This title details the cover-up of one of the worst labour
tragedies in American history. The authors conducted an
archaeological dig of the site and include their observations. It
includes many illustrations. It will appeal to readers interested
in Irish and Irish-American history, labour history, and the
history of technology and medicine. In 1832, fifty-seven Irish
Catholic workers were brought to the United States to lay one of
the most difficult miles of American railway, Duffy's Cut of the
Pennsylvania Railroad. In the eyes of the company, these men were
expendable. Deaths were common during the building of the railway
but this stretch was worse than most. When cholera swept the camp,
basic medical attention and community support was denied to them.
In the end, all fifty-seven men died and were buried in a mass
unmarked grave. Their families in Ireland were never told what
happened to them. The company did its best to cover up the
incident, which was one of the worst labour tragedies in U.S.
history. This book tells the story of these men, the sacrifices
they made, and the mistreatment that claimed their lives. learn how
Irish labour built the railroads, and about the impact of the Great
Cholera Epidemic on American life. The authors argue that the
annihilation of the work crew came about because of the extreme
conditions of their employment, the prejudice of the surrounding
community, and vigilante violence that kept them isolated. The
authors' archaeological digs at the site and meticulous historical
research shed light on this tragic chapter in American labour
history.

Forced by federal regulations to retire at age 60, Jerry Sorlucco
had served as an airline captain for nearly forty years and was
probably the senior pilot on the planet. During that long career,
he flew everything from Dos to Boeing 767s. His memoir documents
that experience professionally, personally and to some extent
technically. Anyone with any curiosity about the life, work, gear
and training of an airline pilot will find something engaging in
this book. The story begins with an Italian kid from Brooklyn''s
early love of flying and ends with his final flight from Frankfurt
in 1997. Photographs of the aircraft Sorlucco flew, crewmembers,
and his friends and family enhance the lively narrative. Given the
sorry state of the airline industry, this story is especially
timely. Sorlucco discusses some of the reasons for the industry''s
collapse and offers some possible solutions. In fact, the entire
narrative is framed in its historical context, so the reader will
be constantly reminded of the wider world surrounding a personal
journey. A Good Stick is a must read for the thousands of fellow
pilots who shared an era with Jerry Sorlucco, for young pilots
trying to keep afloat in a sea of airline red ink, and for anyone
wondering what on Earth happened to America''s airline industry.
For the aficionado, the historical and technical data in the
narrative is not merely anecdotal; it is thoroughly researched and
accurate.
Fuel injection systems and performance is fundamental to combustion
engine performance in terms of power, noise, efficiency, and
exhaust emissions. There is a move toward electric vehicles (EVs)
to reduce carbon emissions, but this is unlikely to be a rapid
transition, in part due to EV batteries: their size, cost,
longevity, and charging capabilities as well as the scarcity of
materials to produce them. Until these isssues are resolved,
refining the spark-ignited engine is necessary address both
sustainability and demand for affordable and reliable mobility.
Even under policies oriented to smart sustainable mobility,
spark-ignited engines remain strategic, because they can be applied
to hybridized EVs or can be fueled with gasoline blended with
bioethanol or bio-butanol to drastically reduce particulate matter
emissions of direct injection engines in addition to lower CO2
emissions. In this book, Alessandro Ferrari and Pietro Pizzo
provide a full review of spark-ignited engine fuel injection
systems. The most popular typologies of fuel injection systems are
considered, with special focus on state-of-the-art solutions.
Dedicated sections on the methods for air mass evaluation, fuel
delivery low-pressure modules, and the specific subsystems for
idle, cold start, and warm-up control are also included. The
authors pay special attention to mixture formation strategies, as
they are a fundamental theme for SI engines. An exhaustive overview
of fuel injection technologies is provided, and mixture formation
strategies for spark ignited combustion engines are considered.
Fuel Injection Systems illustrates the performance of these systems
and will also serve as a reference for engineers who are active in
the aftermarket, offering detailed information on fuel injection
system solutions that are mounted in older vehicles.
The history of the development of the unique vessels built for the
New England fishing industry from colonial days to the first third
of the twentieth century is here recounted by the leading authority
on the subject. Mr. Chapelle gathered material from numerous
sources over many years for this book, bringing together a vast
amount of important information on the beautiful American fishing
schooners, now extinct, built at Essex and other shipbuilding areas
of New England. This book traces the evolution of the American
fishing schooner from the eighteenth century to the last working
and racing schooners of the mid-1930s. The designers, builders, and
crews are also discussed. There are 137 plans of schooners which
graphically show the development of the type. An important feature
of the book is its illustrated glossary-appendix based on Mr.
Chapelle's notebooks. It covers scores of items of hull
construction and equipment, rigging and gear, color and carving,
and includes notes by the builders and riggers themselves, in fact,
everything that could be recorded about these crafts, then
fast-disappearing.
