The Last Days of Second Generation EMUs on the Main Line
As time goes by, progression is always happening across the UK rail network, and a major aspect of this is the trains that operate on the network. The replacement of the trains is a significant part of this process. Train operating companies around the country periodically undertake the removal of some of their life-expired, older trains in preparation for newer, much more modern units to take over the day-to-day operations of passenger work as the numbers of people travelling on the railways rises every year. Once removed from service, the next destination of these units varies as they are either transferred, stored or sent for scrap.With fascinating illustrations and informative captions, Adam Head looks at the final months of a variety of elderly EMUs operating all over the UK network in their many different liveries and locations.
Landcrabs and 3-Litres
Affectionately named the Landcrab, the BMC 1800 was the largest of three ranges designed by Sir Alec Issigonis in the late 1950s and early 1960s. As innovative in its own way, the 1800 followed the successful Mini and 1100 and was highly praised for its Hydrolastic suspension and the vast interior space made possible by front-wheel drive. This big family saloon also tasted success in motor sport, and went on to have six-cylinder derivatives, of which the earliest examples were developed in Australia for local sale.Much of the 1800 design was re-employed for a new luxury model, the Austin 3-Litre, which had rear-wheel drive to suit its more conservative market. Sadly, less successful than the 1800, the 3-Litre promised much but never quite delivered – and the plans for rebadged versions, and even a Bentley derivative, were not pursued.Both these cars had important places in the story of the British car industry in the 1960s, and both of them have a following among classic-car enthusiasts today.Acclaimed motoring historian James Taylor details these vehicles in this highly informative and beautifully illustrated account.

Under a Metal Sky
'A book of breathtaking wealth and depth... Marsden takes the history of metals and, from it, creates a dazzling history of humanity and our relationship with this planet. It can only be alchemy'Tom Bullough, author of Sarn HelenThe discovery of minerals beneath our feet has transformed our species. Ochre first prompted humans to express themselves in art; tin and copper helped instigate the Bronze Age and later the Industrial Revolution; silver kick-started the engines of global trade. Each of these substances generated a leap forward in technology, each one opened the imagination a little further - and each one brought with it a cache of unexpected dangers. Under A Metal Sky begins and ends in Philip Marsden's homeland of Cornwall, one of the world's great geological hotspots.Travelling eastwards into Europe, he examines how the extraction of peat propelled the Netherlands to world prominence but also imperilled its very existence. Continuing on up the Rhine by barge, into the heart of the continent, he uncovers more stories of potent and tempting resources, from iron-rich meteorites to radium and mercury, and the gold-bearing mountains of Georgia. At the same time he explores precious seams of ideas, from science to alchemy, mysticism to ecology - and those questing souls who pursued them, likeParacelsus, the Habsburg Emperor Rudolf II, Goethe,William Blake and Marie Curie. Rich with revelations, Under A Metal Sky traces the dazzling achievements and dark consequences of our ability to extract what we want from the earth, and presents a fascinating new perspective on European history and on our troubled relationship with the natural world. 'A luminously rich exploration of the mineral wonderland beneath our feet. Imaginatively travelled and beautiful written'Colin Thubron

On the Grid
'On the Grid is incredibly special. I loved every thoughtfully written word' Will Buxton 'Luke is one of the foremost journalists within the paddock. His book draws the curtain back on our sport... Very few titles have covered the stories of the unsung members of the F1 community in this level of detail and with such vibrancy' Toto Wolff 'Even if you think you know everything there is to know about Formula 1, you'll learn something within these pages'GP Racing Formula 1 might only have twenty drivers in its most elite competition, but each is supported by a world-class team of mechanics, engineers, strategists, party planners and much more. In On the Grid journalist Luke Smith takes us behind the scenes of the past, present and future of the sport, telling its story through the eyes of the people who create it, including the all-important fans. We see thrilling drama, cutting-edge technology, the stress and the glamour. Smith takes us to the starting grid, full of engine fumes and sweat, to yacht parties in Monaco and to the pit lane for the critical mid-race decisions. We see how a fifty-pence screw in the wrong place could cause a £15m car to break down, how F1 has influenced not just the cars we drive but life-saving medical equipment and even croissants, how you create a Grand Prix track from scratch. On the Grid shows us what it’s like to work in a high-pressure and inherently dangerous sport; showcases the personalities that give it such drama and intrigue; examines how the sport is addressing its critics around inclusivity and environmental impact. For both long-time fans and newcomers, what results is the definitive, access-all-areas account of what makes F1 stand alone in world sport.

Lovecké příběhy z Beskyd
Příběhy myslivců a jejich psích kamarádů
Není pro myslivce krásnější chvíle, než se procházet ztichlým lesem ve společnosti jediného opravdového přítele – loveckého psa. Autor vypráví zejména příběhy zkušených loveckých psů, starých mazáků, kteří se vyznají v lese a v lovu. Příběhy psů s krví čistou jak křišťál, ale i těch, jejichž krev je naředěna všelijakými příměsemi psů obyčejných, přesto si na lovecké stezce nezadají. Jsou to i málo pravdě podobné příběhy o psech s očima ohnivýma a se srstí černou jako noc.
Ne nadarmo se říká, že pes je nejlepším přítelem člověka. O to pevnější je vazba mezi loveckým psem a jeho pánem – myslivcem. Výraz pán není nejpříhodnější, spíš přítel.
Jedno je jisté: pokud budou lovci a lovečtí psi, bude mezi nimi existovat obdivuhodné pouto přátelství.
Kachny, polekané výstřelem, vytáčely ve vzduchu široký oblouk, rychle se dostávaly mimo střelecké pole. Viktor se musel za letkou pootočit. Zamířil, potáhl hlaveň po směru letu, stiskl kohoutek… Dřevo lávky, na které stál, bylo zpuchřelé. Střelec nedržel loveckou pušku příliš pevně, pažba ho tvrdě udeřila do čelisti, rána ho srazila do vody. Poslední, co viděl, bylo, jak se Lusy v mohutném skoku vzpíná nad hladinou rybníka. Voda jí z dlouhé srsti crčí jako napěněný závoj, slechy napřímené, tělo vypjaté do oblouku, mordu dychtivě rozevřenou okamžik předtím, než uchopí výstřelem sraženou kachnu.
Voda byla nepříjemná, hrozně studená. Ten protivný pocit Viktor vnímal celým tělem. Nejhorší však bylo, že pod hladinou ztratil orientaci, kudy nejblíž ke břehu. Ztěžklé oblečení ho táhlo ke dnu. Takhle umřít jsem nechtěl, napadlo ho, takhle ne. Stále se nemohl dostat nad hladinu. Pak se přece odrazil od bahnitého dna. Konečně se jedna ruka, pak druhá dobývala nad hladinu, ale to už ho zase táhlo mokré oblečení ke dnu, nezadržitelně klesal níž. Když se napůl omráčený Viktor znovu přiblížil k hladině, ucítil, jak se mu cosi zahryzlo do límce. To byla Lusy. Nechala střelenou kachnu kachnou a přispěchala Viktorovi na pomoc…
Living with Lynx
This book investigates a vital and controversial question for conservation and rewilding in Britain and Ireland: could and should we learn to live with lynx, wolves and bears again? We travel back in time, around the world and into the future to explore this contested topic. The author delves deep into the human psyche, considering not only his own mixed feelings about large carnivore reintroductions but also why people have such polarised perspectives on top predators. He brings his unique combination of expertise on snow leopards ? and their relationship with humans ? along with his experience as a farmer to illustrate the discussion. Along the way, we meet a cast of characters from across society, including farmers, rewilders and everyone in between. It becomes clear that coexistence is as much about sharing landscapes with each other as it is about sharing them with wildlife. The first book to tackle this subject in detail, based on more than 50 interviews in/from seven countries, Coexistence will be of relevance to anyone with an interest in the future of nature, farming and the countryside. Personal, detailed, unflinching and engaging, it will add a great deal to this rapidly evolving debate.

The second half of the book visits 12 enchanting coastal houses, cottages and hideaways, from Norfolk to New England. Wherever you live, Relaxed Coastal Style will inspire you to adopt the relaxed, informal simplicity of life by the sea.
