Synopsis

"Tramway Tales" presents a fascinating journey through the evolution of urban rail transportation, from horse-drawn carriages to modern electric trams, exploring how these systems have fundamentally shaped our cities. The book masterfully weaves together technological advancement, urban development, and social change to tell the story of one of humanity's most enduring transportation solutions.Through carefully researched case studies from cities like Melbourne and Portland, it reveals how tramways have repeatedly proven themselves as catalysts for sustainable urban development. The narrative unfolds across three distinct periods: the initial boom of tramways in the 19th century, their decline during the automotive age, and their modern renaissance as a solution for sustainable urban mobility.What makes this book particularly valuable is its accessible presentation of complex engineering concepts, making it relevant for both general readers and transportation professionals. The author skillfully balances technical details about track design and power systems with broader discussions of urban planning and environmental impact.Drawing from extensive municipal archives and engineering records, the book demonstrates how tramways represent more than just transportation infrastructure—they're indicators of a city's approach to public space and sustainable development. The work concludes with an exploration of future possibilities, including autonomous trams and car-free city centers, making it an essential resource for anyone interested in the intersection of urban planning, sustainable transportation, and technological innovation.

    The Roman Empire is coming apart at the seams, relying on German recruits and foederati to hold the empire together. The eastern and western empires are ruled by incompetent young men who allow their German warlords to rule for them, but imperial elites conspire against the generals. Yul the Younger is a Saxon boy negotiating life in the empire with strong ties to his family in Germania. His father, Yul the Elder, sends Yul to a monastery school to learn the ways of the empire, with the father serving the empire as a quaestor (treasurer) in the east of Britannia. Yul the elder’s job is to make certain that the mostly German troopers of the Saxon Shore are fed, equipped, and paid, but Romano-British landlords are withholding taxes while enslaving Germans and building lavish country houses. Life in the monastic school at Verulamium (Saint Albans) proves difficult for Yul the Younger with monks insisting he give up his Germanic gods for Christ. He is also harassed by the entitled sons of British elites. Yul dares to make his escape with his best friend, a Pict, named Keaffer. Both enlist in the Brave Companions stationed at Othona as self-declared Emperor Flavius Claudius Constantine opts to invade Gaul to capture the purple and stop the Germanic tribes from crossing the Rhine Frontier to settle in the dying empire. Tall, blond, and broad, Yul joins the invasion of Europa. He also finds love and seeks revenge for the wrongs committed by Britons against his family and companions.

    To educate means to draw forth (Latin, educare: to lead, to bring up); the teacher must draw forth, but, also, must meet the new individual at her or his own level. But what does the teacher draw forth from the child? Is the teacher like the sun that draws forth the plants? Children do grow up, but at the same time, they come down. What if one is teaching one's own children? 
    There are as many possible approaches to teaching children at home, that is, "homeschooling", as there are homes and families who choose to take up this individualized approach to education. Catherine Read chose to model her School-at-Home on the curriculum used in Waldorf schools. 
    This book is the story of her journey as the primary teacher of her two daughters through the Waldorf curriculum from early childhood through high school grade eleven: what she did, when she did it, and why. 
    Along the way, this flexible, artistic, challenging, and ultimately rewarding approach to education comes into focus. Inspiring and instructional, the account of her years as both parent and teacher will be a boon to anyone thinking of founding their own School-at-Home.

    Sex Addiction: A Guide for Couples and Those Who Help Them is a practical book that provides empathic support, guidance, information and pragmatic strategies for couples who want to survive sex and porn addiction - whether that’s together, or apart.

This book adopts the metaphor of a boat, presenting addiction as the tidal wave that devastates the relation-ship, leaving both crew members fighting for survival. There’s guidance to ensure each partner makes it safely back to shore and advice on surveying the damage to your relation-ship and deciding if you want to save it and set sail again. You’ll find practical advice for both the partner and the addicted partner, including first-hand accounts of couples that have already undertaken the journey.

    When physical disability from combat wounds brought about Jim Stockdale's early retirement from military life, he had the distinction of being the only three-star officer in the history of the navy to wear both aviator wings and the Congressional Medal of Honor. His writings have been many and varied, but all converge on the central theme of how man can rise with dignity to prevail in the face of adversity.
