Download or read book Garden Plants for Central Otago written by Ralph Markby and published by Longacre Press. This book was released on 2005-11-18 with total page 168 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Central Otago is a region with extreme climatic conditions: and within the region itself climate statistics reveal differing rainfall, temperatures, and soil quality. This book gives prac-tical advice on which trees, shrubs and perennials may be grown successfully in Central Otago and the Lakes District. The region is booming: people are moving to Central Otago in droves from all over New Zealand. And they are planting gardens with all their favourite trees and shrubs only to find, after a dry autumn and harsh winter, that many plants have died. This guide is a showcase of plants which will thrive in this most beautiful and challenging area. Ralph Markby's horticultural experience has been gained over the past 40 years. He covers essential information on climate, average temperatures, average rates of rainfall, soil variations, and includes a list of 'favourite plants' which have been grown successfully in the region. After a short introduction to garden development where the author advises on planting a lawn, growing shelter from sun and wind, pruning, irrigation, compost and more, he moves on to his lists of suitable plants. This includes a section on trees for the smaller property, and trees for larger areas, a section on conifers, deciduous trees, shrubs, perennials, ground cover, climbers, roses, rock gardens and finally, a plant sourcing guide. There is also an extensive plant index. The book is illustrated throughout in colour with stunning photos from the author's own collection.
Download or read book The Wilfred Saga written by DAVID. BEARE and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A history of British autocycles (lightweight pedal-assisted motorcycles under 100cc) which were popular from 1934 to their demise in the mid-1950s. Autocycles were affordable, easy to use, economical and did not need a full motorcycle license to ride. They were more or less created by a 17/6d road-tax concession allowed by Chancellor Phillip Snowden in the 1931 budget.The British autocycle served multitudes of riders well: from air-raid wardens in WWII to midwives, office workers, housewives and commuters, all benefitted from the ease and economy of what was effectively a motorised bicycle. Many major manufacturers in the ‘big’ motorcycle world (Scott, James, Excelsior, Rudge, Francis-Barnett, BSA, Coventry-Eagle) produced autocycles with varying degrees of success before, during and after WWII, though ‘serious’ motorcyclists on big-capacity machines always looked down their noses at autocycles. They were not ‘proper’ motorcycles and were given the belittling nickname “Wilfreds” (after a cartoon strip Pip, Squeak & Wilfred, published in the Daily Mirror) which contemporary motorcycling magazines used at the time.This book is a long-overdue look at autocycles and their place in the social fabric of Britain over a couple of decades. Profusely illustrated with many rare colour images from factory brochures, road-test reports and technical details, The Wilfred Saga is a deeply-researched, authoritative study of a long-ignored section of motorcycling history.

Download or read book A Century of Motoring written by Jon Pressnell and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2015-05-10 with total page 113 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The lot of the motorist has changed greatly over the last hundred years. In the early twentieth century, only the most wealthy could afford a motor car and there were very few rules and regulations. Now most British people own a car and are protected by air bags and crumple zones, but also hemmed in by parking regulations, traffic jams and speed restrictions. In this richly illustrated history of the past hundred years of motoring, expert Jon Pressnell explores the main developments, such as the introduction and refinement of the driving test; the improvement of roads and the impact of the motorway; and how affordable cars such as the Mini have helped democratise driving. The evolution of the car itself is also explored, from the coachbuilt custom-made cars of the 1910s, through to the more attainable mass-produced models of the inter-war years, and finally to today's complex and sometimes hybrid-powered vehicles.

Download or read book Derek Bell written by Richard Heseltine and published by Porter Press. This book was released on 2018-08-14 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Derek Bell’s name became inextricably linked with that of Porsche during his long and hugely successful career as a racing driver. In this new 276-page book, Bell collaborates with renowned motorsport author Richard Heseltine to give the reader a very personal insight into his experiences racing for the legendary German marque. The approach taken by this latest publication from Porter Press International is to look at every race Bell drove for Porsche, in detail and with revealing comments from the book’s subject. Light is cast on Bell’s most prestigious victories with Porsche - four of his five in the Le Mans 24 Hours, three in the Daytona 24 Hours, two in the World Sportscar Championship - and many more besides. Bell describes the Porsches he raced, from the fearsome 917 to the iconic 956, 962, and 911. And he shares his thoughts on the now-legendary drivers he raced with, including six-time Le Mans winner Jacky Ickx, the famously flamboyant Hans Stuck, and two immense talents who lost their lives to the sport, Jo Siffert and Stefan Bellof. The overall effect is a fascinating trip back in time to a golden era for Porsche and sports car racing as a whole.
