Book Description

A must for all ERF fans, this is the third and final installment in The Lorries of Arabia series. While the first book paid tribute to ERF’s world-class long-haulers in the Middle East and those who drove them and the second book went on to explore the fortunes of this legendary machine, this final volume is a continued narration of an unfolding history in the 1970s and 1980s of a premium tractive unit model. With new findings, new details, new insights, and new pictures, readers of the first two books will surely enjoy the final volume of this acclaimed series. Containing a full register of all the 91 NGCs known to have ever been built, this is the enthusiast’s guide to the rugged, reliable, left-hand drive tractive unit forever associated with long-haul European and Middle Eastern routes of the 70s and 80s.

Book Description

This book is a tribute to ERF's world-class long-hauler, especially the Middle East examples, and to those who drove them. What did the ERF NGCs look like? How well did they perform? Where did they venture? What were they like to drive and to live in? And where did they stand in ERF's contribution to Britain's place in the history of the TIR-trail? Left-hand drive ERFs were, perhaps, one of the more beguiling elements in the exotic pageantry of 1970s Middle-East trucking - and this particular model earned a reputation for excellent performance in the mountains, a theme that runs throughout this book. The vision of these magnificent machines hauling articulated road-trains over the Saudi mountains in Trans-Arabia livery is a treat.

Book Description

This book is a companion to the hugely popular Lorries of Arabia: ERF NGC, published in 2015. The first book made tribute to ERF's world-class long-hauler, focussing in particular on the Middle-East examples, and to those who drove them. It was acclaimed for its "evocative photographs" and Robert's "passionate" and descriptive style of writing and Truck and Driver called it "essential reading for the many enthusiasts of this golden chapter in haulage history".Lorries of Arabia 2 continues to explore the fortunes of this legendary machine. Including 100 fully captioned pictures, many of which have only been brought to light since the publication of Lorries, this volume clearly demonstrates the romance of the road. This book will enhance and enrich the body of knowledge pertaining to the culture of the Middle-East run in the 1970s/80s and will further delight fans of the first book, whetting their appetite for more

Book Description

What if the house you are about to enter was built with the confessed purpose of seducing you, of creating various sensations destined to touch your soul and make you reflect on who you are? Could architecture have such power? This was the assumption of generations of architects at the beginning of modernity. Exploring the role of theatre and fiction in defining character in architecture, Louise Pelletier examines how architecture developed to express political and social intent. Applying this to the modern day, Pelletier considers how architects can learn from these eighteenth century attitudes in order to restore architecture's communicative dimension. Through an in-depth and interdisciplinary analysis of the beginning of modernity, Louise Pelletier encourages today's architects to consider the political and linguistic implications of their tools. Combining theory, historical studies and research, Architecture in Words will provoke thought and enrich the work of any architect.

Book Description

True accounts of one man’s long-distance trucking career that began in the late 1960s, these adventurous anecdotes are told by one of the first pioneers in long-distance trucking to the Middle East, Ivor Whittall. From traveling overseas to Kuwait, driving the desert trek between Jordan and Saudi Arabia, and surviving the infamously dangerous (and sometimes deadly) Tahir Pass in Eastern Turkey that has claimed the lives of truckers with its haphazard landslides and avalanches and tricky mountainous terrain, readers get a driver’s seat perspective to Whittall’s daring career. With 72 contemporary color photos of trucks, drivers, passports, visas, and custom forms, readers will be thrust into what it was like being a long-distance trucker in the 1970s. Full of disastrous near misses, border control mishaps, intense home sickness, mechanical failures, cultural misunderstandings, and so much more, this book will urge you to buckle up.
