The year is 1912. The world is reeling from the worldwide Great Depression, which has left every nation on earth reeling financially. During this time, two camps of nations have risen to prominence. The nations of America, France, England, and Russia, despite the economic collapses, have managed to start to pull themselves out of the Great Depression. On the other side is the UMN, the United Monster Nations, comprised of Transylvania (home of the vampires), Luciansburg (home of the werewolves, or Lycans), Covenia (home of the Witches or Wiccans), and Decemus (home of the zombies, or the walking dead). Both groups of nations are weary of one another. The UMN is ruled over with an iron hand by Grand Chancellor Alucard, who has brought to an end the centuries-long war between the monster races and has had the monster clans united in their hatred of mankind. At the outset of our story, the UMN has been on a military buildup for more than ten years now and is planning a massed military assault against the human nations listed above for control of the Earth. Though they preach for peace with America, this is just a clever ruse by Lord Alucard to buy his nations more time to prepare for war. One can only imagine the horrors of a conventional war. Gone are the days of lining up soldiers and having them simply walk into oncoming fire. This is a new century with new ways of warfare. A conventional war could mean the deaths of countless millions of lives, both monster and human. 

Why should you read another book about transport and land use? This book differs in that we won't focus on empirical arguments - we present political arguments. We argue the political aspects of transport policy shouldn't be assumed away or treated as a nuisance. Political choices are the core reasons our cities look and function the way they do. There is no original sin that we can undo that will lead to utopian visions of urban life.The book begins by introducing and expanding on the idea of Accessibility. Then we proceed through several major parts: Infrastructure Preservation, Network Expansion, Cities, and Institutions. Infrastructure preservation concerns the relatively short-run issues of how to maintain and operate the existing surface transport system (roads and transit). Network expansion in contrast is a long-run problem, how to enlarge the network, or rather, why enlarging the network is now so difficult. Cities examines how we organize, regulate, and expand our cities to address the failures of transport policy, and falls into the time-frame of the very long-run, as property rights and land uses are often stickier than the concrete of the network is durable. In the part on Institutions we consider things that might at first blush appear to be short-run and malleable, are in fact very long-run. Institutions seem to outlast the infrastructure they manage.Many of the transport and land use problems we want to solve already have technical solutions. What these problems don't have, and what we hope to contribute, are political solutions. We expect the audience for this book to be practitioners, planners, engineers, advocates, urbanists, students of transport, and fellow academics.

Michael Cavanagh spent half his childhood fatherless and all of it with a mother who was a whore. No wonder insecurity is one of his problems, Or that fear of sex is another. At 35 he has one failed marriage and a teenage daughter he hasn't seen since she was 4 years old.He has a cabinetmaking business in Suffolk village, and when Meredith Lomond's bicycle punctures outside his workshop, it seems an unlikely catalyst for a metamorphosis in Michael's life. Yet soon afterwards, Michael finds himself rushing across Brittany to rescue Meredith's daughter, Daisy, from abusive husband, Jean-Paul. He smuggles Daisy and her 4 year-old son to England aboard a small yacht.Storms and tidal races provide a lively, even life-threatening, passage but when they reach England, the maritime elements seem mild in comparison to what awaits them on land. There is a secret between Daisy and her mother from which Michael is excluded. He finds that Jean-Paul has something at stake, too, that makes him infinitely more dangerous than a mere cuckolded husband.Learning to father Daisy's son makes Michael brood about his own estranged child, and after an unexpected encounter he is forced to confront his own childhood too. Michael must unravel his past and discover his inner strength to save the people he cares about. The consequences test his mental, moral and physical forces to their limits.

On the evening of November 8, 1923, the thirty-four-year-old Adolf Hitler stormed into a beer hall in Munich, fired his pistol in the air, and proclaimed a revolution. Seventeen hours later, all that remained of his bold move was a trail of destruction. Hitler was on the run from the police. His career seemed to be over.The Trial of Adolf Hitler tells the true story of the monumental criminal proceeding that followed when Hitler and nine other suspects were charged with high treason. Reporters from as far away as Argentina and Australia flocked to Munich for the sensational four-week spectacle. By its end, Hitler would transform the fiasco of the beer hall putsch into a stunning victory for the fledgling Nazi Party. It was this trial that thrust Hitler into the limelight, provided him with an unprecedented stage for his demagoguery, and set him on his improbable path to power.Based on trial transcripts, police files, and many other new sources, including some five hundred documents recently discovered from the Landsberg Prison record office, The Trial of Adolf Hitler is a gripping true story of crime and punishment-and a haunting failure of justice with catastrophic consequences.
