Mamba & Mambacita Forever


A beautiful and moving testament to the enduring life of Kobe Bryant and the Mamba Mentality.When Kobe and Gianna Bryant died, tragically and unexpectedly, in 2020, the world mourned with a wholehearted ferocity. In perhaps the largest and most intense outpouring of public art the world has ever seen, murals went up on seemingly every available wall in Los Angeles and around the globe. The paintings were both professional and amateur, some public and some private, many of them colossal. All of them expressed love and respect for Kobe and Gianna Bryant as athletes, as a father and daughter, as heroes who will not be forgotten.In Mamba & Mambacita Forever, Vanessa Bryant brings together the images and stories of more than a hundred murals honoring her husband and daughter. Taken together, what emerges is the story of a man who became even more than he himself could have imagined, an avatar of determination, discipline, and competitiveness. He was also a worldwide icon, one of the greatest athletes of our time, a man committed to his family and to fatherhood. Kobe was a figure of transformation and hope.Mamba & Mambacita Forever ensures that the legacy of Kobe and Gianna Bryant will live on even after the most monumental murals themselves have all crumbled.

40 Motoring Heroes


> How did an English pub inspire a legendary road safety feature?> Which F1 driver had to wear leg braces as a young boy in hospital, yet started his own winning team?> What prompted a young woman from Alabama to invent the windscreen wiper?> Who was the “bloody fool” from Yorkshire who master-minded the VW Beetle’s rise from the ashes of the Second World War?40 Motoring Heroes offers a fact-filled, illustrated insight into motoring history, not only for petrol heads and motoring enthusiasts, but anyone with a passion for fascinating people. The little-known men and women featured include inventors, innovators, engineers, financiers, and others at the sharp end of automotive and social history. Their stories shine a light on ingenuity, determination, fights against prejudice, and even bravery, self-sacrifice and destitution. Of course, being a motoring hero does not equate with sainthood or even likeability; a fair number of the book’s subjects demonstrated unpleasant human qualities but we acknowledge their professional achievements. Not all made fortunes out of their ideas, but their ideas added to the wealth of our enjoyment of motoring. Compelling, intriguing and full of surprise, the must-read biographies in 40 Motoring Heroes showcase the struggles, adversity and perseverance of these motoring marvels.

Have a Good Trip


From a much-loved expert and popular science writer comes this straight-from-the-trenches report on how and why folks from all walks of life are using magic mushrooms to enhance their lives.Interest in psychedelic mushrooms has never been greater ? or the science less definitive. Popular science writer and amateur mycologist Eugenia Bone reports on the state of psychedelics today, from microdosing to heroic trips, illustrating how ?citizen science? and anecdotal accounts of the mushrooms? benefits are leading the new wave of scientific inquiry into psilocybin. With her signature blend of first-person narrative and scientific rigor, Bone breaks down just how the complicated cocktail of psychoactive compounds is thought to interact with our brain chemistry. She explains how mindset and setting can impact a trip ? whether therapeutic, spiritual/mystical, or simply pleasure seeking ? and vividly evokes the personalities and protocols that populate the tripping scene, from the renegade ??Noccers? of Washington who merrily disperse magic mushroom spores around Seattle, to the indigenous curanderas who conduct traditional ceremonies in remote Mexican villages. Throughout she shares her journey through the world of mushrooms, cultivating her own stash, grappling with personal challenges, and offering the insights she gleaned from her experiences. For both seasoned trippers and the merely mushroom curious, Have a Good Trip offers a balanced, entertaining, and provocative look at this rapidly evolving cultural phenomenon.

Steam Around the East Midlands in the 1960s


The 1960s saw the final hurrah of steam on the railways – the final period of steam-powered locomotives dominating the main line. This meant that a colourful array of traffic could be found across the length and breadth of Great Britain, and an army of enthusiasts both young and old dutifully recorded the nation’s rail scene. Here, in the first of a new series of book celebrating the steam of 1960s Britain, Keith W. Platt looks back at the wide range of traffic that could be found all around the railways of the East Midlands.Packed with previously unpublished images, this is a book that will delight anybody with memories of steam around the East Midlands or an enthusiasm for the area’s railways or history.

Preserved Tramcars in Britain


The earliest tramcars were horse-drawn and originated during the Victorian era, a large portion of them eventually being replaced with electric vehicles (which themselves were phased out or replaced by trolleybuses). A number of these tramcars have been restored and preserved and continue to be run by museums all around the world, with a fairly significant number based in Britain. Several tramcar bodies were sold to farmers and other individuals when the systems they were running on closed down. These bodies were used for a variety of purposes – chicken houses, lambing pens and houses/holiday homes. A large number have since been recovered and restored and in many cases have been returned to their original condition and are running once again on heritage sites.Royston Morris’ vibrant images feature those tramcars that have been preserved (in one form or another) and can be seen across the country.

Ipswich Town


In 1960, Ipswich Town FC under manager Alf Ramsey started their season in the Second Division. At the end of the 1960-61 season Ipswich were promoted as champions immediately and went on to win the First Division in their first year in the top division. Ipswich Town had embarked on the most extraordinary two decades in its history. Alf Ramsey left soon after to become England manager and after a few years in the doldrums, the appointment of Bobby Robson as manager in 1969 inaugurated another period of greatness for the club. In 1973-4 Ipswich finished fourth in the league and reached and over the next eight years were to win the FA Cup, finishing only once below sixth in the league, and win the UEFA Cup. Throughout this era the club were guided by the local Cobbold family’s chairmanship. In 1982 Bobby Robson departed, to become England manager, and although the club has had some successes since then, nothing at Portman Road has rivalled the glory days of Ipswich Town from 1960 to 1982 - an era fondly remembered by fans of the club.

Airbus A350


The Airbus A350 is a two-engine, long-range, wide-body airliner, which was launched in 2006, partly in response to Boeing’s development of the 787 Dreamliner. It is available in three variants: A350-900, A350-900ULR and A350-1000. Over 70 per cent of the airframe is constructed from composite materials of carbon, titanium and aluminium alloys leading to a light structure which, when combined with the latest generation Rolls-Royce XWB turbofans, has resulted in an aircraft with 25 per cent lower operating costs and a significant reduction in fuel burn and carbon-dioxide emissions. The A350-900 first flew in June 2013 and entered service less than two years later. The stretched A350-1000 made its maiden flight in November 2016 and began commercial flights in February 2018. The A350 provides airlines with flexibility and versatility in the range/payload combinations that it offers and by September 2013, almost 1,000 aircraft had been ordered. In celebration of the aircraft’s tenth anniversary in commercial service, Nigel Richardson describes the evolution, design and development of the A350 through to its entry into service with several major airlines and how it may further evolve in the future with high-quality illustrations and technical information.

Fire-fighting Vehicles in Preservation


While there are thousands of preserved commercial vehicles, there can be few that evoke such public excitement as fire-fighting vehicles. The sight of a vintage fire engine parading around the ring at a rally event can be a stirring one, with the crew (often fire-fighters themselves) in period uniforms with brass helmets gleaming and the bell clanging as the vehicle proceeds. Sometimes the crew may demonstrate a turntable ladder being extended to its full height or the hose reels being deployed, although modern Health & Safety rules mean that is unlikely that a demonstration of extinguishing a fire can take place.Fire brigades were established in the nineteenth century, just as mechanised road transport was beginning. Thus, their history can be told through the fire-fighting vehicles that have survived into preservation. This book tells this story. In Britain, these vehicles would all have been British built until recently. However, European and American practices are also featured through vehicles that have visited our shores or have been preserved here.

Passengers, Citizens, Consumers


Drawing on a wide variety of historical and media sources, this book tells the story of London’s transport during an unexplored era in a novel way. It takes the passengers’ perspective to explain fares, services and competitors through a new, accessible and challenging set of arguments, describing the users’ experience. To do that, the book approaches London’s commuters in the three ways that they have been seen by providers and politicians: as passive passengers, recipients of a service designed for them by experts; as active citizens, prepared to be directly involved in running a municipal system; and as discerning customers with choices about how, where and when they travel. The 1948–2000 period saw these viewpoints move in and out of fashion, and since each was intrinsically linked to politics and represented a complete prescription for how a transport system should work, the clashes were dramatic and had palpable effects on the daily experience of millions of people. Here James Fowler explains what ensued on London’s transport, why it happened, and how the hard lessons for Transport for London’s later success were learned in the preceding decades.
