Scotland's Railways in the 1980s & 1990s
Author: Peter J. Green
Publisher: Pen and Sword Transport
ISBN: 1526773554
Category : Transportation
Languages : en
Pages : 376
Book Description
“A book full of nostalgia for those who thought railways after the end of steam would be an endless stream of lookalike boxes . . . a revelation.” —Rail Advent In the 1980s and early 1990s, Scotland was an excellent destination for the railway enthusiast. The many locomotive hauled trains running through splendid scenery, together with the surviving railway infrastructure and mechanical signaling, provided many fine photographic opportunities. Peter J. Green’s first railway visit to Scotland was on board the Fair Maid railtour to Perth, behind Flying Scotsman in 1983. The following year, he again traveled to Scotland, this time on the F & W Railtours’ The Skirl o’ the Pipes 4, to Kyle of Lochalsh and Mallaig, his first visit to the Scottish Highlands. Green had previously been traveling abroad for railways, but impressed by what he saw, he decided that he would quickly return to photograph the Scottish railway scene, before it changed too much. This was the start of a series of visits, each for one or two weeks, between 1984 and June 1991, covering the whole country. This book is a photographic record of the locomotives, trains and infrastructure of the railways of Scotland and the landscapes through which the trains ran, as recorded by Green’s various cameras during the period of his visits. “Lots to enjoy, not just the Scottish locomotives themselves, but their trains and the world beyond, which in some cases has changed beyond recognition in the years since these photographs were taken. Highly recommended.” —The Railway Magazine

The Privatization Putsch
Author: Herschel Hardin
Publisher: Halifax, N.S. : Institute for Research on Public Policy = Institut de recherches politiques
ISBN:
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 244
Book Description
The author addresses what he sees as an imbalance in a literature strongly oriented toward the language of privatization. He suggests the definitions of "business" have too often been confused with concepts of "enterprise"--That motivations for public enterprise may well go far beyond the profit motive. He argues that the motivation of public enterprise may be to provide the best possible service at cost, be competitive, excel as an enterprise, innovate, grow, thrive, and contend.

The Social Construction of Technological Systems
Author: Wiebe E. Bijker
Publisher: MIT Press
ISBN: 9780262521376
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 428
Book Description
"The impact of technology on society is clear and unmistakeable. The influence of society on technology is more subtle. The 13 essays in this book have been written by a diverse group of scholars united by a common interest in creating a new field - the sociology of technology. They draw on a wide array of case studies - from cooking stoves to missile systems, from 15th-century Portugal to today's Al labs - to outline an original research program based on a synthesis of ideas from the social studies of science and the history of technology. Together they affirm the need for a study of technology that gives equal weight to technical, social, economic, and political questions"--Back cover.
