Before the Ford Capri arrived in 1969, GT cars had tended to be
expensive, temperamental, impractical and rarefied. Ford decided
there was no reason why a four-seater coupe couldn't look stunning
and go like a rocket (with the right engine) yet be as easy and
cheap to run as a Ford Escort. Little wonder that the slogan they
used in 1969 to launch it, 'The car you always promised yourself',
made an immediate impact. The Capri was a hit from day one, and
continued to be a British favourite until 1986, at which time it
had been somewhat overshadowed by the emergence of the Hot
Hatchback. Over its lifetime, the Capri was available in a vast
array of guises over three distinct 'Marks', but all of them had at
their heart affordable fun and a surprising degree of everyday
practicality. Nothing has ever quite replaced it, but it lives on
in the fond imagination of everyone who loved it.
The unique character of British Rail was the outcome of outstanding
design work from teams of engineers, architects and designers over
many decades. Every aspect of Britain's railways became part of the
corporate design, not only its locomotives, trains and rolling
stock, but also uniforms, liveries, posters etc. Inspired by Brian
Haresnape's cult classic of the late 1970s, this new book tells the
complete story of BR design and branding right up to the late
1990s. It covers firstly the challenge of nationalisation and
corporatisation, then the complete branding of the network to
include trains, rolling stock, staff, architecture, the development
of BR corporate identity and then on to the 1990s when
denationalisation brought a new requirement for design
diversification. This beautiful book will be enjoyed by all those
with an interest in commercial design and branding, as well as
enthusiasts of the British Rail era.

Each Haynes manual provides specific and detailed instructions for
performing everything from basic maintenance and troubleshooting to
a complete overhaul of the machine, in this case the Yamaha YZF-R1,
model years 1998 through 2003. Do-it-yourselfers will find this
service and repair manual more comprehensive than the factory
manual, making it an indispensable part of their tool box. A
typical Haynes manual covers: general information; troubleshooting;
lubrication and routine maintenance; engine top end; engine lower
end; primary drive, clutch and external shift mechanism;
transmission and internal shift mechanism; engine management
system; electrical system; wheels, tires and drivebelt; front
suspension and steering; rear suspension; brakes; body, and color
wiring diagrams. An index makes the manual easy to navigate.

A symbol of the "new Japan" displayed at World's Fairs, depicted in
travel posters, and celebrated as the product of a national spirit
of innovation, the Tōkaidō Shinkansen—the first bullet train,
dubbed the "dream super-express"—represents the bold aspirations
of a nation rebranding itself after military defeat, but also the
deep problems caused by the unbridled postwar drive for economic
growth. At the dawn of the space age, how could a train become such
an important symbol? In Dream Super-Express, Jessamyn Abel contends
that understanding the various, often contradictory, images of the
bullet train reveals how infrastructure operates beyond its
intended use as a means of transportation to perform cultural and
sociological functions. The multi-layered dreams surrounding this
high-speed railway tell a history not only of nation-building but
of resistance and disruption. Though it constituted neither a major
technological leap nor a new infrastructural connection, the train
enchanted, enthralled, and enraged government officials, media
pundits, community activists, novelists, and filmmakers. This
history of imaginations around the monumental rail system resists
the commonplace story of progress to consider the tug-of-war over
the significance of the new line. Is it a vision of the future or a
reminder of the past, an object of international admiration or a
formidable threat? Does it enable new relationships and identities
or reify existing social hierarchies? Tracing the meanings assigned
to high-speed rail shows how it prompted a reimagination of
identity on the levels of individual, metropolis, and nation in a
changing Japan.
A fascinating history of European motorcycle racing, going back to
a period far removed from the world of Moto GP today: a time when
many young men from all walks of life decided to give up their
livelihoods in favour of earning their living by racing motorcycles
on the dangerous public road circuits of the European Continent. It
was a nomadic existence that involved travelling from circuit to
circuit, circus fashion, hence the title 'Continental Circus.' The
book begins with the pre-war period, when many young British riders
travelled to the Continent to take part in the Grand Prix races,
held from around 1920 and across Europe. British riders such as
Alec Bennett, Stanley Woods, Jimmy Guthrie and many more, gained
notable success and established their reputations on the European
circuits. Moving on to the post-war era, the book details the
riders from around the world who joined the Circus - self-financed
'privateers' from Australia, New Zealand and South Africa. The
1950s and '60s were the days of the true Continental Circus, when
private riders earned their living riding all over the continent.
The book also covers the development of the machines that became
the essential tools of the private riders, and the eventual demise
of the Continental Circus in the 1970s, due to new safety
regulations and the escalating cost of racing. Chris Pereira's
historical account is sourced both from first-hand experience of
racing, and from his own vast library of racing history records and
photographs.

Many books have been written about the Hawker Hunter, one of the
world's great jet fighters. The majority, however, have tended to
concentrate on the aircraft's extensive service career. Superbly
illustrated with both colour and black-and-white photographs of the
Hawker Hunter - which has always been one of the most photogenic of
all aeroplanes - this new title is the first devoted specifically
to the Hunter's design and development: how and why the aircraft
came into being, the troubles it experienced on the way, its flight
test programme and what it was like to pilot. Drawing on many
original Air Staff and Ministry documents and also the Hawker
aircraft day-to-day diaries, it tells the story of one-off
modifications and trials projects, aerodynamic modifications and
tests with various weapons, along with proposed developments,
including supersonic versions.
