Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. One of a new series of concise reference books intended to appeal to both the specialist and more general markets. Heavily illustrated and visually appealing. Keenly priced for maximum market penetration This concise reference book describes the development of European and North American sailing rigs and defines and explains all the different forms, both for square rig and fore-and-aft. It is intended as a first stop for anyone needing to understand and identify all the different arrangements and concentrates on the classification of rigs and their variations rather than the countless ship types that were driven by the different rigs. The book is arranged by rig type - full-rigged ship, barque, barquentine, brig, brigantine, schooner, ketch yawl etc, and all their derivatives - and each of them is illustrated by specially-commissioned scale drawings. These depict the varieties of each type and then, in greater detail, show particular examples of well-known or significant ships. The concise text defines and introduces each type and explains its history and its application. There are also a number of contemporary photographs, and an illustrated glossary of masts, spars and sails defines all their separate parts. By the nineteenth century a varied and complex array of rigs had developed to drive a whole range of hull shapes under widely different conditions; Sailing Rigs will explain all this diversity to the non- specialist while at the same time offering a valuable reference source to the modelmaker as well as the knowledgeable devotee of the sailing ship. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.…

Jenny Bennett is an experienced sailing journalist specializing in the traditional boat world and recently edited Sailing Rigs. She had worked for Wooden Boat magazine in the U.S. and for Classic Boat magazine in the U.K. She lives in England and teaches traditional sail techniques at an American school each summer. Over the past generation, the building of accurate replicas of ships from the distant past has radically changed perceptions of our ancestors' sailing and voyaging. In this beautifully illustrated book, some of the world's leading authorities look at individual replicas and discuss what they have taught us. This fascinating work offers the most accessible view yet as to how the ships of our seafaring forbears affected the manner in which they traded, fought, and explored. Part A of the book is dedicated to ancient and medieval ships. The Sea Stallion of Glendalough for example, built in Roskilde Denmark and described by Rikke Johansen, is a good example of a ship serving several purposes. At Roskilde, over forty years of experience with Viking ship replicas has culminated In the construction of the Sea Stallion which must have cost a fortune, just like with the previous ships they built here. It was sailed to Dublin from Roskilde and back in 2008-09 which raised a lot of attention, serving several purposes at once (research, tourism, nationalism, nostalgia to name just a few). Some see this ship and its travels as the finale, the crown on the work at Roskilde, either leading to a slower phase in research and reconstruction (and a generation shift) or to an ending. It is unclear what the future will bring, but it will surely involve building and sailing. Part B of the book discusses ships of the Age of Discovery 1600-1750. One of the articles is about Bezaisen, Japan's coastal sailing traders. These ships date to an era when Japan was looking inward: foreign travel was banned and contact with foreigners strictly controlled. Ships were needed however for traveling within Japan's inland waters. The Bezaisen ships were well seaworthy as long as they did not sail in deep water. Compared to Japan's earlier âinternational trading ships' with many ideas taken from other seafaring nations, Bezaisen are much more traditionally influenced. Since 1990, four replica ships like this have been constructed following the thought that if not now, when? As the last generation of shipwrights able to construct such wooden ships was dying out. The four ships are showcased in museums as parts of the story of the Edo Era, from money made available from infrastructural tourism projects. No good drawings exist and archaeological sources are not even mentioned. To a limited level, the replica ships are used to learn more about how such ships might have been like and how they sailed. The master shipwright behind all four ships regarded his own experience as just another link in a chain of craftsmen. The publisher and the editor have succeeded to turn the individual articles into a complete and attractive narrative, a kind of nice series of examples, promoting replica ship building and sailing. Most of these articles read like adventure stories. Present day sailors will be happy to read this attractively designed book with a multitude of pictures. For historians and archaeologists, this is a nice introduction into the subject. A close reader will see n.…

More than 1.7 million copies have been sold, thanks to its universal message of aging as a natural gift of life. Winner of the American Booksellers Book of the Year Honors Award (1991), and two Benjamin Franklin Awards: for design and content, literature (1988), and for excellence and innovation in marketing, literature (1992), When I Am an Old Woman I Shall Wear Purple has been applauded for its honest and inspiring approach to the much neglected topic of aging. When I Am an Old Woman I Shall Wear Purple has created a network of support and encouragement: the sixty-plus men and women whose work is included, the readers who have taken the time to share how the book has touched their lives, and the booksellers who have so graciously recommended it to buyers. Stories and poems such as Warning, Like Mother, Like Daughter, Love at Fifty, Near Places, Far Places, and Dear Paul Newman tell of the endearing moments of joy -- and passion -- to be found in the rich and varied world of midlife and beyond. This award-winning anthology has earned a word-of-mouth popularity because, as the Los Angeles Times said, the time is ripe for such a message. ; Contents: Warning / Jenny Joseph -- Sitty Victory / Vicky Salloum -- Grandma sits down / Rick Kempa -- Aunt Marie at 99 / Tom Benediktsson -- Here, take my words / Karen Brodine -- The trouble was meals / Elizabeth Bennett -- Like mother, like daughter / Susan S.
