Fighting Fire: Trucks, Tools and Tactics
In powerful, on-the-scene pictures and text,
author/photographer Shapiro explores the special
techniques and equipment brought to bear on fires in cities
and suburbs, rural outposts and wilderness, in homes and
industrial structures. He also takes a close look at hair-raising
rescues and other "non-firefighting" tasks that firefighters find
themselves facing. From bold photography and detailed
descriptions of fire fighting to close-up looks at the fire house
and its full array of equipment--trucks, ladders, pumpers, and
tankers--this book conveys both the technical nitty-gritty and
the fiery action of meeting and containing one of nature's
most brutal forces.

Peterbilt: Long-Haul Legend
Veteran trucking author Beach highlights the models that
have made Peterbilt such an outsize presence in the trucking
industry, as well as those trucks that figure prominently in the
Peterbilt story. From the classic "iron nose" and "narrow-nose"
butterfly hood, to the tilt-cab cab-over-engine model; from the
high cab model and first tilt hood to fiberglass and flat "pit style"
fenders; from the rarest Peterbilt ever manufactured (a mere
10 of the 346) to the company's flagship truck (the 379, built
from 1987 through 2007), these are the trucks and features,
the innovations and marvels of engineering, detailed and
richly illustrated in this book, that have made Peterbilt a name
to be reckoned with in trucking worldwide.
