Barnsley Buses
In Barnsley Buses we have a superb combination of talents. Stephen Farnsworth is not simply an enthusiast where Barnsley Buses are concerned, he is also a singularly competent photographer. Put these talents together and combine them with many years spent working for Yorkshire Traction and the potential for a totally unique publication of Barnsley Buses, rescue vehicles and the facilities required to run and maintain this vital service, is there. Steve also holds a unique collection of bus memorabilia, much of which is also illustrated in the book. Roger Glister, is a specialist transport historian, who has concentrated on the development of public transport in Yorkshire for many years. Roger's research and writing skills deftly bring to life the story of post war bus transport in the Barnsley area. When combined with the photographs and memorabilia supplied by Steve Farnsworth, Roger's historical framework and descriptive prose brings to life this fascinating account of post war public transport in Barnsley.

The Art of Public Writing
Today’s professionals recognize the need to elevate written communication beyond argument-driven pedantry, political polemic, and obtuse pontification. Whether the goal is to write the next serious work of best-selling nonfiction, to develop a platform as a public scholar, or simply to craft clear and concise workplace communication, The Art of Public Writing demystifies the process, showing why it’s not just nice, but necessary, to connect with those inside and outside one’s area of expertise. Drawing on a diverse set of examples ranging from Charles Darwin’s On the Origin of Species to Steven Levitt’s Freakonomics, Zachary Michael Jack offers invaluable advice for researchers, scholars, and working professionals determined to help interpret field-specific debates for wider audiences, address complex issues in the public sphere, and successfully engage audiences beyond the Corner Office and the Ivory Tower.

Breaking the Ice
This book provides a survey of the academic research and knowledge on the economics and management of professional hockey. While professional football, baseball, and basketball have been the focus of sports economists for decades, professional hockey has been left out of most economic analyses of the sports industry. This book fills that gap by presenting a selection of research focusing specifically on hockey, such as labor relations and player behavior in the NHL, salary determination and player careers, ticket demand and ticket pricing, and emerging topics such as diversity and discrimination.
