Harmony Express
Thomas Bird found himself in southern China free from any serious commitments. His rock band had just split up, he'd left his job as the editor of a lifestyle magazine and his girlfriend disappeared from his life. Seeking the tonic of travel, Bird hit the railroad with a plan... to explore The People's Republic of China by train. The country was in the midst of a railway building boom the likes of which the world has never seen, and Bird was poised to make China Railways his muse. One year morphed into several as Bird whizzed from high-tech Shenzhen to colonial Xiamen at high-speed; "flew" into Shanghai aboard a Maglev; chugged through rural Sichuan Province aboard an old steam locomotive and traversed the "third pole" en route to Lhasa. Putting the people he meets front and center, Bird delivers a portrait of an era, as he grapples to comprehend an inscrutable land undergoing breakneck change.

Landy's Dodges
This is a print on demand (POD) book with color photos. The paper and photo quality in this book, although good, often does not match the original version but the information remains the same. The cars and career of legendary drag racing driver "Dandy" Dick Landy take the spotlight in this book, which includes images from the Landy family's archive, personal stories and track results.Chrysler racing historian and author Geoff Stunkard presents this highly detailed account of the cars of Dick's career from piloting his first mount (a 1954 Ford pickup) through his historic years of campaigning Dodges. In addition to coverage of Dick's 1964 S/S Dodge and 1968 Hemi Dart, scarce information about his Ford Galaxies and Plymouth Savoy is included.

The Lost Subways of North America
A visual exploration of the transit histories of twenty-three US and Canadian cities. Every driver in North America shares one miserable, soul-sucking universal experience--being stuck in traffic. But things weren't always like this. Why is it that the mass transit systems of most cities in the United States and Canada are now utterly inadequate? The Lost Subways of North America offers a new way to consider this eternal question, with a strikingly visual--and fun--journey through past, present, and unbuilt urban transit. Using meticulous archival research, cartographer and artist Jake Berman has successfully plotted maps of old train networks covering twenty-three North American metropolises, ranging from New York City's Civil War-era plan for a steam-powered subway under Fifth Avenue to the ultramodern automated Vancouver SkyTrain and the thousand-mile electric railway system of pre-World War II Los Angeles. He takes us through colorful maps of old, often forgotten streetcar lines, lost ideas for never-built transit, and modern rail systems--drawing us into the captivating transit histories of US and Canadian cities. Berman combines vintage styling with modern printing technology to create a sweeping visual history of North American public transit and urban development. With more than one hundred original maps, accompanied by essays on each city's urban development, this book presents a fascinating look at North American rapid transit systems.
