ISBN: 9780821347836 / Angielski / Miękka / 36 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

ISBN: 9780774805520 / Angielski / Miękka / 353 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. During the first two decades of this century, the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway played an important part in the development of the north-central corridor of British Columbia.

The B.C. line was the most expensive and least remunerative of its sections and contributed ultimately to the company's collapse in 1919. In A Thousand Blunders, Frank Leonard looks at why the 'Road of a Thousand Wonders' failed to live...

But is China's railway reform really a story of convergence and will the Chinese government follow the western model of railway reform? Addressing these questions, this book provides a positive...
