Isle of Wight and Central South Coast Buses
The principal bus operator on the Isle of Wight is Southern Vectis, the name a nod to the Romans who once inhabited the island. In more recent times, from the reign of Queen Victoria, the popularity of the island increased – as has the provision for transport. Dr Beeching’s axe saw the once extensive rail network on the island reduced to just 9 miles of mainline track after 1966. This remains the same today with Island Line serving eight stations between Ryde Pier and Shanklin. This presented bus and coach companies with the opportunity to expand their operations to fill the gaps. Matt Cooper explores these operations on the island from the late 1990s before venturing across the Solent to the mainland to look at bus and coach operators running along the central South Coast. Loosely covering the area between Dorset and Sussex, the operators within it are as varied as the vehicle types to be seen. Both the ‘tourist trail’ and the routes travelled regularly by local residents are documented here.With a superb array of images, this book will be of interest to South Coast bus enthusiasts and will hopefully inspire visits to this beautiful part of the country.
Tanfield Waggonway
Dating back to the 1720s and still partly in use today as the preserved Tanfield Railway, the line has a justifiable claim to be the world’s oldest railway, running on the track bed that 300 years ago was travelled over by horse-drawn coal waggons on wooden rails. In these pages the history of the Tanfield Waggonway is told, from its origins as part of a network of wooden waggonways that ran from coal pits to the River Tyne, its rebuild with iron rails and inclined planes, introduction of locomotives in the 1880s through to its closure in the early 1960s.Lavishly illustrated throughout with rare images covering the eighteenth, nineteenth and twentieth centuries, Rob Langham covers the fascinating pre-preservation history of the 300-year-old Tanfield Waggonway.
The Birmingham to Derby Line
This important stretch of railway line through the Midlands connects England’s second city with the strategically important railway centre of Derby. The area is served by local passenger services as well as forming part of the strategically important cross-country route linking Scotland and the North East of England with Bristol and the South West. However, it is the variety of freight traffic that draws the rail enthusiast to this area. The frequent passing of coal trains may have ceased, but this key stretch of railway still has a lot to offer. From oil and steel to aggregates and container traffic, all the country’s main freight operators are regular visitors to the area. This rail enthusiast popularity extends to the intermediate stations of Burton-on-Trent and Tamworth. The latter’s split-level platforms are particularly busy as the town sits at the crossroads of this cross-country route and the West Coast Main Line, which passes below. Less well-known outside of the enthusiast circle is the important junction at Water Orton, where services towards Leicester and the east of England leave the main Derby line.In this publication, John Jackson examines the 40 miles of railway from Birmingham to Derby in detail. The selection of photographs includes a nostalgic look back at the now-closed diesel depot at Saltley, close to the heart of Birmingham, as well as demonstrating the railway’s importance to Derby that continues to the present day.
Class 126 DMUs in Scotland
Class 126 diesel multiple units were introduced to Scotland from 1956. Initially, they were diagrammed to work between Edinburgh Waverley and Glasgow Queen Street. In 1959, a second batch was introduced with slight design changes, and these were used on the Glasgow St Enoch to Ayr and Stranraer Harbour workings. The Edinburgh units were always based at Leith Central and the later builds were based at Ayr Depot. They became known as Inter City units as they initially connected up Edinburgh and Glasgow with faster end-to-end journey times compared with their steam forerunners. The Ayr-based units were later moved to work from Glasgow Central. Both fleets have worked charters on to the West Highland Lines and other routes. This book illustrates the class from introduction in the mid-1950s until withdrawal from British Rail in 1983. Four coaches have subsequently been preserved at the Bo’ness and Kinneil Railway.With a wealth of previously unpublished images, this book will delight Scottish rail enthusiasts both young and old.
The Titanic Fleet
On the night of 14–15 April 1912 RMS Titanic sank with the loss of around 1,500 people after hitting an iceberg. The ship was on its maiden voyage across the Atlantic to New York and it was the world’s worst shipping disaster at that time. The dramatic events surrounding the tragedy have captured the world’s imagination ever since and yet the story covers many more ships than just Titanic itself – from sister ships and tenders bringing out the passengers and mail, to passing ships that warned of ice, the rescue ships that raced to the scene when disaster struck and those who arrived later and collected the bodies of those who lost their lives. Controversy surrounded some ships such as Californian immediately after the disaster and ships such as the Carpathia and Mesaba which ended up becoming shipwrecks themselves many years later. All the ships involved had their own fascinating careers, some serving their country as well as their owners, transporting or evacuating troops in wartime, experiencing collisions and being torpedoed by U-boats and all sailed in an era when today’s safety rules and sophisticated chart data fed by a global positioning system did not exist.Richard M. Jones reveals the stories behind the ships involved in the Titanic disaster in this lavishly illustrated book which will appeal to those with an interest in the Titanic as well maritime history.

British Atlanteans
The Leyland Atlantean was in production from 1958 until 1986 and around 15,300 buses of the type were built over this period. Whilst over 3,500 were exported abroad, the remainder gave sterling service to over a hundred different operators in the UK. These ranged from the transport authorities of Glasgow and Liverpool, both of which accumulated large numbers of the type, to the small independent operators which bought them in penny numbers. The progression of this revolutionary bus, which placed the engine at the rear of the vehicle, went through an exhaustive development programme throughout the 1950s. The first production models were bodied by Alexander’s, Metro-Cammell and Weymanns. In total eighteen different body builders were used by the mixture of operators with three builders completing just one bus each. Towards the end of the 1960s the bus was substantially re-engineered and was redesignated as the AN68 (with progressive variations), the first of which came off the production line in May 1972 and it proved to be even more reliable than the earlier versions. The last of the type were taken out of service in the 2010s but examples still survive in open-top form and can be seen around the UK.Lavishly illustrated with a fascinating selection of previously unpublished images, Mike Rhodes documents the career and evolution of this groundbreaking bus.

Pressure
As lead presenter for Sky Sports Formula One live coverage, Simon Lazenby is at the centre of Grand Prix race-weekend action. With a foreword by legendary motorsport driver Damon Hill, in this book Simon takes us off camera to give us exclusive, behind-the-scenes access to the people who power this multi-billion-pound sport. Drawing on over a decade’s accumulated first-hand knowledge and connections across the paddock, Simon talks to key experts and professionals within the teams and the overall organisation, who each reveal how they operate, how they compete, the skills they've learnt to navigate the challenges they face. Among the insiders who let us into their world are Max Verstappen's race engineer, whose voice we hear on the driver's cockpit radio communicating key strategic decisions, and the Aston Martin mechanic who oversees the team responsible for assembling the F1 car from 14,500 different components before each GP. There's the performance coach, who has to ensure that the drivers' necks can withstand the equivalent of 24kg of weight (helmet + head + G force) and Giorgio Piola whose sketches of F1 cars have been revered since the late 1960s. George Russell talks about life at Mercedes as their new lead driver. And at the top of pyramid are Zak Brown, CEO of current contenders McLaren, and James Vowles, team principal of Williams, who are breaking through. In all, we get insight for some 27 separate roles up and down the paddock. We see split-second, mid-race decision-making at the pit wall, lightning physical and technical efficiency in the pit lane, high-level politics and boardroom manoeuvres, emergency medical interventions, genius design innovation and much more inside track action. This is a unique, first-hand insight into human performance under extreme pressure at the highest level of motorsport, bringing man and machine together to compete at speeds of 200 miles per hour.
A Year with Gilbert White
''Uglow makes us feel the life beyond the facts.'' GUARDIAN''Few can match Uglow''s skill at conjuring up a scene, or illuminating a character.'' SUNDAY TIMES''Uglow''s style is supremely elegant and often amusingly bathetic, her research exhaustive but lightly worn.'' FINANCIAL TIMESIn 1781, Gilbert White was a country curate, living in the Hampshire village he had known all his life. Fascinated by the fauna, flora and people around him, he kept journals for many years, and, at that time, was halfway to completing his path-breaking The Natural History of Selborne. No one had written like this before, with such close observation, humour, and sympathy: his spellbinding book has remained in print ever since, treasured by generations of readers. Jenny Uglow illuminates this quirky, warm-hearted man, ‘the father of ecology’, by following a single year in his Naturalist’s Journal. As his diary jumps from topic to topic, she accompanies Gilbert from frost to summer drought, from the migration of birds to the sex lives of snails and the coming of harvest.Fresh, alive and original – and packed with rich colour illustrations – A Year with Gilbert White invites us to see the natural world anew, with astonishment and wonder.

Kočičí zen: Od A do Z japonské kočičí filozofie
Kniha Kočičí zen je protkána příběhy a fakty o kočkách, Japonsku a zenové filozofii.
Co se můžeme naučit od koček, těchto filozofických šelem? Určitě nám mohou předat něco ze své moudrosti nasbírané po staletí, po která žily ve starověkých chrámech či koexistovaly s umělci, kurtizánami, mnichy nebo spisovateli. Kočky jsou nedílnou součástí života v Japonsku: od folklóru po módu, zanechaly v kultuře významné otisky svých tlapek.
Carla Francis zahrnuje do diskuse japonské milovníky koček a vyzývá k zamyšlení a „všímavému mňoukání“ o životě prostřednictvím hesel složených z japonských slov od A do Z.
Kočky nejsou zatížené starostmi jako lidé, žijí v záviděníhodné vnitřní rovnováze. Můžeme jí dosáhnout i my?
