British Railways in the 1950s and '60s
ISBN: 9780747811688 / Angielski / Miękka / 2012 / 56 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. The 1950s saw a realisation that British Railways needed to modernise its equipment and rationalise its network if it was to hold its own in the face of growing competition from road and air transport. The next decade brought line closures, new liveries and the last breath of steam, as Doctor Beeching and his successors strove to break even and build a new business from the old. From Britannia to the Blue Pullman, Evening Star to Inter-City, Greg Morse takes us through this turbulent twenty-year period, which started with a poor bag of assets and ended with BR poised to launch the fastest...

British Diesel Locomotives of the 1950s and ‘60s
ISBN: 9781784420338 / Angielski / Miękka / 2017 / 64 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. After the Second World War, the drive for the modernization of Britain's railways ushered in a new breed of locomotive: the Diesel. Diesel-powered trains had been around for some time, but faced with a coal crisis and the Clean Air Act in the 1950s, it was seen as a part of the solution for British Rail. This beautifully illustrated book, written by an expert on rail history, charts the rise and decline of Britain's diesel-powered locomotives. It covers a period of great change and experimentation, where the iconic steam engines that had dominated for a century were replaced by a series of...

Railway Accidents
ISBN: 9780747813712 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 72 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Though trains are one of the safest forms of transport, train accidents always make headline news. Their history is, in many ways, the history of technological development and learning. Early incidents like the felling of William Huskisson MP by Stephenson's Rocket in 1830 led to the reporting systems we know today, while within 50 years safer signalling and braking methods had been made mandatory. Greg Morse charts these changes, taking the story on through the twentieth century, which saw advances in track design and train protection systems, but which ended with a stark reminder that...

John Betjeman
ISBN: 9780747810513 / Angielski / Miękka / 2011 / 56 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Born at the start of the twentieth century, John Betjeman later wrote that he always knew he would be a poet. In time, he would indeed become the most popular Poet Laureate since Tennyson, but he was more than that: as a noted broadcaster and journalist, he also did much to help us appreciate the beauty all around us - in the landscape, in architecture, in churches, on the coast and on the railway. At once lyrical and humorous, nostalgic and unsentimental, and above all distinctively English, Betjeman is in the first rank of poets to have emerged from these isles in the last century.

British Railways in the 1970s and ’80s
ISBN: 9780747812517 / Angielski / Miękka / 2013 / 64 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 8-10 dni roboczych. For British Rail, the 1970s was a time of contrasts, when bad jokes about sandwiches and pork pies often veiled real achievement, like increasing computerisation and the arrival of the high-speed Inter-City 125s. But while television advertisements told of an 'Age of the Train', Monday morning misery remained for many, the commuter experience steadily worsening as rolling stock aged and grew ever more uncomfortable. Yet when BR launched new electrification schemes and introduced new suburban trains in the 80s, focus fell on the problems that beset the Advanced Passenger Train, whose...

John Betjeman: Reading the Victorians
ISBN: 9781845192716 / Angielski / Twarda / 2008 / 254 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. John Betjeman was undoubtedly the most popular Poet Laureate since Tennyson. But beneath the thoroughly modern window on Britain that he opened during his lifetime lay the influence of his nineteenth-century forebears. This book explores his identity through such Victorianism via the verse of that period, but also its architecture, religious faith and more importantly religious doubt. It was, nevertheless, a process which took time. In the 1930s Betjeman s work was tinted with modernism and traditionalism. He found Victorian buildings funny and wrote much in praise of the Bauhaus style, even...
