    Welshpool & Llanfair Light Railway Through the Years
    • The Welshpool & Llanfair Light Railway is one of the world famous Great Little Trains of Wales, and has now been operated for longer as a preserved railway than it was as a part of the national rail network. This book, compiled by the railway's archivist, uses photos from pre-preservation days as well as images from throughout the preservation era to create a historical journey through the lifetime of the railway. Many of the photographs are previously unpublished, and include unique views which can no longer be replicated.

      The Cold War is a vast and complex topic in recent international history. The author of this title has delineated the role of the United States from the global conflict, in order to focus upon the motives, course and consequences of American policy. Concepts such as containment, roll back and massive retaliation are deconstructed in a clear and concise manner. International relations are examined as responses to US actions, enabling students to obtain a coherent overview of America's involvement in the world policies of the period and providing them with answers to complex questions which require substantial factual knowledge.
