Bloomsbury Publishing Plc Traffic
Book SynopsisObject Lessons is a series of short, beautifully designed books about the hidden lives of ordinary things.Speed. Bump. Speed. Traffic considers the history and philosophy of roundabouts, speed bumps, the pedestrian mall, and other efforts to manage traffic. Exploring ways to reign in the power of the internal combustion engine, ramp back century-long efforts to increase the flows of traffic, and establish greater balance between humans and machines, Paul Josephson considers the history of traffic, and the political and other controversies that frame the belated technological efforts to calm it. Object Lessons is published in partnership with an essay series in The Atlantic.Trade ReviewTraffic is both insightful and entertaining. Based on a range of sources, it provides us with a fuller understanding of the methods by which we might be able to control the negative effects of the automobile on our cities. * Joel A. Tarr, Richard S. Caliguiri University Professor of History and Policy, Carnegie Mellon University, USA *Paul Josephson, with deft humor and brilliance, shines a spotlight on one of the simplest and most unassuming cures for our traffic ills—the speed bump. That invention is not the new, new thing, like Uber, autonomous vehicles, and paying for transit with your smart phone. The speed bump is tried and true, and represents much more than a lump of pavement. Its very idea is the way we must design the cities of the future for people and not just automobiles. * Lois DeMeester, CEO and Founder of Mobility Lab *These Object Lessons books are interesting little in-depth examinations and philosophical treatises on objects as disparate as cigarette lighters, hotels, questionnaires, eggs, drones, golf balls, shipping containers, and waste. Like many of the other authors in the series, Paul Josephson, through humor and intelligence, offers great insight. He makes reading about traffic much more pleasant than being stuck in it. * Lit Hub *Table of ContentsIntroduction 1. Mushrooms in Minsk 2. Speed Bumps in Twentieth Century Philosophy 3.

Upfront Publishing Dino Days
Book SynopsisPraise for Dino Days Octane Magazine - An entertaining and very personal account - wonderful anecdotes and very relatable adventures. Ferrari Owners Club magazine - A great read - the GBP30 asking price is a bargain. Classic Car weekly Newspaper - Focuses on much more than just the baby Ferraris. Interesting anecdotes and an engaging read. Classic and Sportscar Magazine - This enthusiast tome is anecdotal, affectionate and honest with a quality feel that belies the price tag. Dino Days reveals the realities of classic car ownership and it focuses on an icon of the classic car world, the Ferrari Dino. Dino Days tells the exploits of Phill Brigstock and those of his family over the past 50 years, having owned around 200 Classic Cars between them. Watch out for James Bond, a Lamborghini Miura related to the Italian Job film and an exploding Lotus. Dino Days also tells the story of Enzo Ferraris true love, his first born son, Dino and the beautiful and iconic cars that carry that name. This book is aimed at the casual reader who has cast an envious and enquiring glance when a classic car passes by. Dino Days brings the reality of Classic car ownership to life, culminating in a road trip to Maranello in Italy, the home of Ferrari, whilst meeting several Dino owners along the way. Phill is also a member of the Sporting Bears - a driving charity which has raised over GBP2.3 million for Childrens causes, by giving the public "Dream Rides" in interesting cars at events across the UK in exchange for a small donation and all profits from Dino Days will be donated to the Sporting bears. Dino Days has a wealth of over 300 photos going back to the 1970's and ends with a look at what the future may hold for the world of classic cars.

Bloomsbury Publishing PLC Trains, Planes, Ships and Cars
Book SynopsisA lavishly illustrated celebration of the golden age of aircraft, cars, ships and locomotives from 1900 to 1941 by the author of the bestselling Empire of the Clouds. This dazzling book describes the flourishing of transport and travel, and the engineering that made it possible, in the years before the Second World War. It is an homage to the great vehicles and their mechanisms, their cultural impact and the social change they enabled. James Hamilton-Paterson explores the pinnacle of the steam engine, the advent and glory days of the luxury motorcar and the monster vehicles used in land speed records, the marvellous fast ocean liners and the excitement and beauty of increasingly aerodynamic forms of passenger aircraft. These were the days when for most people long-distance travel was a dream, and the dream-like glamour of these machines has never been surpassed. Hamilton-Paterson has an unrivalled ability to write evocatively about engineering and design in their historical context, and in this book he brings a vanished era to life.Trade ReviewAirships and electric cars take centre stage in this fascinating transport book * Scotsman *Lavishly illustrated with wonderful photographs... Unusually for this type of picture book, it is elegantly written, by somene who has an easy command of his subject, and firm opinions. It is the opposite of bland' * Mail on Sunday *This book is full of extraordinary images and bizarre facts – barely a page goes by without some amazing form of transport, whether real or imagined * Yorkshire Post *Hamilton-Paterson describes the extraordinary progress made in each individual category of transport * This England *Transports the reader back to an era when travel really was the stuff of dreams – for both the man in the street, and the man behind the drawing board * On Yorkshire Magazine *

Delius, Klasing & Co Curves: Germany's Coastline Denmark
Book SynopsisYou do not need to go to California for scenic coastal roads or relaxed cruising - not when you have that right on your doorstep in Europe. Instead of chewing gum, eating burgers and drinking Coca-Cola, your travelling companions will experience liquorice, tea and shrimp rolls - and, of course, Porsche. In the latest Curves volume, Stefan Bogner travels the German coastline from von Emden to Hamburg, visits the North Frisian island Sylt, and takes a trip to Denmark. From Klitmoeller he goes to Copenhagen and Lübeck. The journey comes to an end in between seaside resorts and chalk cliffs on Rügen, an island in the Baltic. Text in English and German.

University of Toronto Press Urban Transportation Financing
Book SynopsisThis is an economic analysis of pricing and subsidy policies for urban roads and urban public transit in Ontario. Professor Frankena demonstrates the benefits of evaluating the economic merits of policy alternatives, and attempts to determine whether existing policies waste resources or lead to undesirable income transfers among different groups in the population.He concludes that resources are being wasted because the use of urban roads is substantially underpriced during periods of peak demand. He also finds that while there are sound economic justifications for substantial public transit subsidies, the allocation of subsidies by the Ontario government on the basis of capital expenditures can be expected to waste resources, as can the maximization of ridership which is likely to lead to detrimental fare and service policies.In conclusion, Frankena suggests improvements in the systems for charging people for the use of roads and public transit and in the ways that gov

University of Nebraska Press Rebuilding the Indian
Book SynopsisChronicles one man's journey through the fearful expanse of midlife in a quest for peace, parts, and a happy second fatherhood. With limited mechanical skills, and a cast of local experts, the author takes us down the rocky road of restoration to the headlong, heart-thrilling rush of open highway on his on his midnight-blue Millennium Flyer.Trade Review"You don't have to love motorcycles, midlife crisis stories, or even redemption to love the good writing by Missoula's favorite arborist in this gently humorous memoir reissued, like an orchid, after its first flower in 1998."—Montana Magazine“Haefele was a writer who couldn’t get his book published, an arborist whose livelihood just might kill him, and an expectant father for the first time in 20 years when he tackled the restoration of a 1947 Indian Chief motorcycle. The book chronicles the restoration of the bike—and the resurrection of a dream.”—Missoulian“Haefele describes how his search for vintage parts eventually involved an entire community of fanatical mechanics, impoverished motorcycle collectors, and renegade bikers—a collaboration, he realizes, that gave him skills as much social and spiritual as practical."—New Yorker“This remembrance of turning a box of junk into a gleaming Indian Chief has a universal roar. Just the right mix of gearhead details and personal reflections.”—USA Today"What Haefele writes about wonderfully, in his mellow, understated way, is how the Indian project became a test of his love and resolve."—Esquire
