  For all those who love boats, their 'lines' are an essential element in the appreciation of individual craft. But what are these lines and how are they created? This book introduces the reader to the key principles of yacht design in a straightforward and understandable manner, allowing them to be aware of the elements and processes involved. Most of the complex maths has been replaced with simple rules of thumb. Any boat owner will benefit from understanding the characteristics of boat design which will help them if they want to modify the hull, rig, deck layout or accommodation. It will be equally useful to boat buyers who want to ask questions like: "How will she sail?"; "How much will she cost?"; "How easy is it to change things?" and "How can I reduce or increase sail area without upsetting the balance?" Boat owners and buyers will be able to feel more confident when talking to designers and boatbuilders about their current or future boat. While novice boat designers can start their journey with this book, giving them a good foundation whether they want to use pencil and paper or Computer-Aided Design. So, if you are any of the above, or simply have an interest in yacht design, this is the book for you!

  Safety and Disaster Management -...

  In the complex ecosystem of urban environments, the twin imperatives of safety and resilience represent some of the most fundamental challenges facing modern cities. As urban populations grow and densify, the vulnerability of metropolitan regions to both human-made threats and natural disasters intensifies, creating unprecedented challenges for governance, planning, and community response. This comprehensive exploration delves into the multifaceted domains of Urban Crime and Safety, Urban Disaster Management, and City Resilience—examining how cities develop systems, strategies, and social infrastructures to protect their inhabitants from harm while building capacity to withstand, recover from, and adapt to catastrophic events. 
  The narrative of urban safety and disaster response transcends technical systems; it encompasses the intricate relationships between built environments, social dynamics, institutional preparedness, and community cohesion that collectively determine how effectively cities can protect their populations. By examining the complex intersections of crime prevention through environmental design, comprehensive disaster risk reduction frameworks, and holistic approaches to urban resilience, this book illuminates how cities are evolving from passive settings where hazards occur to active agents of protection and adaptation. Readers will journey through diverse urban contexts—from crime prevention strategies in high-density neighborhoods to disaster management systems in seismically active regions and resilience-building initiatives in climate-vulnerable coastal cities—discovering how safety and security emerge not merely from technological solutions, but from integrated approaches that strengthen social connections, institutional capabilities, and physical infrastructure simultaneously.
