Summary

Transportation Basics explores the fascinating world of how we move, examining the science and technology behind various vehicles. It delves into how transportation has evolved, impacting not only our ability to travel but also shaping trade, urbanization, and cultural exchange. Think about it: the invention of the wheel revolutionized land travel, while advancements in shipbuilding opened up global trade routes. The book uniquely presents a broad overview, tracing the history of transportation from early animal-powered carts to modern high-speed trains.

 
It begins with the fundamental principles of motion and energy, then dedicates sections to land, water, and air transport, covering bicycles, boats, airplanes, and more. Each mode is examined through its history, technology, and engineering. Finally, the book discusses emerging technologies like electric vehicles and autonomous driving, highlighting their potential impact on society and the environment.

 
By understanding the underlying principles and historical trajectory of transportation, readers can make informed decisions about its future development and contribute to a more sustainable world.

    'I want absolutely nothing to do with this book.' – Owen Farrell  
THREE RUGBY MEGASTARS. 
ONE EPIC BOOK. 
Welcome to the wild world of The Good, The Bad & The Rugby.  
They say what goes on tour stays on tour…but not this time. 
Dive headfirst into the banter, bruises and brilliance of rugby with the team behind The Good, The Bad & The Rugby podcast. Packed with shenanigans, laugh-out-loud stories and a little chaos, this book offered a behind-the-scenes pass to the lives, laughs and legendary matches of three rugby megastars – on and off the pitch. 
'There's rugby, laughter and, of course, more of me' – JAMES HASKELL 
'The lawyers are once again on standby' – ALEX PAYNE 
'I have no idea how this book deal was signed, but in the spirit of GBR -"Once in, all in"' – MIKE TINDALL 
Among the key questions answered are:What happened when Mike took their shambles of a podcast inside the walls of Windsor Castle to meet the Prince and Princess of Wales and the Princess Royal?How did James end up nearly killing himself on the way to the DJ set, find himself forced to save Payno from Tins and get confronted by irate fan?Why did Alex's broadcasting career sink to such depressing depths? And will it ever recover? (Spoiler alert – it won't.) 
In this epically no-holds-barred book, all three of them go behind the scenes of the hugely successful podcast, pulling back the curtain to reveal their most outrageous antics on tour – the ups, the downs and the sideways – and leaving no story untold. 
All is unleashed. 
This autobiography is a non-fiction account of the world of rugby, filled with humour and the kind of insider information that only comes from being on the inside. It's a memoir that takes readers on a journey through the sport, the podcasting world, and the lives of three of its biggest stars. 
For fans of Rachel Murphy (Just A Child), Joe Marler (Loose Head), Luke Upton (Hard Men of Rugby), Peter Crouch (How to Be an Ex-Footballer), and Jonny Wilkinson (Jonny).

    In Green Lewisham we are invited to explore the surprisingly numerous green spaces in the Borough of Lewisham in south east London. Rivers, trees, grassy glades and wildlife are round almost every corner, hidden between houses and alongside railway lines and all lying less than ten miles from Trafalgar Square in central London. We have a brief history behind the many calming and natural sites and the photographs tempt us to go walking every day, and at all times of the year, as the trees change from bare branches to green leaves and then the brilliant jewel-like colours of the autumn. Discover herons and egrets, swans, and many, many species of birds as well as the ever-present ring-necked parakeets. Walk along the centuries-old River Ravensbourne and its tributaries, or find stunning views of London from the hilltops. Lewisham is celebrated as the London Borough of Culture in 2022. Candy Blackham has given us a unique book which opens our eyes to appreciating and enjoying the natural, green spaces in this special year.
