Book Description
“A very nicely presented history of one of the greatest airports in the world, its challenges and its prospects . . . Highly Recommended.” —Firetrench Love it or loathe it, Heathrow is the United Kingdom’s largest and most important airport by a distance. It currently serves over 190 routes to more than 80 countries. Over £100 billion of imports and exports are handled every year, making it the UK’s primary port by value. This fascinating book traces the often controversial development of the airport over the last 70 years from the most humble of beginnings. Thanks to the author’s in-depth knowledge the arguments for and against the building of a third runway are thoroughly and objectively described. There have been, and indeed still are, those who advocate building a brand-new hub airport for London, but it is a fact that Heathrow has long been the cornerstone of the local economy, providing jobs for over 70,000 staff. This entertaining, controversial and superbly illustrated book is about much more than the bitter third runway battle. It contains many amusing anecdotes and a wealth of statistics that serve to make Heathrow such a key part of the country’s infrastructure. “The history of Heathrow Airport from the iron age to the present day . . . includes interviews with people who worked at Heathrow on its first day.” —Forwarder Magazine “A really interesting book. It is mostly text, but there are a good selection of historic photographs which haven’t been seen anywhere else, including many of the aircraft once seen at Heathrow.” —Airport Spotting

Book Description
These are our guiding principles that take a holistic approach in order to deliver a completely new system of governance globally. We believe the current system is now obsolete and as such only a new system is the only answer. This is our new system that will bring wealth to all mankind of levels never thought of before. A new financial system that will eliminate all crisis, nation, individual and global debt all a thing of the past. A system that will eliminate unemployment and poverty and bring wealth and riches to all. Brand new cities, infrastructure and cleaner vehicles and machines etc. Above all a new system of law and order that is honored and feared by all. These are our important principles based on the notion of a nation's sovereignty, our super power status, an effective rule of law and international jurisdiction of the law and order in that a crime committed anywhere can be dealt with in any country on earth regardless; first, when it was committed and secondly, where it was committed. That means some crimes and acts have no time-limits. New powers to stripe-off any immunity and just by word of command get anyone apprehended in any country and put on trial there.

Book Description
Thirty years ago, few residents of Asian cities had ever been on a plane, much less outside their home countries. Today, flying, and flying abroad, is commonplace. How has this leap in cross-border mobility affected the design and use of such cities? And how is it accelerating broader socioeconomic and political changes in Asian societies? In Airport Urbanism, Max Hirsh undertakes an unprecedented study of airport infrastructure in five Asian cities—Bangkok, Hong Kong, Shenzhen, Kuala Lumpur, and Singapore. Through this lens he examines the exponential increase in international air traffic and its implications for the planning and design of the contemporary city. By investigating the low-cost, informal, and transborder transport systems used by new members of the flying public—such as migrant workers, retirees, and Asia’s emerging middle class—he uncovers an architecture of incipient global mobility that has been inconspicuously inserted into places not typically associated with the infrastructure of international air travel. Drawing on material gathered in restricted zones of airports and border control facilities, Hirsh provides a fascinating, up-close view of the mechanics of cross-border mobility. Moreover, his personal experience of growing up and living on three continents inflects his analyses with unique insight into the practicalities of international migration and into the mindset of people on the move.
