With long experience behind him, John Russell's purpose is to help all yachtsmen to achieve the expertise that enables them to become yachtmasters - and any crew member may be called on to act as skipper in an emergency. His book was written in the first place to help students and instructors on the practical Course for the RYA/DoT (Offshore) Certificate, to provide them with an introduction to the course by broadening the common ground between student and instructor and by reducing the time that has to be spent in relating the art of the seaman and the navigator to that of the skipper. It is in practice the ideal introduction to all who wish to aim at 'perfect performance'. .

The railways of the United Kingdom were shouldering most of the burden of moving the vast tonnage requirements of wartime and ever more so prior to the Liberation of Europe. In 1943 the War Department introduced a 2-8-0 locomotive capable of hauling heavy freight trains, whilst at the same time was able to do so with minimum maintenance, carried out in less than ideal conditions. The Riddles WD 2-8-0 or `Austerity' locomotive was destined to be used both on mainland Europe, once the Allied Armies had gained a foothold, and in other countries where required. Over 900 of these `far from elegant' locomotives would eventually be built for war… Read More

Numerous photographs. 288 pages clean and tight. Dimensions: 23.5 x 2.5 x 29.2 cm. This work recalls an era when a train journey remained an adventure, and when the steam locomotives that made the journey possible were a source of awe and fascination. It includes a comprehensive history of Britain's railways from the groundbreaking years of the 1900s to the day in August 1968 that the fires were put out for the last time. Our railway system has always been viewed with a mixture of affection, amusement and exasperation. Yet there were periods in the 20th century when the railways were a source of pride and excitement. Many still recall when the train was their principal means of travel, whether to school or work, to visit friends and relatives, or to go on holiday. And it wasn't… Read More

Numerous photographs. 320 pages clean and tight. Country life, in every aspect, has changed more rapidly and more dramatically within living memory than at any other time in our history. This superb book reveals Just what has happened in more detail than ever before; what has vanished and what has replaced it, in cottages and gardens, country houses and estates, along the lanes and hedgerows and in the villages.

The book is illustrated with a wonderful collection of evocative, specially researched photographs - many have been gleaned from the archives of The Countryman magazine. These pictures reflect a vanished… Read More

Yesterday s California is a photographic sampler of California in another time, another way of life, another age of both working and playing. Of all the states in the Union, California perhaps has the greatest variety -- variety in land forms, in climate, in occupations, in business, industry, the arts and the people. It has a history rooted in two colorful New World traditions: the Spanish and the Mexican. It was born of the famous Franciscan mission experiment, and exploded with the Gold Rush, with statehood, and the rapid exploration of its natural resources. California is mining country; farming country; it is ship-building country,… Read More
