Global from the start : a short history of Cable & Wireless /Cable&Wireless Plc.
This item is a brief survey of the company's development from the 1860s up to to early 21st century.

This short history covers the company's development from the provision of international communications in the 19th century to the digital networks of the 21st century. Illustrations include: the Great Eastern laying the Atlantic telegraph cable in 1866; maps showing the company's cable routes in the 1920s; and a map showing Cable & Wireless locations in 1947.

Atlas : a world of maps from the British Library /Tom Harper.
"From the publication in 1595 of the first 'atlas' by Flemish cartographer Gerhard Mercator, the term has become a universally adopted title for books containing accurate, uniform, and evenly spread maps of all or some of the world. This is an atlas with a difference. Few of the maps in this book could reasonably be called 'accurate' in the modern sense and could almost certainly not be used to plan a journey. Yet this atlas can help us to travel in a way that regular atlases do not, because by looking at old maps and getting to know their stories we can be transported back to the times in which they were made.The generous, full-colour illustrations of each map in this book range from the Klencke Atlas to Hokusai's Map of China, from a 1682 pirate map of Guatemala to 20th-century cartographic postcards featuring maps of Australia. Atlas is the definitive printed showcase of the British Library's extensive and unparalleled map collection.About the Author: Tom Harper is Lead Curator of Antiquarian Maps at the British Library. His publications include the British Library exhibition catalogue Maps and the 20th Century: Drawing the Line, and A History of the Twentieth Century in 100 Maps, which he co-authored in 2014."--Provided by the publisher.

P&O Ferries : through five decades /by John Hendy, Miles Cowsill.
This book was produced to mark the 175th anniversary of the founding of P&O. P&O Ferries are a comparatively recent amalgamation of a number of separate concerns, e.g. Townsend Thoreson. The book covers the various routes operated over the years: Dover-Calais; Normandy and Iberia; the North Sea; the Irish Sea and the P&O Scottish heritage routes. The development of roll on-roll off ferries and the problem of competition from the Channel Tunnel are also covered. There are numerous colour photographs. A fleet list of P&O ferries as at October 2012 can be found at the back of the book.
