Download or read book How to Drive on a Motorway written by Don Gates and published by . This book was released on 2021-03-10 with total page 62 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Driving on a Motorway Don has over 37 years experience of training and testing drivers from beginner to advanced. Using his extensive knowledge gained over a lifetime of working as a road safety professional, he brings you this essential guide to driving safely on the motorway. As learner drivers prior to 2018 we were banned from using motorways, yet the very moment we passed the most basic driving test we were deemed fit to drive on them with no further training required. Did you feel ready? I know I wasn't. It wasn't until June that year that learner drivers were allowed onto motorways with their instructors; but even with that change in legislation there is little guarantee that learners will receive this training. There may not be a motorway within reach, or your instructor may, like many, only teach you the basics required to get you through your test. So if you haven't had the advantage of this training and want to learn how to drive on a motorway, or you are just lacking in confidence then this is the book for you. Includes Highway Codes rules for motorways. Glovebox Guides: How to Drive on a Motorway Driving at Night & in Bad Weather www.ukdrivingskills.co.uk

Download or read book Driving While Black African American Travel and the Road to Civil Rights written by Gretchen Sorin and published by Liveright Publishing. This book was released on 2020-02-11 with total page 332 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bloomberg • Best Nonfiction Books of 2020: "[A] tour de force." The basis of a major PBS documentary by Ric Burns, this “excellent history” (The New Yorker) reveals how the automobile fundamentally changed African American life. Driving While Black demonstrates that the car—the ultimate symbol of independence and possibility—has always held particular importance for African Americans, allowing black families to evade the dangers presented by an entrenched racist society and to enjoy, in some measure, the freedom of the open road. Melding new archival research with her family’s story, Gretchen Sorin recovers a lost history, demonstrating how, when combined with black travel guides—including the famous Green Book—the automobile encouraged a new way of resisting oppression.

Book excerpt: "This book is the fruit of Alex Shepherd’s remarkable teaching experience in one of the most prestigious universities in the world. This publication will certainly become the main reference for science students at BSc, MSc and PhD levels.” Roberto Filippi, PhD, University College London "I highly recommend this book as essential reading for psychology students at all levels from undergraduate to PhD. It provides a friendly and engaging guide to developing critical evaluation skills through the use of clear and accessible examples that capture the reader’s interest." Dr Elisa Lewis, Senior Lecturer, London South Bank University “Alex Shepherd offers an accessible forensic filleting of published research articles, with helpful how-to guides showing what questions to ask and (more importantly) what the answers mean.” Gina Rippon, Professor Emeritus of Cognitive Neuroimaging, Author of The Gendered Brain If something is published, does that mean it’s true? Critical Analysis in Experimental Psychology encourages the critical reading and analysis of psychological research reports and shows how design principles and statistics are applied. A.J. Shephard empowers you to read between the lines of any published study and draw your own conclusions. Using synopses of published research articles as examples, the book shows how to work out if summary claims made by authors or the media accurately reflect an experiment’s real findings. Through guided analysis of both quantitative and qualitative real-world research, you will learn to: •Review research articles comprehensively and critically •Understand the rationale, logic, and purpose of an article •Identify the hypotheses (whether stated or unstated) •Describe and assess the suitability of the research methods used •Analyse the implied interpretation of the results, •Become an active – rather than a passive – reader of scientific articles. This book gives new insight into published research articles, helping you feel less like a student and more like a researcher. The critical skills learned will help you to navigate through the confusing science messages we are exposed to through all types of media. Dr A.J. Shepherd has over 20 years of experience teaching Critical Analysis. She is a Reader in Psychology at Birkbeck, University of London, UK and since 2004 she has run the third year Critical Analysis course, which she also designed.
