Book Description
A lavishly illustrated celebration of trucks and trucking, from the first motorized wagons to the advent of electric, driverless freight vehicles. Charting decade after decade of innovation and change, The Truck Book is a beautifully illustrated history of trucks, trucking culture, and the romance of the open road. Trucks, semis, and vans share their origins in the steam wagons of the 1800s and the invention of the modern combustion engine in the 1870s. As steam power gave way to gas and diesel engines, trucks evolved and diversified according to their desired purpose - becoming everything from panel vans and pickup trucks to heavy goods vehicles (HGVs), or construction trucks, such as log carriers or concrete transporters. Military forces worldwide soon realized the value in these vehicles, and so they played a defining role in the wars of the 20th century. In the meantime, they have also saved lives as ambulances and fire trucks and entertained the masses in the form of monster trucks. The Truck Book showcases the most important and iconic makes and models of every era - from the Ford TT to the Bedford TM Turbo 92 Series, to the Toyota Hilux. Along the way, it evokes the freedom and nostalgia of the open road, explores trucking culture, and shows how trucks and trucking companies, such as Mack and UPS, have won a place in fans' hearts. Weaving together stunning photographic catalogs with specially commissioned "visual tours," feature spreads on truck models, designers, and manufacturers, as well as on milestone events or technological developments over the last 200 years, The Truck Book is the most comprehensive and best-illustrated title available on the subject.

Book Description
'A Pinch Of Sage And Dredly' charts the somewhat unlikely adventures of shiftless loafers Jedec Sage and Salokin Dredly as they thwart evil, battle the establishment and set off on a quest for comfortable footwear. As they stamp their carbon footprint by jetsetting from London to New York and even Billings, Montana, they are beset by psychotic moustaches, shape-shifting polar bears, squeaky shoes, Swiss killer gnomes, nasty children's entertainers and surveillance pigeons. Will they find what they seek? Will their elderly neighbour, Albert, live his dream and get off with Stephanie Powers? Does any of it matter? Um... not really... but it's worth a read anyway. "A rip-roaring read!" The Billings Bugle "Not quite as bad as it could have been." The Duluth Chronicle Literary Supplement "Almost no grasp of leatherworking techniques - a real disappointment." Cobblers' Monthly.

Book Description
A Prisoner of War's tale of triumph, courage, and a spirit that could not be broken. This critical piece of history is a testament to the indomitable American spirit -- Beth W. Vinson brings Nathan Henry's story alive in a way that takes you into the jungle, into his cell, and into his mind as he fought courageously for survival and honor. His story and her presentation are profound, reminding us vividly of those who went before, and sacrificed so much, for all of us -- and our children. -Larry Slade, CAPT, USN (Ret), former POW, Desert Storm To Hell and Beyond is the story of one man who defied all odds to survive and who, through recalling painful memories, will lead the reader step-by-step into the horrors and debilitation suffered by him and all our men while held as POWs during the Vietnam conflict. This book, although based on one man, reveals the pride and determination of all POWs and their struggle to survive the tortures inflicted by the enemy in an effort to break their spirits and turn them against the country that had sent them to the Godforsaken jungles of Vietnam. He, and the other enlisted men who spent time as Prisoners of War, were not known to the general public simply because they weren't highly decorated pilots or thrust into the limelight during Operation Homecoming in 1973. This is a saga about triumph, courage, and patriotism. Follow the story of Nathan B. Henry, as told in vivid detail to author Beth W. Vinson, and tread with our nation's most honorable men on their war-weary journey To Hell and Beyond.
