This is the 21st century update of yacht designer George Buehler's
popular The Troller Yacht Book, the guide to fuel efficient and
safe offshore cruising powerboats. Loaded with detailed information
about cruising design theory, building, and outfitting, it is even
more essential reading than the original edition for anyone
thinking about ocean cruising in a powerboat. Buehler's attractive,
affordable, rugged, and ultra-economical powerboat designs are
popular, and are cruising all the world's oceans.

The collapse of previous command economic structures in Eastern
Europe has led to an often chaotic reorganization of transport
operations. Southeastern Europe in particular not only lags behind
the western EU countries in terms of transport infrastructure, but
also in terms of management and policy. However, despite this, or
perhaps even because there are no long-standing established
patterns, this region is a fertile territory for innovation. Based
on the first major international conference dealing with transport
issues in Southeastern Europe, this edited volume brings together
key researchers and policy makers to discuss and critically analyse
these innovations. Focusing on issues related to privatization and
harmonization of national legislation, the contributors also
address the countries' struggle with inadequate management
structures and the challenges posed in running shipping, ports and
railways in a region fragmented into numerous nations and states.
It not only provides an up-to-date overview of transport operations
and planning in Southeastern Europe, but also provides more general
insights into recent and current developments in a region that has
undergone widespread upheavals in the past two decades, and is now
experiencing renewed growth.
'Sweet, funny, heartbreaking but uplifting at the same time. I
absolutely LOVED this book.'Alice Fletcher doesn't like to take
chances and she certainly doesn't believe in fate. Three years
after the end of her last long-term relationship, she's in no hurry
to risk another heartbreak. But fate has other plans. One day, on
her drive home, Alice comes across a man, dazed and lost, by the
side of a wrecked car. And with no one else around, Alice goes to
help. TV star Jimmy Mack is riding the crest of the career wave one
minute, and the next he's staring at his crashed car. But when
Alice comes to rescue him, things start to look up. What Alice and
Jimmy discover next changes everything. Fate might have marked them
out for each other, but somehow their destinies have got tangled.
Will they get their happily-ever-after, or might their time
together be shorter than either of them would hope... Join Jill
Steeples for this truly 'out of this world' romance and a love
story to remember. Perfect for fans of Jessica Redland, Cathy
Bramley and Miranda Dickinson. Please note that this book was
previously published as Desperately Seeking Heaven. What readers
are saying about Jill Steeples: 'So beautiful. So soothing. Filled
me with warmth for quite sometime after reading it. Amongst all
other things Jill Steeples teaches readers to dream, believe, love
and live life to the fullest.' 'What a fabulous book! I was so
engrossed nothing was getting in the way of reading this. The
ending was not what I expected - and I've never been so pleased to
be wrong footed!' 'This is so much more than a 'romance' and the
twists and turns had me desperate to know how it was all going to
turn out.' 'So I'm sitting here with tears streaming down my cheeks
as I write. I have literally just put down this amazing book. I
have read some brilliant and heart warming things in my time, but
this really did get to me.'
