'Every time I have ridden 66, within 10 miles of setting off, I
never want that ride to end. I think it's because Route 66
encapsulates struggle, and, ultimately, triumphing over
unimaginably difficult conditions. I think everyone can connect
with that.' RIDING ROUTE 66 follows Henry Cole as he travels along
Route 66, on a journey of self-discovery. Route 66, or the 'Mother
Road', is one of the most famous roads in the USA. Crossing the
width of the country, it is an immensely challenging road to
travel. Henry has ridden it four times. This book is about the
freedom that only the road and a motorcycle can give you, and the
importance of embracing the highs and lows of life equally. Henry
is one of the most well-known figures in motorcycling, having
presented over twenty series of many TV shows as well as being the
founder of bespoke motorcycle manufacturer Gladstone Motorcyles.

R6. The XJ6 is sold throughout the world, but is known as the FZ6R
in the US. Differences between the XJ6 models are few; the N and SP
models are unfaired, the S has a sports fairing and the F a full
fairing. Models covered *XJ6 N*599cc*09 - 15 *XJ6 SP*599cc*13 - 15

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.
Arrested Development takes a hard look at the state of Nigeria's
shipping sector and concludes that the sector has failed to live up
to expectation. Inconsistent government policies, mediocrity, poor
planning, and a general lack of understanding of the role of
shipping in national development have all contributed to the sorry
state of the shipping sector. The author traced the history of
Nigeria's shipping sector from the precolonial era to the present
time and concludes that a lot more needs to be done if meaningful
development of the sector is to be attained.
