Lifeboats occupy a particular place in people`s hearts as unpaid volunteers regularly take to their boats often in extremely adverse conditions to rescue others from the sea. The stories that go with lifeboats & their crews are those of courage, sacrifice, community & our coastline. No matter if one is on holiday by the coast, or living inl&, we are always aware of the work these brave crews do, & also aware of the tremendous affection the RNLI has throughout the whole of the British Isles. An island race appreciates those who risk their lives continually to help those endangered at sea. May-Day! May-Day! showcases the work, over many years, that the RNLI crews have undertaken, using the technology & training of their time to go out into dangerous waters to rescue people. It contains a great deal of useful/technical information to give the reader all the background information to the science of saving lives at sea. The RNLI is close to the hearts of the British public, who want to know more about their work today, but also historically how they have evolved. With archive material, first-person interviews of station commanders, rescuers, etc. plus scientific illustrations & maps, this book will be the first to bring together the history & technology, people & crews, triumphs & disasters of the RNLI together in one book. ...

Mayfair is named after the annual fortnight-long May Fair that took place on the site that is Shepherd Market today. Until 1686, the May Fair was held in Haymarket, & after 1764, it moved to Fair Field in Bow because the well-to-do residents of the area felt the fair lowered the tone of the neighbourhood. The district is now mainly commercial, with many offices in converted houses & new buildings, including major corporate headquarters, a concentration of hedge funds, real estate businesses & many different embassy offices, namely the U.S.`s large office taking up all the west side of Grosvenor Square. Rents are among the highest in London & the world. There remains a substantial quantity of residential property as well as some exclusive shopping & London`s largest concentration of luxury hotels. The renown & prestige of Mayfair could have grown in the popular mind because it is the most expensive property on the British Monopoly board set. ...
