The Maui Revealed guidebook mentioned the final resting place of a Pontiac Grand Prix, situated in an unlikely location on West Maui, given that driving a car here would be next to impossible. Definitely worth the hike through the brambles that tore up my legs a little bit.

Daniel Schmitt: "Through its publications as the world’s only functioning whistleblowing platform, WikiLeaks has exposed corruption, political murder, torture as well as abuse of power on all continents.
But not only is WikiLeaks publishing the unpublished. Increasingly WikiLeaks has to preserve investigative stories that classic newsmedia cannot defend against those abusing legal systems in order to stiffle freedom of speech and supress critical voices.
According to the press, the platform has in its short existance produced more scoops than the Washington Post in the past 30 years. It has been called the most successful journalist operation in the world, and its internet address been said to be the home of free speech.
Besides offering the most sophisticated legal and technical infrastructure for the protection of the press and its sources, the recipe for this success is very simple: WikiLeaks is upholding its principles, no matter what.
Join us for a session about the state of the media, possibilities to defend our historic record and requirements for the future to preserve the 4th estate as an independent mechanism to control those in power."

From my visit to Sequoia National Park at the end of June. Sequoia is definitely the place to go for sequoias. Its dogwood blooming season is later than Yosemite's, and seems to last longer since the accessible groves are at a variety of elevations.
I used this as the header image for the Sequoia National Park chapter in my 320-page guidebook Photographing California Vol. 2 - South starting on page 145.
A page from the c1938 guidebook to the Liverpool Overhead Railway that is dated due to the fact of the overprinting of information relating to Liverpool Zoo, at Mossley Hill, having closed. It appears that not even Don Leno and his lions, Sumitra and her snakes nor a 'thrice daily' circus could stave this event off. The other page shows the guided tours and trips of liners berthed at Liverpool taht the LOR issued 'combined tickets' for.
A sketch map of the Epping Forest (and North East London) area from a c1922 London Underground guidebook that included details of bus services run by the subsidiary London General Omnibus Company whose routes are shown as thick edged roads. The map shows much of the area, such as around Loughton, prior to the 1930s suburban expansion that built on the growth that had been triggered by the arrival of the main line railway in 1856/65. The Epping/Ongar branch would, in post-WW2 years be subsumed into London Transport's empire as part of the Central line. The guide was intended to help lure leisure travellers out - using the LGOC's extensive bus network and describing places of interest and 'rambles' int he vicinity.
The other item of note is the cartographer - "FHS" - Stingemore, who at the time also produced the Underground's pocket diagram (prior to the famous 1933 Beck version) and who also drew cartoons for the Underground Group's staff publications.
You have to climb to the top of the first 650 foot high wall of dunes to see the other 45 square miles on the other side, but the view is well worth the effort!
I used a vertical crop from this image as the chapter header for the Mojave Desert chapter of my 320-page guidebook Photographing California Vol. 2 - South, page 249.
Any history of the UK's iron and steel industry would have to include the name Vickers as it was synonymous with the growth of both Sheffield, one of the great centres of these industries, as well as the development companies that expanded from the 'simple' manufacturing of the raw materials into the actual utilisation of those products; in Vickers case this was into the allied field of armaments. The company's origins date back to 1828 and the works seen here, in c1879, had opened in 1863 as the business flourished and the company went public in 1867. By the late 1880s they had diversified into military grade steel production as well weapons. In time they bought into many allied undertakings such as shipbuilding. The 1928 merge with another similar giant, Armstrong, woudl see this plant pass to their new subsidiary the English Steel Corporation. In time, after a period of nationalisation, the rump of the undertaking became the current Sheffield Forgemasters.
