Each working day 500 million people across the planet experience the miracle & misery of commuting. Whether undertaken by car, bus, train or bicycle, the practice shapes our days & creates a time & a space for a surprisingly diverse range of activities. In RUSH HOUR, Iain Gately traces the past, present & future of commuting, from the age of Dickens to the potential of the driverless car. He examines the contrasting experiences of commuters in Britain & elsewhere in the world: from the crush-loaded salarymen of the Tokyo metro to the road-rage afflicted middle managers of America. Notwithstanding its occasional traumas, commuting emerges as a positive aspect of modern life. It has dictated the growth of cities; been proving ground for new technologies; & given countless people freedom of movement & the opportunity to improve their lives. ...

When Mary Davidson, the eldest daughter of a whaling family in Eden, New South Wales, sets out to chronicle the particularly difficult season of 1908, the story she tells is poignant & hilarious, filled with drama & misadventure. It`s a season marked not only by the sparsity of whales & the vagaries of weather, but also by the arrival of John Beck, an itinerant whaleman with a murky past, on whom Mary promptly develops an all-consuming crush. But hers is not the only romance to blossom amidst the blubber.. . Swinging from Mary`s hopes & disappointments, both domestic & romantic, to the challenges that beset their tiny whaling operation, Rush Oh! is a celebration of an extraordinary episode in Australian history when a family of whalers formed a fond, unique alliance with a pod of frisky killer whales
- & in particular, a killer whale named Tom.
