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.
Whirl Flutter of Turboprop Aircraft Structures, Second Edition
explores the whirl flutter phenomenon, including theoretical,
practical, analytical and experimental aspects of the matter.
Sections provide a general overview regarding aeroelasticity,
discussions on the physical principle and the occurrence of whirl
flutter in aerospace practice, and experimental research conducted,
especially from the 60s. Other chapters delve into analytical
methods such as basic and advanced linear models, non-linear and
CFD based methods, certification issues including regulation
requirements, a description of possible certification approaches,
and several examples of aircraft certification from aerospace.
Finally, a database of relevant books, reports and papers is
provided. This updated and expanded second edition covers new
chapters including both analytical and experimental aspects of the
subject matter.

Transportation Amid Pandemics: Practices and Policies is the first
reference on pandemics (especially COVID-19) in the context of
transport, logistics, and supply chains. This book investigates the
relationships between pandemics and transport and evaluates impacts
of COVID-19 and effects of policy responses to address them. It
explores how to recover from pandemics, reveals governance for
immediate policy responses and future innovations, suggests
strategies for post-pandemic sustainable and resilient development,
shares lessons of COVID-19 policymaking across countries, and
discusses how to transform transport systems for a better future.
Transportation Amid Pandemics offers transport researchers and
policymakers the scientific evidence they need to support their
decisions and solutions against pandemics. "Curiosity and research
brought me to discover an excellent handbook covering the relations
between COVID 19 and the transport reality. It is called
"Transportation amid Pandemics -Lessons Learned from COVID-19" and
has been published this year. 2022 happens to be the year of the
50th anniversary of the first report to The Club of Rome "The
Limits to Growth". The new book covers evidences from all over the
world, and offers policy recommendations from a great variety of
perspectives". Ernst Ulrich von Weizsaecker
A world-recognized expert in the science of vehicle dynamics, Dr.
Thomas Gillespie has created an ideal reference book that has been
used by engineers for 30 years, ranging from an introduction to the
subject at the university level to a common sight on the desks of
engineers throughout the world. As with the original printing,
Fundamentals of Vehicle Dynamics, Revised Edition, strives to find
a middle ground by balancing the need to provide detailed
conceptual explanations of the engineering principles involved in
the dynamics of ground vehicles with equations and example problems
that clearly and concisely demonstrate how to apply such
principles. A study of this book will ensure that the reader comes
away with a solid foundation and is prepared to discuss the subject
in detail. Ideal as much for a first course in vehicle dynamics as
it is a professional reference, Fundamentals of Vehicle Dynamics,
Revised Edition, maintains the tradition of the original by being
easy to read and while receiving updates throughout in the form of
modernized graphics and improved readability.

competition bikes, plus the full story behind the model's

A graphic novel by a lifelong motorcycle club member, inspired
by the secrets of one percenters.
Phil Cross has been a Hells Angel for over 40 years. In the
world of outlaw motorcycle clubs, there are many stories that can't
be told, for a variety of reasons, but they have spurred Phil's
imagination to create a fictional story inspired by real
events.
One-percenter antiheroes populate these pagesa tougher and
wilder than any character ever played by Dennis Hopper, Peter
Fonda, or Marlon Brando. The guys in the tales Phil spins might
remind you of Easy Rider and The Wild One, but the hard glint in
their eyes proves that they are based on the real deal.
Illustrator Ronn Sutton provides stunning visuals to bring
Phil's stories to life. These bikers aren't going to ride off into
the sunset any time soon."
