This major new book traces for the first time the architectural and
engineering works in the Royal Navy's shore bases at home and
overseas and the political imperatives and technologies that helped
shape them up to the First World War. Based on detailed archival
research, it concentrates on the remarkable legacy of surviving
structures. The varied requirements of the sailing navy and its
steam-driven successor are reflected in successive dockyard
remodellings and expansions. The book reveals the close links that
developed with a rapidly industrialising Britain at the end of the
eighteenth century, showing contributions of figures such as Samuel
Bentham, Thomas Telford, Henry Maudslay, the Rennies, the Jessops
and James Watt. The influence of the Royal Engineers is traced from
early beginnings in the 1700s to their major role in the dockyard
expansions from the late 1830s into the twentieth century. The
architectural development of victualling and ordnance yards, naval
hospitals, schools and coaling stations are all described, together
with their key contributions to Great Britain's long naval
supremacy. Copiously illustrated with maps, plans and photographs,
this important and lively work will appeal to naval historians,
industrial archaeologists and students of British history.
The essential guide to protecting and managing the professional
reputation of both yourself and your organization In the volatile
landscape of social media and viral news, professional reputations
can be wrecked within a matter of hours. Passivity in the face of
public criticism is often perceived as conceding guilt, while an
ill-judged response can just make things worse. But few senior
business leaders, entrepreneurs, public figure, talent managers,
in-house lawyers and even PR professionals are aware of the full
array of strategies available that can both prevent and mitigate PR
crises. In Reputation Matters, Jonathan Coad draws upon his decades
of expertise (both as one of the country's leading PR lawyers and
as a highly regarded editorial lawyer) to provide this essential
guide to protecting and managing both your professional reputation
and that of your organization. With the blurred lines between
traditional and social media and the growing predominance of
misinformation, reputations are now more valuable and vulnerable
than ever. Reputation Matters grants readers a unique insider's
insight into how the media works, teaches the best strategies for
countering any threats, and uncovers the intricacies of litigation
PR. In this engaging and essential book, Jonathan gives practical
advice on how to cultivate and secure your reputation, which is
enriched and supported by a selection of first-hand case studies
from his illustrious career.
