Lying off the south-western tip of Mull, the island of Iona has huge significance as the first important centre of Christianity in Scotl&. But the Abbey itself is built upon rocks that tell of events of much greater antiquity: the Lewisian gneisses of western Iona are some of the oldest rocks in the world. Alan Mc Kirdy explores the fascinating geology of the area
- in particular the eruption of two major volcanoes around 60 million years ago whose magma chambers formed the spectacular hills & glens of the Ardnamurchan peninsula & Glen More on Mull; & the Ice Age, when glaciers ripped away much of the upper part of the two volcanoes & sandpapered the landscape to create the rounded contours we see today.

Mull, Iona & Staffa is Malcolm Mac Gregor's second book of landscape photography in Scotl&. Here he has travelled throughout these three islands in pursuit of Hebridean light. Conscious that these islands are not an appendage to the western highlands of Scotl&, but rather command their seaborne approaches, he has sought through a photographic journey to reveal their uniqueness & special qualities. His excursions have taken him from Fingal's Cave on Staffa to St. Columba's landing place on Iona. On Mull he has ventured from the high tops around Ben More to the desolate Ardmeanach peninsula. The photographs in this book cover mountains, hills, coastline, rivers & isolated gems such as waterfalls & frozen hill lochs. in addition he has photographed churches, castles, ancient graveyards, fishing vessels, celtic crosses, standing stones & remnants of a bygone age bringing a fresh perspective to these renowned islands. The accompanying text weaves the landscape into the life, history & some of the legends that continue today. It also covers some of the lesser known aspects & viewpoints of the islands revealing why visitors & pilgrims return here to encounter unique experiences both visually & of a spiritual nature. ...

In the Angler`s Rest, drinking hot scotch & lemon, sits one of Wodehouse`s greatest raconteurs. Mr Mulliner, his vivid imagination lubricated by Miss Postlethwaite the barmaid, has fabulous stories to tell of the extraordinary behaviour of his far-flung family: there`s Cyril, the timid interior designer, who finds himself drunkenly playing `this little piggy` with his beloved`s formidable & angry mother`s toes
- how can that possibly end well?! & then there`s Wilfred, who lights on the formula for Buck-U-Uppo, a tonic given to elephants to enable them to face tigers with the necessary nonchalance... Add one of the best Jeeves & Wooster stories & you`ve got a medley of Wodehouse delights in which lunacy & comic exuberance reign supreme.

This is an A-Z of seamanship skills for multihull sailors. There are many textbooks on the market which detail general seamanship principles. This is not one of them. Multihull Seamanship is about sea-going catamarans & trimarans & the skills needed to understand & enjoy them to their utmost. Both racing & cruising yachts are catered for, as are trailer-able multihulls. Seamanship is not a black & white skill. It is an evolution of knowledge; a building of information through experiment, thought & experience. There is no definitive word on an evolving skill. Multihull Seamanship started as Dr Gavin Le Sueur’s personal index of ‘how-to’s. It has grown through experience & others sharing their knowledge. It should be on the bookshelf of every catamaran & trimaran. This book is for people who are already multihull sailors, or for those who are contemplating multihull sailing. It has served this community for over 20 years & this second edition is fully updated. It is illustrated with delightful line drawings by Nigel Allison. ...
