Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Gas, Light and Coke Company: An Account of the Progress of the Company From Its Incorporation by Royal Charter in the Year 1912 to the Present Time, 1812-1912 It is probable that the ordinary man of business, absorbed in the daily routine of his special calling, seldom spares a moment for reflection on the chance beginnings of institutions on whose aid he now depends for his very existence. They have become a part of his world as familiar and unquestioned as the suns diurnal round, with the cry of the newsboy at dusk and the milkman in the morning. The seventeenth-century Lloyd, who set up his coffee-house as a resort for seafaring gossips, is no more than a myth in the modern shipman's liturgy; and travellers by the night mail from London to Edinburgh, intent on errands of pleasure or of gain, pull the black lamp-shade over the flickering flame and settle themselves as cosily as may be in the carriage corner, without giving a moment's thought to the long labour of Stephenson in the dawn of the century gone by. Yet neither Lloyd's nor the modern railway sprang full-armed from the inventive brain: these institutions have slowly evolved to the needs of the time, social, political, industrial, which, step by step, induced their development. The steamship and the steam-driven locomotive, again, are dependent for their utility on the supply of coal: without their power of propulsion they are worth no more than their weight as scrap-iron. It is, indeed, hardly too much to say that neither one nor the other could have been invented elsewhere than in our own land, where the delvers have been busy since the time when Dan Chaucer's nimble pen "moved over bills of lading."

Download or read book The Evolution and Significance of the Powered Bulk Carrier written by Roy Fenton and published by Liverpool University Press. This book was released on 2023-04-03 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book is the first to detail the 170-year evolution of the powered bulk carriers which continue to have a major role in the world’s trades and economies. Their design and technological development is traced from the screw colliers of the 1850s which revolutionised the British coastal coal trade. The same engineering principles were applied to produce ocean-going steam and later motor tramps. By the end of the 19th century, the capabilities and economies of these ‘black freighters’ had captured from the sailing ship much of the world’s trade in bulk commodities. In the second half of the 20th century, the tramps in turn evolved into multi-purpose, dry bulk carriers. These workhorses of the sea transport commodities including metallic ores, grain, coal, timber and other minerals. Quantities of up to 400,000 tons are carried in the largest, specialised ore carriers. In a parallel development, applying the same technical principles produced smaller yet efficient steam and later motor coasters which came to dominate short sea shipping. The book concludes with a discussion of how the economies of transportation provided by bulk carriers have had profound effects on industrialisation, globalisation and the world’s economy, and discusses the environmental impact of these ships.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'Endlessly fascinating. . . White is such a brilliant historian' Mail on Sunday Lasting for six long years, the Blitz transformed life in the capital beyond recognition, marking a time of almost constant anxiety, disruption, deprivation and sacrifice for Londoners. With the capital the nation's frontline during the Second World War, by its end, 30,000 inhabitants had lost their lives. While much has been written about 'the Myth of the Blitz', its riveting social history has often been overlooked. Unearthing what it was actually like for those living through those tempestuous years, Jerry White paints a fascinating portrait of the daily lives of ordinary Londoners, telling the story through their own voices. 'As a history of the capital in wartime, it is probably unsurpassable' Sunday Telegraph 'An impressive history of the capital at war. . . White, an accomplished chronicler of London's history, tells it with brio and a confident mastery of the sources' Literary Review
Download or read book Demons of Domesticity written by Anne Clendinning and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-05-15 with total page 568 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Demons of Domesticity offers a social history of the English gas industry from the 1880s to the late 1930s, with an emphasis on the corporations that served London and the Home Counties. It documents the hitherto unexamined role that women played in the development of the industry by considering two major interlocking themes: the expansion of sales occupations for women in the English gas industry, and the parallel growth and diversification of the industry's marketing strategies. During the late-nineteenth century, the home became the focal point for a number of debates concerning female employment and gender roles. As an increasing number of labour saving domestic devices came onto the market women found themselves targeted by manufacturing companies and utility suppliers, both as consumers and advocates. Foremost among these companies were representatives of the gas industry who actively addressed domestic issues. As the promoters, purveyors and consumers of domestic technology, Demons of Domesticity suggests that English female employees and consumers were not the hapless dupes of corporate marketing, but instead had clear ideas about how domestic technology could and should be used to reconfigure the public and private spaces of work and home.
