Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.
Greek Waters Pilot is the definitive cruising guide to the coasts
and islands of Greece, covering the entire area from the Ionian
Islands to the Aegean, Rhodes and Crete and includes details of
over 450 harbours and anchorages in a single volume. Greek Waters
Pilot has been painstakingly compiled from Rod and Lucinda
Heikell's own survey work and exploration over four decades, as
well as first-hand information from their network of contributors.
The organisation of so much detail within the confines of a single
volume is impressive. This, the fourteenth edition, marks the
fortieth anniversary of the first edition of this celebrated
cruising guide. It has once again been thoroughly updated to
reflect developments and changes across the whole region. Enriched
with fascinating historical, mythological and gastronomic
information, Greek Waters Pilot is an incomparable resource and
companion for anyone planning to spend time in these endlessly
enticing waters.
This 8th edition has been fully revised to include new information
on marinas, visitor moorings and anchorages, with all the attendant
facilities available to cruising sailors. There is also plenty to
give historical context and to whet the appetite for visits and
exploration ashore. Plans have been updated throughout. Numerous
photographs help to orientate, inform and inspire, including a new
set of images for the Italian coast and Venice lagoon. For
occasional charterers or long-term cruisers alike, Trevor and Dinah
Thompson's thorough and comprehensive work should be the first
choice of any cruising sailor wanting to make the most of this rich
and diverse coastline. Adriatic Pilot is complemented by Imray's
series of charts for the Dalmatian coast.
Full information on boating facilities is included in the mapping,
as are all the essential details on restricting dimensions, locks
and bridges. Also shown are pubs, the Thames Path and other
features of special interest. Large-scale insets of Oxford,
Abingdon, Reading, Henley, Windsor and Eton, the River Wey junction
and the entrance to the Grand Union Canal add to the clarity of
this well presented map.
The River Thames Book, now in its seventh edition, is the
best-selling guide to the non-tidal Thames from Teddington to its
source in Gloucestershire. This complete guide covers the Barrier
to Cricklade with the River Wey, Basingstoke Canal and the Kennet
& Avon Canal to Great Bedwyn. Chris Cove-Smith's updated text
describes the navigation with support of clear and detailed
mapping. The River Thames Book also lists in exhaustive detail the
facilities to be found along each section of the navigation.
Plans included: Marmaris Limani (1:50 000) Skopea Limani (1:100
000) Goecek (1:25 000) Fethiye (1:35 000) Approaches to
Kastellorizo and Kas (1:75 000) Imray-Tetra charts for the Ionian
and Aegean are widely acknowledged as the best available for the
cruising sailor. They combine the latest official survey data with
first-hand information gathered by Rod and Lucinda Heikell. The
chart is designed to be used alongside Imray pilot guides of the
area. Like all Imray charts, they are printed on water resistant
Pretex paper for durability, and they include many anchorages,
facilities and inlets not included on official charts. This edition
includes the latest official data combined with additional
information sourced from Imray's network to make it ideal for small
craft. The latest harbour developments at Goecek are included as is
latest official bathymetric survey data. There has been general
updating throughout.
A Different View of Curriculum and Assessment links a theoretical
pedagogical model with a sympathetic practical model of curriculum
and assessment difference for those with PMLD, CLD and SLD. Split
into two parts, this accessible resource combines theoretical
explanations with first-hand accounts of how this works in
educational establishments, through the analysis of evidence-based
practice carried out in a number of English special (specialist)
schools. The expert authors challenge the notion that a national,
or common core standards, curriculum, however expertly
differentiated, is fit-for-purpose for the PMLD, CLD and SLD
populations in any country. A Different View offers cogent and
reasoned arguments for considering that irrespective of age, such
learners learn differently to their neuro-typical, conventionally
developing peers. If they learn differently, this book shows how we
should be teaching them differently. Reflecting the centrality of
process over product, this book will clearly explain how each
individual learner might be enabled and facilitated to become the
best they can be and do the best they can do, in order to fully
realise their potential as equal and independent citizens.
Fully revised for its third edition, the Oxford Handbook of
Expedition and Wilderness Medicine continues to be the essential
resource for all expedition medics and well-informed travellers, as
well as nurses, paramedics, medical students, and other expedition
members travelling in remote, wilderness areas of the world. Now
containing more guidance about caving medicine, the third edition
includes revised and additional illustrations and essential maps of
the spread of diseases. Clear and concise, readers can rely on this
handbook to provide the key knowledge and practical advice they
need. It enables efficient preparation and planning before the
journey, advises on camp logistics, risk management, and medical
problems during the expedition, as well as highlighting rare but
important risks to those visiting remote areas. Focusing on
preventative measures, it also contains chapters dealing with
crisis management, emergency care, and evacuation from challenging
environments, with guidance about the obligations of a clinician
joining an expedition, ethical approaches to such work, and
medicine in various extreme environments. This edition will give
you the confidence and skills you need to travel to any extreme or
remote environment. Incorporating the combined knowledge and
experience of a team of experienced clinicians and expeditioners,
this is a practical, easy-to-use guide to all aspects of expedition
and wilderness medicine.
Within easy reach of all the main harbours and marinas lie an
abundance of lochs and islands with numerous idyllic anchorages to
explore. Some of these are easy to find, others pose more of a
navigational challenge and are accessed via intricate channels
using a series of well-described transits, others lie beyond
turbulent tidal sounds. All reward with stunning scenery and there
is somewhere for everyone, whether on a first-time visit, or a
return to familiar waters. This new edition, updated by Edward
Mason, continues the long-respected legacy of CCC publications for
cruising sailors. Information on harbours and marinas has been
thoroughly revised, and plans have been updated throughout. Several
new photographs have been included to help to identify key
navigational features as well as to entice further exploration.
Details on plans have been updated with reference to the Imray
chart pack for the area (2800 Kintyre to Ardnamurchan). References
to Bob Bradfield's useful Antares large scale charts are also
included. Supplements are available to download from the club's
website.
With support from the Inland Waterways Association, Friends of the
River Nene and others, and drawing on his longstanding connection
with the river, Roger Green has thoroughly revised and updated this
popular guide. A new design includes thorough navigation notes
alongside more detailed maps of the canal and river, showing the
main features of the navigation. Helpful tables indicate mileages
and likely timings between locks to help with passage planning and
also provide further information on all the moorings, facilities
and services, many of which have been much improved in recent
years. Other features of interest such as canoe launch access and
portage points are also shown. Details of facilities, walking and
cycling routes and local history add useful information.
Photographs help to highlight points of interest along the way and
confirm this guide to be the essential companion for anyone
planning to navigate the river, whether by boat, canoe, bicycle or
on foot.
West Aegean is a companion guide which provides details of places
that are mentioned only lightly in Greek Waters Pilot. It is
particularly useful for charterers, flotilla sailors and others
based in the area. There is in depth information on getting around,
places to visit on land and background information which cover
topics ranging from food and wine to Greece's Classical past and
ancient sites. Rod and Lu Heikell's writing is acclaimed and their
pilotage notes, supported by plans and photographs many of which
have been taken by Lu, are regarded as the last word on the areas
that they cover.

Fully updated, and with new sections on behaviourism, attachment
disorders, neuro-scientific developments and working with
dis-engaged learners, this second edition of Turning the Tables
contains real-life case studies, strategies for identification and
handy hints and tips throughout. It is the authoritative guide to
tackling challenging behaviour and working effectively with
children, young people and adults with severe learning difficulties
(SLD), profound and multiple learning difficulties (PMLD) and those
on the autistic spectrum with a dual ASD and learning difficulties
diagnosis. With a unique approach, the author stresses the need to
diagnose not only the correct difficulty but the degree of learning
difficulty for a lasting resolution, as well as tackling common
behavioural problems such as attention needing and task avoidance.
Chapters are split into three specific areas, SLD, PMLD and
ASD/SLD, covering: the 'Magnificent Seven' fundamental principles
of challenging behaviour strategies for correct identification of
the main area of learning difficulty improving teaching methods and
strategies to resolve challenging behaviour, including handy hints
and tips when things don't go to plan extensive use of real case
studies to illustrate strategies for resolution guidance on writing
your own Behaviour Support Plan. This is a practical and
authoritative guide to dealing with the myriad of challenging
behaviours that constantly puzzle practitioners. It is an essential
read for all professionals, parents and carers working with
children, young people and adults with SLD, SLD/ASD and PMLD.
Inclusion is Dead is a provocative polemic against the widely held
notion that inclusion for all children and young people with SEN is
both possible and desirable. For those with severe learning
difficulties (SLD) and profound and multiple learning difficulties
(PMLD), the authors argue, it is neither. Imray and Colley assert
that the dominance of inclusion has meant that there has been no
serious attempt to look at the educational difficulties faced by
learners with PMLD and SLD. As a vision of egalitarianism and
equality for all, they say, inclusion is dead. The authors
controversially believe that unless education changes, it will
remain as a disabling institution that does the exact opposite of
its intention. The book presents the argument that theorists of
inclusion have failed to provide practical solutions on how
inclusion can be achieved when SLD and PMLD learners are involved,
as well as discussing the drawbacks of the 'inclusion for all
argument'. With up-to-date references throughout, Inclusion is Dead
will be an insightful read for teachers and SENCO trainers, as well
as postgraduates and undergraduates studying courses on politics,
philosophy and society.
Plans included: Arcipelago di La Maddalena - Southern Group (1:65
