Imray’s series of charts of the Mediterranean are comprehensive & easy-to-use sailing charts published on rip-proof, waterproof paper- ideal to be used on small tables or in cockpits. They show detailed coastline & depth information, & are constantly corrected to reflect latest information. Designed primarily for yachtsmen, they are comprehensive without being unnecessarily cluttered. Each chart contains insets showing local harbours annotated with symbols indicating what facilities can be found there (marinas, mooring & berth facilities, fuel, water, chandlers, etc.). Charts are fully updated to the latest printing date, & often include further corrections on a separate sheet. Subsequent corrections can be found on the Imray website. On this chart, depths are shown in metres. Positions referring to WGS84 Datum, such as most GPS readings, can be plotted directly onto this chart. Base cartography uses contours, several levels of colour shading, & spot measurements to indicate depth relative to Lowest Astronomical Tide, including distinct colour highlighting for tidally-covered l&. A large number of hatchings & markings are used to indicate coast types, salt flats, marshl&, reefs, etc. Compliant IALA ‘ System A’ buoys are clearly marked, & indications of other navigational aides such as light floats are given where possible. Lighthouses are clearly marked with arcs of visibility. A complex & comprehensive system of symbols is used to indicate all types of submerged obstructions, including wrecks, rocks, pipelines & cables, with depths where known. Flood tides, eddies races, ebb tide streams & other current information is given. A wide range of symbols indicate onshore features, anchorages, harbour details & other points of note. Danger areas, restricted areas & traffic zones are all shown. ...

` Vividly imagined & prodigiously researched` Helen Davies, Sunday Times, Books of the Year ` Such a rewarding read` John Preston, Daily Mail, Books of the Year ` This odd, secretive man is brought to life`, Robbie Millen, The Times, Books of the Year Maxwell Knight was a paradox. A jazz obsessive & nature enthusiast (he is the author of the definitive work on how to look after a gorilla), he is seen today as one of MI5`s greatest spymasters, a man who did more than any other to break up British fascism during the Second World War
- in spite of having once belonged to the British Fascisti himself. He was known to his agents & colleagues simply as M, & was rumoured to be part of the inspiration for the character M in the James Bond series. Knight became a legendary spymaster despite an almost total lack of qualifications. What set him apart from his peers was a mercurial ability to transform almost anyone into a fearless secret agent. He was the first in MI5 to grasp the potential of training female agents.M is about more than just one man however. In its pages, Hemming reveals for the first time in print the names & stories of seven men & women recruited by Knight, on behalf of MI5, & then asked to infiltrate the most dangerous political organizations in Britain at that time. Until now, their identities have been kept secret outside MI5. Drawn from every walk of life, they led double lives-often at great personal cost-in order to protect the country they loved. With the publication of this book, it will be possible at last to celebrate the lives of these courageous, selfless individuals. Drawing on declassified documents, private family archives & interviews with retired MI5 officers as well as the families of MI5 agents, M reveals not just the shadowy world of espionage but a brilliant, enigmatic man at its centre.

Since its first publication in France in 1969, Fernand Point`s ” Ma Gastronomie” has taken its place among the true classics of French gastronomy, alongside works of Careme, Lucien Tendret, & Escoffier. This essential volume is as celebrated for Point`s wise, witty, & provocative views on food as for his remarkable, inventive recipes-over 200 of them-carefully compiled from his handwritten notes. An undisputed creative genius of French gastronomy & founder of the legendary La Pyramide restaurant, halfway between Paris & the Riviera, Fernand Point revolutionized French cuisine
- purified it, simplified it
- building on its traditions & creating his own versions of the great classical dishes. His peers called him Le Roi & during his reign over French cuisine there were few important world celebrities & no serious gourmet who didn`t make the journey to dine at La Pyramide. His celebrated disciples, Paul Bocuse, Alain Chapel, & Jean & Pierre Troisgros, are among the world`s greatest French chefs, & his devotees include internationally acclaimed chefs Thomas Keller & Charlie Trotter. As one of his three-star disciples, Francois Bise, said, ` Point was an artist. It`s difficult to say enough about him`. In that spirit, it is not unfounded to assert that no cookbook collection is truly complete without a copy of ” Ma Gastronomie”.

The 1:50, 000 topographic map gives a more general picture of the ground features than a basic map. It shows settlements, houses, roads, cultivated areas, waterways, cutting areas, mires, rock exposures, & relief. One map sheet covers an area of 30 x 40 km & one centimetre corresponds to 500 metres on the ground. The 1:50, 000 topographic map is also an ideal complement to nautical charts as it provides useful information about the land areas adjacent to waterways. For example, all Finnish sea areas are covered by 1:50, 000 topographic map sheets. ...

Each 20K map covers one quarter of the corresponding 1:50, 000 map (with adjustments in the border & coastal areas). The maps provide all the information expected of topographic mapping at this scale & in addition have an unusually large amount of vegetation and/or land use information (different types of woodlands, gardens, orchards, heath, etc). The maps have a 1-km UTM grid, with margin ticks for latitude & longitude at intervals of 1`. Map legend & a glossary of terms used on the maps include English. Stanfords keeps as regular stock 20K maps for the World War I battlefields around the Ypres, Messines & Passchendaele, & for the area of the Battle of Waterloo.
