  <p?Gingerbread is a lovely, squidgy treat which has played a part in almost everyone's childhood. But do you know what gingerbread was made of when it first arrived on our plates; was it flavoured with honey? When did treacle,  dark, sticky, and on its own, fairly strong tasting, which adds moisture, depth of flavour and character to baking, first become available? Then there's the question of when gingerbread migrated from the home kitchen to commercial products. And why did the gingerbread man leap from the tin, and run so fast with a fox snapping at his heels?
  With 100 colour photographs by the author and from historical sources, and 150 recipes for traditional gingerbreads, biscuits, cakes and savoury dishes, this is a unique book.

  Land Speed Records

  In 1886 German engineer Karl Benz invented a petrol-powered automobile that became the first production motor vehicle. Steam and electric cars already existed but they were slow and cumbersome, and the internal-combustion engine revolutionised the industry. Only a decade or so later, drivers of all three types of car were battling for the outright speed record but progress was slow and it took until 1904 before Frenchman Louis Rigolly reached 100mph.By the 1920s, motor racing had entered a golden age and stars like Sir Henry Segrave, John Cobb and Sir Malcolm Campbell all built dedicated land speed record cars in pursuit of sporting immortality. Competition was stiff, particularly from the United States, and by the 1960s the Arfons brothers and Craig Breedlove were using jet power to reach speeds of 600mph on the Bonneville Salt Flats.In 1983 Richard Noble recaptured the record for Britain in Thrust 2. Fourteen years later, RAF pilot Andy Green became the first man to drive faster than sound in Thrust SSC at the Black Rock Desert in Nevada. Today, at least eight teams are developing cars to run at more than 1,000mph. This book chronicles the record from humble beginnings to the supersonic records of tomorrow.

  This fantastic guide traces the history of, arguably, the most popular heritage railway in Britain from the origins of the line in the 1830s through the good, bad and controversial times, up to the present day. Every year since 1973, the North Yorkshire Moors Railway (NYMR) has transported hundreds of thousands of visitors in preserved steam and diesel-hauled trains between Pickering and Grosmont through an ancient landscape of unmatched beauty. When those trains started to run regularly to and from Whitby in 2007, it revived a service started by the Whitby & Pickering Railway Company back in 1836. The history of the NYMR is a fascinating one that will do well to be remembered. This book explores the journey, development and changes of the NYMR and is a fantastic guide to how the railway industry has changed over time.
