. It sets this in the context of the social history and
its contemporary impact on society as a whole. It shows
authoritatively how the railways revolutionised everything - being
the most spectacular change of the Industrial Revolution. This
impact continues to shape our life today, as the railways
transformed the economic life of whole nations and transformed the
quality of life itself. The author shows how railways helped break
down class barriers, and established quite new ones which persist
today.;The railways radically altered the pattern of leisure, too,
in upper, middle, and working class life. And they made possible
the growth of vast suburban areas, and ushered in the computer age.
In so many ways the railways formed the social structures of
today's industrial advances, as the author shows. This is a very
readable and highly individual social history full of valuable
insights.
Models covered YZF-R125*124cc*08-13 Model history Introduced in
2008, the Yamaha YZF-R125 is a sport bike aimed squarely at the
learner market. Its 125cc engine produces 11 kW (15 bhp), making it
road-legal for learners. Its striking styling is unashamedly
similar to the other R-series models such as the much
larger-engined YZF-R1 and R6, and like those models it features a
lightweight box frame and a cast aluminium swinging rear arm,
giving class-leading handling.

The universally themed book titled, 'The Karmic Car Cycles', is a
hilarious romp of car related misadventures by the
author/protagonist Cliff R. Livingstone. The book hits the ground
running and is still running at the end. Having led one of the
wackiest, most unusual, and so far unlikely lives on the planet,
the author romps through these awesome and oftentimes unbelievable
Karmic Car adventures at the rate of about ten laughs a second. The
author proposes that his car misadventures occurred because he had
a Karmic Car Cycle going on. He then builds the case though a
series of hilarious 'vignettes' that work in their right own over
and above the narrative. In writing it is hard to find an approach
that stands out from the crowd. But this is what Livingstone has
done with this distinctive work which lives up to its billing as a
'non-stop romp, morning, noon and night'. The writing style is
uproariously funny, conversational, wry, even whimsical at times
and is never less than totally entertaining. The book is anything
but your standard bowl of cornflakes. Writing is about addressing
other people. Mr. Livingstone has accurately identified the things
about his life's experiences which could be of interest to others.
This gives the 'Karmic Car Cycles' a more universal appeal than an
average straight forward narrative novel might offer. The book also
has a universal appeal which everyone can enjoy, in the sense that
while located mainly in Canada, the misadventures could just as
easily have happened to anybody, anywhere in the world whether
rich, poor, male, female, sane, zany or just plain still in their
boots. Likewise, the author's self-imposed criterion that all
included material be entertaining and/or thought provoking for the
benefit of others is a rule from which many writers could benefit.

The Rootes Story – The Chrysler Years focuses on the Rootes Group
during the 1960s and 70s, the vehicles produced by the company, the
people that created them and the events that led to Rootes selling
out to Chrysler Corporation of America and eventual acquisition by
the French Peugeot company. A valuable backdrop to the events is
provided throughout the book by ex- Rootes employees and
management. Chronicles the Rootes Group’s efforts to survive as a
major car and truck manufacturer in Britain’s turbulent 1960s and
1970s. From a position as a respected global name in manufacturing,
the Rootes Group found itself struggling to compete in a new
buyers’ market, in which foreign competition was starting to
overtake British manufacturers. Despite the challenges that
confronted them, Rootes designed and built some of the most popular
cars of the period: the Hillman Minx and Super Minx, the Singer
Vogue and the Humber Sceptre, and the iconic but ill-fated Hillman
Imp, as well as some of the most rugged and well-purposed vans and
trucks, built by Commer, Karrier and Dodge. The book highlights the
competition pedigree of the Sunbeam Rapier, the Alpine, the Imp and
the Ford V8-engined Tiger. Famous names such as Paddy Hopkirk,
Rosemary Smith and Peter Procter all give their stories as works
drivers for Rootes, while engineers at ‘comps’ tell the
background stories of how races and rallies were won and lost.
Andrew Cowan, Rootes’ works rally driver and winner of the 1968
London–Sydney Marathon in a Hillman Hunter, shares his story in
what was a remarkable and unexpected victory for Rootes. This
complex story is told through the eyes of ex-Rootes and Chrysler
personnel, giving ‘from the horse’s mouth’ accounts of the
company and its exploits. Geoff Carverhill takes you inside the
boardroom, into the drawing office and on to the production line to
give the reader an insider’s view of Rootes, Chrysler and
Peugeot.
British Buses and Coaches in the 1960s, is an overview of the bus
and coach scene during a decade of great social and economic change
in Britain's history. This volume looks at the interesting and
varied number of bus and coach operators that still existed, before
and just after the formation of the National Bus Company in 1968.
Jim Blake has compiled an interesting collection of material from
his extensive collection of negatives taken during that time, which
give a flavour of how things were at that time of great change.
