Download or read book Transport Round the Isle of Man written by Steven Dearden and published by Stenlake Publishing. This book was released on 2001 with total page 112 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Larger format than our Wheels Around series of books and also including the history of shipping and aviation around the island this book makes excellent use of one of the best collections of Isle of Man postcards and photographs extant. The photographs included can only be described as sumptuous. There are 18 or so pages on the island s railways; the Steam Railway, the Manx Railway & the Snaefell Mountain Railway. About twelve pages are devoted to tramways, with civil and military aviation, featured on the next 20 pages (incidentally, my dad flew my mum to the IOM during the war - they met at RAF Heathhall in Dumfries - so that's one copy of the book spoken for already). This is followed by 30 pages of shipping photographs and information including lifeboats, wrecks, coastal steamers and pleasure boats. On the road we have fourteen pages of buses and 20 pages of cars & carriage from early motor charabancs to motor racing. Last but definitely not least is motorcycle racing - as befits an island so steeped in same. If you are interested in the Isle of Man in general or just some unique transport history you will definitely want this book.

Book excerpt: This volume provides a fascinating account of the natural forces which shaped the Island's landscape from its formation some 500 million years ago to the present nature of the Manx environment and landscape. The story of the island's colonisation by plants and animals sets the scene for the later volumes which deal with the impact of man's arrival.

Book Synopsis The Second World War and the 'Other British Isles' by : Daniel Travers
Download or read book The Second World War and the 'Other British Isles' written by Daniel Travers and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2018-06-28 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What is often held to be Britain's 'finest hour' – the Second World War – was not experienced so uniformly across the British Isles. On the margins, the war was endured in profoundly different ways. While D-Day or Dunkirk is embedded in British collective memory, how many Britons can recall that Finns were interned on the Isle of Man, that enemy soldiers developed British infrastructure in Orkney, or that British subjects were sent to concentration camps from Guernsey? Such experiences, tangential to the dominant British war narrative, are commemorated elsewhere in the 'other British Isles'. In this remarkable contribution to British Island Studies, Daniel Travers pursues these histories and their commemoration across numerous local sites of memory: museums, heritage sites and public spaces. He examines the way these island identities assert their own distinctiveness over the British wartime story, and ultimately the way they fit into the ongoing discourse about how the memory of the Second World War has been constructed since 1945.

Book Synopsis The Isle of Man by : Vaughan Robinson
Download or read book The Isle of Man written by Vaughan Robinson and published by Liverpool University Press. This book was released on 1990-01-01 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book, drawing on wide experience of the Isle of Man, describes, interprets and explains the features that make the Island’s physical and human landscapes so distinctive and give it a unique sense of place. Although the editors have taken a strongly geographical approach to their theme, the book is unparalleled in writings on the Isle of Man in the broad range of contributions it has assembled: geology, quaternary science, geomorphology, archaeology, history, natural history, political science, demography, social policy and economics. The book definitively reviews current geographical knowledge relating to the Isle of Man, bringing together hitherto fragmented, scattered and inaccessible work. Particular emphasis is placed upon the way in which geographers are returning to their intellectual roots with a renewed focus on both the distinctiveness and sense of place. By helping readers to understand the processes that formed, and continue to change, the Isle of Man’s unique physical and human landscapes, this book aims both to inform and to enhance enjoyment of the Island.
