  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!

  You think transformation is pretty? Think again. Just like the messy goo a caterpillar goes through to become a butterfly, human transformation is equally "gooey." Rachel Burr’s story is filled with mishaps, mistakes, misadventures, and… yes, mess. But it’s not all slog. There are also triumphs and growth in Butterfly Goo as Burr takes you on a hilarious and poignant sightseeing tour of her own transformative journey. 
  With important lessons/chapter takeaways and experiential exercises for you to try, this book that's part memoir and part self-help will make you think about where your life is working and where it isn’t. Maybe you’re stuck in comfortable discomfort or searching for something, but you don’t know what it is. Maybe you want to make a change, but you’re afraid you’ll fail. Worse, maybe you think you aren’t good enough, smart enough, or just not enough, so you feel stuck. 
  As a successful executive coach and people expert, Burr has the experience you’d look for to lead you through change. But her most important credential is having confronted and survived her own fears, challenges, and reluctant decisions to emerge out the other side. 
  Don’t get us wrong: Butterfly Goo won’t create the change you’re looking for. Only you can do that. But it just might inspire you to step into the mess of your own transformative journey. After all, as Burr found out, you have to go through the goo before you can spread your wings.

  Twentieth Century Seaside...

  A nostalgic exploration of Britain's distinctive and architecturally significant seafront buildings from the 1920s to the new millennium.
  British seaside resorts enjoyed phenomenal popularity for much of the twentieth century. Told chronologically, this book is the first look at how resort architecture around the UK coast kept pace with changing fashions and the increasing competition of foreign destinations.
  Using vintage postcard images, Kathryn Ferry showcases the inherent playfulness of seaside architecture as it evolved from interwar classicism, through art deco and international modernism, to Festival of Britain-inspired mid-century style, then later to seafront tower blocks and the artificial beaches of 1970s leisure centres. Featuring a wide range of building types, Twentieth Century Seaside Architecture explores everything from beach huts and bandstands to lidos, piers, theatres, hotels and amusement arcades.
  As climate change and the soaring cost of living provoke changing attitudes to travel, Britain's seaside has witnessed renewed popularity, making now the perfect time to champion our architectural legacy of domestic tourism. Offering a compelling reassessment, Twentieth Century Seaside Architecture will appeal to fans of architecture and design who love to be beside the sea.
