This book was released on 2007-07-25 with total page 88 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The aircraft manufacturer Airbus was established in 1970 by the French, German and UK governments (with the Spanish government joining a year later) in order to develop a coordinated and collaborative European response to the dominance of the global civil aviation market by American companies. Since October 2006, following the decision by BAE Systems to sell its stake in the company, Airbus has been wholly owned by EADS (a joint venture between its French, German and Spanish parent companies).Recent Developments with Airbus (HC 427-I) examines recent challenges faced by Airbus, including reduced competitiveness as a result of the weak US dollar, delays and cost overruns in its flagship A380 aircraft, its restructuring programme, and the financing of the A350 XWB project. It also looks at the future role for the UK Government and the Regional Development Agencies, the implementation of the UK's National Aerospace Technology Strategy, and the impact of the current World Trade Organization (WTO) dispute between the US and the European Union (EU) over government subsidies.Given the fact that the sale of BAE's stake in the company has left the UK without a significant shareholding in
Download or read book Uk Cities written by David William and published by New Africa Press. This book was released on 2010-10 with total page 182 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This work focuses on the largest cities in England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, countries which make up the United Kingdom. It provides basic history and geography with an emphasis on life in contemporary times. Other subjects covered include cultural diversity, demographic composition and many other aspects of life in the nation's largest urban centres. The United Kingdom is one of the most urbanised countries in the world and, because of that, the cities covered in the book collectively constitute a microcosm of this metropolitan nation. When you learn about the cities, you also learn about the country in general especially the urban aspect of the United Kingdom as a highly industrialised nation. The industrial revolution led to the establishment of towns and cities and today these urban centres are central to life in this vibrant nation. If you are going to the United Kingdom for the first time, you may find this work to be useful. But even those who don't intend to go to the UK may learn some important things about some of the most dynamic urban centres in the world including London.
Download or read book Life in the United Kingdom written by David William and published by New Africa Ppress. This book was released on 2010-10 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The author looks at the United Kingdom and its constituent parts - England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland - to present a comprehensive picture of this island nation. Subjects covered include history, geography, the nation's economy, culture and its ethnic and racial composition which has become more diversified through the years especially since the sixties. There are also regional contrasts in terms of culture and lifestyle, language and other areas of life even within the countries which collectively constitute the UK; for example, regional differences within England or Scotland, a subject that has also been addressed in the book. The author also looks at the changing face of the nation as a result of immigration. The UK is home to many people from different parts of the world who have given the country a new identity in terms of demographic composition and even culture. It has been a gradual transformation through the decades, a period which has witnessed large numbers of immigrants entering the United Kingdom mainly from countries outside Europe. The work is a general introduction to life in the United Kingdom and an interesting portrait of the nation's cultural landscape. People going to the United Kingdom will be able to learn some of the important cultural aspects of life in the country - what they are expected to do and what not to do in their interactions with Britons - in order to get a better understanding of life in this island nation which has remained essentially the same in terms of culture in spite of the large numbers of immigrants who have settled in the country mostly from the former British colonies in Asia, Africa and the West Indies. The book is intended for members of the general public. Tourists will find this work to be useful. It will also help some students, especially those going to the UK, learn some important aspects of life in this island nation. It's also helpful to immigrants and others who want to live in the UK.
Download or read book Defending Gloucestershire and Bristol written by Mike Osborne and published by Fonthill Media. This book was released on 2024-06-03 with total page 291 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Gloucestershire's strategic location straddling the Severn is reinforced by Bristol's importance as a port. The Forest of Dean and the Cotswolds are densely populated by prehistoric hillforts and Gloucester, Cirencester and Winchcombe were important throughout the Roman and Anglo-Saxon periods. The Normans built substantial castles at Bristol, Gloucester and Berkeley, scene of Edward II's murder, with many more of earth and timber. Many figured in the conflicts between rival factions culminating in the Battle of Tewkesbury. In the Civil War, Bristol underwent two sieges and Gloucester another and one of the last battles, at Stow, followed continuous skirmishing. The next centuries saw volunteer forces established, formalised by the State by the end of Victoria's reign, to counter threats external and internal. A nascent aircraft industry would develop into aircraft factories and airfields in the First World War with further development of training and aircraft storage facilities for the newly formed RAF during the inter-War period. Anti-invasion defences were constructed in the Second World War, but the primary effort was in logistics: bases for arriving US troops; RAF and USAAF training airfields and depots; and communications facilities. This last aspect, along with intelligence gathering, continued into the Cold War and beyond.
