First published in 1940, this book was written by the senior mathematical master at Marlborough College in Wiltshire, England. It was designed as a student textbook and the author aimed to give a pre-university level introduction to the use of coordinates and analytical methods in geometry. With only a basic knowledge of elementary calculus and rectangular Cartesian coordinates required, the book offers many exercises suitable for a beginner and detailed introductions to a large variety of methods and ideas.

In this short book the author has attempted to convey, in plain non-technical language, a general idea of the conditions under which aircraft is playing its part in the War, and also to indicate the chief directions in which it is developing. To the general public the War has revealed, in a startling manner, the wonderful potentialities which aircraft, and aeroplanes in particular, possess as weapons of war. But although there is at last plenty of enthusiasm for Aviation, there is still very little real knowledge of the vast possibilities which it offers. And, if we are to have an air force as proportionately powerful as our Navy is to-day-and it is absolutely essential that we should-a better and wider understanding will be most necessary. Today, for instance, people do not fully realise that aeroplanes, as well as airships, are still in their infancy, in spite of the extraordinary achievements which they have accomplished. Then, again, aircraft is at present regarded as being almost entirely for use in warfare, although, as a matter of fact, it will be of the utmost value for civil purposes in times of peace. The author does not pretend that book is in any way complete. Indeed, to attempt to be complete on the subject of Aviation is inevitably to be incomplete, so swiftly does it progress. His intention has been to make a brief survey of Aviation in its present-day position, and to show how important it is that in future it should receive a great deal more attention than hitherto.

After completing 1400 kilometres of walking two different Caminos in Spain and in Portugal, I knew I had to share my love of these journeys through a book. I have never written a book before this one. I have attempted many, but the inspiration was never as intense as now.There are so many books about the Camino that one would wonder why another one is necessary. All the books I could get my hands on regarding this subject were written about the author's personal journey or were written strictly as travel guides.I was inspired to write something different, so I wrote a preparation guide. I want to whet your appetite for your Camino journey. In addition, I want to help you cover all the details, large and small, in your planning so that your Camino will be safe and successful.Everything that is written here, in this guide for planning your trip, comes from lessons I have learned in preparing for and completing my Caminos. I have supplied you with information you need before you go and information that is good to have when you are there.Much of the information in this book is similar to what you will find on various web sites that are dedicated to El Camino. The advantage of using this book to plan is that all the information you need is within these pages. In addition to the general information, I have gone one step further and supplied you with essential tips for packing, travelling, eating, finding your bed and much more that the web sites do not provide.Enjoy your preparations, and...Buen Camino
