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.

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.

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.

Plans included: Continuation of North Ionian Islands to Nisis Othoni (1:185 000) Vorion Steno Kerkiras (1:70 000) Ormos Gouvion (Nisos Kerkira) (1:25 000) Kerkira (Corfu Town) (Nisos Kerkira) (1:25 000) Ormos Parga (1:10 000) Continuation of Amvrakikos Kolpos (1:185 000) Limin Alipa (Nisos Kerkira) (1:10 000) Ormos Lakka (Nisos Paxoi) (1:7500) Port Gaios (Nisos Paxoi) (1:10 000) 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. It includes the latest official bathymetric surveys. There has been general updating throughout.

Since J W Norie published the first edition of his Complete Set of Nautical Tables and Epitome of Practical Navigation in 1803, many changes to the tables have been necessary in both content and presentation. New tables have been included, obsolete ones deleted to conform with changing techniques of navigation, with the aim of improving the accuracy of the calculated position and reducing the tedium of the calculation. Since the commissioning of the Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS), its proven accuracy and reliability in all weather conditions have resulted in confidence and almost unquestioning dependence on its ability to provide a vessel’s position, course and speed. Its use is widespread but the marine environment is a hostile one and failure of electronic equipment or of the system itself is a possibility. No prudent seafarer would proceed on an ocean passage without a reliable navigational back-up. The Explanation is in the form of a detailed step-by-step description, by means of worked examples, of the different methods of performing navigational calculations using a scientific calculator and/or the tables. A number of esteemed editors have worked on Nories’ Nautical Tables over the years and this edition includes new contributions from François Hugo. This edition now presents formulae in an appropriate format for direct entry to a scientific calculator. Because the possibility of navigation without even an appropriate calculator exists, the logarithms have been retained. • All the tables required for coastal and deep sea navigation are included • A simple uniform method of interpolation for all the trigonometrical tables is used • Certain tables and data are also included which are not readily available on board ship or are only used in the examination room.

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.

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.

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.

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.
