The Legend of Con-way: A History of Service, Reliability, Innovation and Growth
Vendor: Abebooks.com Price: 20.44 $Con-way Inc., a $4.7 billion motor freight transportation and logistics company, traces its heritage from 1929, when industry pioneer Leland James founded an intercity trucking company in Portland, Oregon. Initially named Consolidated Truck Lines, this company grew from a one-truck operation into one of the largest long-haul carriers in the United States by the early 1980s, and became one of the few freight transportation firms to originate in the West and successfully expand eastward. In 1983, three regional, less-than-truckload (LTL) freight companies Con-Way Central Express, Con-Way Western Express, and eventually Con-Way Eastern Express emerged to challenge the industry with a surprising nonunion presence. These beginnings laid the foundation for one of the most successful short-haul market trucking enterprises. Con-way s exponential growth included long-haul trucking, short-haul trucking, airfreight forwarding, ocean shipping, and logistics solutions. Not surprisingly, operations of the diversified company remain dedicated to customer satisfaction, a strong sign of the company s longevity and innovative spirit. In 2006, Con-way again displayed its keen ability to meet ever-evolving market needs in a tremendous rebranding effort to unite its 500 locations in 17 countries and more than 27,000 employees under one contemporary, unified presence. The Legend of Con-way: A History of Service, Reliability, Innovation, and Growth provides a compelling account of how Con-way adapted and thrived despite government regulations, fuel shortages, and union pickets, and continues today as a leader in the highly competitive transportation industry.

An Imaginative Experience (Charnwood Library)
Vendor: Abebooks.com Price: 42.69 $'She writes like an avenging angel...The lovely Miss Wesley has a steel-tipped talent. Long may she hone it.' SUNDAY TELEGRAPH. "She is a story-teller who knows her craft." The Spectator A traveller on an InterCity train smells the burn of the brakes as it hisses to a stop in the middle of the countryside. He sees a white-faced woman leap from the train and race to the aid of a sheep stranded on its back, unable to rise. Righting it, she turns, and he sees her face is full of tragedy. Considering tragedies of his own, he does not intrude, but the image lodges in his mind: a strange but familiar despair, unable, despite itself, to ignore the desperation it recognizes in others.

On Glasgow and Edinburgh
Vendor: Abebooks.com Price: 31.58 $Edinburgh and Glasgow enjoy a famously scratchy relationship. Resembling other intercity rivalries throughout the world, from Madrid and Barcelona, to Moscow and St. Petersburg, to Beijing and Shanghai, Scotland’s sparring metropolises just happen to be much smaller and closer together—like twin stars orbiting a common axis. Yet their size belies their world-historical importance as cultural and commercial capitals of the British Empire, and the mere forty miles between their city centers does not diminish their stubbornly individual nature.Robert Crawford dares to bring both cities to life between the covers of one book. His story of the fluctuating fortunes of each city is animated by the one-upping that has been entrenched since the eighteenth century, when Edinburgh lost parliamentary sovereignty and took on its proud wistfulness, while Glasgow came into its industrial promise and defiance. Using landmarks and individuals as gateways to their character and past, this tale of two cities mixes novelty and familiarity just as Scotland’s capital and its largest city do. Crawford gives us Adam Smith and Walter Scott, the Scottish Enlightenment and the School of Art, but also tiny apartments, a poetry library, Spanish Civil War volunteers, and the nineteenth-century entrepreneur Maria Theresa Short. We see Glasgow’s best-known street through the eyes of a Victorian child, and Edinburgh University as it appeared to Charles Darwin.Crawford's lively account, drawing on a wealth of historical and literary sources, affirms what people from Glasgow and Edinburgh have long doubted—that it is possible to love both cities at the same time.

New Departures: Rethinking Rail Passenger Policy in the Twenty-First Century
Vendor: Abebooks.com Price: 31.98 $North America faces a transportation crisis. Gas-guzzling SUVs clog the highways and air travelers face delays, cancellations, and uncertainty in the wake of unprecedented terrorist attacks. New Departures closely examines the options for improving intercity passenger trains' capacity to move North Americans where they want to go. While Amtrak and VIA Rail Canada face intense pressure to transform themselves into successful commercial enterprises, Anthony Perl demonstrates how public policy changes lie behind the triumphs of European and Japanese high-speed rail passenger innovations. Perl goes beyond merely describing these achievements, translating their implications into a North American institutional and political context and diagnosing the obstacles that have made renewing passenger trains so much more difficult in North America than elsewhere. New Departures links the lessons behind rail passenger revitalization abroad with the opportunity to recast the policies that constrain Amtrak and VIA Rail from providing efficient and effective intercity transportation.
