Summary

Urban Ferries explores the growing relevance of water transport in modern cities, offering solutions to urban congestion and promoting sustainable urban development. It examines the history, economic viability, and environmental impact of ferry systems, crucial for policymakers and urban planners. The book reveals how these systems, once dominant, are making a comeback due to advancements in technology and growing concerns about sustainability.

 
One intriguing insight is the cost-effectiveness of ferries compared to traditional infrastructure, alongside their potential to reduce carbon emissions. The book uniquely balances data-driven analysis with real-world case studies, highlighting successful implementations in cities like Istanbul, Sydney, New York City and Bangkok.

 
It considers how ferry terminals integrate aesthetically and functionally within the urban fabric. By investigating passenger ridership, fuel consumption, and emissions, the book offers a comprehensive assessment of ferry system performance. It progresses from fundamental design principles to policy recommendations, providing a structured exploration of urban mobility solutions.

    Pictures from Italy

    Who better to travel to Italy with than Charles Dickens? From the travails of 19th century travel to the wonder of discovering the great art of western civilization, all are brought to life with the characteristic humour, wryness, sentimentality, fervour and love that are poured into the best of the author’s fiction. 
Modern readers will recognise many of Italy’s historical treasures that millions have enjoyed since Dickens described them over 150 years ago; in that sense surprisingly, little has changed.  
What might be more interesting to us today are the nature and mechanics of tourism in 1846. So used are we to the relative comfort and speed of global transport that we forget the discomforts (and at times horrors) undertaken by those few that would endeavour to see the world in previous centuries. By comparison we journey at our leisure whereas Dickens’ journal is more the record of a pilgrim and pioneer.  
Far be it from him however to dwell on the rigours of Victorian tourism, indeed he saves his pithiest wit for such times and is much more interested, as he always is, in the humanity of all he encounters.  
His vibrant and colourful description of the Roman Festival is as joyful as his reserved observation of an execution is sombre and reserved. Dickens is not enamoured of all he experiences and is quick to let us know when he suspects sham commercialism, hypocrisy or injustice.

    Before he started writing novels, Charles Dickens tried his hand at theater. The Village Coquettes is a two act musical. Sadly the music was lost long ago so this will be a spoken version. This play completes the recording of the relatively unknown plays of Dickens in celebration of his 200th birthday! (Summary by ToddHW)
