Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Range Rover's designers intended it to be a more comfortable and road-friendly passenger-carrying Land Rover, but customers quickly saw something much more in it. During the 1970s, while its immense practicality and capability were appreciated and acknowledged, a Range Rover became a sought-after and prestigious possession. It went on to change the face of Land Rover for ever. Range Rover First Generation - The Complete Story delves into the real story of the Range Rover, examining what lay behind the multiple changes in its twenty-six years of production. The book covers the full development story; custom and utility conversions; Range Rovers for the US market; full technical specifications and Range Rovers assembled overseas. If ever a car deserved the over-used epithet 'iconic', the first-generation Range Rover is it. The book provides an insight into the little-known difficulties and problems that were so well concealed by the Range Rover's makers and is a must read for all Range Rover and Land Rover enthusiasts. Superbly illustrated with 223 colour and 97 black & white photographs.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What role should the police have in an industrial dispute? How were they led into a partisan role in assisting the defeat of the 1984-5 miners' strike? Widespread concern over police road-blocks, allegations of police and picket violence, and the huge numbers of police used to maintain order and access to work led the National Council for Civil Liberties to set up an inquiry into the policing. The Inquiry Panel produced an interim report – but the NCCL disowned it, because of its acknowledgement of the rights of working miners as well as striking ones. The members of the Panel – who included former Chief Constable John Alderson and NCCL General Secretary Larry Gostin – then resigned, but continued work as a group of private individuals. Originally published in 1988, this book is their final report. The report describes the policing of the strike in detail from a range of published, unpublished, and eyewitness sources. The strike is set in the context of developments in law and policing before and since. The authors are able to provide a unique and authoritative perspective, analysing both the events of 1984-5 and the longer-term trends and problems, based on a clear recognition of the basic issues and conflicts of civil liberties involved. In their conclusions and recommendations the authors present an informed view of the use of the police during the strike, the breakdown of the system of police accountability, and the policies developed since the strike. Their findings point to the need for a Bill of Rights to cover civil liberties during industrial conflict, and the need for a new picketing Code of Practice. The Police, Public Order, and Civil Liberties will be essential reading for all concerned with the police, industrial relations, and the political and constitutional system. It will also be of value to all who need a clear and unbiased view of one of the key events in British post-war history.

Book excerpt: A quarter of a century ago, the Land Rover Discovery defined at a stroke how traditional 4 x 4 all-terrain ability could co-exist with family-estate practicality at an affordable price. Since 1989, the Discovery has gone through several iterations, but its essential qualities have remained unchanged. Practical, capable, and above all completely distinctive - the stepped roof seemed odd at first but now defines the Discovery shape - the Discovery has gone on to become one of Land Rover's best-loved products. Land Rover Discovery - 25 Years of the Family 4 x 4 looks in detail at the four generations of Discovery, including full specification details and production histories. Topics covered include the design and development of the original Discovery in the late 1980s, and the move into North America; the new 300Tdi engine and R380 gearbox of 1994, and the BMW takeover; Series II models of 1998-2004, and Land Rover's move from BMW to Ford; Discovery 3/'LR3' - 2004-2009, and the new TDV6 engine, developed by Jaguar; Discovery 4/'LR4' - the all-purpose family luxury car; special editions and derivatives of all four generations of Discovery, including Discoverys for the emergency services and the Camel Trophy and G4 Challenge competition vehicles. Superbly illustrated with 351 colour photographs.

Book excerpt: An ex-U.S. Major called James Cairns is escorted to a military court to face Judge Parker regarding his release from a military jail after serious acts of treason against the United States. Cairns becomes frustrated at the very mention of John Ravens name. After Judge Parker notices Cairns volatile behaviour, he gives the order for him to be transported back to the U.S. to be placed into another military compound for an additional two years, and his attitude after this period of time passes will determine whether or not James Cairns becomes a free man. Although Cairns accepts Judge Parkers decision, he knows that it will only be a matter of time before he will be able to escape and be united with the Iranian president. Whilst spending time inside a military jail, he made contacts in the Middle East, secretly instigating with President Modarres, who, with the help of the Russians is planning to annihilate the U.S. by using nuclear missiles, and then take Kuwait by storm and hold the remainder of the world for ransom. Christmas is approaching rapidly and John Raven is looking forward to celebrating this special time of year with other members of the family. When the New Year arrived, Raven had arranged to train Unit Expendable and then retire from the military force for good, which pleases his father, Richard. He later fi nds out that Captain Weller is going to miss this Christmas because of special I.T. tasks that have to be undertaken on the U.S.S. Abraham Lincoln and U.S.S. Blue Ridge, positioned somewhere in the Gulf. Knowing that John is going to retire from the military, she propositions him, suggesting they get back together to enjoy the rest of their lives. After an emergency cabinet meeting, the President of the United States tells the world that she and the Secretary of State, Sarah Johnson, will visit Iran on the 29th of December to hopefully achieve a diplomatic solution. When Christmas Day arrives, Captain Weller rings John at home from U.S.S. Abraham Lincoln to wish the family a Merry Christmas. After being told to come and join the party with the rest of her colleagues, she becomes aware of Iranian pirates circling around the U.S. warship, who eventually board and kidnap her. Christmas Day becomes a nightmare for John, and he decides to leave the rest of the family, feeling frustrated, as once again, he had to make decisions as to what would be best for all parties. John Raven decides to send Unit Expendable to Kuwait on a mission when they will fl y into Iran to hopefully save Captain Weller. He remains in the U.S. with President Berry visiting his home to ask him to accompany her and the Secretary of State on Air Force One during her trip to Iran. After receiving a blessing from his father and feeling that he has no choice, Raven accompanies the U.S. President on her trip. Cairns plans a severe terrorist attack, which makes Air Force One eventually dive from the damaged runway at Imam Khomeini International Airport towards the Metro underground train travelling below, creating total devastation. President Berry and the Secretary of State, Johnson are kidnapped by Cairns and President Modarres, leaving Raven to leap from a huge inferno when several hand grenades are thrown in the damaged fuselage of Air Force One. Raven is now a man alone on a mission. After eventually joining up with members of Unit Expendable, he succeeds in being able to free several people from the clutches of Cairns sadistic methods, sacrificing himself for their safe return. Ravens son, John Weller, had proposed to his girlfriend, Louise, who tells him that before she can give him an honest answer, she wants him to leave the military so they can live a normal life. After seeing his father on television suff ering infl iction, Weller knows that he also has a huge decision to make. He can only hope that after what his father endures from the enemy, that this time, it wont be, One Time Too Many. www.richardcrombleholme.com
