A substantial examination of war at sea through the ages
On a planet covered with water it is inevitable that the oceans and seas would become great highways of transport and trade and great battlegrounds as nations resolved their animosities and sought to expand their boundaries. Conflict at sea is nearly as old as great conflict upon land and indeed it would be the most significant development in warfare until man took to the skies during the Great War. This interesting book charts the progress of war at sea from those earliest times. Beginning with the legendary defeat of the Persians by the Greeks at Salamis in 480 B. C this history charts naval battles through the ancient period to Actium in 31 B. C and Svold Island in A. D 1000. Sluys in 1340 is examined followed by the defeat of the Ottoman Turks at Lepanto in 1571 and the destruction of Spanish aspirations to invade Elizabethan England with their great Armada in 1588. As the age of sail progress's the reader is guided through 'The Battle off the Gunfleet' in 1666, Saint's Passage, 1782 and the monumental conflict off Cape Trafalgar that was Nelson's finest and final hour. The modern age concerns Lisa, 1866, Yalu, 1894, Santiago de Cuba, 1898 and finally the crushing of the Imperial Russian fleet by the Japanese at Tsu-Shima, 1905. From the age of the galley and hearts of oak to the ironclad battle steamer here is the history of for man's battles for dominance of the waves. Includes diagrams and battle plans.

Coaching and mentoring are recognised as key skills to support the development of people in the workplace and in their careers. Leading edge research by Dr Richard Hale and Eileen Hutchinson has shown that when applied effectively coaching and mentoring can make a real difference and can support lasting changes in behaviour. However becoming an effective coach or mentor is not simply about applying a set of techniques or following a prescriptive process. It means forming supportive relationships and understanding the culture and values of others at a deeper level. This is the first in the Insights series of development workbooks for those operating as a coach or mentor and for consultants and trainers alike. Understanding Coaching And Mentoring will help you differentiate between coaching and mentoring and understand how to maximise the benefits at individual and organisational levels. Practical tools are balanced with well grounded research evidence ensuring this publication can be used to support personal and group learning programmes. Indeed the workbook is mapped to the Institute of Leadership & Management (ILM) criteria for coaching and mentoring. The authors provide a potent partnership with Dr Richard Hale having completed a practitioner doctorate focused on the dynamics of mentoring relationships and Eileen Hutchinson having achieved success applying coaching and NLP programmes to both the Corporate and Health Care sector, and specalising in the delivery of ILM accredited coaching and mentoring programmes.
