Concorde, A Designer's Life
Do you remember the time we used to do New York in three hours? Even twenty years after its final flight, Concorde remains the pinnacle of aviation design. The aircraft is still unmatched, which has led to a vast swathe of material being written about the aeroplane itself. However, relatively little has been said about the people who designed it. Concorde, A Designer's Life is an autobiography peppered with anecdotes from the team, humorous life stories and several 'technibits', all covering the design period of Concorde. Ted Talbot, who began his career at BAC as an aerodynamicist and later became chief design engineer, has combined the technical narrative with personal and family reminiscences to remind the reader that engineers have lives too. The path to Mach 2 was bumpy, with threats of cancellation and opposition from the Americans and the Russians, but this generally indicated to the Concorde team that they were on the right path! This informative, witty and thoroughly enjoyable peek into an unusual life is a valuable addition to any bookshelf.
The Land Of
A cold chill wakes Ted up in the middle of the night. He was sure he had closed the window. He rubs his eyes and looks up. Shattered glass was sprinkled across the hard wood fl oor of his bedroom. A sharp point jabs his back. Terribly sorry about the window, a deep voice says mockingly. What Ted had feared all along was coming true. Not even a year ago Ted was thrust into a colorful magical world called The Land Of. It was a world of wonder and fantasy. Ted had soon learned it was also a world plagued by a dark magic. The dark magic had followed him home. Everyone he loved and trusted was now in danger. He knew where it would lead. All the mystery and adventures of the past months had pointed him in one direction: The Horrid Frontier.

Mail by Rail - The Story of the Post Office and the Railways
Railways have been used for the carriage of mail since soon after the Liverpool & Manchester Railway opened in 1830, the development of the first travelling post offices following, enabling the Post Office to achieve maximum efficiencies in mail transportation. As the rail network grew the mail network grew with it, reaching a peak with the dedicated mail trains that ran between London and Aberdeen. The Post Office also turned to railways when it sought a solution to the London traffic that hindered its operations in the Capital, obtaining powers to build its own narrow gauge, automatic underground railway under the streets to connect railway stations and sorting offices.
