The Ship of the Line

The Ship of the Line

Brian Lavery

Naval Institute Press
2014
sidottu
The Ship of the Line takes the best models from the National Maritime Museum in Greenwich to tell the story of the evolution of the ship of the line, known as the capital ship and epitome of British sea power during its heyday from 1650-1850. This period coincided with the golden age of ship modeling. Each volume depicts over one hundred models in full color photos, including many close-up and detail views. These photos are captioned in depth, but many are also annotated to focus attention on interesting or unusual features. The book weaves the pictures into an authoritative text, producing a unique form of technical history. Ship modelers and those with an interest in the development of ship design during the sailing era will be attracted to the in-depth analysis of this beautifully presented book.

Skepp - 5 000 år av äventyr till sjöss är ett omfattande verk över människans maritima historia, från de första båtarna fram till dagens moderna fartyg. Här avslöjas dramat bakom de storslagna äventyren till sjöss med fakta om forskningsexpeditioner, sjöslag och kryssningsfartyg - alltsammans rikt illustrerat. Brian Lavery har skrivit en fängslande bok med historier om otroliga äventyr kombinerat med en enorm detaljrikedom kring olika båtar och skepp. I faktaavsnitten finns bland annat konstruktioner av typfartyg, från de antika galärerna till moderna krigsfartyg, medan andra ritningar tar dig under däck med rundvandringar på skepp såsom Susan Constant, som transporterade de första europeiska nybyggarna till Nordamerika, linjeskeppet HMS Victory och den kärnvapenladdade ubåten USS Nautilus - alla utmärkta exempel på sin tids teknik. Vidare behandlas maritimt inflytande på handel, industri och samhälle, och även gripande berättelser om krigen till sjöss återges. Varje avsnitt är kompletterat med biografier och ögonvittnesskildringar från människor som befunnit sig ombord vid de aktuella händelserna. Följ med på en respektingivande och häpnadsväckande resa i sjöfarandets förflutna. Det här är berättelsen om människans största maritima äventyr och tekniska framsteg och imponerande bragder, både ovan och under vattenytan. BRIAN LAVERY är intendent på National Maritime Museum i Greenwich. Han har bland annat skrivit två böcker om Amiral Nelson och dennes flotta. Han konsulterades under inspelningen av filmen Master and Commander - bortom världens ände och rådfrågades vid replikabyggena av Kapten Cooks Endeavour och emigrantskeppet Susan Constant. "Det är verkligen ett skickligt utnyttjande av 400 sidor [...] Har sällan sett så mycket välillustrerade och kommenterade fakta på ett så begränsat utrymme." Mats Garme, Ölandsbladet

The Royal Navy Officer’s Jutland Pocket-Manual 1916

The Royal Navy Officer’s Jutland Pocket-Manual 1916

W. M. James R.N.; Brian Lavery

The Pool of London Press
2016
sidottu
Published months before the Battle of Jutland, W. M. James' book was originally published as New Battleship Organisations. It was considered the ultimate guide to command and organization of every aspect of a modern First World War capital ship. Now republished as The Royal Navy Officer's Jutland Pocket-Manual 1916, this reprint marks the centenary of the First World War's most famous and deadly naval encounter. This small, but infinitely interesting manual provides a unique and highly revealing insight into life aboard ship: the mechanics of command and seamanship, the issuing of orders, and the broad expectations placed upon British naval officers. Specific sections are dedicated to the organization of watches; the division of work; naval routine; parades; anchor and cable work; coaling; the organization of chapel; on-board shops; cleaning; and even the ship's barbers. A series of detailed tables, diagrams, and humorous cartons accompany the lucid, period language of the First World War Senior Service and provide a further glimpse below-deck that will appeal to social and family historians as well as anyone with an interest in naval history.

Originally published in 1984. Many schools are faced with the problem of what to teach the large numbers of below average pupils who are never likely to pass any GCE or CSE examination. These pupils are often troublesome, bored and eager to get out of school into the real world of work. At this time, many schools were planning a new curriculum for these pupils - taking account of limited abilities and concentrating on teaching skills and knowledge which will be useful when they have left school. This book, based on extensive original research, considers this problem and puts forward suggestions for how the curriculum might be reformed to cater for these pupils. It discusses both what the content of the reformed curriculum might be and how the process might be implemented to involve those teachers who teach the pupils concerned.

Brian: the Son, is the third book to Morgan: The family. Brian is the voice of forgotten memories. He is the middle child who is ignored, blending into the background of the family. No one could fathom the abuse he suffered as the only male child of Morgan. As he grows older, he finds himself pulled into drugs and alcohol, knowing full well the dangers of these habits, having seen first-hand his own father's destruction. Brian struggles with the reality of his own dark secrets dwelling within. Is he as bad as the lurking demons whispering lies in his ears? Has he become like the man he has hated most of his life? As he looks in the mirror, he questions who he is, why was he born, and how long he can carry the burdens of the unspoken truths?

Perennially on the outside, Brian has led a solitary life; he works at Camden Council, lunches every day at Il Castelletto café and then returns to his small flat on Kentish Town Road. It is an existence carefully crafted to avoid disturbance and yet Brian yearns for more. A visit one day to the BFI brings film into his life, and Brian introduces a new element to his routine: nightly visits to the cinema on London’s South Bank. Through the works of Yasujiro Ozu, Federico Fellini, Agnes Varda, Yilmaz Güney and others, Brian gains access to a rich cultural landscape outside his own experience, but also achieves his first real moments of belonging, accepted by a curious bunch of amateur film buffs, the small informal group of BFI regulars. A tender meditation on friendship and the importance of community, Brian is also a tangential work of film criticism, one that is not removed from its subject matter, but rather explores with great feeling how art gives meaning to and enriches our lives.

One of SPIN'S Best Music Memoirs of 2022 Brian Johnson's memoir from growing up in a small town to starting his own band to ultimately replacing Bon Scott, the lead singer of one of the world biggest rock acts, AC/DC. They would record their first album together, the iconic Back in Black, which would become the biggest selling rock album of all time.Brian Johnson was born to a steelworker and WWII veteran father and an Italian mother, growing up in New Castle Upon Tyne, England, a working-class town. He was musically inclined and sang with the church choir. By the early '70s he performed with the glam rock band Geordie, and they had a couple hits, but it was tough going. So tough that by 1976, they disbanded and Brian turned to a blue-collar life.Then 1980 changed everything. Bon Scott, the lead singer and lyricist of the Australian rock band AC/DC died at 33. The band auditioned singers, among them Johnson, whom Scott himself had seen perform and raved about. Within days, Johnson was in a studio with the band, working with founding members Angus and Malcolm Young, Cliff Williams, and Phil Rudd, along with producer Mutt Lange.When the album, Back in Black, was released in July--a mere three months after Johnson had joined the band--it exploded, going on to sell 50 million copies worldwide, and triggering a years-long worldwide tour. It has been declared "the biggest selling hard rock album ever made" and "the best-selling heavy-metal album in history."The band toured the world for a full year to support the album, changing the face of rock music--and Brian Johnson's life--forever.
