Railway Noise and Vibration: Mechanisms, Modelling, and Means of Control, 2nd Edition provides a complete overview of the state of the art in rail noise and vibration theory and modelling. This book describes each source of noise and vibration, such as rolling noise, curve squeal, bridge noise, aerodynamic noise, ground vibration and ground-borne noise, and vehicle interior noise in a systematic way, covering relevant theoretical modelling approaches and their practical implementation, with extensive examples of noise control technology applied at source. Noise and vibration are key obstacles to further development of railway networks worldwide for high-speed intercity traffic, freight and suburban metros and light-rail systems. With noise problems all too often dealt with inefficiently due to a lack of understanding of the problem, this new edition is an invaluable reference for all those working with noise and vibration from railways, whether in industry, consultancy, or academic research.

In his first volume of poetry, Days of Dark and Light: Recent poems (Hobnob Press,2021), David Thompson responded tothe Covid-19 pandemic with an eclectic collection of poems of wide-ranging forms and subjects. In Where the Love Is, hecontinues his exploration of themes close to him - memory, imagination, love, nature and the environment, and the linksbetween poetry and other arts. The poems, including several prize-winners, are wise and articulate, sometimes romantic,sometimes lightly whimsical, often poignant. His poetic narrative brings together a variety of forms and moods in anelegant, entertaining and very personal voice.After military service and modern language studies at Oxford and the Sorbonne, David Thompson lived in Spain and England before embarking on a long career in translation, interpreting, editing and publishing with the United Nations in New York and Bangkok and then with the World Health Organization in Geneva. Following a second career as a free-lance based in France, he returned to Frome (Somerset) a few years ago after spending more than half his life abroad.

A photographic reverie of lost histories and forgotten North American landscapesThis compelling, 464-page photobook presents an intuitive selection of images extracted from a collection of photographic postcards mostly produced in the early part of the last century and largely from North America. Fragmented images combine to elicit memories from forgotten histories and encourage the reader to conjure stories of past endeavor and adventures.Begun in the early months of the pandemic, the book expresses the vision of its editor, David Thomson. He writes of his approach: "Juxtapositions took shape. Intuition reigned. The play of natural light struck hard. The chiaroscuro of 'plein air' landscape remained a strand beneath. The countenances within the compositions ran a gamut of emotion. A sense of bewilderment was coupled by wonderment; the nature of people and their ways of being."

"Ok, so Janie didn't die - I'll give you that..."A spell-binding tale, inspired by the Orpheus myth and set in contemporary London, that will transport the reader to an occult world of inexplicable death, conspiracy theory and impossible music.All Stephen Anthony Floyd wants from life is to make music and spend time with his girlfriend Janie and his friends on St Ragnulf's Place. But, with the appearance of a mysterious motorcycle messenger and a number of increasingly bizarre events, Stephen finds his life turned upside down and his perception of what is real and what is not severely challenged. His world revolves itself into a number of important questions that need to be answered, such as why his next-door neighbour has (literally) exploded; who is the despatch rider who seems to be stalking him; what are the Blood of the Lamb up to; how can Valhalla Rag Records possibly exist; and, perhaps most critically, will Janie ever speak to him again?A quirky and magical blend of Haruki Murakami, Nick Hornby and Neil Gaiman, Strangelove Place is a funny, moving, surreal, and metaphysical tale about love, loss and a strange world that exists parallel to ours and of which we are not usually aware.

Thompson strives to shed new light not only on Dante's allegory-and thus upon the whole troubled question of exactly what an allegory was thought to be-but on the intricate relationship between poet and poem and between Dante's spiritual journeys and his written representation of those itineraries.
