Lightships : Their Design, Development and Diversity
Lightships guided ships of all nations past offshore reefs and sandbanks that posed extreme hazards to navigation where lighthouses could not be built.This book describes their design, construction and evolution over more than two centuries of service. Originally constructed from teak, they progressed through iron hulls to steel.Their lights burnt whale oil, colza oil, then paraffin before electricity provided the greatest brightness.Fog warnings were given by bells, gongs, reed horns and sirens before reaching maximum power with the diaphone, which could be heard up to 10 miles away.All these features, most of which resulted from major scientific and engineering advances made in the nineteenth century, are examined here. For hundreds of years lightships made the sea lanes around Great Britain far safer for navigators.Their history and development are well documented through the rare images and detailed information contained within this book.

Oliver Bulleid's Locomotives : Their Design and Development
Oliver Bulleid's locomotives guides the reader in the quest to understand what motivated Mr Bulleid in his work as a senior engineer and manager, and tries, with as little bias as is reasonable, to make sense of some of the more controversial aspects of his activities.For example, why did OVB not pursue the ideal of a 2-8-2 for the Southern Railway?How did the 'Leader' project go so much out of control?What role did Bulleid play in the massive dieselisation programme in Ireland when he was CME there?How did the 0-6-6-0T turf-burning steam locomotive fit in with Ireland's traction policy, or did it? And why did ninety of his steam locomotives and ninety-four of 'his' diesels have to be rebuilt to make them either more economical or more reliable?These are fundamental questions to which the book provides the reader with answers based on the author's experiences or on those of people who knew Bulleid.OVB's undoubted successes are illustrated in words and photographs, too, to provide a hopefully balanced picture of one of Britain's more exciting railway engineers.

Great Western, Grange Class Locomotives : Their Design and Development
Churchward proposed a 5ft 8in wheeled 4-6-0 for mixed traffic duties in 1901 and it was seriously considered in 1905, but it took until 1936 before his successor, Charles Collett, realised the plan by persuading the GWR Board to replace many of the 43XX moguls with modern standard mixed traffic engines that bore a remarkable likeness to the Churchward proposal.David Maidment has written another in his series of Locomotive Portfolios' for Pen & Sword to coincide with the construction of a new Grange' at Llangollen from GW standard parts to fill the gap left by the total withdrawal and scrapping of one of that railway's most popular classes - to their crews at the very least.As well as covering the type's design and construction, the author deals comprehensively with the allocation and operation of the eighty locomotives and in particular has researched their performance and illustrated it with many examples of recorded logs from the 1930s as well as in more recent times.As in previous volumes, the author has added his own personal experiences with the engines and has sourced more than 250 photos, over 40 of which are in colour.

The Planet and Samson Locomotives : Their Design and Development
Robert Stephenson's Planet class locomotive was the first true design of mainline express passenger locomotive.Delivered less than a year after Rocket it was one of the most successful early locomotive designs.Planet set the mold for British locomotive design for more than the next century featuring a multi tubular boiler; inside cylinders; crank axle; and the first use of proper frames. The Planet class, and its 0-4-0 Samson derivative, found use across Britain with examples being supplied to railways in London and Glasgow.The Planet class proved popular in Europe too with examples being first exported and then built in France.Two were exported to Austria, and the first locomotive to steam in Russia was based on the design.Planet and Samson also crossed the Atlantic with more examples being built in the United States than in Europe. A working replica of the revolutionary design was built in Manchester in 1992: the first mainline express passenger steam locomotive to be built in Britain since the 1960s. This book outlines the technical design of the Planet and Samson locomotive, and charts the careers of the class members at home and abroad.

Why is E-commerce not sustainable?
E-commerce is not sustainable for several reasons. First, the increase in online shopping leads to higher energy consumption and carbon emissions from transportation and packaging. Additionally, the rise of fast fashion and disposable consumer goods in e-commerce contributes to environmental degradation and waste. Furthermore, the reliance on large warehouses and fulfillment centers for e-commerce operations can lead to land use and habitat destruction. Finally, the convenience of e-commerce can lead to overconsumption and unnecessary purchases, further straining the environment.
