The Beaten Track Volume 3: The Traction and Extremities of Britain’s Rail Network 1970-1985
The Beaten Track was first published in 2021. Its combination of outstanding colour photography from 1970–1985, featuring superseded motive power and long-lost extremities of the British railway network received widespread critical acclaim. Although originally intended to be a single volume, the success of The Beaten Track gave rise to a second volume, published in 2022, which continued in the same vein and received similar praise in reviews. We’re now proud to present The Beaten Track Volume 3 – a third selection of the best colour photography from 1970–1985. More than 250 high quality colour images illustrate an assortment of traction types, very few of which can still be seen on the main line, many at railway locations that have long since disappeared or have changed out of all recognition. All the photographs are accompanied by extensive captions, containing considerable historical and anecdotal information relating to the lines, stations and trains depicted. Hardback. A4 size. 176 pages.Read more

Safety Differently: Human Factors for a New Era, Second Edition
The second edition of a bestseller, Safety Differently: Human Factors for a New Era is a complete update of Ten Questions About Human Error: A New View of Human Factors and System Safety. Today, the unrelenting pace of technology change and growth of complexity calls for a different kind of safety thinking. Automation and new technologies have resulted in new roles, decisions, and vulnerabilities whilst practitioners are also faced with new levels of complexity, adaptation, and constraints. It is becoming increasingly apparent that conventional approaches to safety and human factors are not equipped to cope with these challenges and that a new era in safety is necessary.
In addition to new material covering changes in the field during the past decade, the book takes a new approach to discussing safety. The previous edition looked critically at the answers human factors would typically provide and compared/contrasted them with current research and insights at that time. The edition explains how to turn safety from a bureaucratic accountability back into an ethical responsibility for those who do our dangerous work, and how to embrace the human factor not as a problem to control, but as a solution to harness.
See What’s in the New Edition:
- New approach reflects changes in the field
- Updated coverage of system safety and technology changes
- Latest human factors/ergonomics research applicable to safety
Organizations, companies, and industries are faced with new demands and pressures resulting from the dynamics and nature of the modern marketplace and from the development and introduction of new technologies. This new era calls for a different kind of safety thinking, a thinking that sees people as the source of diversity, insight, creativity, and wisdom about safety, not as the source of risk that undermines an otherwise safe system. It calls for a kind of thinking that is quicker to trust people and mistrust bureaucracy, and that is more committed to actually preventing harm than to looking good. This book takes a forward-looking and assertively progressive view that prepares you to resolve current safety issues in any field.

An Introduction to Hydraulics of Fine Sediment Transport (Advanced Series on Ocean Engineering Book 56)
This book expounds the hydraulics of fine sediment which is almost ubiquitously found in coastal and estuarine waters, and in rivers, lakes, and reservoirs. Although the basic subject may be categorized as applied marine physics in shallow waters, several physicochemical and biological effects on particulate transport have been addressed.
In this second edition most of the chapters have been substantially updated, rewritten, and expanded. Overall, a significant change has also been made throughout by replacing sediment concentration, a unit dependent quantity at the heart of numerous descriptions, measurements, and calculations, with the nondimensional sediment volume fraction. It marks a divergence in the manner in which fine sediment transport data and calculations are conventionally presented.
The book is mainly written for civil engineering seniors and graduate students, to offer a comprehensive foundation in hydraulics of fine sediment. The book is also a useful reference for researchers interested in the effects of physical chemistry and biology on fine sediment transport in water and to an extent on coastal and estuarine morphodynamics, sediment transport, port and harbor engineering, and applied shallow watwer marine physics. The book is also recommended reading for those interested in understanding particle transport in water.
Related Link(s)
Readership: Teachers, researchers, upper division undergraduates and graduate students in civil engineering, environmental engineering and coastal geology; Courses in sediment transport, port and harbor engineering, and applied shallow watwer marine physics. Recommended reading for those interested in understanding particle transport in water.

Technical Engineering Drawing Manual Following ISO and BSI standards – Volume 1: 100 fully worked drawing examples featuring Design for Manufacturing principles
We use real-life scenarios to show what happens in day-to-day product development. The book’s examples are driven by Design For Manufacturing (DfM), Systems Thinking, User-Centred Design, realistic tolerances and drawing annotations.This book gives every product designer, engineer, maker and manufacturer the skills to document, create and understand technical drawings: readers will benefit from this book regardless of their experience level.
The 100 examples apply to any industry: from robotics and medical devices to machinery and aerospace. We address outdated practices from old standards that have no place in modern times, but we still find them in most design offices.
Throughout the book, we use proven design workflows to help you develop mechanical systems cost-effectively, integrating ISO standards for technical annotation and document management. The workflows include document revision control, ISO and BS 8888: 2020 compliance, Bill of Materials (BOM), part dimensioning and tolerancing.
PROTONIUM dedicates its efforts to spreading manufacturing knowledge that conditions parts’ design and how they are made. We believe that by designing with DfM considerations and thorough technical documentation, engineering companies and manufacturers can reduce the iteration cycles, minimise the use of raw materials, reduce their carbon footprint and break into the market faster.
Introducing this book into a company’s training workflow will have several operational positive impacts:
• Engineering managers can bring consistent training by providing the engineers with the means to develop their design for manufacturing skills.
• Project managers will de-risk design deliverables and keep the project’s cost lower as designs are cost-effective to manufacture.
• Supply Chain professionals will get faster supplier quotes because designs are manufacturable.
• Designers will iterate less and deliver faster because their designs are developed in fewer iterations as the features can be manufactured.
• Companies will reduce development costs and increase quality in tandem with elevating the agility to react to market changes.Read more
