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.
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.
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.
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.
Chart 100 shows the main trend of depth contours, limits of ice,
magnetic variations and keys routes as identified by Donald M.
Street Jr. In the enclosed booklet are pilot charts showing winds,
currents and wave height frequencies with accompanying notes on
favourable route timings and hurricane risk. Chart 100 is an
important companion for Atlantic yachtsmen on passage and an
excellent source of planning information.
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.

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.
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.
The second edition of this well-received title from the Royal
Cruising Club Pilotage Foundation covers the entire Mediterranean
mainland coast of Spain from Gibraltar to the French border. This
is the only detailed pilot for the Spanish Mediterranean coast
running up from Gibraltar to the border with France. It covers a
varied cruising area that includes the mountain-backed Costas del
and Sol and Blanca, the expansive lagoon of the Mar Menor, the
low-lying Ebro delta and the rugged Costa Brava. In between are
several great cities including Malaga, Valencia, Tarragona and
Barcelona, the Catalan capital. The volume opens with Gibraltar and
La Linea. With Imray charts for the same coast, Mediterranean Spain
provides all the data necessary for anyone based in Spain,
transiting to and from areas further East or the Balearics, or just
exploring this rich and varied coast and its hinterland. The
coverage has been revised with the text updated, new plans added
and other plan updates based on the latest information. This
edition has been enhanced by the addition of over 100 aerial
photographs showing coastline and harbour approaches.
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.
It also covers the 'jumping off' harbours on south side of the
Pentland Firth and the mainland coast of Scotland between Inverness
and Cape Wrath. The guide has been fully updated throughout. In the
same style as the other Clyde Cruising Club Sailing directions
published under the Imray imprint. The section on the north coast
of Scotland draws on work previously published from Martin
Lawrence.
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.

applicable. The full list of recently deployed AIS transmitters are
shown across the chart, as is the new marina in Rada di Salerno.
It includes coverage of the Lofoten and Vesterålen islands, the
Arctic archipelago of Svalbard and the remote volcanic island of
Jan Mayen. Author Judy Lomax continues to sail this beguiling
coastline of majestic fjords and multiple islands and uses her
extensive network of contacts, built up over more than 30 years, to
help monitor changes in the region. This fourth edition
incorporates numerous updates to her previous work and expands on
the detail for some areas such as the Oslo Fjord and the Telemark
Canal. There is a wealth of new photographs and revised Imray plans
throughout. Whether you are on a private vessel or one of the many
ships cruising this stunningly beautiful region, Norway is a
trusted and proven companion. "Any yachtsman even contemplating a
visit to this loveliest of cruising areas could be considered
negligent if he did not buy this book". - RHR, Cruising "...The
author finds it difficult to avoid superlatives when talking about
Norwegian scenery. I find it equally difficult to avoid
superlatives when talking about this book. I am impressed. Also
most Norwegians may learn a lot of facts from this excellent book.
This will remain a classic, and will come in new editions in the
foreseeable future..." Customer feedback “For anyone sailing in
Norwegian waters this book is an absolute must. It is the perfect
example of a truly excellent pilot from which practically nothing
can be found missing.” Christine Holroyd, Cruising Association
magazine.
Successor to Henry Irving's long-established guide to the nooks and
crannies of this fascinating corner of the east coast of England,
this new title has extended coverage under the authorship of
retired harbourmaster and local cruising sailor Peter Harvey. Some
choose to bypass this beautiful section of coast and its
extraordinary natural habitats, but this cruising guide gives
inspiration to anyone who wishes to explore the many shallow creeks
and deeper historic harbours of Norfolk, Lincolnshire and the
Humber. With thoroughly updated text and plans and new photographs
throughout, The Wash and Humber remains an essential companion to
this interesting and rewarding section of our coastline.
