  • Human Transit, Revised Edition: How Clearer Thinking about Public Transit Can Enrich Our Communities and Our Lives

    BasicBinding: Paperback

    Author: Walker, Jarrett

    Publisher: Island Press

    Date Published: 02-2024

    ISBN: 1642833053 | EAN: 9781642833058

    BasicBinding: Paperback

    Features: Illustrated, Maps, Bibliography, Index, Price on Product | Pages: 288

    Annotation: The first edition of Human Transit, published in 2011, has become a classic for professionals, advocates, and interested citizens.

    Walker has updated and expanded the book to deepen its explanations. New topics include the problem with specialization; the role of flexible or "demand response" services; how to know when to redesign your network; and responding to tech-industry claims that transit will soon be obsolete. Finally, he has also added a major new section exploring the idea of access to opportunity as a core measure of transit's success.

    No other book explains the basic principles of public transit in such lively and accessible prose, all based on a respect for your right to form your own opinion. Walker's goal is not to make you share his values, but to give you the tools to clarify and advocate for yours.

  • Collision Course: The Classic Story of the Collision of the Andrea Doria and the Stockholm

    BasicBinding: Paperback

    Author: Moscow, Alvin

    Publisher: Open Road Integrated Media LLC

    Date Published: 01-2018

    ISBN: 1504049349 | EAN: 9781504049344

    BasicBinding: Paperback

    Features: Price on Product, Bibliography, Index | Pages: 364

    Annotation: One of the largest, fastest, and most beautiful ships in the world, the Andrea Doria was on her way to New York from her home port in Genoa. Departing from the United States was the much smaller Stockholm. On the foggy night of July 25, 1956, fifty-three miles southeast of Nantucket in the North Atlantic, the Stockholm sliced through the Doria's steel hull. Within minutes, water was pouring into the Italian liner. Eleven hours later, she capsized and sank into the ocean. In this "electrifying book," Associated Press journalist Alvin Moscow, who covered the court hearings that sought to explain the causes of the tragedy and interviewed all the principals, re-creates with compelling accuracy the actions of the ships' officers and crews, and the terrifying experiences of the Doria's passengers as they struggled to evacuate a craft listing so severely that only half of its lifeboats could be launched
