Since 2003 the International Association for the History of Traffic, Transport and Mobility (T2M) has served as a trade-free zone, fostering a new interdisciplinary vitality in the now-flourishing study of the History of Mobility. In its Yearbook, Mobility in History, T2M surveys these developments in the form of a comprehensive state-of-the-art review of research in the field, presenting synopses of recent research, international reviews of research across many countries, thematic reviews, and retrospective assessments of classic works in the area. Mobility in History provides an essential and comprehensive overview of the current situation of Mobility studies. This volume has a special section on Bicycling, thematic articles on the electric car, tourism, and waiting as a part of mobility, and review articles organized geographically across 5 continents.

Jeff Hartman
R950 Discovery Miles 9 500 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

Understanding fuel injection and engine management systems is the key to extracting higher performance from today's automobiles in a safe, reliable, and driveable fashion.

Turbochargers, superchargers, nitrous oxide, high compression ratios, radical camshafts: all are known to make horsepower, but without proper understanding and control of fuel injection and other electronic engine management systems, these popular power-adders will never live up to their potential and, at worst, can cause expensive engine damage.

Drawing on a wealth of knowledge and experience and a background of more than 1,000 magazine articles on the subject, engine-control expert Jeff Hartman explains everything from the basics of fuel injection to the building of complex project cars. Hartman covers the latest developments in fuel-injection and engine management technology applied by both foreign and domestic manufacturers, including popular aftermarket systems.

No other book in the market covers the subject of engine management systems from as many angles and as comprehensively as this book.

Through his continuous magazine writing, author Jeff Hartman is always up-to-date with the newest fuel-injection and engine management products and systems.

R504 Discovery Miles 5 040 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

While admittedly somewhat limited (about the width and height of an aircraft windscreen) and woefully short of the "big picture," the pilot's perspective offers some unique insights into the vagaries of life. Those insights are presented in "This Is Your Captain Speaking" as a series of tales that, while amusing and lighthearted, give reason to pause and think.

Put your seatbacks into the full-upright and locked position, stow and lock your tray tables, and sit back and enjoy the ride.
