George and Robert Stephenson

George and Robert Stephenson

David Ross

The History Press Ltd
2018
nidottu
From poverty to immense wealth, from humble beginnings to international celebrity, George and Robert Stephenson’s was an extraordinary joint career. Together they overshadow all other engineers, except perhaps Robert’s friend Isambard Kingdom Brunel, for one vital reason: they were winners. For them it was not enough to follow the progress made by others. They had to be the best. Colossal in confidence, ability, energy and ambition, George Stephenson was also a man of huge rages and jealousies, determined to create his own legend. Brought up from infancy by his father, Robert was a very different person. Driven by the need to be the super-successful son his father wanted, he struggled with self-distrust and morbid depression. More than once his career and reputation teetered on the edge of disaster. But, by being flawed, he emerges as a far more interesting and sympathetic figure than the conventional picture of the ‘eminent engineer.’ David Ross’s biography of George and Robert Stephenson sheds much new light on this remarkable father and son. Authoritative and containing many new discoveries, it is a highly readable account of how these two men set the modern industrial world in motion.

The Steam Locomotive

The Steam Locomotive

The History Press Ltd

This steam locomotive has been steaming ahead for two centuries. The railway locomotive was invented by a Cornishman called Richard Trevithick in February 1804. No longer was man dependent on moving at his own speed or that of a horse. With smoke belching from its chimney, the steam locomotive could carry freight and passengers at unheard of speeds. It was even thought that men would die of asphyxiation at speeds greater than 30mph! From small beginnings the railway locomotive was responsible for the speed of industrialisation in many countries, for commuting, for tourism, for industrial progress in all fields and for making the people of the world a transient workforce. Without it, the world would be a different place.

Here at last, in layman's terms, is a fisherman's guide to the habitat and behaviour of saltwater fish. The author, an oceanographer and avid fly fisherman, explains the marine environment and the factors that affect where game fish congregate, how they move with tides and currents, what they see, smell, taste, and hear. The copiously illustrated text covers inshore and offshore habitat and will prove invaluable to anyone who fishes in saltwater, whether in the surf, on the flats, or out at sea. The ocean is vast. It pays to be educated.

The Royal Canadian Mounted Police 1873–1987

David Ross

Osprey Publishing
1988
nidottu
In 1870, after completing a 1000-mile trek across Canada, Lt. W.F. Butler, an officer of the British Army, recommended the establishment of a 'well-equipped force from 100 to 150 men, one-third to be mounted' for the purpose of policing the North West; three years later, the North West Mounted Police was established. By the late 1980s, this force, now the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP), had grown to include 18,000 members, with a budget of more than $1 billion. This book outlines the origins and evolution of the RCMP, detailing its formation, tasks, uniforms and insignia.

This book looks at the history of league (and in many cases non-league) attendances in every European country. From the great post-war boom to the decline of the 1980s and the subsequent rise again in the past two decades, he traces the patterns of each country's progress.

Hunter Mccain and the Cookbook

Hunter Mccain and the Cookbook

David Ross

2016

Remember middle school? Being afraid to wear the wrong clothes, scared of saying something stupid in class or awkward attempts at that first kiss? How about parents who don't understand? Or, teachers who put you to sleep in 0.2 seconds? Hunter McCain is living through all this and much more as an eighth grader at Franklin Middle School. Add in a cookbook filled with recipes far more interesting then lasagna or a casserole. Love potions, strength formulas, and invisibility are just some of the entrees offered up in the archaic treasure. But these recipes may not be the tastiest; brownies sprinkled with toe nails, fudge using arm pit hair, or gum made from spider webs could just ruin an appetite. Come on the zaniest adventure of a life time as Hunter and his friends use the cook book to encounter bullies, pretty girls, school projects, a dodge ball tournament, parents and even bank robbers.
