The original Great Western Railway was the longest-lived mainline
railway company in Great Britain and has attracted generations of
admirers over its 112 years of existence. The reasons are manifold
- for example, the unparalleled civil engineering feats of Brunel,
the handsome locomotives with their copper-capped chimneys and
brass safety valve bonnets and nameplates coupled with their
superior efficiency and performance designed some 25 years in
advance of rival companies and its attractive holiday/leisure
destinations such as London, Bath, the Thames Valley, Cotswolds,
Cambrian Coast and West Country. It was a much-loved railway
company with its own individuality, determined to be different from
the others. The result was a unique style which this book aims to
portray.
England used to enjoy one of the most comprehensive railway
networks in Europe. By the last decade of the 19th century there
was hardly a hamlet in the land which could not be reached by train
itself or after a brief ride in a pony and trap from the nearest
station. However, the improved reliability and sheer convenience of
internal combustion engined road vehicles brought competition to
the railways which caused a steady and persistent decline in
freight and passengers throughout the second half of the 20th
century. By then the railways, initially funded by private
enterprise, had been nationalized as a state asset. This left the
state paying for trains which ran at a loss for lack of goods and
people to fill them. During the late 1950s and throughout the
1960s, successive governments sought to staunch this outflow of
funds by closing thousands of miles of railway lines and hundreds
of stations.Many of these were branch lines, that is a track
leaving the main line to serve a specific place but going no
further. At a stroke, large parts of the huge 19th-century civil
engineering effort which went into building the network were
redundant and, once any salvage of value was removed, duly
abandoned. By and large, it was not economic to reinstate the
cuttings, embankments and bridges built to give the most straight
and level route possible for each line.What is left of these
abandoned lines can offer rewarding walks through the heart of the
countryside, away from roads and traffic, rich in flora and fauna
and littered with dramatic examples of Victorian civil engineering.
In short, there is something to the taste of the routine walker and
the railway enthusiast. For either type they are best done twice,
once in summer and once in winter. The summer will show what grows
where the plow and the sprayer to not go, while the winter will
show the detail of what was built, well over a century ago. This
book features 12 of these walks throughout Gloucestershire and
Wiltshire.
The bus service we now have in London results from the momentous
events described in this book. Many people consider these events to
have been a necessary series of steps to get to where we are today.
London Transport changed from a monolithic state owned bus operator
to a tendering authority with competing operators owning buses and
employing front-line staff to run a public service. It is a very
political story. The early stages were at a time when a radical
Conservative government was determined to bring great change.
Privatisation became one of their key policies, and what happened
in London has been unique, as deregulation of buses in the rest of
the country has brought a very different set of experiences.

For more than 400 years, the big-gun warship stood as the supreme
naval war machine. It was not only a major instrument of warfare,
but a visible emblem of a nation's power, wealth and pride.
Battleships features 52 of the greatest warships to have sailed in
the last 500 years. Beginning with English king Henry VIII's
flagship, Henry Grace a Dieu, the book covers all the main periods
of battleship development, including the great sail ships, such as
Sovereign of the Seas, Santissima Trinidad and Victory. The advent
of steam-driven warships provides the core of the book, beginning
with the introduction of Gloire in 1859, and continuing through all
the major pre-Dreadnoughts, such as Inflexible, Maine and
Tsessarevitch. There is detailed coverage of the great battleships
of the two world wars, including Derfflinger, Yamato and Iowa,
while the book closes with the last new battleship to be
commissioned, Vanguard, in 1946. Each entry includes a brief
description of the battleship's development and history, a colour
profile artwork, key features and specifications. Packed with more
than 200 artworks and photographs, Battleships is a colourful guide
for the military historian and naval warfare enthusiast.
Urban High-Technology Zones offers essential planning insights for
our increasingly high-tech economy and society, looking at the role
the built environment plays, the policy factors that contribute to
their formation and growth, quality-of-life impacts of high tech
clusters on their surrounding communities, and economic geography.
Using a combination of advanced geospatial data-driven techniques
with evidence-based insights, the book provides quantitative
measures on high tech cluster’s social, environmental and
economic impacts. While findings are from drawn cities in the US,
the book’s spatial analyses, methodology, research conclusions
and literature reviews are generalizable to cities around the
world. Users will find numerous insights and guidance on the role
high-tech clusters play in how cities reach their economic growth
and social equity goals, making it a useful resource for academic
research and policy guidance.
