simulators. Meanwhile, as the volume of traffic increases,
simulators are being seen as a real addition to the driving trainer
's armory. This book explains the basics of education and training
using simulators and their ability to improve safety on our
streets. K ppler shows that they can be used for documentation,
data acquisition, data analysis, evaluation, and modeling as well
as for simple training.

Bedford Buses and Coaches provides a detailed review of the entire
range of purpose-built Public Service Vehicle (PSV) bus and coach
chassis that carried the Bedford name from 1931 until production
ceased in 1986. Bedfords were once a familiar sight on the roads
not only of the United Kingdom, but throughout the world. They were
produced in such volume that the advertising slogan 'You see them
everywhere' was quite legitmately adopted by Vauxhall Motors, the
manufacturer of Bedford vehicles. Fully illustrated throughout with
hundreds of photographs, the majority in colour, the book includes
detailed descriptions of the Bedford petrol and diesel engines and
other manufacturers engines used in Bedford bus and coach chassis.
Detailed specifications and production histories are given for all
the full-size passenger chassis including the WHB/WLB, WTB, OB/OWB,
SB, VAS, VAL, VAM, Y-series and the Venturer. Road tests and
owners' experiences are covered along with advice on buying and
restoring a Bedford bus or coach.
Down through the years with my unusual amount of engine failures,
over 18, most pilots with total engine failures usually died. Also,
how many 16 year old teenagers have thumbed and hopped the freight
trains to see the states from coast to coast and border to border,
starting with a twenty dollar bill? Not only is this an
interesting, fun read, but it has some simple rules that help to
keep pilots in general aviation alive, even the best. Before
retiring from the airline, I met a flight instructor that had
instructed at the same airport in Monroeville years before. He was
an excellent pilot. He told me he was ferrying airplanes all over
the world, even single engine aircraft. I was amazed that he would
fly over the ocean to reach some of the countries with a single
engine airplane. The last thing I asked him, "What will you do if
the engine quits?" He just laughed. A few years later his picture
was on the front page of a Pittsburgh newspaper. He was flying near
the Canary Islands and his engine quit. They never found him. So,
if you have any pilot friends, you may want to give them a copy of
this book if only to read the chapter on, "Staying Alive."
Much writing about 19th-century East Africa has been distorted
by the legacy of post-Enlightenment thought as well as by more
insidious racist ideologies. Humanitarian lobbies throughout
Western Europe, strongly influenced by positivist ideas, and
campaigning to highlight the ravages of the slave trade, condemned
Africa in their writings and propaganda to the periphery, outside
universal history. Africa was reduced to a continent of slavery, in
which the market, entrepreneurship and free wage labour could not
exist. These ideas penetrated scholarly works and still survive in
some guises. The consequence is that a variety of initiatives and
forms of labour organization associated with the long distance
trades in ivory and imported cloth have been overlooked by
scholars, while the slave paradigm received widespread attention.
Utilizing the conceptual tool of crew culture, Rockel documents a
large-scale African migrant labour system. Nyamwezi caravan porters
from the interior, as well as coastal Zanzibaris and Waungwana,
forged a unique way of life in which market values and experience
of wage labour and the caravan safari combined with customary
standards and notions of honour derived from innovative
reconceptualizations of tradition. The safari experience,
commercial change, and interactions with peasant and pastoral
communities along the trade routes, all contributed to the
emergence of a unique East Africa modernity. This book can be read
on a variety of levels It is a journey, a labour history, a story
of African initiative and adaptation to modernity, and a
contribution to a history of Tanzania and East Africa that gives
due attention to intersocietal linkages, and networks.
Rockel utilizes a variety of methodologies and theoretical
approaches derived from neo-Marxist and postcolonial perspectives,
as well as Africanist innovations in oral historiography and labour
and gender studies. Drawing on such insights, "Carriers of Culture"
develops and expands our understanding of the way workers invent
new and unique cultures to make sense of and control the labour
process, create support networks including collective leisure
activities, maximize and protect economic interests, and manage the
labour market. The book is clearly written, and is illustrated with
late-19th-century photographs and artwork.
The British Rail corporate image and its Rail Blue livery was one
of the longest-lived colour schemes carried by the trains of
Britain in the forty-eight-year life of the nationalised railway
network. Launched in 1965, after Beeching, the then new corporate
image was an attempt by the BR design panel to raise the profile of
the railway system countrywide and to sweep away the dull steam-era
image as the swinging sixties got underway. By the mid-1970s,
virtually all BR locomotives and multiple units were carrying Rail
Blue livery, while most of the passenger coaches were in matching
blue/grey. As the British Rail network was sectorised from the late
1980s in preparation for eventual privatisation, new bold, bright
livery schemes for the fleet swept away the familiar, but by then
somewhat jaded BR image. The BR blue era is now looked upon with
affection as a golden age when the system was operated by an
immense variety of locomotives and rolling stock, all now part of
history in the same way that the steam era was viewed when the BR
blue era ruled on Britain's railways.

The 17 chapters in this book, which evolved from a conference on
measuring the contributions of ITS sponsored by the California
Department of Transportation in February 2002, examine the costs
and benefits of ITS in an economic and business policy context.
Section 1 examines the broad theme of how and what ITS contributes
to the economy and how one makes a business case for ITS. Section 2
includes three chapters on ITS applications in mass transit.
Section 3 explores ITS applications in the automobile/highway
system. Section 4 considers integrative issues including how ITS is
perceived and how it can be positioned to improve surface
transportation.
This volume will be especially useful to researchers and policy
makers working in transportation, transportation engineering, and
the economic analysis of transportation systems.
