'Many people say that Nick Ardley is a bit of an eccentric, or an
anachronism from a simpler age, for the way he sails his clinker
sloop around the Thames estuary, wending among the tide-riddled
marshes to drop anchor where the fancy takes him, his trusty mate
at his side. In this volume, he has a clear unabashed plan: a
reflective journey between the Pools of Rochester and London, a
path once of commerce, but now pleasure. Rochester was once of
immense importance to Britain's past trading richness, but, even if
the belching chimneys pouring acrid fumes and cement dust have
evaporated, and oil refineries have slipped away; the wharves
lining the banks remain alive. As a distraction, he wanders a
little above Rochester and then again, a little above the Pool of
London towards Richmond. Between, he lands amongst the marsh and
mud, finding graves, the ribs of old sailors and farmsteads
enveloped in purslane and lavender. Many towns sailed past were
part of this heritage, supplying building materials, food and
fodder carried by the tan sailed barge to London. Nick Ardley dips
and dabbles into these communities and explores how they have
metamorphosed.

`The Last Years of Steam Around the East Midlands' covers most of
the railways across the county and the locomotives that worked over
them. In the main, the time period covers the ten years or so from
the late 1950s up to the end of steam working in the East Midlands.
In addition to steam locomotives, their diesel replacements will
also be shown. A number of industrial locations will also be
visited, and in particular, the book explores the now-closed
Ironstone Railways of the East Midlands. The photographs, a mixture
of colour and black and white, come mostly from those taken by the
author and his late father, with the balance coming from his
father's old friends. Most of the photographs have never been
published, with all images accompanied by an extensive and
informative commentary.

tourism impacts on destination societies. The fifth edition has
been fully revised and updated to reflect recent data, concepts and
academic debates: * New content on: mobilities paradigm and the
emotional dimension of tourist experiences. * New chapter: Tourism
and the Digital Revolution, looking at the ways in which the
Internet and mobile technology transform both tourist behaviour and
the tourist experience. * New end-of-chapter further reading and
discussion topics. Accessible yet critical in style, this book

society.

Long before Glenn Miller made the world-famous "Chattanooga Choo
Choo" an American icon, Chattanooga was already a bustling railroad
community. By the beginning of the 20th century, passenger trains
overwhelmed Chattanooga's two railroad depots and a larger station
was needed. The solution was Terminal Station, which rivaled most
Southern depots in size, expense, and aesthetic beauty. Providing
transportation to cities throughout the country, the terminal made
its mark as the gateway for rail from the agricultural south to the
industrial north. Following its closure, the terminal was reopened
as a renowned hotel and entertainment complex in 1973, becoming one
of Chattanooga's many exciting attractions. Images of Rail:
Chattanooga's Terminal Station follows the history of this depot in
both stories and photographs.

Take a fanciful journey into the world of vintage camping trailers
through the stories of their owners. Almost 400 photos offer a peek
at the rare, the unique, the coveted, and the just plain adorable.
Tag along to a vintage trailer rally, visit an all-girls camp, and
check out the decor of these jewels-ranging from original birch
paneling, chenille bedspreads, and a period-perfect Dixie stove, to
a "Sharkstream" trailer-as-art-installation. Those with the
conviction that trailers deserve to be loved and lived in will
enjoy exploring the possibilities as they search for, renovate, or
simply dream of living in their own little piece of history.
For the economical do-it-yourselfer who wants to build his or her
own skiff, this instruction manual relies on simple techniques and
hand-powered tools and shows how to make a boat in a minimum amount
of time. Start your flatiron skiff in the spring and be on the
water by summer. Boat-building instructor K. D. Jones explains his
"Thoreau Approach," which involves learning to trust your instincts
like craftsmen of centuries past as you use your eyes and hands to
build simple, elegant, functional boats. The book includes lists of
recommended tools and accessories, design variations, instructional
photographs and drawings, and a little history about this
under-appreciated type of boat, named for its resemblance in shape
to an antique cast-iron press. The use of these traditional methods
and of local materials not only reduces construction costs but also
prevents exposure to toxic adhesives and solvents.
This book is a gallery of more than two hundred photographs,
including a colour section, featuring a selection of Great Western
Railway/British Railways (Western) branch lines and similar
services taken between 1900 and 1965\. The emphasis is pictorial
rather than factual with the aim of using photographs provided by
two transport charities as well as the author, all of which are
unlikely to have appeared previously in print or on the Internet.
Generally, images depict working trains surrounded by recognisable
infrastructure, often with station nameboards visible. Such
pictures should be of particular interest to railway modellers as
well as invoking nostalgia for the older generation who were
pursuing their hobby around the time the pictures were taken. Most
of the branch lines covered were victims of the 1960s "Beeching
Axe", with closure to passengers or complete closure coming even
earlier in some cases. Most of the services depicted are steam
operated although a few GWR and BR diesel railcars/multiple units
are included. All the scenes seem to reflect a more leisurely way
of life than exists today.
Range Unlimited covers the developmental history of aerial

applied in the 21st century and beyond.
