Zimbabwe's Mysterious Mountain Disappearances
A riveting and profound read. This intriguing book retains its momentum from beginning to end. The mysterious disappearances of people in the mist-enshrouded mountains of the Eastern Highlands are used effectively to lay bare much of a dark past. It contrasts events in the new Zimbabwe of the nineties against Rhodesia and a fractured pre-colonial history. It kept me spellbound. Africa holds a unique fascination amidst its exotic landscape and Cliff McIlwaine captures and brings together an assortment of colourful characters from different cultural backgrounds which enhance the dramatic tensions. A magical combination of the prosaic and the spiritual creates fascinating insights into the social, political and historical ethos of Zimbabwe. An enjoyable novel which certainly held my attention. Prof C.H.Muller, MA (Wales), PhD (London), D.ED (SA), DLitt (UOFS), Editor.

VOICES TO THE CLOUDS The Collective Nature Journal
VOICES TO THE CLOUDS, is more than merely a study with a fifteen year compass but a collection of gathered nature notes set in context with the writings of arguably England's greatest naturalists Gilbert White, John Clare and Richard Jefferies and others. The book is divided into 5 year sections and within each is a monthly narrative with climate tables, first butterfly sighting, birds and butterflies by month, top three daily birds, temperature and pressure summary, frost and heat sequences and more. The final section assembles all the data from the previous three sections and to conclude this collective nature journal there is a fulsome index. VOICES TO THE CLOUDS may best be described as another slice of the natural world that has been extrapolated from the toilsome drudgery of amassing observations for "experience proves that the longer a single locality is studied the more is found in it". Richard Jefferies 1885
VOICES TO THE CLOUDS Birds Butterflies Climate
After a journey lasting fifteen years amassing observations day after day and a further year extrapolating and compiling the data into a coherent whole VOICES TO THE CLOUDS is a worthy result of these endeavours. As a work of reference the book should prove invaluable to devotees of birds, butterflies and climate and, indeed for those of an inquiring disposition into all the natural world has to offer. The book contains birds by month, frost and heat sequences, first butterfly sightings, climate tables and more, with an engaging narrative ably supported by contextual notes from revered naturalists of the past, together with a comprehensive index. Perhaps VOICES TO THE CLOUDS best strength lies in the presentation of a wealth of data gathered from a fifteen year compass, nevertheless the book remains accessible to all, for scientific study to every interested person that has an affinity with English nature

New Mozart Documents

New Mozart Documents

Palgrave Macmillan

O.E.Deutsch's documentary biography of Mozart, first published in German in 1961 and translated into English in 1965, presented all the contemporary documentation on Mozart then known to scholars. During three decades of research more have come to light, and Dr Eisen himself has substantially augmented their number with a methodical search through contemporary research material - newspapers, diaries, memoirs, books and many others. This new edition presents all the material discovered since the English edition of the Deutsch volume, with full description and documentation. This book is essential reading for anyone concerned with the basic information on Mozart's life, his activities and the reception of his music.

Potteries Motor Traction

Potteries Motor Traction

In the early 1980s Potteries Motor Traction was part of the state-owned National Bus Company with all vehicles in standard NBC poppy red livery. This would change with the sale of the company to its management following a government policy to sell off the National Bus Company piecemeal before deregulation. A management buyout introduced a bright red and yellow livery, and PMT then began a policy of expansion by acquiring local independents before purchasing the Chester and Wirral operations of Crosville from Drawlane and later Pennine Blue of Denton, Greater Manchester. Following the sale of PMT to Badgerline in 1994 and the subsequent merger with GRT to form First Bus, PMT was again under the control of a big group and would go on to adopt a standard First Group livery. The area covered would start to contract as outstations were closed or transferred to neighbouring First Group operators. Today they have just a solitary garage at Adderley Green. This book aims to show the variety of vehicles and liveries from 1980 until 2020 and includes photos of the home fleet as well as the Red Rider Crosville and Pennine Blue operations while under PMT control.
Independent Buses Around Stoke-on-Trent

Independent Buses Around Stoke-on-Trent

In this book, Cliff Beeton looks at the plethora of independent operators that have, alongside PMT, provided bus services in and around Stoke. Operators featured here include Berresfords, Stoniers and Turners, who were later swallowed up by the ever-expanding PMT, and the likes of Procters, Pooles Coachways and Stevensons, who eventually fell by the wayside or were sold to larger groups. Local coach operators like Bakers of Biddulph, Copelands, Scraggs, Ladyline and Stanways expanded into buses after deregulation, alongside new starters like Knotty Bus, Wardle Transport, D&G Bus, RML Travel, Midland Classic, Stantons of Stoke, and Select Bus Services. These all added further variety to the local bus scene. With previously unpublished images throughout, this book celebrates the variety of buses in and around the city.

Few people would have envisaged that when the fledgling D&G Bus commenced operations in April 1998 with four vehicles that twenty-five years later it would become larger than its neighbour, First Potteries. Its journey has seen expansion through acquisitions of other local bus operators and an increase in tendered services following the collapse of other firms. Rationalisation by Arriva in Cannock, Macclesfield and Winsford provided more opportunities for further growth outside the existing area. Although becoming part of Centrebus in 2019, D&G Bus continues to be run as a separate entity with its two-tone red livery only recently being replaced with a red, blue and yellow scheme applied in the Centrebus style. Over the years the fleet has been diversified, initially with van-derived minibuses followed by Dennis Darts with various bodywork and Optare and Alexander Dennis vehicles, many purchased new. In this book Cliff Beeton’s fine selection of photographs illustrates the rich and varied story of D&G Bus over the last twenty-five years.
Railways Around the Potteries

Railways Around the Potteries

The railways around Stoke-on-Trent have always tended to be overlooked by enthusiasts as they turned their attention to the more glamorous and much busier activities around neighbouring Crewe, but interesting traffic can still be found in the area. Freight has always played its part with the local collieries supplying coal to the power stations and the Shelton Iron & Steel works receiving and dispatching finished products. The local pottery industry also received china clay by rail. Passenger trains were found in the form of local trains to Derby and Crewe and expresses to London, Manchester and the Midlands and the West Country, supplemented at holiday times by specials to Blackpool and North Wales. In the last few decades freight traffic has declined, but with the new Land Recovery site at Pinnox Sidings and the Electromotive locomotive repair works at the former Railfreight depot at Longport the variety has recently increased again. Privatisation has brought a multitude of different liveries to the local rail scene too. This book takes a look at the changes in the area over the last forty years.
From Crosville to Oblivion

In the early 1980s Crosville was one of the largest subsidiaries of the National Bus Company, but this was to change from 1986 as the government of the day declared that Crosville would be split into separate English and Welsh subsidiaries as a prelude to privatisation and deregulation. Then in 1988 Crosville was sold to ATL Holdings, which proceeded to sell off all the newest coaches and some prime properties. Later the company sold Crosville to Drawlane, which divided the bulk of it up amongst fellow Drawlane subsidiaries before selling the remainder on to PMT. In this book Cliff Beeton examines the fortunes of the South Cheshire depots at Crewe, Etruria, Congleton, Macclesfield and Northwich. He goes on to document how they fared under separate Drawlane companies before being put back together again as Arriva, which would ultimately pull the plug and abandon the whole area in April 2023.
