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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Over the years, the pilot has been extended and it now provides
information about tides, dangers, harbours and anchorages from
Liverpool (marina) to Aberdovey (the same waters covered by Imray's
2700 chart pack), plus the author's own chart graphics. This fully
updated, tenth edition is spiral-bound for easy cockpit use, full
colour, chart graphics, aerial views (courtesy of Google Earth) and
nearly 100 original photos. It also makes reference to the most
noteworthy event in recent years- the wholesale destruction of
Holyhead Marina by Storm Emma in March 2018. Ralph Morris learned
his way around Anglesey the hard way - in a day boat with a single
chart and a compass which one day chose to fail in fog. That's not
the only thing which prompted the decision to write this pilot,
though- the prime mover was the increasing scarcity of Henry
Glazebrook's 'Anglesey & North Wales Coast Pilot', which got
him out of many tight corners. The detail and precision of
Glazebrook's "Anglesey & North Wales Coast Pilot" is legendary
and, through this guide, the author hopes to maintain its
accessibility to all yachties sailing these waters.

Golfe de Fos. The chart specification has been improved to show
coloured light flashes. There has been general updating throughout.
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.
Under his authorship, this edition has been restructured to reflect
the changing nature of passages across the North Sea. As well as a
consideration of the various Traffic Separation Schemes, routes
take into account the many new offshore windfarms and oil and gas
extraction platforms. As its name suggests, the emphasis of this
pilot is on the passage routes, whether taking a more direct line
between the UK and the Continent or incorporating hops along the
East Coast and the adjacent coasts of France, Belgium and Holland.
Pilotage is included for a selection of key ports. Updated plans
and numerous new photographs help to illustrate the key features to
help guide you across this challenging yet rewarding stretch of
water.
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.
Coverage has been updated and expanded from specific routes to a
comprehensive sequence of ports and anchorages along each area of
coast, with introductory information about places of interest to
visit ashore. Author Nicholas Hill cruised the region extensively
for many years and has enriched the text with new photographs
throughout. Plans include up to date hydrographic data for both
German and Danish waters. This cruising guide is an ideal companion
for those who plan to explore the more challenging, shifting
coastline of the North Sea and the comparatively gentle and
intricate indentations and archipelagos in the entrance to the
Baltic. It is also a useful resource for anyone on a more direct
passage through to the Baltic Sea proper.
