Book excerpt: Eminent Newfoundland Railway historian Mont Lingard paints vivid pictures of the “Iron Men”—tough and dedicated railroaders and their trains that opened up Newfoundland’s territory and economy, and serviced its interior and outport communities, beginning in the nineteenth century and lasting throughout most of the twentieth. An institution for half a century before Newfoundland became a Canadian province, the Railway began in 1898 to enable the development of the island’s mining and forestry resources, long before the construction of highways or even gravel roads. Its 547-mile mainline—the longest narrow-gauge railway system in North America—linked up the island’s branch lines and its communities from east to west for 107 years and made possible the construction and staffing of North American army, air force, and naval bases during WWII. With locomotives powered first by steam and then by diesel, the Iron Men worked to the limit on long tours of duty. Away from home for weeks or even months, they pressed into service the Railway’s freight, passenger, and snowplow trains through rugged and more gentle terrain, all year long, even in the gruelling months of the fiercest winters. Iron Men presents the legacy of the Railway in the words and images of those who were involved. A collection of original interviews and portraits of railwaymen, along with historical photographs from their own collections, makes Iron Men a rich source of fascination for railway buffs and regional history enthusiasts.
Download or read book The Newfoundland Railway 1898 1969 written by Les Harding and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2016-04-20 with total page 239 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The building of a narrow-gauge trans-island railway in nineteenth century Newfoundland was a reckless and even desperate experiment. The island was poor, the population small, and the local politics rife with bitter sectarian conflict. Against these unpromising odds, the Newfoundland Railway came into existence on June 29, 1898, and operated successfully for well over half a century. This book offers a comprehensive history of the Newfoundland Railway, focusing especially on the railroad's early years and the important early contributions of railway engineer R.G. Reid. A chronology and glossary are also included, along with several appendices which offer eye-witness accounts of the railway as recorded in period news articles, personal correspondence, poetry, and songs.

Book excerpt: When a remote Peruvian village is reduced to ash in seconds, the Shepherds face a horrific question: Is this the work of a man-made weapon of unthinkable power, or is God raining down judgment from above, as some believe? As the recently installed leader of the Joshua Bravo team, Jedidiah Johnson shifts into covert operation mode to follow rumors of a new energy-based weapon able to incinerate a target—even a human target—with no warning. With the assistance of the CIA, Jed’s team deploys to Hong Kong to extract the Chinese scientist who helped develop the weapon. What the Shepherds learn from Dr. Zhao confirms their worst fears: The weapon is real and has disappeared from the testing facility where it was held.

But as Jed and his team race the clock to find and disable the weapon, Victor begins to unfold secret plans for another attack . . . And this target is much closer to home.

This book was released on 2015-10-04 with total page 101 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: HumBus: The Local Transit Guide to Rural Humboldt County, California is a 100-page reference for navigating local bus systems. Both public and private rural transit systems are detailed for bus travelers--with and without bicycles. Social service providers and planners will also find HumBus useful for learning about how--with limited budgets--transportation systems work to cover a large geographic area despite a low population density. When compared to urban systems, Humboldt transit may be considered a step behind, but when compared to other rural systems, Humboldt transit's complexity is definitely a sustainable step ahead with keeping people connected to community services and to each other over mountains, through the woods, and along watersheds, in the northwest corner of California. HumBus is the result of community collaboration among Access Consultants, the Area 1 Agency on Aging (a1aa.org), and Redwood Coast Music Festivals (rcmfest.org).

Book excerpt: My name is Amber Reynolds. There are three things you should know about me: 1. I’m in a coma. 2. My husband doesn’t love me anymore. 3. Sometimes I lie. Amber wakes up in a hospital. She can’t move. She can’t speak. She can’t open her eyes. She can hear everyone around her, but they have no idea. Amber doesn’t remember what happened, but she has a suspicion her husband had something to do with it. Alternating between her paralyzed present, the week before her accident, and a series of childhood diaries from twenty years ago, this brilliant psychological thriller asks: Is something really a lie if you believe it's the truth?
Download or read book Hooked written by Nir Eyal and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2014-11-04 with total page 203 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Revised and Updated, Featuring a New Case Study How do successful companies create products people can’t put down? Why do some products capture widespread attention while others flop? What makes us engage with certain products out of sheer habit? Is there a pattern underlying how technologies hook us? Nir Eyal answers these questions (and many more) by explaining the Hook Model—a four-step process embedded into the products of many successful companies to subtly encourage customer behavior. Through consecutive “hook cycles,” these products reach their ultimate goal of bringing users back again and again without depending on costly advertising or aggressive messaging. Hooked is based on Eyal’s years of research, consulting, and practical experience. He wrote the book he wished had been available to him as a start-up founder—not abstract theory, but a how-to guide for building better products. Hooked is written for product managers, designers, marketers, start-up founders, and anyone who seeks to understand how products influence our behavior. Eyal provides readers with: • Practical insights to create user habits that stick. • Actionable steps for building products people love. • Fascinating examples from the iPhone to Twitter, Pinterest to the Bible App, and many other habit-forming products.
