The Trent and Mersey Canal first came into use in 1777. A vital transport link for the industries of the midlands - indeed Josiah Wedgewood of the pottery was an early supporter - it carried coal, ironstone, limestone merchandise, pottery and salt. Despite the arrival of the railways and subsequently motorways, the carriage of freight continued up until 1970. After inevitable decline, various restoration programmes have been undertaken and the waterway is now popular with boaters. A working waterway for 250 years, the need to adapt to changing transport needs has been a constant factor in this canal's history. With over 100 archive and present-day photographs, maps and plans, the book describes the need for the canal and the key personnel who were involved in its inception. Engineering and constructions of the canal and its branches are looked at in detail along with further improvements to the canal and how these boosted trade. A century of ownership by railway companies, subsequent nationalisation and later decline is discussed. The book also looks at the people who lived and worked on the canal. Finally, restoration, rejuvenation and the future of the canal is covered. Illustrations, color; Illustrations, unspecified

The U.S. Air Force has recognized that organizations across Air Force (AF) installations often require geospatial information resources or maps to accomplish mission essential tasks. To provide an AF-wide approach to addressing this need, in 2001, the Headquarters Air Force Geo Integration Office formed the USAF GeoBase program. GeoBase is the name given to the Air Force's GIS program. Although the AF has specific needs and requirements for GIS, the foundation for the AF GeoBase program remains in the use of private sector GIS technology.

Thank you for checking out "Temple of Doom" my Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom parody piece. As the threat of Mola Ram getting the stones becomes inevitable Indy decides to do the riskiest things he has ever thought of and that is to cut the bridge. This intense moment has always stuck out in my mind and I love it. I grew up on the Indiana Jones films and I bet you did too. This piece was originally commissioned by my friends Kim and Paul and they said it would be great to share it with all other Indiana Jones fans. This print is a perfect gift for the Indiana Jones fan in your life, and yes that can even be you! It is great to have on your wall in your room or even in your office at work so you can always be reminded of how much fun Indiana Jones is. Originally hand drawn/sketched, brought into Illustrator and transformed with lines, colors, and patterns to look like the piece you see before you. This is digitally printed on to a heavy card stock. The colors come out with a matte look so there is no gloss or shine. The print will be signed and numbered when it comes to you as they are limited. 17 inches wide by 11 inches high I do not frame the piece as I want you, the customer, to have the choice to frame it or not, and if you are giving it as a gift and are unsure if the recipient will frame it or not as well. I ship it in a triangular poster tube supplied by the USPS so it is shipped securely. I am currently investigating other shipping methods so it may be different but still will be safe. Please feel free to go to my website and see more of my artwork that I may eventually sell here. www.joeldsiegel.com Also feel free to follow me on Twitter for the latest news from my art world and what is coming out soon. https://twitter.com/joeldsiegel Or you can like my page on facebook and follow me there as well. http://www.facebook.com/pages/Joel-D-Siegel/204542866224885 Thank you for your interest in my artwork and please check back soon as more pieces and sizes become available.
