Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. 287 pages. These memoirs, suffused with humour and rude vigour, represent probably the m ost realistic, down-to-earth, and entertaining contemporary account of sea life in the age of sail. Unlike most of the sailors' memoirs of the Nelsonic navy, Ga rdner's were not written for publication but purely for the entertainment of his family and friends, and did not see publication until long after his death, so potential problems of libel did not constrain him when it came to opinions of in dividuals, high or low, in the naval service. He himself saw plenty of action an d served in a number of famous ships, not least the Victory, but what interests him most are his mess-mates and their eccentricities. The pranks, scams and amus ements that broke up the claustrophobic life of a warship's crew form a large pa rt of his narrative, and some of his stories are almost surreal in their detail, but Gardner's vision of the bawdy, drunken and often comic-opera life of the na vy rings more true than the usual Victorian image of the heroic Wooden Walls of Old England.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - A fascinating inside account of the founding, the history and the discoveries of the UK's pioneering National Institute of Oceanography.This book captures the excitement of a formative phase of UK science during and immediately following WWII. It links back to scientists working at Antarctic whaling stations and the complimentary voyages of Captain Scott's Discovery that explored the vast icy Southern Ocean, funded by a tax on whale oil. In the depths of WWII a small group of young scientists were brought together under the inspirational leadership of Dr (later Sir) George Deacon, and shortly after the end of the war, the UKís first National Institute of Oceanography was formed. The discoveries from 50 years ago underpin our modern-day science. The bookís chapters are all written and edited by NIO scientists and convey the atmosphere of work at sea in a bygone age before small computers, satellite navigation and easy communication. The book is A useful introduction for students of marine and/or environmental science. It will appeal to many scientists and the general public , to those interested in science and innovation during and after WWII and of course to many living in the Surrey who always wondered what went on in the leafy lanes that were home to NIO and its successors for almost 50 years.…
