The leading thinking-book on the art of flying.

The war had left a population with a desire for personal family transport. The demand for this far outstripped the existing supply capacity. Cars were out of the question; it would be fifteen years before the British infrastructure would have the capability and manufacturing techniques to serve up the cars needed at the price required. There was no shortage of motorcycles in the country and nothing else could fulfil the public need other than the humble sidecar. Then great British entrepreneurs stepped in and made it all possible. This book is about those men and the sidecars they made. Those post war sidecar entrepreneurs were heroes, they provided the holidays, the days out, the work transport, the trips to the shops, long before the Mini or the A40 ever existed. The book gives a history of 42 sidecar manufacturers along with details and over 200 pictures of models produced between 1945 and 1965.

There was a time......when the Indianapolis 500 was aired only on radio....when pit crews hammered wheels loose during a pit stop....when men raced in the Indianapolis 500 and drove the next day at a small dirt track....when race cars were transported on open trailers for all to see. Do you remember that? This is a story of that time.

This engaging book presents nine empirical chapters that explore topics such as lifestyle entrepreneurship, lifestyle mobility, luxury experiences, and tourism-related well-being. Unlike most research focusing on Western contexts, several of the studies involve Asian regions (particularly China, including Hong Kong and Taiwan) and capture the growing popularity of Asian perspectives. This edited volume, authored by researchers across China, New Zealand, the US, the UK, and Portugal, provides researchers and practitioners in tourism and hospitality, along with readers interested in the general "travel and lifestyle" domain, timely and relevant knowledge. The editors hope that these carefully chosen chapters will inspire future studies and will give its readers a fresh insight in lifestyle's role in tourism.The chapters in this book were originally published as a special issue of the Journal of Travel & Tourism Marketing.

By introducing the new concept of alternative (im)mobilities, this collection draws attention to a different approach to mobility practices. In doing so, this ground-breaking volume explores a range of issues related related to (im)mobilities and the Covid-19 pandemic, transport and social practices, and media and urban tourism. Designed and organized in a legally or illegally way, alternative (im)mobilities are examples of those daily practices of displacement of people, objects, and information, which mobilize a multidisciplinary framework of urbanization, shedding light on important and long-standing issues of inequality and the lack of recognition of diversity in economics, social and culture urban life. This volume opens up a new set of research questions related to the complex ways in which informal actors cope with their everyday life experience, regarding dwelling, commuting, working, caring of vulnerable people, health issues, access to information, among other mobility practices, besides the lack of essential - and infrastructural - public services.This volume will be of great interest to researchers and scholars in geography and the social sciences interested in mobilities, transport, communication, tourism, mobility justice and inequality, public decision making and health studies.
