GIs returning after World War II created an entirely new automotive market niche when they bought surplus Jeeps and began exploring the rugged backcountry of the American West. This burgeoning market segment, which eventually became known as sport utility vehicles (SUVs), numbered about 40,000 units per year with offerings from Jeep, Scout, Toyota, and Land Rover. In 1966, Ford entered the fray with its Bronco, offering increased refinement, more power, and an innovative coil-spring front suspension. The Bronco caught on quickly and soon established a reputation as a solid backcountry performer. In Baja, the legendary accomplishments of racers such as Parnelli Jones, Rod Hall, and Bill Strop...

Stuffed with never-before-seen photography, stories, and race results, Bronco Racing: Ford’s Legendary 4x4 in Off-Road Competition is the most definitive publication ever on this marque’s racing success! In 1965, legendary builder and off-road aficionado Bill Stroppe was one of the first to test the new Bronco in off-road conditions. In March 1966, Stroppe introduced his racing Bronco to the press at the Bronco Roundup, where racing ace Ray Harvick pounded the Santa Ana river bottom with his tuned machine to win Top Eliminator at the Four-Wheel-Drive Grand Prix at Riverside, and the rest is history. Ford’s Bronco dominated the off-road racing scene and captured coveted titles in the Mi...
The journal for research on the visual media of language expression.
This handy atlas presents detailed analyses of mean annual, semi-annual, seasonal and monthly values of the following fluxes and parameters derived from the long term monthly averages of routine meteorological data: net all-wave radiation, net long-wave radiation, actual evapotranspiration, the flux of sensible heat, the parameterized surface albedo, total cloudiness, the modified Bowen-ratio (the ratio of the heat needed for actual evotranspiration to the total energy available), the radiational index of dryness (Budykoratio) and total runoff. In 26 maps, the months - i. e. their regional variability - are shown in which net radiation, actual evotranspiration, the flux of sensible heat and the modified Bowen-ratio are at their maximum.
The story of what really led to Germany losing the battle of Stalingrad - the inability of the Luftwaffe to keep Sixth Army supplied throughout the winter of 1942–43 - and why this crucial airlift failed. Luftwaffe chief Hermann Goering's failure to deliver his promise to keep Sixth Army supplied at Stalingrad was one of the most hard-hitting strategic air failures of World War II. 300 tons a day of supplies were required to sustain the Sixth Army, flown in against a Soviet fighter force whose capabilities were rapidly being transformed. The Luftwaffe's failure left Sixth Army trapped, vulnerable and too weak to attempt a breakout. The destruction of Sixth Army was one of the major turning...
Es beginnt ganz harmlos mit der Verbrennung von Verordnungen und Gesetzen auf dem Zürcher Sechseläutenplatz, um den Unmut über das Zuviel an staatlicher Reglementierung zu verdeutlichen; mit ein paar Pädagoginnen, die vor ihren Kindergärten gefesselt an den Pranger gestellt werden, um der Forderung der Kinder nach dem Recht auf den Inhalt des eigenen 'Znünitäschlis' Nachdruck zu verleihen. Doch mit der Kastrierung eines Pädophilen, den Morden an einem Hundevergifter und einem Stutenaufschlitzer, der Entführung eines Ex-Grossbankchefs, eines Professors, eines Nationalrats und schliesslich sogar einer Ministerin droht die Selbstjustiz in Helvetien ein Ausmass anzunehmen, das die Muste...
