The Bombardier Story: Planes, Trains, and Snowmobiles by Larry MacDonald, ISBN 0471646407
When Joseph-Armand Bombardier invented the snowmobile in 1937, little did he know that his company would become a manufacturing powerhouse in the global transportation industry. As of 2001, Bombardier Inc. was number one in railway equipment, number two in recreational vehicles, and number three in civil aircraft.
Today, Bombardier products are everywhere. Millions of people travel daily on Bombardier subway cars, automated metros, and commuter trains that run around the world in cities such as New York City, Toronto, Chicago, Vancouver, Mexico City, and Kuala Lumpur. Hundreds of thousands travel to vacation and business destinations each year aboard Bombardier's intercity trains such as the Acela (a high-speed passenger service on Amtrak's Boston-Washington corridor), and on Bombardier's regional jets. Thousands of busy executives fly every day in Learjet, Challenger, and Global Express business jets made by Bombardier. And hundreds of thousands enjoy their leisure hours at play on Ski-Doo snowmobiles and Sea-Doo watercraft.
"The Bombardier Story "tells the fascinating tale of a company riding the ups and downs of a six-decade journey to the top. In the early 1970s, the Ski-Doo snowmobile accounted for over 90 percent of the company's revenue (one model was so popular that Canada Post even produced a commemorative stamp). But the rest of the 1970s were stormy times for Bombardier as rising energy prices, a maturing snowmobile market, and major economic forces sent the entire industry into a downward spiral. "The Bombardier Story "describes how close to ruin the company came, and how it survived a drastic shakeout that reduced the number of players in the snowmobile industryfrom over 100 to just three.
This near-collapse ensure that the company would never again depend so heavily on one sector.

Frontiers of X-Ray Astronomy by Andrew Fabian, ISBN 0521827590
These contributions by recognized authorities originate from a Royal Society discussion meeting held to review the most recent results obtained from the current generation of X-ray telescope research. The launch of Chandra and XMM-Newton has revolutionized research in X-ray astronomy over the past few years, and high quality X-ray observations now being made have had a major impact on topics ranging from protostars to cosmology. This book is a valuable reference for research astronomers and graduate students.
