Our very successful pocket book giving details of London walks to
see the sites of disused railway structures is now available in a
new edition with maps. Updated to the first half of 2021, the book
provides ideas for walks now we are all getting out more. Maps of
each route have now been added to accompany the descriptions and
photos.
First published in 2005 as a volume in the NASA "Monograph in
Aerospace History" series. This study contains photographs and

with thorough instructions and clear photos. Haynes repair manuals
are used by the pros, but written for the do-it-yourselfer.
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."
Automobile heritage encompasses a complex range of artefacts and
activities. Beyond just historic vehicles which are the primary
artefacts of this niche, it also includes communities of collectors
and enthusiasts, private owners and public institutions, as well as
historic motoring environments, literally thousands of museums,
exhibitions and car shows throughout the world, and a range of
paraphernalia that includes both original and replicated
promotional materials, equipment and parts, and guide books.
Although automobile heritage has been the subject of some limited
research, Automobile Heritage and Tourism is unique in examining
its scope and role within tourism. The book looks at a vast array
of topics, from the experience of using and collecting old cars,
related destination development, automobile heritage and museums,
to events such as vintage automobile racing, promotion and social
change. It thereby provides a thorough review of the impacts of
automobile heritage on tourism. A number of theories provide a
framework and are analysed throughout, including those related to
the collection, display, exhibition and use of historic
automobiles. The title takes a global and interdisciplinary view of
the subject with international contributions from both established
and emerging scholars in the field. This book adds to the
industrial heritage tourism literature and will appeal to a diverse
audience, in particular those in the fields of cultural heritage
and industrial heritage tourism, but also practitioners involved
with the planning, restoration, exhibition and management of
automobile heritage attractions and events.
This book explores the historical and archaeological evidence of
the relationships between a coastal community and the shipwrecks
that have occurred along the southern Australian shoreline over the
last 160 years. It moves beyond a focus on shipwrecks as events and
shows the short and long term economic, social and symbolic
significance of wrecks and strandings to the people on the
shoreline. This volume draws on extensive oral histories,
documentary and archaeological research to examine the tensions
within the community, negotiating its way between its roles as
shipwreck saviours and salvors.
This beautifully photographed volume surveys the Japanese
motorcycles which have helped steer the American cycling habit
since the late 1950s. Examples of first models, last models, and
the most unusual Japanese machines to hit American shores are
covered in detail with over 450 color photos and accompanying text.
Almost every cycle shown is 100 percent original or has been
painstakingly returned to its original form. The first machines
from Japan were simple, lightweight units that could be ridden by
anyone, and opened up new roads for the neophyte rider. As the
years progressed, the offerings from the Japanese makers became the
ones to beat.

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.
In the early 1940s, Wolfgang Langewiesche wrote a series of articles in Air Facts analyzing the various aspects of piloting techniques. Based on these articles, Langewiesches classic work on the art of flying was published in 1944. This book explains precisely what pilots do when they fly, just how they do it, and why. These basics are largely unchanging. The book applies to large airplanes and small, old airplanes and new, and is of interest not only to the learner but also to the accomplished pilot and instructor. Today, several excellent manuals offer the pilot accurate and valuable technical information. But Stick and Rudder remains the leading think-book on the art of flying.
