Sinopse

Wooden Shipbuilding explores the fascinating history and mechanical engineering behind constructing wooden ships, revealing how master shipwrights transformed timber into formidable naval vessels. The book delves into the practical methods of historical ship construction, from timber selection to hull assembly, while also uncovering the underlying engineering principles that ensured seaworthiness. Readers will learn about the ingenious techniques used to create structurally sound vessels, such as how the arrangement of planks contributed to the ship's overall strength, a testament to the shipwrights' deep understanding of material properties.

 
The book progresses systematically, starting with the essential materials and tools before moving through the stages of ship construction, including framing, planking, and caulking. Archival documents, ship plans, and modern engineering analyses converge to highlight how shipwrights effectively functioned as engineers, optimizing designs for stability and performance long before formal engineering disciplines. This unique approach provides a quantitative assessment of wooden ships' structural performance, making it an invaluable resource for maritime historians, naval architects, and anyone interested in maritime history and engineering.

    Foreword by Professor Emma Smith.The more you explore the plays of Shakespeare, the more you realise how they are an interrelated network of ideas and themes - linked to his context, his audience and his understanding of the world. In Bringing Forth the Bard, Zoe Enser equips busy teachers with the core knowledge that will enable them to make links between the themes, characters, language and allusions in Shakespeare's oeuvre. Each chapter includes tips on how to bring his plays to life in the classroom, and features case studies from practising teachers in a range of contexts to illustrate how they can ensure that their students develop an appreciation of his work - moving beyond the requirements of exams and empowering them to engage in the discussion around his influence and enduring appeal.Underpinned by the author's academic enquiries on the subject, at both undergraduate and master's level, the book enables teachers to access the information they need in order to enrich their teaching beyond a single play and begin to unpick the threads of Shakespeare's work as a whole. The link between subject knowledge and pedagogical approaches runs throughout the book, focusing on the Shakespeare plays most popularly taught in the classroom and how we can enrich students' understanding of these by looking both at the links across the domain and the bigger picture his work presents.Zoe builds a detailed schema of Shakespeare's work, his world, his ideas and his influences - and offers signposts to further reading and provides an appendix which will support teachers to rapidly find references to the plays they are teaching, and the ideas related to them.Suitable for teachers of English in all phases.

    For thousands of years and to this day, there have been numerous myths and misconceptions about ancient Egypt in the minds of many around the world. Perhaps it is because of the nature of the ancient Egyptians to keep the secrets of their civilization within the minds of their priests, like the secrets of the ancient Egyptian language and  hieroglyphic writing, magical secrets, miracles of architecture,  astronomy, and other knowledge that  other nations  could not understand, and turned into mysteries.  This book comes as a serious and sincere attempt to reveal  falsehoods and refute the myths surrounding ancient Egyptian  civilization, which unfortunately turned into facts in mind of the public and some specialists both inside and outside Egypt. So, let me take you through an interesting journey to discover the secrets of Ancient Egypt and to reveal its mysteries and myths.
