Saturn V Rocket (UEB Uncontracted)
This is an image of the Saturn V rocket: the type that carried American astronauts on the various Apollo missions to the moon in the 1960s and '70s. There is a locator dot shown, which will be at the top left of the page when the image is the right way up. The rocket is seen from the side moving diagonally from the bottom left of the page to the top right. It was 354 feet (108 metres) high and consisted of four stages, the last of which landed on the moon. At the bottom left of the page are the first stage rocket engine's exhaust gases pushing the vehicle through the atmosphere. Up and right from this are three of the five first stage engine outlets. Moving up and to the right are the rest of the rocket stages; they are marked by lines across the width of the launch vehicle. The fine textured section at the top right of the page is the spacecraft. This carried the astronauts and the lunar module, which travelled to and landed on the moon. The pointed section at the very top was the LES (launch escape system)
SpaceShipOne (UEB Uncontracted)
This page shows an image of SpaceShipOne, designed to be the first non-government funded craft to reach the edge of space at just over one hundred kilometres. It was launched from a purpose-built aircraft, White Knight. There is a locator dot shown, which will be at the top left of the page when the image is the right way up. At the top centre of the page is the nose cone of the craft with many small round windows shown in a heavy texture. Down the page is the body of the plane and down again is the nozzle of the engine and the hot gases being expelled towards the bottom of the page. To the left and right of the body are the two wings. They are hinged so that their configuration can be changed for the climbing, gliding, and re-entry stages of flight.

Space Shuttle (UEB Uncontracted)
This is a diagram of an American space shuttle, designed to carry large loads in an orbital path around the circumference of the Earth. There is a locator dot shown, which will be at the top left of the page when the image is the right way up. The shuttle is shown in two views: a plan view (seen from above) and a side view. The shuttle is carried into the upper atmosphere of the earth by SRBs (solid rocket boosters) and then continues under the power of its own engines. The plan view is in the top left part of the page. The nose cone of the shuttle is at the far left. Directly right of this is the cockpit window, the main body of the craft with the payload doors, the engine covers, the rudder, and the engines. The swept-back wings of the shuttle extend up and down the page from the main body. To the far right of the plan view the expelled gasses that push the craft through space can be found. The side view of the shuttle is in the bottom right of the page. At the left of the image is the nose cone with a landing wheel just down the page. Moving right is the main body of the craft with the payload doors at the top and the wings and rear landing wheel down the page. Further to the right two of the four engines are visible with expelled gasses at the far right. Slightly up the page is the rudder.

Fishing smack, 1882 AD (Large Print)
by Rnib BookshareThis image shows a side view of an old fishing boat in full sail at sea. There is a locator dot shown, which will be at the top left when the image is the correct way up. An image border surrounds the image. The front of the boat (bow) is on the left and the back (stern) is on the right of the page. In the top centre of the image, is the top of the mast with a flag to the right. Moving down the upper mast there is a triangular topsail to the right. The upper mast is joined to the main mast at the bottom corner of the topsail. Going up and right from here is the gaff boom (a pole). The main gaff sail hangs from it. Down and to the left of the main mast are two triangular foresails. The one to the left has its bottom edge attached to a bowsprit which is a pole sticking out forwards horizontally. To the right the bottom edge of the main gaffsail is attached to the main boom, another horizontal pole. The sail covers part of the boom to the left. Down from the left part of the gaffsail is the top of a small cabin. To the right of the main mast is the mizzen mast. It has a small gaff sail to the right and a long thin flag at the top. At the very end of the boat, a small tender (dingy) hangs facing away so only the stern end of it can be found. The hull of the main boat is at the bottom of the image. It is moving to the left through choppy water so not all the hull can be found.

Museums in Postcolonial Europe
by Dominic ThomasThe history of European nation-building and identity formation is inextricably connected with museums, and the role they play in displaying the acquired spoils and glorious symbols of geopolitical power in order to mobilize public support for expansionist ventures. This book examines the contemporary debate surrounding the museum in postcolonial Europe. Although there is no consensus on the European colonial experience, the process of decolonization in Europe has involved an examination of the museum's place, and ethnic minorities and immigrants have insisted upon improved representation in the genealogies of European nation-states. Museological practices have been subjected to greater scrutiny in light of these political and social transformations. In addition to the refurbishment and restructuring of colonial-era museums, new spaces have also been inaugurated to highlight the contemporary importance of museums in postcolonial Europe, as well as the significance of incorporating the perspective of postcolonial European populations into these spaces. This book includes contributions from leading experts in their fields and represents a comparative trans-historical and transcolonial examination which contextualises and reinterpretates to the legacies and experiences of European museums. This book was published as a special issue of Africa and Black Diaspora: An International Journal.

Cultural Tourism And Sustainable Local Development
by Peter Nijkamp Luigi Fusco GirardWith the exponential rise in leisure mobility, tourism has increasingly become of great economic significance. Cultural heritage, such as museums, churches, historical landscapes, urban parks, and exhibitions attract many visitors and countries, regions and cities which house such historic-cultural amenities have seen increasingly large waves of tourists. While an avalanche of tourists has a positive impact on the local economy, such modern mass tourism also brings about negative externalities such as congestion, decline in quality of life, low access to cultural amenities and loss of local identity; to the extent that the sustainability conditions of a locality might be endangered. This tourism dilemma is particularly pronounced in cities with a rich cultural past, such as Venice, Naples and Amsterdam. Bringing together an interdisciplinary team of leading scholars from North America and Europe, this book examines the interface of local cultural resources and modern mass tourism from a sustainability perspective. It puts forward innovative methodologies and best case practice for future cultural conservation policies.
