The men and women he meets along the way are by turns generous and mistrusting,...

Railway Development: Impacts on Urban Dynamics
ISBN: 9783790819717 / Angielski / Twarda / 419 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The revitalisation of railway station areas has been a hot issue in policy making in Europe in recent years. The introduction of two new railway systems - the high speed train and light rail systems - has pushed forward the redevelopment of not only railway stations themselves, but also of their - in many cases deteriorated - direct surroundings. Examples of revitali- tion of railway station areas can be found throughout Europe, for example in countries like England (Liverpool), France (Euralille), Germany (Berlin) and the Netherlands (Amsterdam South Axis). The dynamics of revitali- tion of...

Tales of Sheringham's Level Crossing
ISBN: 9781449003548 / Angielski / Miękka / 70 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The North Norfolk Railway is a heritage steam railway which has been in operation for over 40 years. The railway is separated from the national railway system by a tantalising 300 yards where it crosses a busy main road. For many years the railway company has had aspirations to link up to the main line by re-opening the level crossing thus allowing tourist and charter trains to reach the heritage railway from all over the UK. It is now going to happen. This book however describes the occasions when the crossing was used and in one particular case after the level crossing had been removed. The...

Manchurian Railways and the Opening of China: An International History: An International History
ISBN: 9780765625151 / Angielski / Miękka / 235 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The railways of Manchuria offer an intriguing vantage point for an international history of northeast Asia. Before the completion of the Trans-Siberian railway in 1916, the only rail route from the Imperial Russian capital of St. Petersburg to the Pacific port of Vladivostok transited Manchuria. A spur line from the Manchurian city of Harbin led south to ice-free Port Arthur. Control of these two rail lines gave Imperial Russia military, economic, and political advantages that excited rivalry on the part of Japan and unease on the part of weak and divided China. Meanwhile, the effort to...

You may be one of those who, like connoisseurs of boiled eggs, know exactly how they want them to be prepared and presented.

Kolejną szansę na wspomnienie czasów tramwajowego Inowrocławia daje właśnie ta publikacja.
