Ship brings together 360 of the most celebrated ships in history & fiction in one stylishly produced volume. Each has its unique tale to tell, the dramatic stories immortalised in evocative artworks or captured in startling photography. Themes include exploration & scientific discovery; mutiny & piracy; shipwreck, cannibalism & survival. Ships that excelled in battle or that were lost in devastating circumstances are represented, along with those that heralded revolutionary developments in maritime or naval architecture
- perhaps the first of their kind; or simply larger, stronger, more powerful, or faster than ever before. International in scope, the book uses a signature image of each ship as a starting point, with 250 words of text to outline the unique event that merits the ship`s inclusion & full vessel specifications. Experts in the fields of sailing warships, battleships, ancient & medieval vessels, expeditionary ships, liners & famous literary ships have all contributed to a remarkable volume that is both a scholarly achievement & a visual marvel.

For twenty years, Ireland`s economic miracle was supposed to be the envy of the world. Low taxes, light regulation & an `anything goes` attitude seemed to have created boundless prosperity. & then, as in Icel&, the glittering palaces vanished in the heat of the global financial meltdown. For years, those with economic power had been investing in a gigantic property bubble. In ” Ship of Fools”, Fintan O` Toole tells the story of this dizzying rise & sickening fall. Ireland may have had a tiger economy, but those in charge of it had not lost their taste for sweetheart deals, back-handers & bribery. This is the essential analysis of Ireland`s economic suicide. ...

This charming little handbook was first published in the 1950s as an aid for stewards entering the Merchant Navy. It contained notes on the necessary etiquette & skills required to serve passengers on the great ocean liners of the day, whether in first class or the emerging tourist class. Packed with all sorts of fascinating facts, tips & hints & supported by diagrammatic drawings of table settings from breakfast to dinner, this will appeal not only to former ship stewards reminiscing on days gone by, but also to anyone who is part of the burgeoning cruise industry, where people can still enjoy this level of service. Cookery historians will also find much of interest in the menus of the time that are listed together with the handy glossary of French terms at the back of the book. Finally, this is also the book for anyone who ever wondered how to get a drinking glass clean & smudge free: ' Glasses should be washed in warm water, rinsed in cold, dried with a linen cloth (linen does not leave fluff on the glass in the same way as cotton).' or correctly uncork & serve a bottle of champagne. Its nostalgic impact is further reinforced by the inclusion of the adverts that appeared in the first edition, from Sun-Pat peanuts to Old Charlie Rum. ...

In ` Vers Une Architecture`, published in the mid 1920s, Le Corbusier wrote about the inspiring qualities of the external design forms of Cunard`s Aquitania. Since then nautical design inspired a great deal of innovative architecture on terra firma. Simultaneously, the 1925 Exposition des Arts Decoratifs made a broad range of eclectic modern styles fashionable
- particularly in the commerical world, whereas Modernism with a capital M, already the design aesthetic of the pre-Stalinist Soviet Union, was associated with social reform, internationalism & a Marxist ideology. In passenger ship design, however, the picture was complicated by a variety of factors. According to Orwell, ships were seen to represent utopian visions of future paradises
- & so represented the ideals of Modernism perhaps more effectively than any structure on dry land ever could. On the other hand they were equally powerful statements of imperialism & of commercial pride. This book will examine the development of the Modern Movement in passenger ship architecture in the twentieth century, ranging from small excursion vessels to liners, cruise ships, ferries, &, where necessary, freight vessels.
