Beschreibung

British Naval Expansion explores how a small island nation rose to dominate global maritime affairs for centuries. The book argues that British naval power stemmed not just from battles won, but from sustained investments in organizational efficiency, logistical capabilities, and technological innovation. For instance, the ability to maintain dockyards and provision ships across vast distances was crucial to projecting power worldwide. Furthermore, the British Navy consistently sought a technological edge, influencing shipbuilding and maritime practices globally through innovations in weaponry and navigation. The book delves into the evolution of naval administration, stressing the complex networks needed to sustain a global fleet. It examines everything from personnel management to the roles of the Admiralty and Navy Board. The study also investigates technological advancements, like ship design, that transformed naval warfare. This perspective moves beyond simple battle narratives to provide a detailed analysis of the factors enabling British naval dominance.

 
Structured to provide a thorough exploration, the book first examines the establishment of a centrally controlled naval force. It then addresses the logistical challenges of maintaining a global presence, followed by an analysis of naval technology's evolution. The concluding section examines the social, political, and economic consequences of British naval dominance, offering a balanced account of its contributions and drawbacks.

    Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a therapeutic approach that has garnered widespread recognition for its effectiveness in treating trauma, particularly post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Developed by Francine Shapiro in the late 1980s, EMDR is founded on the concept that distressing memories can become “stuck” in the brain, leading to emotional and psychological difficulties. By using bilateral stimulation—usually in the form of guided eye movements—EMDR aims to facilitate the processing of these memories, enabling individuals to integrate them in a way that reduces emotional distress. 
    At its core, EMDR is grounded in the understanding that trauma can impair the brain's natural processing abilities. When a traumatic event occurs, the brain’s memory systems may not fully encode the memory, leaving the experience fragmented and unresolved. As a result, individuals may experience intrusive thoughts, flashbacks, and heightened emotional responses associated with the unresolved trauma. EMDR aims to "unstick" these memories and allow the brain to reprocess them, turning them from vivid, emotionally charged experiences into less distressing memories that can be stored in a more adaptive manner. 
    The key to EMDR's effectiveness lies in its use of bilateral stimulation. During the therapy session, the client follows the therapist’s fingers or another form of rhythmic bilateral stimulation (e.g., auditory tones or tactile taps) while focusing on distressing memories. This process is thought to mimic the natural mechanisms the brain uses during REM sleep, a stage associated with memory consolidation and emotional processing. By engaging both hemispheres of the brain in this way, EMDR helps clients process traumatic memories, alleviating their emotional charge and reducing their impact on daily life.

    'In this wonderfully eclectic collection of essays Adam Scovell makes a beguiling guide, leading us along numerous haunted byways of British and European literature, television and cinema.'
    – Edward Parnell, author of Ghostland
    'Scovell's incisive essays, distributed across space-time, come together in this volume to form a cohesive travelogue through the hinterlands of our cultural landscape and the imaginal topographies of great artists, writers and filmmakers. It's an enriching journey that takes regular pitstops in those enchanted zones where a place and its stories are one and the same.'
    – Gareth E. Rees, author of Sunken Lands
    For more than a decade, writer and filmmaker Adam Scovell has been preoccupied by the strange connections between place and culture: curious about the graves of writers, determined to find the locations of iconic films, intrigued by the landscapes that inspired novels.
    From obscure British television to European cinema, the poems of playwrights to the psychogeography of Weird Fiction, Local Haunts brings together a collection of essays, photographs, travelogues, and journalism that explores the connections between art and the landscapes that inspire it. With particular focus on several key figures that emphasised place in their work – including W.G. Sebald, Alan Garner, Agnès Varda, M.R. James, and Marguerite Duras – Scovell examines culture that is haunted by locales, rural and urban.
    Taken from a range of print and digital publications, including work published by Sight & Sound, Literary Hub, Caught By The River, and Little White Lies, as well as Scovell's Celluloid Wicker Man site that brought many ideas surrounding Folk Horror and the Urban Wyrd to prominence in the early 2010s, Local Haunts brings together a decade of work treading the ghostways and the corpse roads of film, literature, and art.
