Sinossi

'Blimp Adventures' presents a fascinating journey through the evolution of lighter-than-air vessels, from their military origins to their current commercial applications. This comprehensive exploration reveals how blimps transformed from crucial surveillance platforms during both World Wars into versatile aircraft that revolutionized advertising and aerial photography.

 
The book skillfully weaves together technical innovations, historical significance, and human interest stories, making complex aviation concepts accessible to both enthusiasts and general readers. The narrative begins with Count von Zeppelin's groundbreaking work in the 1900s and progresses through the golden age of advertising blimps, particularly highlighting the iconic Goodyear fleet's influence on aerial marketing.

 
Readers discover how these majestic airships proved invaluable during wartime, effectively countering submarine threats through maritime patrol operations. The book draws from an impressive array of sources, including military archives, technical manuals, and firsthand accounts from blimp pilots and industry professionals, providing authentic insights into this unique aspect of aviation history.

 
Through detailed yet accessible explanations, the book examines the scientific principles behind lighter-than-air flight while exploring modern applications in environmental monitoring and telecommunications. The text offers a balanced perspective on significant events like the Hindenburg disaster while looking ahead to the future potential of airships in sustainable transportation. This thoughtful progression from historical achievements to contemporary innovations demonstrates how blimps continue to influence multiple fields while maintaining their status as enduring symbols of aeronautical ingenuity.

    The unspeakable tragedy of the Titanic disaster can only be fully appreciated through the tales of the people who were aboard on the night the ship went down. The Irish Aboard Titanic gives those people a voice, focusing on the Irish who were aboard the 'unsinkable' liner. In it are stories of agony, luck, self-sacrifice, dramatic escapes and heroes left behind. Senan Molony also records the heartache that continued long after that fateful night. In her wake the Titanic cast a long shadow over the families forced to endure the agonising wait to learn the fate of loved ones, over the lives of the survivors who had to start their lives anew and over those who lost relatives and friends. If you want to know about the Irish passengers and crew of the Titanic, this is the only book to have.

    Drawing together the evidence of archaeology, palaeoecology, climate history and the historical record, this first environmental history of Scotland explores the interaction of human populations with land, waters, forests and wildlife.
    This volume takes the reader from the climatic highs of the Late Iron Age to the depths of the war-torn and plague-ravaged fourteenth century. Departing from traditional frameworks that divide Scotland's history into periods based on kings' reigns or major political events, discussion instead follows the major shifts in climate that divide these fourteen centuries into epochs, each with its own distinct characteristics. Starting amidst the fields and forests shaped across the eight millennia of Scotland's prehistory, where we encounter the imprint of past generations of hunters and gatherers, farmers and fishermen, as well as the legacies of climate impacts and pathogens, the book explores the depths of the Late Antique Little Ice Age and the long climb back to the 'Golden Age' of the twelfth- and thirteenth-century Medieval Climate Anomaly, to end with the slide through crop-failure, famine, war and disease of what is reputed to be the 'worst century in human history'.

    The vivid account of a war correspondent shot down over Germany and taken prisoner. 
     
     
     
    Bennett was one of several journalists to fly a night raid over Berlin in November 1943. This is the vivid testimony of an American journalist shot down over Berlin. After he was captured in Berlin, he was taken on a tour of Germany and shown what the civilian population was being subjected to. Bennett spent the rest of the war in Stalag Luft I, where he started the newspaper POW WOW, secretly read by 9,000 prisoners. Bennett's experiences led him to condemn the Allied policy of systematically bombing civilian population centers.
