Between soaring mountains, across arid deserts, parched plains and
valleys of fruit orchards and olive groves, down glittering
coastlines and along viaducts towering above plunging ravines...
there is no better way to see Spain than by train. Rail enthusiast
Tom Chesshyre, author of Slow Trains to Venice, Ticket to Ride and
Tales from the Fast Trains, hits the tracks once again to take in
the country through carriage windows on a series of clattering
rides beyond the popular image of "holiday Spain" (although he
stops by in Benidorm and Torremolinos too). From hidden spots in
Catalonia, through the plains of Aragon and across the north coast
to Santiago de Compostela, Chesshyre continues his journey via
Madrid, the wilds of Extremadura, dusty mining towns, the
cathedrals and palaces of Valencia and Granada, and finally to
Seville, Andalusia's beguiling (and hot) capital. Encounters?
Plenty. Mishaps? A lot. Happy Spanish days? All the way.

In the late 19th century, bicyling and motoring offered new ways
for a hardy minority to travel. Escaping from the 'tyranny' of the
train timetables, these entrepreneurs were able to promote private
mobility when the road, technology and infrastructure were unequal
to the task. With a moribund network out of town, poor roadside
accommodation and few services, how could road traction persist and
ultimately thrive? Drawing on a wealth of primary sources,
including magazines, newspapers and advice books on stable
management, this book explores the emergence and development of
bicycling and automobility in Britain, with a focus on the racing
driver-cum-entrepreneur SF Edge (1868-1940) and his network. Craig
Horner considers the motivations, prejudices and cultures of those
who promoted and consumed road traction, providing new insights
into social class, leisure, sport and tourism in Britain. In
addition, he places early British bicycling and automobility in an
international context, providing fruitful comparisons with the
movements in France, Germany and the United States. The Emergence
of Bicycling and Automobility in Britain is an excellent resource
for scholars and students interested in mobility studies, social
and cultural history, and the history of technology.

After the First World War, airships were seen as the only viable
means of long range air transport for passengers and freight. In
Britain, this gave rise to the Imperial Airship Scheme of 1924 to
link the outposts of the Empire by an airship service. Conceived as
part of this scheme, the R.100 airship, built by private
enterprise, successfully flew to Canada and back in 1930. This is
the story of R.100, Britain's most successful passenger airship. It
is a tale of schemes and politics, over-optimism and rivalry. It
tells the full story of its design and construction under difficult
conditions, the setbacks and delays, personal antagonism and
financial constraint. Two years late and massively over budget,
R.100 flew and flew well, achieving her designer's ambition and
fulfilling the contract specification. Her Canadian flight in 1930
was the culminating success, but her ultimate fate was dictated by
the tragedy that befell her Government-built sister ship, R.101,
and economic expediency at a time of national economic depression.
"I will get him a squirrel gun" A few days went by and one morning
I got up out of bed before Mom and Dad did. I walked into the
living room and quietly sat down. I could hear Mom and Dad talking
in their bedroom. I heard Mom say to Dad, "You could buy Tony a
good shot gun if you would do it." I heard Dad say back to Mom,
"Now I just don't have the money." Mom told him, "It's a sin to
lie." Dad said to her, "Well, you go buy him a gun if you can."
Then Mom told him. 'I will get him a squirrel gun if it harelips
old Billy Hell, you just wait and see if I don't."
