The complete birdman : an illustrated history of man-powered flight

   

P629.1309 HAI 1976 Peter Haining 160 pages - Covers mostly the long history of men trying to fly with wings strapped to them, moving to achievable HPA's in the last few chapters. As it was published in 1976 it wasn't written with the knowledge of the Gossamer achievements and beyond but does speculates on others going for the Kremer prize.

Australian Cycling History Resource Centre

The newly established "Australian Cycling History Resource Centre" is situated at 3 Rosevear Place Dickson ACT and is an annexe of the Canberra Bicycle Museum, 2 Badham St Dickson ACT. We have lots of books, magazines, posters, photos relating to cycling, and of course this includes recumbents and all manner of human powered vehicles. We are open to the public on Wednesdays only at present, when they are welcome to come and browse our materials. Among our publications we have IHPV Assoc, Bike Culture (UK), Recumbent Cyclist News (USA), Laidback (USA). We also have examples of recumbents for people to look at, some of Wayne Kotzur's creations reside here.

As you can see these not only point to recumbents but also relating topics. Some of this material I haven't sited so am not sure of their relevance apart from what appears in the text in a Library search. You may know of other HPV material not mentioned here. Email me with the details and I'll add them if appropriate. Australians can usually borrow from libraries in other States and Territories as well as the National Library. State Libraries may only let you read the books in the library but you may be able to take them home if you push them a bit. In Tasmania we have just been hit with a fee of about $12 to anyone borrowing interstate through their local Library which is a bit of a bummer for anyone not living on the North Island. To borrow from the TAFE in Tasmania you may need to find a student there to help you out as they are very 'closed' to the general public. Tasmanian University students can also borrow from the Tasmanian TAFE Library I believe. The Western Australia State Library has an excellent searching setup using your Web Browser on the Net. Qld, Tas, Vic and SA use OPAC with a Telenet program. I've been using  the upgraded Hyper-terminal program that came with Win 95 now at ver 3. NSW uses a different system (than OPAC) which I found a little hard at first but still workable.

When searching the Net & Libraries, here is a list of useful key-words. Human Powered (most useful), Recumbent, Tricycle, HPV, Bicycle, Bicycle Design, Bicycle Construction, Bicycle Technology, Solar, Power Assist, Electric Vehicles, Hybrid.

The Net book store Amazon.com has on my most recent search 15 HPV related books listed for sale. Use the key words 'Human Powered' as a start to see some of them. Dymocks on-line may have what you are after also.
