The building of the Garstang & Knot End Railway (there was one T for most of the 19th century) was sanctioned by Act of Parliament on the 16th June, 1864. The final length to Knott End did not open until 29 July, 1908. Forty four years to build a railway just over 11 miles in length. This book is the story of the "progress" of the line and the problems that were encountered. There are some excerpts from contemporary histories of the area and then a chronological account of the building of the railway. The route taken is shown with photographs of the remains of the track bed and railway buildings. There are some plans and technical details but the book is not strictly for rail enthusiasts. There is a section on incidents and accidents.

The twentieth century, perhaps more than any other, was shaped by war and conflict. In particular, the two world wars have had a profound influence on the development of world history, especially in western Europe. The aim of Memory and Memorials, however, is not to seek the effects war has had on the twentieth century, but rather to explore how societies chose to remember wars and manipulate this memory for political and cultural purposes. Tackling issues of actual memory, distorted memory and reconstructions of the past, the use and nature of the war memorial, and the reflection of all these points in selected art, literature and film, the main theme of Memory and Memorials is to stress both continuity and change in memory and memorial.

As the 100th anniversary of World War I approaches, historian Margaret MacMillan compares current global tensions—rising nationalism, globalization’s economic pressures, sectarian strife, and the United States’ fading role as the world’s pre-eminent superpower—to the period preceding the Great War. In illuminating the years before 1914, MacMillan shows the many parallels between then and now, telling an urgent story for our time. THE BROOKINGS ESSAY: In the spirit of its commitment to high-quality, independent research, the Brookings Institution has commissioned works on major topics of public policy by distinguished authors, including Brookings scholars. The Brookings Essay is a multi-platform product aimed to engage readers in open dialogue and debate. The views expressed, however, are solely those of the author. Available in ebook only.
