David Taylor

Winner of the Saltire Society Scottish History Book of the Year AwardBadenoch today is a landscape of empty glens and ruined settlements, but it was not always so. This book examines the transformative events that shaped the regions destiny: climate and market forces, hunger and relief measures, sheep farms and sporting estates, agricultural improvement and proprietorial greed, and the evolution of clanship. Although this is an intensely localised study, the dramatic nature of change is explored against the wider context of events not just across the Highlands, but also within the British state and its global empire.Badenochs journey moves from the relative prosperity of the Napoleonic Wars into the terrible post-war destitution that devastated peasant, tacksman and Duke of Gordon alike. Estate reform and improvement gradually brought a degree of economic and social stability, but inevitably resulted in depopulation as people were forced off the land to seek refuge in the impoverished planned villages or to abandon their Gaelic homeland for life in the Lowlands. For those with the means, however, emigration provided lucrative opportunities unimaginable at home.Through extensive use of documentary evidence, much of it previously unseen, David Taylor paints an intimate portrait of the historically neglected region of Badenoch one that provides a compelling new perspective on Highland history.

The Le Mans 24 Hours is no ordinary race - it is the one race that every racing driver wants to win. Back in 1923, the Grand Prix of Endurance was created to prove that the motorcar could be sporty and reliable - 100 years later teams and drivers are still battling it out for supremacy at Circuit de la Sarthe. Racers like Tom Kristensen, Jacky Ickx, Derek Bell, and Allan McNish have all become legends competing in the worlds toughest race. Manufacturers see the race as a prestigious way to promote their brand which has led tosome fierce on track battles between automotivegiants such as Ferrari, Porsche, Jaguar, Ford, Bentley, Audi, and Toyota. This book celebrates the history of the race, the innovations, the cars, the drivers, and the rivalries.

Australias Highway One is a part of the life experience for most Australians. Its our great coastal highway, tracing out our coastline. Very many of us live on or near it and travel on some part of it every day. Pacific Highway, Princes Highway, Bruce Highway, A1, M1; it goes by these and many other names. It reaches into and through and links every State. At over 14,500 kilometres in length its the worlds longest national highway and to drive it is truly one of the worlds great road trip adventures.Highway One grew out of a highly variable collection of local, regional and State roads. Over time, the growing need for a rational system for the construction and maintenance of efficient and safe arterial highways across State borders led to increasing Federal Government involvement. Highway One was born in 1955 out of this already-existing network of State roads and became National Route 1 in the then-new National Route system.Like pearls on a necklace, the length of Highway One is studded with pretty and uniquely Australian small towns, but huge sections of the old road have been bypassed and nearly forgotten over the decades. Nearly forgotten... but not quite. Old Highway One still lives on and we can revisit the old places of yesteryear.With their unique "red route" navigation system, these books have been tailored to the needs of "grey nomads", backpackers, caravanning and camping enthusiasts, motoring clubs, tourists, holidaymakers and any other travellers looking to do more than simply get from A to B around Australia.Packed with custom maps, enticing sketches, key travel tips, charming anecdotes from the road and rich detailed information, theyre the must have guide books for all the visitor, traveller and tourist highlights this world class road trip exploration has to offer. From holiday planning to driving this classic road, theres nothing else like "The Highway One Travel Companion" available.- Find and explore "the road less travelled"- Travel back in time- Rediscover our motoring history- Return to Australias "Mother Road"- Drive Australias "main street"- Walk abandoned and forgotten stretches of Old Highway One- Rediscover Australias famous heartland towns- Find Icons but beware Giants!- Make the most of your road trip ...Dont leave home without the Highway One Travel Companion!
