Summary

Boat Facts explores the profound impact of maritime vessels on civilization, tracing their evolution from simple canoes to advanced cruise ships and submarines. Boats have been pivotal in facilitating global trade, exploration, and warfare, significantly influencing cultural exchange and technological innovation.

Early boat builders displayed remarkable ingenuity, evident in vessels like Egyptian feluccas and Viking longships, showcasing the scientific principles of buoyancy and hull design.

The book investigates boats' crucial role in the Age of Exploration, particularly vessels like the caravel and galleon, which enabled European powers to establish global trade routes. These voyages profoundly affected cultural exchange, resource distribution, and geopolitical power dynamics.

Modern boat technology, including the design and construction of large cruise ships and submarines, presents complex engineering challenges. By examining archaeological findings, historical records, and engineering reports, Boat Facts offers fresh insights into the evolution of boat technology.

The book progresses chronologically, starting with ancient watercraft, moving through the Age of Exploration, and concluding with modern maritime engineering, recognizing the limitations of covering every single boat ever made and instead focuses on representative examples. This comprehensive approach provides a deeper appreciation for the ingenuity and innovation that have shaped the maritime world.

No Excuses - Turning around one...

Alison Colwell

"Eye-popping" – Sunday Times
"Brilliant" – Iain Dale
***
An unputdownable true account of how a tenacious head teacher led one of the most challenging schools in the country to excellence.
No Excuses charts an extraordinary principal's journey from the moment she took over at a failing secondary school in a deprived area, where less than a quarter of children attained five or more A*–C GCSEs, and how she set about the gruelling task of transforming its reputation using her zero-tolerance, tough-love approach.
Armed only with a wicked sense of humour, fearless energy and a powerful vision, Alison Colwell put in place a stringent set of rules, including a strict uniform policy and a complete ban on mobile phones, provoking resistance and hostility from some parents, the wider community and on social media.
This is the darkly funny, moving story of how, together, teachers and their – often troubled – pupils rebuilt a school and community, with an inspirational head at the helm.
Charming, touching and full of brilliant leadership advice, this is the diary of the woman the Daily Mail labelled Britain's strictest head teacher.
