The first career of Robert Sweet (1783-1835) was as a gardener in
private employment and as a nurseryman. He turned in 1826 to
botanical writing, having already published Hortus suburbanus
Londinensis (1818), and the first of the five-volume Geraniaceae
(1820-30). The first edition of this work was published in 1826,
and this revised second edition in 1830. Sweet uses Jussieu's
'natural' system of classification, but concedes that 'we still
consider the addition of the Linnaean classes and orders, of great
use, as they are so readily attained by the young Botanist'. He
provides nine two-column closely packed pages of source works in
which images of the plants cited in this unillustrated work can be
found, and which also testify to the breadth of his own research in
producing a reference work which is comprehensive as a record of
plants then growing and flowering in British gardens.
From the National Education Officer of the U.S. Power Squadrons,
here is the operator's manual that should come with every boater's
GPS receiver or chart plotter. About the BookGPS for Mariners was
immediately well received by nautical book buyers because it took
the mystery out of what was, in 2003, still a somewhat mysterious
black box. Sales of the book have been strong ever since--through
the U.S. Power Squadrons and the U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary as well
as through bookstores and marine stores.In the intervening six
years, however, GPS has achieved almost universal acceptance. No
one needs to be told in detail how the system works or why it is
reliable anymore. Boaters today accept GPS as the ultimate
navigation tool-they just want to know how to use it.At the same
time, even the most basic GPS receivers are much more full-featured
now than six years ago. It's hard to find a new GPS receiver--even
a handheld unit--that doesn't have resident charts or maps, for
example. And many boaters now buy chart plotters with integral
GPS--and the distinction between a GPS receiver and a full-featured
chart plotter has become increasingly blurred. About the only thing
that hasn't changed is that the manual that comes with a new GPS
receiver or chart plotter is as confusing, fragmented, and
incomplete as ever, and in all likelihood never even mentions
nautical applications because GPS manufacturers cater to the larger
nonboating markets.In response to these trends, the second edition
of GPS for Mariners will have much less GPS tech-talk and
theory--no sense preaching to the converted-and more instead on
getting the most out of today's more advanced and powerful units.
And the second edition will be presented in full color to do
maximum justice to the many screen shots and electronic chart shots
the book will feature, thus faithfully replicating the full-color
screens of most of today's GPS receivers and chart
plotters.Revamped coverage and emphasis: Boaters no longer need to
be told what GPS is. They just want to know what it will do for
them and how to use it. Therefore this new edition eliminates
theory and adds brand-new content on the features and capabilities
of new GPS receivers and chart plotters.Now in full color: Because
marine GPS receivers and chart plotters have made the transition to
color displays since the first edition was published, so has the
book. The second edition will be printed entirely in color, the
better to show the many features of GPS and chart
plotters.Distinctive author qualifications: Bob Sweet is not only a
successful boating book author but also the National Education
Officer of the U.S. Power Squadrons, America's largest non-profit
boating organization and boating educator.The manual that should
have come with your GPS or chartplotter but didn't. Clear, concise
advice on how to install and initialize the unit, how to use its
various features, and how to interpret what it tells you.Color
screen shots of the displays take the mystery out of
interpretation. Learn basic and advanced functions. Use the device
for advance route planning as well as en-route navigation.Become an
informed GPS buyer as well as an informed GPS user.Learn the ins
and outs of navigation software Interface your GPS with a PC,
radar, or autopilot.
