This book tells in non-technical language how the British Navy contributed to the development of naval radar in World War 2. Addressed to the general reader, it tells not only the technical story in simple terms, but also of the operational use of shipborne radar at sea - for warning, for fire control, for fighter direction, for navigation, in all theatres of war - and particularly about the people who designed and fitted the equipment, and those who used it at sea.

Background to Discovery recounts the great voyages of discovery,
from Dampier to Cook, that excited such fervent political and
popular interest in eighteenth-century Europe. Perhaps this book's
greatest strength lies in its remarkable synthesis of both the
achievements of European maritime exploration and the political,
economic, and scientific motives behind it. Writing essays on the
literary and artistic response to the voyages as well, the
contributors collectively provide a rich source for historians,
geographers, and anyone interested in the history of voyage and
travel. This title is part of UC Press's Voices Revived
program, which commemorates University of California Press's
mission to seek out and cultivate the brightest minds and give them
voice, reach, and impact. Drawing on a backlist dating to 1893,
Voices Revived makes high-quality, peer-reviewed scholarship
accessible once again using print-on-demand technology. This title
was originally published in 1990.
