The common seaman and the pirate in the age of sail are romantic historical figures who occupy a special place in the popular culture of the modern age.

But their lives are not beyond recovery. In this book, Marcus Rediker uses a huge array of historical sources (court records, diaries, travel accounts, and many others) to reconstruct the social cultural world of the Anglo-American seamen and pirates who sailed the seas in the...

ISBN: 9780521552806 / Angielski / Twarda / 102 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Most books about Britain's transport history have concentrated on canals and railways.

Development of road transport continued during the Canal and Railway Ages and expanded with the advent of more efficient but more environmentally damaging motor vehicles. This book will be an essential book not only for transport specialists but also for genealogists, geographers, motor engineers, and those interested in...

ISBN: 9780595378005 / Angielski / Miękka / 220 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This book is intended to describe with analytical rigor the concept of distributed networked operations, which is a refinement of what have popularly been called 'network centric operations." Distributed networked operations envision combat being conducted by large numbers of diverse and small units-rather than by small numbers of generally homogenous, large units. Examples of the latter are sea battles between blue water fleets and strategic bombing campaigns. In theory and to a significant extent in practice in Afghanistan and Iraq, distributed networked operations involve a mixed bag of...

Road Pricing: Theory and Evidence Volume 9
ISBN: 9780762309689 / Angielski / Twarda / 324 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Traffic congestion affects towns and cities everywhere and in some places it is regarded as one of the most urgent and important problems in need of a solution. Road pricing is undoubtedly recognised as an effective traffic demand management tool. The recent London congestion charging scheme seems to be showing that public and political opposition is not insurmountable. Thus, the ghost that prevented the introduction of a policy supported by transport economists for over 80 years seems to have disappeared or at least, weakened.
The book contains twelve papers useful to different types of... Traffic congestion affects towns and cities everywhere and in some places it is regarded as one of the most urgent and important problems in need of a...

From then on, biker films were known for their shock value, and when they lost that they ran out of road. This filmography covers 58 biker films, and provides a synopsis, an analysis and...

ISBN: 9780792349136 / Angielski / Twarda / 234 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

Economic approaches often consider pricing policies, attempting to evaluate their effectiveness in comparison with more traditional measures such as command and control' regulation and directed technological innovation. Another important subset of approaches involves simulation modelling, where key relationships are presented mathematically so that their influence...
