Book Description
A cross section of the custom rigs produced by the "Greatest Name in Fire Apparatus" during this time period - with great model names like: The Eagle, Astro-Tower, Invader, Commander, Marauder, Patriot, Apollo, Meanstick, Force, Flame, Specialist, and more. While the majority of published material has focused on the Seagrave classics, little information has been available for the modern era. This volume will continue where the conventional 70th Anniversary Series left off and lead into the sophisticated machines specified by today's fire service.

Long Beach Fire Department
Author: Glen Goodrich
Publisher: Arcadia Publishing
ISBN: 1439614407
Category : Photography
Languages : en
Pages : 130
Book Description
The Long Beach Fire Departments adaptability has been tested by a wide variety of disasters that have marked it as a unique firefighting force on the West Coast. Thousands of residents and others have owed their very lives to the department since its 1897 formation. The LBFD moved into action during the devastating 1933 Long Beach earthquake, in which its own Fire House No. 1 was reduced to rubble. Its firefighters have quelled oilfield blazes through the 20th century, and its fireboats have poured water onto flames engulfing the docks and warehouses of the bustling port. Other duties have included such side excursions as working standby during Howard Hughess 1947 flight of the Spruce Goose and taking care of Sam the cat, a Station 6 mainstay who slid down the fire pole to the delight of television audiences.

Shadow and Act
Author: Ralph Ellison
Publisher: Vintage
ISBN: 0307797376
Category : Literary Collections
Languages : en
Pages : 354
Book Description
With the same intellectual incisiveness and supple, stylish prose he brought to his classic novel Invisible Man, Ralph Ellison examines his antecedents and in so doing illuminates the literature, music, and culture of both black and white America. His range is virtuosic, encompassing Mark Twain and Richard Wright, Mahalia Jackson and Charlie Parker, The Birth of a Nation and the Dante-esque landscape of Harlem−"the scene and symbol of the Negro's perpetual alienation in the land of his birth." Throughout, he gives us what amounts to an episodic autobiography that traces his formation as a writer as well as the genesis of Invisible Man. On every page, Ellison reveals his idiosyncratic and often contrarian brilliance, his insistence on refuting both black and white stereotypes of what an African American writer should say or be. The result is a book that continues to instruct, delight, and occasionally outrage readers thirty years after it was first published.

Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 337
Book Description
Made to Break is a history of twentieth-century technology as seen through the prism of obsolescence. Giles Slade explains how disposability was a necessary condition for America's rejection of tradition and our acceptance of change and impermanence. This book gives us a detailed and harrowing picture of how, by choosing to support ever-shorter product lives, we may well be shortening the future of our way of life as well.
