This is the ultimate guide to the classic automobile, in the
defining years from 1945 to 1985 - the period that for many marks
the pinnacle of automative engineering and design style. The
history of the development of the car is covered in detail - the
milestone models, leading designers, engineers and manufacturers
that came together to create so many classic cars. The directory
that follows is a visual reference of every important international
marque from A to Z, highlighting some of the most significant cars
of the century: the Ferrari Daytona, the Lincoln Continental, the
Rover 2000, the VW Beetle and the much-loved Mini. Full
descriptions, history and technical information on each car is
included, making this book the ultimate reference for every car
enthusiast and collector.
This guide provides all that the Skoda Felicia owner needs to know
to service and maintain their vehicle.
This book is focused on the street-naming politics, policies and
practices that have been shaping and reshaping the semantic,
textual and visual environments of urban Africa and Israel. Its
chapters expand on prominent issues, such as the importance of
extra-formal processes, naming reception and unofficial toponymies,
naming decolonisation, place attachment, place-making and the
materiality of street signage. By this, the book directly
contributes to the mainstreaming of Africa's toponymic cultures in
recent critical place-names studies. Unconventionally and
experimentally, comparative glimpses are made throughout between
toponymic experiences of African and Israeli cities, exploring
pioneering issues in the overwhelmingly Eurocentric research
tradition. The latter tends to be concentrated on Europe and North
America, to focus on nationalistic ideologies and regime change and
to over-rely on top-down 'mere' mapping and street indexing. This
volume is also unique in incorporating a rich and stimulating
variety of visual evidence from a wide range of African and Israeli
cities. The materiality of street signage signifies the profound
and powerful connections between structured politics, current
mundane practices, historical traditions and subaltern cultures.
Street-Naming Cultures in Africa and Israel is an important
contribution to urban studies, toponymic research and African
studies for scholars and students. Chapters 1 and 2 of this book

Follow the story of the touring caravan for over 100 years. From
its origins as a rich man's pastime in the early twentieth century,

vehicle of choice for many everyday families in the modern age.

joyful holidays, Andrew Jenkinson examines the evolution of the
touring caravan and its accessories in this beautifully illustrated
book.
CrossCountry Trains Ltd won the right to operate the CrossCountry
franchise from 11 November 2007 when the Strategic Rail Authority
determined that its bid for the franchise was the best value for
money and the most sustainable. CrossCountry operates the most
extensive passenger rail network in the UK covering 16 million
route miles per year; it also operates the longest rail service in
the UK - the 08:20 a.m. Aberdeen to Penzance (774 miles). Based in
the centre of England in Birmingham, the company serves seven of
the country's largest cities and provides 295 services every
weekday, which equates to around 30 million passenger journeys per
year. It also employs around 1,626 employees. The company does not
operate any stations itself, but CrossCountry's trains do call at
more than 119 stations stretching from Aberdeen in the north,
Stansted Airport in the east, Cardiff in the west and Penzance in
the south west. With Birmingham New Street at the hub, its services
crisscross the country in a similar pattern to that of the UK
motorway system.
Boatbuilding has been a traditional skill in Cornwall for many
hundreds of years. In the more sheltered waters of Carrick Roads,
on the leeward side of the Lizard peninsula, this tradition has
flourished almost since the dawn of time to the present day.
Pasco's Boatyard at St Just in Roseland has been in the forefront
of this tradition of boatbuilding, repairing, mooring and storing
boats for well over a quarter of a millennium. So much so that it
is part of the fabric of the south-west area of Cornwall. As a
strong commercial fishing area, Carrick Roads has led the way in
providing good quality seafood for the area and the wider nation as
a whole. Then as the move to larger mechanised fishing methods
gathered pace, the skills of the craftsmen at St Just were turned
towards the ever growing leisure and sporting section of the
sailing and boating community. Thanks to these skills and the
enthusiasm of the craftsmen at Pasco's, this tradition looks set to
continue for many decades to come.

Globally, we find ourselves in a novel set of circumstances where
our individual and collective relationships with leisure have
changed dramatically and are being dictated less by personal
preferences or even affluence, but rather by health, legal, and
societal factors. There is very little published work on changed
practices in leisure due to the pandemic, especially focusing on
activities that were previously considered ordinary and perhaps
even mundane. Contribute to the compilation of a historic record of
the way the pandemic has transformed various leisure behaviours in
diverse cultural and national contexts at this unprecedented time.
