Starting with an introduction about discovering the coal-burning paddle steamers of the Humber in the early 1970s the book continues with a brief history of the ferries of the Humber Estuary, the coming of the first paddle steamer, the Caledonia, in 1814 and the rapid expansion of steamers operating on the estuary. It includes personal memories of those who worked on, used and loved the Humber ferries. It especially looks at the paddle steamers, Tattershall Castle, Wingfield Castle and Lincoln Castle, which became the last coal-burning paddle steamers operating a regular service in the United Kingdom. An appendix lists over 80 paddle steamers from the Caledonia of 1814 to the last of the line the Lincoln Castle identified as working on the Humber Estuary from published and archive sources. It includes the diesel powered paddle vessel Farringford which saw out the service in 1981 and also other vessels associated with the Hull to New Holland ferry.

Duane T. Gish, PhD, wrote the following words to Paul G. Humber, A.B., M.S., B.D., in July of 2005: "You have been for many years a faithful and effective defender of God's marvelous creation, and your latest book will be an outstanding contribution to your continuing efforts." Educator and Author Paul G. Humber challenges evolutionary thinking in this, his third book. He had promoted creation science for twenty-four years while serving on the faculty of The Haverford School on Philadelphia's Main Line. Prior to that, he challenged atheistic humanism while serving on the faculty of Abington High School. Many articles of his have been published by the Institute for Creation Research and the Creation Research Society. He has expressed himself in school publications and upper school assemblies. Colleagues have invited him to share his perspectives in classes, and since assuming leadership with Skilton House Ministries, he has moderated and participated in creation-evolution debates, the most recent of which was featured in The Philadelphia Inquirer on Sunday, May 29, 2005. Currently, as Executive Director of Skilton House, the author promotes Christian Released Time education for public school children in Philadelphia and the surrounding area. Christian theism can and should thrive in prominent secular schools. Creation, consistent with true science and the Bible, can be taught legally in such contexts. Dr. Mary Schweitzer wrote to the author: "Never in my wildest dreams would I have predicted what we found." Soft, flexible dinosaur tissue was extracted from this Tyrannosaurus rex bone

This is the remarkable story of the trail that became the longest street in the world, as officially recognized by The Guinness Book of Records. Begun in 1794, Yonge Street was planned by the ambitious Lieutenant Governor John Graves Simcoe as a military route between Lake Ontario and Lake Huron. Anxious to bolster Upper Canada’s defences against the new republic to the south, which he heartily loathed, Simcoe had his Queen’s Rangers survey and develop the route from Toronto to present-day Holland Landing, and laid out lots for settlement. Even the trusty Rangers, as one surveyor complained in 1799, needed little excuse to lay down tools and vanish "to carouse upon St. George’s day." Handsomely illustrated with the author’s drawings, and painstakingly researched, this book captures the not-so-distant days when muddy Yonge Street was the backbone of pioneer Ontario.

'A triumph' INDEPENDENT 'A thought-provoking and indispensable book' DAILY MAIL 'An instant classic ... I have been reading it with unalloyed admiration and delight' EVENING STANDARD Roy Strong has written an exemplary introduction to the history of Britain, as first designated by the Romans. It is a brilliant and balanced account of successive ages bound together by a compelling narrative which answers the questions: 'Where do we come from?' and 'Where are we going?' Beginning with the earliest recorded Celtic times, and ending with the present day of Brexit Britain, it is a remarkable achievement. With his passion, enthusiasm and wide-ranging knowledge, he is the ideal narrator. His book should be read by anyone, anywhere, who cares about Britain's national past, national identity and national prospects.
