Incredible Scream Machine - A History of the Roller Coaster (Paperback): Robert Cartmell Incredible Scream Machine - A History of the Roller Coaster (Paperback)
Robert Cartmell
R1,093 Discovery Miles 10 930 Ships in 18 - 22 working days

Both of these books are published under the University of Wisconsin Press' Popular Press imprint. In 1984, America celebrated the one hundredth anniversary of the first successful roller coaster device - La Marcus A. Thompson's switchback railway - erected at Coney Island. Although more than a century has gone by, the literature of the amusement park and its history is still in its infancy. Robert Cartmell examines every phase of roller coaster history, from the use of the roller coaster by Albert Einstein to demonstrate his theory of physics, to John Allen's use of psychology in designing one.

Ferris Wheels - An Illustrated History (Paperback, New edition): Norman D. Anderson Ferris Wheels - An Illustrated History (Paperback, New edition)
Norman D. Anderson
R1,454 Discovery Miles 14 540 Ships in 18 - 22 working days

Norman Anderson has written a gripping story of one of the engineering marvels of both the nineteenth and the twentieth century, the ferris wheel. The idea of this contraption may be as old as the water wheel, and written descriptions and drawings of pleasure wheels go back at least four centuries. There have been dozens of experiments with design and construction--early portable wheels by Strobel, the Condermans, Sullivan and others; one-of-a-kind wheels like Schnitzler's Asbury Park wheel with a tower and Stubb's water-turned wheel at Electric Park in Waterloo, Iowa; giant wheels in London, Blackpool, Vienna, Paris and recently in Japan.
