A detailed topographic map from the Ordnance Survey Explorer series, covering Camborne & Perranporth (showing part of the South West Coast Path). Edition B2; Publication date August 2008 About this series: These highly detailed maps show all the administrative boundaries, settlements as small as isolated farms, the road network down to unfenced roads & country tracks, & field boundaries (hedges & drystone walls) which make navigation across the countryside much easier. Steep gradients on roads are indicated. Various landmarks, e.g. powerlines, archaeological sites, windmills, churches & lighthouses are shown & additional graphics indicate natural terrain features such as cliffs, scree, mud & vegetation variations. The contour interval is 5 metres in the lower parts of the country & 10 metres in the uplands, & spot heights are marked. Each map covers an area of 30 x 20km (i.e. approx. 19 x 12 miles), with some double-sided maps covering more, as indicated in the individual descriptions. The maps are fully GPS compatible, with the National Grid shown at 1km intervals & latitude & longitude indicated by margin ticks at 1'. The Explorer series has replaced the earlier, green-cover Pathfinder maps. The Explorer series is now complete & covers all of Engl&, Wales & Scotl&. Some sheets for popular areas like the National Parks are still branded as Outdoor Leisure (OL) maps, but are now included in this series as the cartography is the same as that in the Explorer Maps. The Explorer maps offer a substantial improvement on the Pathfinder series, with greater use of colour, larger area per map, & stronger emphasis on information for ramblers & tourists. This series is ideal for walking & other outdoor pursuits & each map shows a large amount of information for ramblers & tourists. Public rights of way are shown (except in Scotland), together with other routes with public access: National Trails & Recreational Paths, permitted paths & bridleways, & selected cycle routes. Open access land created under the Countryside & Rights of Way Act 2000 is marked. Tourist information

Includes:: caravan & camp sites, Park & Ride locations, recreation/leisure/sport centres, museums, historic buildings, English Heritage & National Trust sites, rural pubs, etc. The map legend is in English only, except for the tourist information content which is also in French & German.

Life afloat suits some people, & with a business that`s made living & working all over the English waterways possible, it suits Giles Byford & Jill Parkinson so well they feel blessed. Everything, from the circumstances of finding their first narrowboat to rejecting academia, seems to bring rewards; so they`re not surprised that the same strange magic appears to be working its charm when they set about building Hawthorn, the barge they intend to spend the rest of their lives exploring Europe on. The future`s promising & wonderful. & then, quite suddenly, everything falls apart. Reedbound is largely about what followed: how the terrifying voyage across the Irish Sea became an act of faith that contrasted with a gentle westward wander along an empty canal to the River Shannon & the heart of Ireland`s waterways. & how, despite feeling vulnerable & nervous, they were determined the best way to recover their confidence in life afloat was to avoid doing any research & simply trust that all would be well. This unusual approach delivered constant surprises, adventures, unexpected spaces & the company of other misfits. Giles began to write
- initially a widely read blog, & then articles for waterways magazines
- & Jill finally had time to explore her interest in art; the success of which can be seen in the numerous illustrations that are a feature of Reedbound. Reedbound compares & contrasts two inland waterway systems
- England & Ireland
- & two boating cultures. It`s about Giles & Jill`s approach to travel & life, which is as rare as taking a barge across the Irish Sea. It`s also about the delight of experiencing the Irish landscape & culture through naive but willing eyes.

Ship management has constantly had to evolve to take into account the advancements in technology as well as the demands of the shipping industry. Having internet access & email on board ship has meant that the ship manager has to possess certain sets of skills to function effectively in the post, including computer literacy. The emergence of large multi-national ship management companies has also changed how business is conducted & this is turn means that the ship manager & tiers of management within the organization have had to evolve to cope with the demands of working with a multi-national workforce. Furthermore, since the mid-1980s there has been an ever expanding raft of legislation that is more restrictive for companies to meet, & a shrinking of profit margins has seen a shift in how companies are required to operate to survive. This book addresses the demands of 21st century ship management with the focus of the book as much about the people who manage ships as about the theory & practice of ship management. ...
