Joint Railways: Eastern and Southern England
The pre-Grouping Companies were fiercely competitive and would defend any incursion by another company penetrating what they considered to be their ‘territories’. Nevertheless, at times they would cooperate. This cooperation resulted in a large number of joint lines. These joint lines ranged from fully independent operations, complete with their own staffs, locomotives and rolling stock, to short lengths of railway used by the joint companies, the cost of maintenance of which was shared.There were more than seventy of these joint lines, and all feature in this series by popular railway author Patrick Bennett. This volume focuses on those found in eastern and southern England.
Rise of the Zombie Bugs
Zombies aren't just the stuff of nightmares. Explore the fascinating world of real-life insect zombification. Zombies are all around us—insect zombies, that is. In Rise of the Zombie Bugs, Mindy Weisberger explores the eerie yet fascinating phenomenon of real-life zombification in the insect class and among other invertebrates. Zombifying parasites reproduce by rewriting their victims' neurochemistry, transforming them into the "walking dead": armies of cicadas, spiders, and other hosts that helplessly follow a zombifier's commands, living only to serve the parasite's needs until death's sweet release (and often beyond). Through vivid descriptions and captivating storytelling, Weisberger explains the sinister mechanics of nature's most cunning survival strategies, including the biological marvels and evolutionary intricacies behind zombie ants, mind-controlled beetles, and the fungi and viruses that reprogram their hosts' behavior. Blending scientific rigor with a flair for the macabre, Weisberger takes readers on a global journey—from Brazilian rainforests to European meadows—to uncover the dark secrets of parasitic manipulation. Her examination of these creatures seeks to answer fundamental questions of their existence: why is a bug's world full of zombies, why are arthropods so susceptible to this zombification, and could the creators of zombie bugs ever evolve to do the same to people? Perfect for fans of horror and science alike, Rise of the Zombie Bugs offers a chilling yet enlightening look at the hidden world of parasites. It's a must-read for anyone curious about the true terrors lurking in nature's undergrowth and the unnerving beauty of evolution's darker side.
Peugeot 404
Launched in 1960 with design by Pininfarina, the Peugeot 404 proved to be a highly successful model that helped to enhance Peugeot’s reputation for building durable cars. In this readable and comprehensive book, Peugeot 404 expert and registrar Rhys Nolan covers the development of all of the Peugeot 404 models and variants, both in France and abroad. He describes the many changes that were made to the 404 models over the years, including the introduction of new engines and how Peugeot worked with Mercedes to introduce diesel engines to family cars. He examines the many variants on the basic saloon model, including the Commerciale, Break and seven-seat family estate cars. In 1961, a convertible was launched and widely praised for its elegant design. The 404 was exported to countries in the African continent, where the car’s strong suspension and durability made it extremely popular, and Argentina, where it was manufactured under licence. It went on to enjoy success in the East African Safari, which it won four times, and in Pan-American and Argentinian circuit racing.Including helpful advice for enthusiasts and owners, this is a concise, accessible and authoritative guide to a car once described as among the best in the world.
A vadászat
A vadászat, az a legnemesebb férfias sport, melynek gyakorlására sok kedvező alkalmunk van s melyben világviszonylatba is letagadhatatlanul elsők vagyunk. Nem akarom - hosszadalmas is lenne - felsorolni azoknak a neveit, kik galamblövő világversenyeken, külföldi, tropikus vadászatokon szereztek sok dicsőséget a magyar vadászpuskának és tudománynak, csupán azt említem meg, hogy utóbbi időben sok alakalmunk nyílt a nyugati nagy államok jobb vadászaival együtt áldozni Diana istenasszonynak s Európa legbüszkébb nemzetének fiai jelentették ki, hogy tudomásuk volt a magyar vadász fölényéről, de azt, hogy ily nagy a különbség, nem gondolták. Mi úgyszólván vadásznak születünk, egymástól tanuljuk el a vadászat tudományát. Több vadásztársam kérésére, nehezen vettem kezembe a tollat, hogy egy szerény, hézagpótló vadászkönyvet írjak; éreztem, hogy sok magyar vadász többet tud nálamnál, de még lustább író, mint én. így bízva örökölt vadászképességemben, egy emberi élet lefolyása alatt gyűjthető elméleti és gyakorlati ismereteimben, jó barátaim támogatásában és olvasóim jóindulatában, útnak indítom e kis munkát. A könyv az 1935-ös kiadás reprint változata.

The Settle to Carlisle Line
The railway route between Settle and Carlisle in the North West of England is one of the most scenic lines in Britain. Crossing moors and mountainside, through the Yorkshire Dales and the North Pennines, the line is famous for its spectacular views, its tunnels and its viaducts, not least the legendary Ribblehead Viaduct. This remarkable feat of Victorian engineering was under threat of closure by British Rail in the 1980s. Campaigners fought hard to keep it open and today growing numbers of passengers travel the line, closed stations have reopened and the line carries many steam-operated specials and charter trains as well as regular passenger and freight workings from Settle Junction on the Leeds–Morecambe Line to Carlisle near the England–Scotland border.In this book photographer John Bentley captures the variety of workings to be seen on this line and its beautiful scenery over the last decade alongside a selection of images taken when the line’s future was in doubt in the 1980s.

Jedlé zahrady a zahrádky 1 - Zelenina
Nezáleží, jestli má vaše zahrada 20, 200 nebo 2000 čtverečných metrů. Zásadní je, kolik péče ji s ohledem na očekávání věnujete. To vám vzkazuje zkušený odborník Ing. Ivan Dvořák, který pravidelně přispívá do časopisu Zahrádkář. Díky více než čtyřicetileté praxi se své poznatky rozhodl shrnout do dvou dílů knihy Jedlé zahrady a zahrádky. První díl se věnuje výhradně zelenině. 350 stran textu, více než 250 fotografií a užitečné informace na celý zahrádkářský rok!
Ivan Dvořák zúročuje roky vlastní pěstební činnosti i případy, s nimiž se setkal během svých přednášek a poradenství na výstavách, veletrzích a také na ústředí Českého zahrádkářského svazu. Jednoduše a pochopitelně v knize Jedlé zahrady a zahrádky 1 vysvětluje základy výsadby či výsevu a péče, plánování výnosů, ochrany před škůdci nebo rozmary počasí. Svérázným jazykem popisuje časté chyby nebo úskalí vedoucí k očekávané sklizni. Větší prostor však dostávají jeho doporučení vyzkoušená v letité praxi.
Seznámíte se s obvyklými druhy, které mají úspěch na zeleninových políčkách (ve druhém dílu i v ovocných sadech). Pozornost ale zaměřuje i na relativně nové druhy vhodné díky bohaté úrodě i na menší zahrádky. Ing. Dvořák se věnuje také minimalistickým konceptům zahrádek, vhodných pro města nebo pro začínající zahrádkáře.

Storm’s Edge
'A surprising page-turner, full of humour and startling details' THE TIMES 'If I read a better history this year, I will be lucky' TOM HOLLAND 'An astonishing tour de force’ SPECTATOR Shortlisted for the HWA Nonfiction Crown Award Longlisted for the Highland Book Prize From Peter Marshall, winner of the 2018 Wolfson Prize, Storm’s Edge is a new history of the Orkney Islands that delves deep into island politics, folk beliefs and community memory on the geographical edge of Britain. Peter Marshall was born in Orkney. His ancestors were farmers and farm labourers on the northern island of Sanday – where, in 1624, one of them was murdered by a witch. In an expansive and enthralling historical account, Marshall looks afresh at a small group of islands that has been treated as a mere footnote, remote and peripheral, and in doing so invites us to think differently about key events of British history. With Orkney as our point of departure, Marshall traverses three dramatic centuries of religious, political and economic upheaval: a time when what we think of as modern Scotland, and then modern Britain, was being forged and tested. Storm's Edge is a magisterial history, a fascinating cultural study and a mighty attestation to the importance of placing the periphery at the centre. Britain is a nation composed of many different islands, but too often we focus on just one. This book offers a radical alternative, encouraging us to reorient the map and travel with Peter Marshall through landscapes of forgotten history.

Desert by Design
Desert by Design celebrates the interior worlds that exist in Earth’s most arid climes and, more importantly, the creative minds who inhabit them Marfa, Texas-based desert dwellers Molly Mandell and James Burke traveled the world to explore and photograph thirty incredible spaces. They made their way through the southwestern United States, to Mexico and Argentina, and to Morocco, Jordan, the Canary Islands, Rajasthan India, and even a micro-desert in New Zealand. They visited high desert and low desert, urban desert and rural desert, sandy desert and scrubby desert. They photographed everything from iconic properties inhabited by Yves Saint Laurent, César Manrique, and Donald Judd to thoughtfully curated, centuries-old adobe structures and modern, groundbreaking ones, all the while interviewing the choreographers, hoteliers, sculptors, environmentalists, chefs, audio engineers, and preservationists who bring them to life. This gorgeous coffee table book is an ode to these landscapes—their sounds, smells, flora, and fauna—filled with equal parts mystery and beauty and a glimpse into the projects and lives of those who have chosen to call them home.Desert by Design—its genuine, beautiful, and unexpected approach—is not your average interiors book. From tips for cultivating the intimate and unpretentious environment that is synonymous with the desert to images that evoke mindful living, it is both an homage to this unique and dynamic climate—its most extraordinary places and memorable personalities—and a manual for adopting elements of this lifestyle, no matter our location. Yes, this publication is for desert people, those who reside in it or who simply resonate with it. But it likewise exists for all of us who are seeking authentic design inspiration or courage to take the path less traveled, regardless of where we hang our hats. Deserts are known to be sensitive ecosystems where adaptability and resilience become common currency, requiring humans to live within the environment rather than apart from it. The result is a people who are inspired by challenge and who constantly create and innovate.
