From about 1910 to the mid-1920s, the cyclecar was a popular means of transport. Cheap, simply engineered, often crude, it was really just a motorcycle engine with a lightweight chassis and body. It created, however, a new market of people who could afford a motor car; being a car owner was no longer the preserve of the well-to-do. The simplicity of the cars meant that they could easily be built in small quantities, which led to a growth in the number of motor manufacturers. Some of these manufacturers even survive to this day, including probably the most famous British marque – Morgan. Despite the cyclecar being an international phenomenon, with makers in France, the UK, the US and Germany, most had disappeared by the '30s, killed off by the introduction of real cars at low prices. It was France that would keep the cyclecar interest alive over the following decades, producing small cars like the Mochet throughout the Second World War. Minimal Motoring is a selective history of both the cyclecar and microcar, featuring marques such as Reliant, Citroën and even Messerschmitt, all accompanied by period photographs, advertisements and artwork.

<p>Dans un manoir un tantinet délabré, vit un groupe de jeunes gens qui auraient peut-être eu envie de jouer à "Jules et Jim" (mais qui sont trop nombreux et même pas multiples de trois). Ils ont en commun quelques goûts – bouquins, musiques, théories, jeans évasés ou pas du bas –, et de nombreux dégoûts (en gros, tout ce qui se fait alors en matière de mœurs). Ils sont assez doués pour l’organisation des désordres et des jeux. Ils souhaitent explorer et pratiquer des modes neufs, amusants, mais excessivement civilisés, de rapports sociaux. Cultiver l’étonnement empathique. Leur blason : « tant que nous ne serons pas immortels, nous serons insatiables ». Leur objectif affiché est de changer la tronche du monde occidental. Leur objectif occulte, c’est une vie entière passée rien qu’à rigoler... Ce sont des années jubilatoires : le travail peut s’éviter, la recherche d’expédients est une activité ludique, on vient juste d’apprendre à boire trop. On a commencé à beaucoup fumer parce que la cigarette accompagne admirablement les variations émotionnelles. Le cumul des excès n’a encore que des effets esthétiques, le sexe n’est pas un danger sanitaire, on met un point d’honneur à le pratiquer à tort et à travers, les vieux ont trente-cinq ans. Dans la troupe, il y a deux filles et un nombre indéterminé, en tous cas fluctuant, de garçons. Les deux filles (ne s’appellent pas mais) auraient mérité de s’appeler Mildred Fournaise et Eva Minsk.</p> <p><span><span>À PROPOS DE L'AUTRIC</span></span>E</p> <p>N’a aucun antécédent préjudiciable. Avant cet opus, a écrit de nombreux petits textes plus ou moins rigolos, en général gentiment accueillis par un lectorat composé de vieux potes, de complices avérés et de voisins de palier. Parallèlement, a travaillé près de trente ans à l’organisation des grandes fêtes maritimes de Bretagne (Fêtes de Douarnenez, de Brest, Semaine du Golfe du Morbihan), avec des compétences techniques que d’aucuns jugèrent plus festives que nautiques.</p> <p><br></p>

We order packages from across the world with a single click, completely blind to the thick, toxic sludge that actually powers global globalization. 90% of international trade is carried on massive container ships, and the vast majority of those colossal engines burn Heavy Fuel Oil (HFO), commonly known as bunker fuel. Bunker fuel is the absolute bottom of the petroleum barrel. It is the tar-like, high-sulfur waste product left over after refineries extract gasoline and jet fuel. It is so thick it must be physically heated on the ship just to flow through the pipes. This book exposes the highly obscure, multi-billion-dollar economy of maritime fuel logistics. We analyze the ruthless cost-cutting of the shipping industry that relies on this cheap, hyper-polluting byproduct. The narrative also examines the intense geopolitical friction surrounding recent international regulations forcing the industry to finally cap sulfur emissions, sparking a chaotic scramble in global refineries. Look into the dark engine room of global trade. Understand the massive, dirty energy economy that silently moves every product on Earth across the ocean.

The prevailing historical view of the Catholic Irish in the first half of nineteenth-century Scotland is that they were despised by native workers because of their religion and because most were employed as strike-breakers or low-wage labour. As a result of this hostility, the Catholic immigrants were viewed as a separate isolated community, concerned mainly with Irish and Catholic issues and unable or unwilling to participate in trade unions, strikes and radical reform movements. The Protestant Irish immigrants, on the other hand, were believed to have integrated with little difficulty, mainly because of religious, families and cultural ties with the Scots. This study presents a radically different view. It demonstrates that, whereas some Irish workers were used as a blackleg or cheap labour, others participated in trade unions and strikes alongside native workers, most notably in spinning, weaving and mining industries. The various agitations for political change in the region are analysed, revealing that the Irish – Catholic and Protestant – were significantly involved in all of them. It is also shown that Scottish reformers welcomed, and indeed actively sought, Catholic Irish participation. The campaigns for Catholic emancipation and the repeal of the Act of Union of 1800 are reviewed, as are the attitudes of the Scottish Catholic clergy to the political activities of their overwhelmingly Irish congregations.

In this essential collection of modernist short stories, Virginia Woolf leads readers through the fluid contours of consciousness, where time is elastic, perception is fragmented, and reality unfolds in subtle layers of thought. Moving between the lyrical and the philosophical, everyday moments are reimagined with poetic intensity—haunted houses echo with memory, gardens whisper secrets, colors evoke emotion, and a simple mark on the wall becomes a portal into the infinite mind. With her signature stream-of-consciousness style, Woolf explores themes such as identity, memory, art, gender, and the fleeting nature of experience. Whether in the satirical critique of a patriarchal society, the silent reverie of a concert hall, or the inward spiral of a fleeting thought, her stories transcend conventional narrative to dive deep into the complexity of being. "Monday or Tuesday" includes the stories A Haunted House, A Society, Monday or Tuesday, An Unwritten Novel, The String Quartet, Blue & Green, Kew Gardens, and The Mark on the Wall—a kaleidoscope of voices and visions that celebrates the art of thinking, feeling, and imagining.

"We need more writers with bite. We have lived in the flatlands too long," writes John Barnie in one of his 'observations' ('Art in the Flatlands'). And bite he delivers. Ranging across politics, history, culture, ecological disaster, the meaning of truth, poetry, what we mean by identity and more… Barnie shares a window onto the world that is both erudite and particular. Leaning towards pessimism in a darkening world, these observations are often provocative, not from any bullish desire to antagonise, but as the result of mining a rationalist line of thought with an honesty and consistency that is applied as much to the author as to his subjects. There is a clarity here that some may find uncomfortable, but the aim is always dialogue above agreement; intellectual engagement above cheap solutions and sentimentality. Barnie asks us to think, consider and dig deeper, but most of all he asks that we "…live richly among our secondary self-created meanings, while recognising them for what they are. To face without flinching the nullity of the great void." ('Varieties of Meaning') Tsunami Days is a vital collection of essays for those prepared to engage with its unflinching observations.
