Each 96 page, hard cover book in the series is 10 1/2" x 7 5/8" and
contains color and black and white photos, drawings, charts, and
catalog facsimiles. Each classic model is presented in its historic
and developmental aspects.
Ron Gluck, bush pilot and international relations liaison,
glances back in time, anecdotally revisiting flying, language gems,
and conversation slices occurring from 1963 to 2007 in Papua New
Guinea, Cameroon, Washington, D.C., and New York City.
He flew five thousand accident-free hours mostly in single
engine planes over uncharted mountainous terrain of Papua New
Guinea and later in charted Cameroon. The safety he attributes to
God's grace and to superb maintenance by fellow JAARS
specialists.
The incidents revisited were central to events that took place
but were never scrutinized. Dismissed as coincidence, they were
accepted as "how things worked out." In his review, Gluck suggests
a continuing role of the Creator in the world today in ways seldom
discussed, but alluded to with these questions.
Is not the living God, maker of heaven and earth, still involved
in weather, ideas, timing, and answering prayers?
Doesn't He who gives life also sustain heartbeats and breathing
in every living being, including those reading this profile?
"What a precious manuscript ...just now finished reading it and
did not want it to end."

"Reading your book at same time as John 7:18. You've glorified
Him."

"Your Lamnso story showed how Bible translators have given one
isolated culture after another a giant step forward, reducing their
speech to texts that can then be read by others. No wonder the
Lamnso were thrilled, and deeply grateful "
--Robert Park, professor emeritus of law, the George Washington
University

The Rest of The Edsel Affair is the second of two books that tells
the story, from a highly publicized beginning to a barely noticed
ending, of the Edsel automobile, introduced by Ford Motor Company
in 1957. The Edsel was unusual in that it introduced a vertical
front design with wide, horizontal tail lights. The engineers
designed brakes that could be tightened by reversing the car while
pumping the brake pedal (still a feature of cars today) and
shifting the transmission by pushing buttons on the steering wheel.
C Gayle Warnock, the Division's Public Relations Director and
responsible for the car's public introduction, told the first part
of this interesting story in The Edsel Affair published in 1980.
Now, he returns with the rest of the story, beginning with why and
when the car's abolishment was first recommended to the Company's
Executive Committee, and who made the suggestion. The author then
traces the beginning and the rapid growth of the three Edsel Clubs,
the popularity of the car as a "collectible" and the car's Golden
Anniversary party in Dearborn, MI in 2007. The Rest of The Edsel
Affair is entertaining and reads like a personal letter from home.
Even if you don't have an Edsel, or ever heard of it, you will
enjoy the surprising details and enduring stories in this
historical tale.
Die Schweiz verfügt über eines der dichtesten Eisenbahnnetze der
Welt. Dies ist keine Selbstverständlichkeit: Nach dem Zweiten
Weltkrieg wurden in fast allen Industrieländern zahlreiche
Eisenbahnstrecken stillgelegt. Der motorisierte Individualverkehr
triumphierte über das Massenverkehrsmittel aus dem 19.
Jahrhundert. Dennoch blieben bei den Schweizer Eisenbahnen
Streckenschliessungen grösseren Stils aus. Das Buch untersucht die
Antwort der Schweizerischen Politik auf die vermeintliche Agonie
der Eisenbahnen vom Ende des Zweiten Weltkriegs bis in die frühen
1980er-Jahre. Die Basis hierzu bildet eine quantitative Analyse der
Schweizerischen Eisenbahnwirtschaft, gefolgt von der Darstellung
eines umstrittenen Stilllegungsfalles mit Signalwirkung für die
gesamtschweizerische Gesetzgebung. Der Politikvollzug, der von der
Abkehr von reinen Wirtschaftlichkeitskriterien bei der
Eisenbahnsubventionierung und der opportunistischen Ausdehnung der
Staatshilfen auf einen grösseren Empfängerkreis geprägt war,
bildet einen weiteren Schwerpunkt. Die Darstellung wird durch die
Analyse der Triebkräfte hinter dem Wandel der Schweizerischen
Bundesbahnen vom gemeinwirtschaftlichen Verwaltungsunternehmen zum
ökologischen Massenverkehrsmittel mit einer ausgeprägten
Management-Kultur vervollständigt.
This book is concerned with the steady state hydraulics of natural
gas and other compressible fluids being transported through
pipelines. Our main approach is to determine the flow rate possible
and compressor station horsepower required within the limitations
of pipe strength, based on the pipe materials and grade. It
addresses the scenarios where one or more compressors may be
required depending on the gas flow rate and if discharge cooling is
needed to limit the gas temperatures. The book is the result of
over 38 years of the authors' experience on pipelines in North and
South America while working for major energy companies such as
ARCO, El Paso Energy, etc.

The four volumes of the encyclopedia of Cameroon aviation law are
intended for students, lawyers, judges, scholars, and readers of
all backgrounds with an interest in aviation law and to provide the
definitive corpus of relevant national and regional legislation,
including global aviation treaties and legislation, to enable all
readers, without exception, to develop the background, knowledge,
and tools to understand local, regional, and international aviation
law in a contextual fashion. The first volume has a detailed text
of country legislation, including national cases and materials,
while the second volume focuses on international aviation law
treaties, international cases and materials, and Aircraft Refueling
Indemnity (Tarbox) Agreements.
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 Yamaha YZF-R6,
model years 1999 through 2002. 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.
