Walking The Line
An authoritative guide to the history, landscape and lore along the scenic English train line between Settle and Carlisle, by an established travel writer and railway aficionado. Widely known as England's most picturesque line, the enduring Settle-Carlisle Railway crosses the north Pennines between Yorkshire and Cumbria, traversing stunning scenery from the Dales through the lonely and lofty fells to the limestone pavements of Westmorland, and on into the lush, green Eden Valley. The line was built by the Midland Railway company in the 1870s, to forge an independent route connecting its English network with Scotland. Uniquely for a railway in the UK, the entire infrastructure is a Conservation Area in its own right—comprising viaducts, stations, bridges, tunnels, trackside structures and railway workers' cottages.
The Collected Works of Philip Hall
As one of the world's most influential algebraists, Philip Hall is renowned for groundbreaking work in his field. The papers in this collection of his works are models of lucidity that offer relevant information for today's mathematicians and group theorists. The sequence of papers on soluble groups, up to and including his Hall-Higman paper and one on "Theorems Like Sylow's", are of fundamental importance to the development of finite group theory. Also included is Hall's Queen Mary College Mathematics Notes volume, which remains an excellent introduction to nilpotent groups.
Automotive Electrical and Electronic Systems with Shop Manual
Part of the Basic Automotive Series, Automotive Electrical and Electronic Systems can be used in any introductory course in automotive electronics and electricity. The text opens with up-to-date coverage of electricity, magnetism, and semi-conductors. Topics that follow include starting systems, lighting systems, power accessorties, and the latest electronic systems, including speed controls and - new to this edition - automotive micro-computers. Also new to this text are ignition and passive restraint systems. The accompanying shop manual provides detailed coverage of specific repairs and service techniques using step-by-step procedures. The text and its correlated shop manual help prepare students for Automotive Service Excellence (ASE) certification; it also provides end-of-chapter questions that use a format similar to the ASE tests. The contents of both volumes are based on the competencies and standards set by the National Institute for Automotive Service Excellence.
Automotive Electricity and Electronics
This textbook comprehensively covers automotive electricity and electronics beginning at the basic circuit level, building up to computer control and digital storage oscilloscopes (DSOs). This is the only text with complete coverage of DSOs including explanations with what they are, when to use them, how to set them up and how to read them. Good and bad patterns are evaluated and illustrated with actual fluke DSO patterns. The repair and testing of starting, charging and ignition systems are emphasized.

Publishing and Culture
Publishing is currently going through dramatic changes, from globalisation to the digital revolution. A whole culture of events, practices and processes has emerged centred around books and writing, which means that scholars of publishing need to understand it as a social and cultural practice as much as it is a business. This book explores the culture, practice and business of book production, distribution, publication and reception. It discusses topics as diverse as emerging publishing models, book making, writers’ festivals, fan communities, celebrity authors, new publishing technologies, self-publishing, book design and the role of class, race, gender and sexuality in publishing or book culture. This volume will be of interest to those in the disciplines of publishing studies, creative writing, English literature, cultural studies and cultural industries.
Nature and Space in Contemporary Scottish Writing and Art
This book examines how contemporary Scottish writers and artists revisit and reclaim nature in the political and aesthetic context of devolved Scotland. Camille Manfredi investigates the interaction of landscape aesthetics and strategies of spatial representation in Scotland’s twenty-first-century literature and arts, focusing on the apparatuses designed by nature writers, poets, performers, walking artists and visual artists to physically and intellectually engage with the land and re-present it to themselves and to the world. Through a comprehensive analysis of a variety of site-specific artistic practices, artworks and publications, this book investigates the works of Scotland-based artists including Linda Cracknell, Kathleen Jamie, Thomas A. Clark, Gerry Loose, John Burnside, Alec Finlay, Hamish Fulton, Hanna Tuulikki and Roseanne Watt, with a view to exploring the ongoing re-invention of a territory-bound identity that dwells on an inclusive sense of place, as well as on a complex renegotiation with the time and space of Scotland.
