”Jeg prøver,” anstrengte han sig, spredte vingerne med et mægtigt smæld og lod dem begge tumle mod jorden som en meteor omsluttet af fjer. Farten slog gløder i dem, og pinslen, der var malet i hans ansigt, tog til. Vingerne flakkede, og Victoria kunne se, hvordan han kæmpede med at holde dem tæt sluttet om dem. ”Vi skal bare have mere fart.”Victoria Rhea ser skygger. Hun slår det hen som fantasi, og i værste fald en svulst i færd med at æde af hendes hjerne. Da hun støder på burgerflipperen Marius, opdager hun, at der er meget andet på spil end blot en konflikt mellem engle og dæmoner. Hun bliver langsomt lokket ind i en pseudovirkelighed og forført af ikke bare nysgerrigheden, men også af sine følelsers vold – både destruktive og kærlige.Gamle fjendskaber kommer til revurdering, da Djævlen er den eneste med adgang til Guds domæne, og når Gud har indvarslet Dommedag, hvem kan man så stole på at redde verden?

The first motorcycle that you can call a Bagger showed up in the show rooms in 1980.That new frame was longer, and the motor and transmission were mounted on rubber mounts. Those first Baggers came with Shovels, followed by Evos, but no one called those Performance Baggers. The Twin Cam motors came next, and they were definitely faster, but the phrase Performance Bagger still didn't come into use until the M8 came on the scene. This book brings you a detailed look at these new M-8 Baggers, and the Twin Cams that proceeded. The book includes interviews with people like Rick Ward and Bert Baker. Builders who spent a lifetime getting more horsepower and improving the drivetrain. For advice on brakes and suspension, we have information from the staff of Beringer and Ohlins. In addition to the techs and experts, the bulk of the pages are filled with pictures and the story of true Performance Baggers owned by regular riders - on Road Glide and Street Glide. Each of those stories cover the motors, the drivetrain and the chassis. Some went all the way with a 143 cubic inch M-8 with a blower, motors well over 200 horsepower. Other owners simply installed bigger jugs, ported heads, a good dyno run and settled for something like 140 or 150 horses. The same goes with the chassis: new shocks and replaced (or upgraded) fork assemblies. For brakes maybe they install new front rotors and retain the factory calipers or replace all the components. What they did or didn't do is a lesson to readers in all the possible modifications. Written by Timothy Remus with help with experienced builders and experienced owners, H-D Performance Bagger is a high-quality guide for anyone with a late model Bagger or plans to buy that new Bagger.

170 pages and more than 450 illustrations and charts, size 8.25 x 10.75 inches. This workshop manual is a compilation of 4 original Honda publications. It includes a reproduction of the original 250cc and 360cc twin cylinder 1974 factory workshop manual for both the disc brake and drum brake models, plus 3 factory supplements that cover both the 5 and 6 speed variants, which extends the coverage of the original manual through 1977. The models covered are: CB250, CJ250T, CB360, CL360, CB360T and CJ360T.Many of the earlier Honda motorcycle models were often introduced at different times and in different countries using different model names or designations. For example, the CB 250 was predominantly sold in the European market and not officially available in the USA. However, the 360cc models were available in both Europe and the USA.Unfortunately, this often leads to difficulty in selecting the correct workshop manual and owners of this series of 250cc and 360cc twins are subjected to considerable confusion surrounding the appropriate selection from the multitude of OEM publications that have recently flooded the on-line marketplace. This confusion is compounded by the fact that Honda used both 5 and 6 speed transmissions within the 1974 to 1977 production run of the 250/360 series. Owners of the 1968-1973 twin cylinder 5-speed 250cc and 350cc models are directed to our Honda factory workshop manual, ISBN 9781588502612. Owners of the 1961-1968 twin cylinder 250cc and 305cc C72 & C77 series will require our Honda factory workshop manual, ISBN 9781588500731.Finally, please note that the text in the original Honda Factory Workshop Manual was translated from Japanese into English. Consequently, some of the phrasing, grammar, punctuation and word usage may be subtly different from that commonly used in the English language. However the information, as presented, is readily understandable. In addition, while we have done our best to identify any anomalies, errors and incorrect spelling that may have occurred during the original translation process, we are certain that we will have missed one or two and we request your indulgence in ignoring them.

A new history of British Rail Engineering Limited (BREL), one of Britain's biggest and shortest lived engineering companies.

In this thrilling work--a blend of history, science, nature writing, and environmentalism--acclaimed writer James Bradley plunges into the unknown to explore the deepest recesses of the natural world.Seventy-one percent of the earth's surface is ocean. These waters created, shaped, and continue to sustain not just human life, but all life on Planet Earth, and perhaps beyond it. They serve as the stage for our cultural history--driving human development from evolution through exploration, colonialism, and the modern era of global leisure and trade. They are also the harbingers of the future--much of life on Earth cannot survive if sea levels are too low or too high, temperatures too cold or too warm. Our oceans are vast spaces of immense wonder and beauty, and our relationship to them is innate and awe inspired.Deep Water is both a lyrically written personal meditation and an intriguing wide-ranging reported epic that reckons with our complex connection to the seas. It is a story shaped by tidal movements and deep currents, lit by the insights of philosophers, scientists, artists and other great minds. Bradley takes readers from the atomic creation of the oceans, to the wonders within, such as fish migrations guided by electromagnetic sensing. He describes the impacts of human population shifts by boat andspeaks directly and uncompromisingly to the environmental catastrophe that is already impacting our lives. It is also a celebration of the ocean's glories and the extraordinary efforts of the scientists and researchers who are unlocking its secrets. These myriad strands are woven together into a tapestry of life that captures not only our relationship with the planet, but our past, and perhaps most importantly, what lies ahead for us.A brilliant blend of Robert MacFarlane's Underland, Susan Casey's The Underworld, and Simon Winchester's Pacific and The Atlantic, Deep Water taps into the essence of our plant and who we are.

Lately, the number of vehicles and the miles they are driven have increased at a faster pace [2]. Traffic congestion has been a big problem and is likely to climb further in the near future. In 2018 alone, 1.35 million people died due to road accidents [3]. So, an Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) has been a necessity to provide timely safety and other traffic information to the vehicles. With the rapid advancement in vehicular technologies, communication technologies, smart sensors, ML and others, it is believed that smart autonomous vehicles will solve the existing transportation problems. Major contributors to the transportation problems like congestion and accidents are human errors and ambiguity. IOV capable of sensing the environment and communicating with neighbouring vehicles and infrastructures to exchange every bit of required information for safe navigation, detecting hurdles, optimising routes and others on-the-fly, offers a true potential to realise ITS for effective traffic management and road safety [4]. ION has been an active area of research to envision as a solution to achieve an intelligent transport system (ITS) for the past few decades.

"A history of one of America's earliest canals and its impact on the people of the South Carolina Lowcountry. Completed in 1800, the Santee Canal provided the first inland navigation route from the Upcountry of the South Carolina Piedmont to the port of Charleston and the Atlantic Ocean. By connecting the Cooper, Santee, Congaree, and Wateree rivers, the engineered waterway transformed the lives of many in the state and affected economic development in the Southeast region of the newly formed United States. In The Santee Canal, authors Elizabeth Connor, Richard Dwight Porcher Jr., and William Robert Judd provide an authoritative and richly illustrated history of one of America's first canals. The Santee Canal connected distant settlements, reversed the economic fortunes of planters who altered the relationships between enslaved and enslavers and represented an important engineering achievement of the early canal-building era in the United States. This remarkable economic, social, and political story is brought to life by the stories of the many individuals who had a hand in building the canal. From the landowners through whose property it cut, to the enslaved laborers who carved its path, to the enigmatic chief engineer Johann Christian Senf - the individual and local perspectives on this grand undertaking ground this history in the life and times of late 18th-century South Carolina. Connor, Porcher, and Judd tell a comprehensive story of the canal's origins and history. Never-before published historical plans and maps, photographs from personal archives and field research, and technical drawings enhance the text, allowing readers to appreciate the development, evolution, and effect of the Santee Canal on the land and the people of South Carolina"--
