Synopsis

What Is Hovertrain
 
A hovertrain is a kind of high-speed train that substitutes traditional steel wheels with hovercraft lift pads. Additionally, the standard railway bed is replaced with a paved road-like surface that is known as the track or guideway. The purpose of the idea is to reduce the complexity of the infrastructure required to install new lines while simultaneously eliminating rolling resistance and enabling very high performance. The word "hovertrain" is more of a general phrase, and the specific vehicles are often called to by the project titles under which they were created. In the United Kingdom, these vehicles are referred to as tracked hovercraft, whereas in the United States, they are known as tracked air-cushion vehicles. In France, Jean Bertin (1917-1975) was the first person to design a hovertrain. In France, these trains were marketed as the Aérotrain until the French government decided to terminate the project.

    “Hilarious . . . If you’ve ever woken up with a cat staring right at you, or been joined on bathroom breaks by your feline friend, then you’ll understand.” —Awesome Inventions 
     
    From the creative duo behind the bestselling Me Without You and Happiness Is . . . comes How to Be a Cat, a lighthearted illustrated guide to living life as a feline. Distinctive artwork and quirky captions confirm what we already know: cats actually rule the household. Ranging from simple truisms (“Look cute enough to attract cuddles”) to perceptive observations (“Consider life a never-ending belly rub”), this charming book is a must-have gift for anyone who shares their life with a feline friend (or vice versa). 
     
    “It lists many of the intricate behaviors that distinguish a real cat from what I assume are cheap cat knock-offs (like ‘kat’ or ‘cot’). Do you lick your humans at 3am? Do you ask for attention, then wriggle away once they pick you up? Then you’re well on the way of being a real, certified cat.” —deMilked 
     
    “An easy to follow ‘how to guide’ available for anyone dreaming of being a kitty cat instead of a real-world adult, or kid.” —Earth Porm

Each location forms the subject of its own photographic essay, including insight into technique and composition.

    In this guide, I would like to give you an insight into keeping, raising and training your horse as a partner. The focus will be on the factor of natural handling. Basic theoretical knowledge will be conveyed with corresponding practical suggestions. Meanwhile, topics such as communication between humans and horses and species-appropriate husbandry will be addressed. Newcomers to the field of riding will gain an extensive insight into the mindset of the four-legged friends and equestrian "know-how". Experienced riders who are already taking their horses to competitions will also find everything they need, from a change of scenery in training to dressage lessons.
    For those working with young horses, the subject of training is dealt with extensively.
    I do not prescribe the "right" or "wrong" way to ride. This guide is merely a recommendation on how to deal with horses in a species-appropriate manner. I want to convey how you can encourage horses without forcing them to do anything unnatural and how you can spend time with them alongside riding.
    The overriding aim of all topics should be the joy of riding and harmony with the horse as a partner.

    Do Not Adjust Your Set is a 60s comedy show comprised mostly of satirical sketches, often presented in a bizarre, surreal and disjointed manner- much like that of Monty Python, a succeeding show which several of the cast became part of. 
    An important Monty Python predecessor and arguably one of the finest children's sketch comedies ever produced, DNAYS is certainly something you do not want to miss... 
    This volume features a compilation of classic sketches from the show, including:
