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.
The ultimate guide to the very best scenic and fun routes for
camper vans and motorhomes around the mountains, coastlines and
winding roads of beautiful Spain and Portugal. Forget hurrying.
Forget putting your foot down and racing through sweeping bends.
Forget the understeer (whatever that is). Forget the blur of a life
lived too fast. This is a look at taking life slowly. It's about
taking the time to enjoy journeys and places for their own sake.
It's about stopping and putting the kettle on. Stopping to take a
picture. Stopping to enjoy stopping. How are you going to do it? In
a camper van or a motorhome, of course. In this book we define the
best driving routes around Spain and Portugal for camper vans and
motorhomes. We show you the coolest places to stay, what to see,
what to do and explain why it's special. We meander around Spain
and Portugal on the most breathtaking roads, chugging up mountain
passes and pootling along the coast. We show you stuff that's fun,
often free. We include the best drives for different kinds of
drivers; for walkers, culture-buffs, sea-swimmers and
sun-worshippers. We include the steepest, the bendiest, the most
picturesque and most interesting. And you don't even have to own a
camper van or motorhome - we'll tell you the many places you can
rent one to take you on the journey. All of this is interspersed
with beautiful photos, handy maps and quirky travel writing from
the king of camper vans and motorhomes, Martin Dorey. So if all you
want to do is flick through on a cold day and plan your next
outing, you'll be transported (albeit slowly) to cobbled streets,
beaches, mountains and winding roads that make you want to turn the
key and go, go, go!

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.

Each Haynes manual provides specific and detailed instructions for
performing everything from basic maintenance and troubleshooting to
a complete overhaul of the machine, in this case the BMW RnineT,
model years 2014 through 2017. Do-it-yourselfers will find this
service and repair manual more comprehensive than the factory
manual, making it an indispensable part of their tool box. A
typical Haynes manual covers: general information; troubleshooting;
lubrication and routine maintenance; engine top end; engine lower
end; primary drive, clutch and external shift mechanism;
transmission and internal shift mechanism; engine management
system; electrical system; wheels, tires and drivebelt; front
suspension and steering; rear suspension; brakes; body, and color
wiring diagrams. An index makes the manual easy to navigate.
A maintenance and repair for the home mechanic. It provides
step-by-step instructions for both simple maintenance and major
repairs.
Haynes manuals are written specifically for the do-it-yourselfer,
yet are complete enough to be used by professional mechanics. Since
1960 Haynes has produced manuals written from hands-on experience
based on a vehicle teardown with hundreds of photos and
illustrations, making Haynes the world leader in automotive repair
information.
"Curious about the specifications and particulars of a
canvas-covered, seat-of-the-pants biplane of the fledgling U.S.
Army Air Corps? Or a computer-laden, titanium-clad supersonic
modern jet? Here are 327 instant portraits (complete with
dimensions, weight, power plant, performance, armament) of the most
famous as well as lesser-known American fighters, bombers,
transports, flying boats, trainers, helicopters, and reconnaissance
aircraft."--BOOK JACKET. "Each entry includes a photograph of the
aircraft, service dates, manufacturer, records set, engineering and
performance history, technical innovations, and even operational
problems. Special attention is paid to the aircraft of America's
"Golden Age, " 1919-1939, and the important technological
developments that took place during that period."--BOOK JACKET.
Jim Reed has had a life of diverse adventure. From sending U-2's to
the North Pole, retrieving missiles in the open ocean, and a flying
and boating career that spanned the world, he has done just about
everything that you could pack into one lifetime. "Turning Final"
captures those adventures and shares it with all of us who dream of
meeting exciting challenges. This story is about a real life
pilot/sailor who accomplished things that most people only dream
about while at the same time he and his lovely wife raised a family
of four boys. His life truly spans the world.
In 1682, Charles II invited his scandalous younger brother, James,
Duke of York, to return from exile and take his rightful place as
heir to the throne. To celebrate, the future king set sail in a
fleet of eight ships destined for Edinburgh, where he would reunite
with his young pregnant wife. Yet disaster struck en route,
somewhere off the Norfolk coast. The royal frigate in which he
sailed, the Gloucester, sank, causing some two hundred sailors and
courtiers to perish. The diarist Samuel Pepys had been asked to
sail with James but refused the invitation, preferring to travel in
one of the other ships. Why? What did he know that others did not?
Nigel Pickford's compelling account of the catastrophe draws on a
richness of historical material including letters, diaries and
ships' logs, revealing for the first time the full drama and tragic
consequences of a shipwreck that shook Restoration Britain.
