Nick Haynes: Scotland's Canals
Description
In 1768, construction began on the Forth and Clyde Canal - the start of a series of incredible engineering endeavours which would change the landscape of Scotland forever. The nation's transport and industry had always relied on the sea rather than the rivers. In the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, the creation of large scale canals provided new links between the land and the coastal centres. Huge volumes of commercial traffic plied these routes, carrying supplies of coal, iron-ore, stone and agricultural produce. Canals had a major impact on the places they passed through - both Grangemouth and Maryhill in Glasgow were once branded as new 'canal-towns'. Produced in partnership with Scottish Canals, Nick Haynes' new book explores the histories of the nation's five major canals - the Forth and Clyde, Union, Caledonian, Crinan and Monkland - and the buildings that grew up alongside them. From the awe-inspiring engineering feat that drove a route through the lochs and mountains of the Great Glen, linking sea to sea, to the 'most beautiful shortcut in the world', Scotland's Canals explores the fascinating architecture of our iconic waterways, telling a story of innovation, industry, community, decline, disrepair and regeneration.
There are various authors of the books contained in the treasury, including Jane Werner Watson, who edited and wrote hundreds of Golden Books. She called Eloise Wilkin "the soul of Little Golden Books." When we first meet him, Michael Oher is one of thirteen children by a mother addicted to crack; he does not know his real name, his father, his birthday, or how to read and write. He takes up football, and school, after a rich, white, Evangelical family plucks him from the streets. Then two great forces alter Oher: the family's love and the evolution of professional football into a game where the quarterback must be protected at any cost. Our protagonist becomes the priceless package of size, speed, and agility necessary to guard the quarterback's greatest vulnerability, his blind side. As Kenneth W. Ford shows us in The Quantum World, the laws governing the very small and the very swift defy common sense and stretch our minds to the limit. Drawing on a deep familiarity with the discoveries of the 20th Century. Ford gives an appealing account of quantum physics that Scotland's Canals free ebook will help the serious reader make sense of a science that, for all its successes, remains mysterious. In response to the enthusiastic reception from physics teachers, Ford has also included a new section of Quantum Questions at the back of the book. The author will also publish a separate answer manual to these 300 questions that will be available to educators.
