Heathrow Airport
During the post-war years, Heathrow Airport became the country’s leading aviation hub. This book examines how this was achieved, from the airport’s opening on 1 January 1946 until the transfer of long-haul services to the Central Area in the late 1950s. This period included the operations of BOAC up to the introduction of the Comet 4, the world’s first commercial jet liner, as well as many foreign airlines that have since ceased to exist.Charles Woodley explores Heathrow’s fascinating story through rare and previously unpublished illustrations and informative text, providing a nostalgic look back at a golden era of aviation history.
Italian Cars
This volume traces more than 150 years of Italian automotive history from the Maserati 3500GT, the Lamborghini Countach, and the Alfa Romeo 33 Stradale all the way up to the electrified supercars and new hypercars of our future, like the Pagani Utopia, Pininfarina Battista, and Estrema Fulminea. The automobile is one of the symbols of Made in Italy around the world. Its success is the result of the genius and creativity of a select group of Italians, and a culture and history that has allowed the country to set the standard for good taste through great intuition and revolutionary creations. It is true that the automobile was born in Germany, but it was in Italy that the first internal combustion engine was invented, in 1853, thanks to Eugenio Barsanti and Felice Matteucci. This book tells the story of the Italian automobile through ever-changing conditions. The chapters follow a chronological format that reviews social, economic, and political factors, both in Italy and internationally, as well as the various eras of the Italian car and its development based on design generations and mechanical innovation.
Barry Scrapyard in the Late 1970s and Early 1980s
Growing up in north-west London in the 1950s and living alongside a busy freight line, the seed for a fascination with steam was firmly planted in the young Geoff Barker’s head. Later in life he was able to visit Barry Scrapyard and recorded the locos seen there over a seven-year period from 1977 to 1983. He then went back in the early 1990s to photograph every last remaining locomotive. Those holiday stop-offs at the famous scrapyard created a wonderful photographic record of a unique place.Through this selection of striking images and informative captions, Geoff Barker and David Holland celebrate this long-gone but much-cherished scrapyard.

Kombinovanie rastlín: Permakultúra v praxi
Prečo je dobré v blízkosti jahôd zasadiť cesnak? Alebo cibuľu vedľa uhoriek? A naopak, prečo nie je vhodné pestovať zemiaky vedľa paradajok?
Rastliny, ktoré rastú v bezprostrednej blízkosti, sa navzájom ovplyvňujú a majú na seba pozitívne alebo negatívne účinky. Ak to dokážete využiť, môžete sa tešiť na bohatšiu, chutnejšiu a zdravšiu úrodu. Dostanete pod kontrolu škodcov, burinu a to všetko aj bez chemických postrekov či hnojív.
Zmiešané pestovanie je forma ekologického záhradníctva, pri ktorej sa rastliny vysádzajú tak, aby si navzájom prirodzene prospievali a posilňovali sa. Sestra Christa Weinrich je jednou z najuznávanejších odborníčok v oblasti kombinovania rastlín. Čerpá z tradície a poznatkov opátstva vo Fulde, kde sa mníšky už pred vyše 70 rokmi rozhodli pestovať zeleninu, ovocie, kvety či bylinky bez použitia chemických prípravkov. Pozorovali, ktorým rastlinám sa vedľa seba darí, a ktorým nie, čo im prospieva a čo škodí. Bio ovocie a organickú zeleninu pestovali dávno predtým, než sa tieto výrazy vôbec začali používať.
Sestra Christa v knihe vysvetľuje zásady kombinovaného pestovania v zeleninovej, ovocnej a kvetinovej záhrade. Uvádza množstvo príkladov, rád, tabuliek a návodov, ako striedať a kombinovať rastliny, ako ich prirodzenou cestou posilniť a dopestovať si zdravé ovocie i zeleninu.

Honey Bee Social Evolution
What the honey bee can teach us about evolution—and ourselves. How did the honey bee evolve into the complex colonial species that exists today—and what does its evolution have to teach us about our own species? In Honey Bee Social Evolution, entomologist Keith Delaplane uses the humble but charismatic honey bee as a model of social evolution to highlight the many parallels a social insect colony shares with humans and other organisms. Delaplane shows how social processes drive evolution—for honey bee colonies, humans, and other animals. Each chapter spotlights a honey bee colony-level function such as group-level reproduction, task differentiation among cells, group decision-making, social immunity, defense behavior, senescence, anarchy, cancer, and more—all with stunning parallels to those of other organisms. These vivid comparisons, grounded in a practical context, emphasize how natural selection uses a common tool kit to solve similar problems across lineages. By revealing the complex hive of similarities between the honey bee's society and our own, Delaplane hopes to instill an ethos of solidarity with all organic life. The honey bee colony shows how evolution is more than selfish "survival of the fittest," but equally a story of the success of cooperation and altruism.

A Natural History of Empty Lots
An "instant classic", this genre-bending blend of naturalism, memoir, and social manifesto is a fascinating study for rewilding the city, the self, and society (Jeff VanderMeer, New York Times bestselling author). During the real estate crash of the late 2000s, Christopher Brown purchased an empty lot in an industrial section of Austin, Texas. The property—abandoned and full of litter and debris—was an unlikely site for a home. Brown had become fascinated with these empty lots around Austin, so-called “ruined” spaces once used for agriculture and industry awaiting their redevelopment. He discovered them to be teeming with natural activity, and embarked on a twenty-year project to live in and document such spaces. There, in our most damaged landscapes, he witnessed the remarkable resilience of wild nature, and how we can heal ourselves by healing the Earth. Beautifully written and philosophically hard-hitting, A Natural History of Empty Lots offers a new lens on human disruption and nature, offering a sense of hope among the edgelands. “Brown lives far from any conventional battlefield, but he is surrounded by the wreckage of a different war, and he, too, finds hope in cultivating the ruins of nature…A Natural History of Empty Lots is less a departure from the nature writing tradition than a welcome addition to its edgelands.” —New York Review of Books "The nature writing we need now." —Michelle Nijhuis, author of Beloved Beasts"Incredible" —Kelly Link, Pulitzer Prize finalist

Born of Fire and Rain
Go beyond the scenery of the Pacific temperate rainforest to witness how complex ecosystems survive in a world of upheavalsWinner, National Outdoor Book Award • Finalist, Oregon Book Award • CHOICE Outstanding Academic TitleIf you live on a rapidly changing planet, you’d be wise to learn how it works. The giant old forests on a skinny stretch of land on the far west coast of North America have a lot to say about living in a twitchy world. In this engaging book science writer M. L. Herring takes readers into the Pacific temperate rainforest at the tumultuous edge of a shifting continent in a precarious moment of time. Readers peek behind the magnificent scenery into a forest of ancient trees, exploding mountains, disappearing owls, tsunamis, megafires, and ten million people to learn what it means to be a forest in a world of upheavals. Through Herring’s words and pictures, readers drift into the canopy through masses of ferns and lichens, burrow into soil through hair-thin threads of fungi, and plunge headlong through a watershed flushed with rain and snowmelt. Readers experience the temperate rainforest through science and art as it faces a shifting climate and the shifting priorities of a constantly changing society. The book journeys beyond the grid of latitude and longitude and into places only one’s imagination can fit, to discover what it means to be human in an ecological world.
Into the Great Wide Ocean
A seagoing scientist explores how life thrives in one of the most mysterious environments on EarthThe open ocean, far from the shore and miles above the seafloor, is a vast and formidable habitat that is home to the most abundant life on our planet, from giant squid and jellyfish to anglerfish with bioluminescent lures that draw prey into their toothy mouths. Into the Great Wide Ocean takes readers inside the peculiar world of the seagoing scientists who are providing tantalizing new insights into how the animals of the open ocean solve the problems of their existence. Sönke Johnsen vividly describes how life in the water column of the open sea contends with a host of environmental challenges, such as gravity, movement, the absence of light, pressure that could crush a truck, catching food while not becoming food, finding a mate, raising young, and forming communities. He interweaves stories about the joys and hardships of the scientists who explore this beautiful and mysterious realm, which is under threat from human activity and rapidly changing before our eyes. Into the Great Wide Ocean presents the sea and its inhabitants as you have never seen them before and reminds us that the rules of survival in the open ocean, though they may seem strange to us, are the primary rules of life on Earth.
