The coming of the railways signalled the transformation of European society, allowing the quick and cheap mass transportation of people and goods on a previously unimaginable scale. By the early decades of the twentieth century, however, the domination of rail transport was threatened by increased motorised road transport which would quickly surpass and eclipse the trains, only itself to be challenged in the twenty-first century by a renewal of interest in railways. Yet, as the studies in this volume make clear, to view the relationship between road and rail as a simple competition between two rival forms of transportation, is a mistake. Rail transport did not vanish in the twentieth century any more than road transport vanished in the nineteenth with the appearance of the railways. Instead a mutual interdependence has always existed, balancing the strengths and weaknesses of each system. It is that interdependence that forms the major theme of this collection. Divided into two main sections, the first part of the book offers a series of chapters examining how railway companies reacted to increasing competition from road transport, and exploring the degree to which railways depended on road transportation at different times and places. Part two focuses on road mobility, interpreting it as the innovative success story of the twentieth century. Taken together, these essays provide a fascinating reappraisal of the complex and shifting nature of European transportation over the last one hundred years.

This book is the memoir of a 79 year old woman who was a child and now is a Mother, Grandmother, and Great Grandmother. Life now is very different than that documented here. Although the present generation will look upon it as something that in their minds must be fiction. However, it is in deed non-fiction. A real story, about a real person, in real space and time. Different, yes, but nonetheless real. This story is very real to the author and those of whom and to whom she writes. Many will read and identify immediately. This story ends well. Not all stories end as well. It is that thought that gave the passion to bring the work to completion. The author, a well aged Mother, Grandmother, and Great Grandmother, satisfied with her life as she not only looks back, but as she looks forward. A life well lived, what most people desire for themselves and for that of their friends and family. Reading this book will give the insight to how that can be a reality for all.

For many people, hiking 4,600 miles in one "go" may seem like a crazy-- even foolish idea. But for some others it is an opportunity to see isolated places, to discover oneself, and of course to have fun doing it! Such is the case with me. A few years ago I had never even heard of the North Country Trail. I had no idea that such a daunting task of building a continuous footpath across seven northern states was underway, and had been for more than thirty years. I was immediately excited and fascinated with the idea. After doing a little research and finding out what the trail was all about, I began to feel a sense of longing, a desire to hike beyond Minnesota and see what else the North Country had to offer. This is my story of that journey, filled with first-hand accounts of the trials and triumphs faced during this 6-month adventure.

Are holiness standards relevant for the 21st-century church? This book uses the author's testimony to explore the relevance of holiness standards and whether dress standards are scriptural or legalism. The author, Sylvia Brown, shares her journey about why she walked away from holiness standards and what God revealed to her during her journey. Regardless of which side of the debate you are on, this book is worth reading as an opportunity to ponder all the relevant sides of the equation.

Blown Away And Back Again finds Hannah Bent dodging traffic and sadhus in Kathmandu; chatting with political exiles in Ilam; sleeping with feral dogs in India's Thar Desert (on vacation no less) and hiking up to Lo Monthang, one of Nepal's most storied and secluded villages in the Upper Mustang region. But in addition to her often unexpected exploits, this book also provides a glimpse into the everyday lives of the people and nation of Nepal, a country so far removed from the First World problems we face in America, yet on the verge of a modernization that will drastically affect the way most people live, work, and think. As Bent shows, while we may commonly think of Nepal as some sort of idyllic "Shangri La" or "lost, forgotten kingdom," the real Nepal is actually quite the opposite, although no less mystifying.

In Giving It All Away…and Getting It All Back Again, Green unpacks time-tested principles that will help you reap the benefits of generosity for multiple generations to come. In 1970, David Green began making picture frames in his garage. With hard work, he and his wife, Barbara, turned that humble beginning into the world's largest privately owned arts-and-crafts retailer, employing forty-three thousand people across nine hundred stores in forty-seven states. But it's not all about business. Giving It All Away…and Getting It All Back Again--part memoir, part personal manifesto--will change the way you think about prosperity, teaching you that true wealth is about more than money.

As Hobby Lobby has grown, Green has stayed true to this philosophy by adhering to three key principles: Work with all your heart for God and not for men Think ahead, but hold your plans lightly--you don't know what God has in store for you Consider what you want your legacy to be Follow Green as he invites you to see that a life marked by generosity can also be a life full of adventure--a life that pays the best rewards, changes the lives of those around you, and gives you the tools you need to leave a lasting legacy.
