Amphibious assault Falklands : the battle of San Carlos Water The author was in charge of the amphibious operations in the Falklands War. He describes some of the problems involved in recreating a largely abandoned operational technique in an ad-hoc fashion. During the time it took to 'go south' some sense of order was imposed and a not very well defined command structure evolved. The author tells how San Carlos Water was chosen for the assault and subsequent inshore operations. Contains extensive black and white photographs. 1996 • BOOK • 1 copy available. 623.828.2(42)

Ships of the White Star Line / Richard de Kerbrech. A detailed and comprehensive history of the eighty-nine ships of the White Star Line, including technical specifications and accounts of voyages. From the Oceanic in 1871 through the flagships of trans-Atlantic travel, the Britannic and Olympic, to Georgic (II) in 1932, the book traces the history of the fleet and its relationship with the shipbuilder Harland & Wolff. The financial pressures of the Depression in the 1930s forced the merger of White Star with Cunard.

Seaforth world naval review 2017 / editor, Conrad Waters. "This annual has an established reputation as an authoritative but affordable summary of all that has happened in the naval world in the previous twelve months. It combines regional surveys with one-off major articles on noteworthy new ships and other important developments. Besides the latest warship projects, it also looks at wider issues of importance to navies, such as aviation and electronics, and calls on expertise from around the globe to give a balanced picture of what is going on and to interpret its significance. Features of this edition include an in-depth analysis of the Royal Netherlands Navy, while Significant Ships will cover the USN's radical new Zumwalt class destroyers, the Republic of Korea's amphibious assault ship Dokdo, and the JMSDF's Akizuki class destroyers, among others. There are also technological reviews dealing with naval aviation by David Hobbs (with a focus on the present state of the RN's Fleet Air Arm), while Norman Friedman surveys naval surface-to-surface missiles. The World Naval Review is intended to make interesting reading as well as providing authoritative reference, so there is a strong visual emphasis, including specially commissioned drawings and the most up-to-date photographs and artists' impressions. For anyone with an interest in contemporary naval affairs, whether an enthusiast or a defence professional, this annual has become required reading."--Provided by the publisher. 2016. • BOOK • 1 copy available. 355.353

Are you sitting comfortably? : the book jackets of Edward Bawden /with an essay by Peyton Skipwith and captions by James Russell. "Who else but Edward Bawden (1903-1989) could have illustrated East Coasting, a charming little collection of travel essays published by the London and North Eastern Railway in 1930? Here, Bawden's comic genius found full expression. The title page alone boasts such quirky seaside-themed illustrations as a tent flapping open in a gust of wind, revealing the bather changing within, and a giant lobster snatching an old lady from her bath chair while holding a top hat in its free claw. East Coasting is among more than 100 titles featured in this new volume on the book jackets and selected illustrations of Bawden, who worked with many of the leading publishers of the 20th century."--Provided by the publisher. 2018. • FOLIO • 1 copy available. 7.038.5BAWDEN

Boudin at Trouville / Vivien Hamilton. French painter Eugene Boudin (1824-1898) was an important precursor of Impressionism. He believed that "everything painted directly and on the spot has a strength, a vigour, a vivacity of touch that can never be attained in the studio", and spent his summers painting outside directly from nature and his winters finishing his paintings in his studio in Paris. Born in the port of Honfleur, the sea and beach scenes of the northern French coast provide the subject matter and inspiration for much of his work. This book was published in connection with exhibitions held at The Burrell Collection, Glasgow, and the Courtauld Insititute, London, between November 1992 and May 1993. Chapters cover subjects such as "Beach Scenes", "Jetties", "The Port", "The Fishmarket", and "Washerwomen" and deal with Boudin's modernity and the wider art history of Normandy. 1992. • BOOK • 1 copy available. 7BOUDIN

Anatomy of the lighthouse "This fascinating book examines lighthouses inside and out, from the primitive beacon and the fabled Pharos of the ancient world to the "Texas towers" of modern times. It includes a survey of the meteorological and coastal-geographical conditions that engendered the original need for lighthouses at treacherous sites, as well as the causes of the hazards, including violent hurricanes and slow, inexorable erosion, that pose a constant threat to the continuing existence of today's aids to navigation. The anatomy of the different types of lighthouse that evolved in response to the challenges thrown up by specific locations are explained and examined, from onshore masonry and cast-iron towers to the submerged screwpile and caisson structures that finally enabled offshore lighthouse construction, both out at sea and within navigable inland waterways."--Provided by the publisher. 2001 • FOLIO • 1 copy available. 627.715
