Skickas
The Airbus A350 is a twin-engine, long-range, wide-body airliner, which was launched in 2006, partly in response to Boeing’s development of the 787 Dreamliner. It is available in two variants: A350-900 and A350-1000. Over 70 per cent of the airframe is constructed from carbon composites and aluminium alloys leading to a light structure which, when combined with the latest generation Rolls-Royce Trent XWB turbofans, has resulted in an aircraft with 25 per cent lower operating costs and a significant reduction in fuel burn and carbon dioxide emissions. The A350-900 first flew in June 2013 and entered service less than two years later. The stretched A350-1000 made its maiden flight in November 2016 and began commercial flights in February 2018. The A350 provides airlines with flexibility and versatility in the range/payload combinations that it offers and by September 2013, almost 1,000 aircraft had been ordered.In celebration of the aircraft’s tenth anniversary in commercial service, Nigel Richardson describes the evolution, design and development of the A350 through to its entry into service with major airlines and how it may further evolve in the future with high-quality illustrations and technical information.

Typhoid in Uppingham
Analysis of a Victorian Town and School in Crisis, 1875–1877

After the Public Heath Acts of 1872 and 1875, British local authorities bore statutory obligations to carry out sanitary improvements. Richardson explores public health strategy and central-local government relations during the mid-nineteenth-century, using the experience of Uppingham, England, as a micro-historical case study. Uppingham is a small (and unusually well-documented) market town which contains a boarding school. Despite legal changes enforcing sanitary reform, the town was hit three times by typhoid in 1875–1876. Richardson examines the conduct of those involved in town and school, the economic dependence of the former on the latter, and the opposition to higher rates to pay for sanitary improvement by a local ratepayer "shopocracy." He compares the sanitary state of the community with others nearby, and Uppingham School with comparable schools of that era. Improvement was often determined by business considerations rather than medical judgments, and local personalities and events frequently drove national policy in practice. This study illuminates wider themes in Victorian public medicine, including the difficulty of diagnosing typhoid before breakthroughs in bacteriological research, the problems local officialdom faced in implementing reform, and the length of time it took London ideas and practice to filter into rural areas.

The Boeing 787 Dreamliner is a family of long-range, mid-size, wide-body, twin-engine jet airliners that can carry 242-330 passengers in two classes. The airliner features a high degree of technological innovation in design concepts, construction materials and control systems. It is the world's first major commercial airliner to have a fuselage, wings and tail made from composite materials. The airliner makes extensive use of electrical systems in place of many pneumatic components. It has an advanced fly-by-wire control system which automatically optimises the shape of the wing resulting in improved lift and reduced fuel consumption, and new technologies are used for the flight deck instrumentation. The aircraft is powered by next-generation engines: General Electric GEnx 1B or the Rolls-Royce Trent 1000. Three variants have been built: the initial 787-8, a stretched 787 9 variant and the largest variant, the 787-10. The 787 first entered service with ANA on 26 October 2011. It is now operated worldwide by over seventy airlines including major flag carriers, low-cost long-haul operators and leisure airlines.Nigel Richardson describes the evolution, design and development of the Boeing 787 Dreamliner with high-quality illustrations and technical information.

The Boeing 737 MAX represents the fourth generation of the Boeing 737, developed in response to a decision by Airbus to improve and re-engine its A320 family. Key to the development of the 737 MAX was the more efficient CFM LEAP-1B engine, which promised improvements in fuel consumption and operating costs. The 737 MAX, which is offered in four variants, first entered service in May 2017. By the end of 2018, 4,300 aircraft had been ordered by ninety-five airlines. However, two fatal incidents involving MAX 8 aircraft occurred in 2018 and 2019, leading to a worldwide grounding of all MAX aircraft from March 2019 to November 2020, and the cancellation of many orders. The main cause of the crashes was a malfunctioning automated flight control system called MCAS (Manoeuvring Characteristics Augmentation System). Key design changes to the 737 MAX and airline training programmes were required to address the safety issues that resulted in the crashes before the MAX was recertified and cleared to return to service.Nigel Richardson offers a concise and fully illustrated account of the design, development and operation of the Boeing 737 MAX.

The Boeing 747 is one of the most iconic airliners of modern civil aviation. Its development began following a personal request to Boeing from the then president of Pan American World Airways, Juan Trippe, for a large aircraft capable of carrying more passengers over longer distances and thereby reducing travel and operating costs. Following an intensive and costly period of design and development, the first Boeing 747-100 was rolled out on 30 September 1968 and made its maiden flight on 9 February 1969. The 747 first entered into service with Pan Am in January 1970. The large, distinctive wide-body aircraft went on to serve many operators in significant numbers worldwide, opening up new leisure and business travel markets. The 747 family gradually evolved with the development of new variants (-200, 747SP, -300, -400 and -8), each improving performance, passenger capacity, flight-deck technology and fuel efficiency. A number of special, modified variants have been produced including the Space Shuttle Carrier Aircraft and the Boeing VC-25A, commonly operated as Air Force One. The increasing preference for more efficient twin-engine aircraft, followed by the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on the aviation industry, led to Boeing ending 747 production in July 2020.Nigel Richardson describes the fascinating history of the Boeing 747, dubbed ‘Queen of the Skies’ by passengers, with high-quality illustrations and technical information.

Back in the fifties, motoring was a liberating experience. Before motorways, traffic jams and road rage, the leisurely Sunday drive could be the highlight of the week. Now, armed with period driving guides, Richard Wilson has packed his picnic, flask and himself into some very stylish vintage cars to retrace six classic routes through the UK and recreate the pleasure of the golden age of motoring for BBC TV.Including the dramatic winding roads of the North Cornwall coast, the lochs and peaks of the Central Highlands and the bronze-age monoliths of the North Yorkshire moors, Richard explores some of the most striking and beautiful scenery and landmarks Britain has to offer. Along the way he meets the people who live there and remember how these places once were, and wonders why things aren''t what they used to be.

''Richardson writes beautifully about his return to the land, about listening to the soil and about understanding the ancient world.'' - The Spectator
Each new field is hope, each old one reality.
There are things below the surface that pull people together in a shared love of history, landscape and the hope that, this time, something incredible will be unearthed.
When a travel writer is stuck on home soil in the middle of a pandemic he tries his hand at metal detecting - and is instantly addicted. This all-consuming hobby takes him around the country, back through history and deep into the psyches(his own included) of those hooked on ''happy bleeps''.
The Accidental Detectorist is a big-hearted dig into a pastime sometimes mocked but always enticing.

Edward Thring on Education
Edward Thring (1821-1887), who founded the Headmasters' Conference of prominent schools in Britain in 1869, was the best-known headmaster of his generation.
Formed by a nature-loving childhood in rural Somerset, survival in the notorious Long Chamber at Eton, a fellowship at King's College Cambridge and a harrowing curacy in the slums of Gloucester, he developed the conviction that education was God's work. This in turn led him to a passionate belief in the potential of every child.
From 1853, over 34 years, Thring transformed a small grammar school in Uppingham into a widely-celebrated boarding school with an international clientele. He battled against intransigent governors, growing debts and the encroachment of government control over every type of school. After facing potential disaster from a series of typhoid outbreaks, he relocated his staff and pupils to Borth in Wales, returning only after securing radical improvements in Uppingham's drainage and water supply. Although dismissively labelled "the enthusiast Mr Thring" by the Cambridge philosopher Henry Sidgwick and King of Boys by other critics, his social conscience led to the founding of a mission in London's East End, the first venture of its type.
Through two books, Education and School (1864) and The Theory and Practice of Teaching (1883), Thring provided a blueprint for high-quality boarding schools, a broad curriculum and child-centred teaching methods. This is the first modern biography of this multi-faceted and emotionally complex man.
