There are few people who can resist the appeal of gliding over the open sea in a trim and handsome yacht, or the glamour of the great international yachting challenges. Unlike dinghy sailing, yachting offers the opportunity to cruise in comfort to exotic destinations, and advances in design and technology make today's boats safer and better appointed than ever before But getting started can be a complex and costly business. The Yachting Handbook is aimed at the sailor who wants to move up to bigger, more advanced craft. The book covers the basics - technical, legal and financial - of buying the right vessel and fitting it out for your needs, as well as the care and maintenance of hull, rigging, engine, water and electrical systems. Chapters on navigation (both celestial and electronic) and weather and tides will offer the essentials of these complex and fascinating subjects, and chapters on planning cruises, cruising routes and races will provide inspiration for anyone who's ever dreamed of venturing beyond the harbour mouth. There is comprehensive coverage of emergency procedures. Illustrated throughout in full colour, The Yachting Handbook will appeal to sailors of all experience levels. Contents include: Choosing a cruising yacht; Preparing your yacht; Communications and Navigation; Weather; Safety and Emergencies; Cruising and Cruising destinations; and Racing.
Written by the highly experienced author-examiner team of Simon
Green, Rob Lewis and Julia Willerton, this popular series has been
extensively revised to provide authoritative, accurate and
comprehensive coverage of the 2015 specification. This bookwill
help you to develop core psychology skills and encourage you to
become a competent researcher and independent learner.
This is the only textbook that fully supports the OxfordAQA
International A Level Psychology specification (9685), for first
teaching from September 2018. It offers students a stimulating,
effective, introduction to A Level Psychology, in a global context.
Exploring interesting topics, including the psychology of sleep,
memory, and work and the individual, it also considers both
psychological theory and practical application. Two dedicated
chapters help students with the critical analysis, independent
thinking and scientific research skills needed for higher level
education. Plus, there is a range of exam preparation resources and
practice including multiple choice, short-answer and essay-style
questions.
