  Peter the Great created a navy from nothing, but it challenged and soon surpassed Sweden as the Baltic naval power, while in the Black Sea it became an essential tool in driving back the Ottoman Turks from the heartland of Europe. In battle it was surprisingly successful, and at times in the eighteenth century was the third largest navy in the world - yet its history, and especially its ships, are virtually unrecorded in the West.This major new reference work handsomely fills this gap, with a complete and comprehensive list of the fleet, with technical detail and career highlights for every ship, down to small craft. However, because the subject is so little recorded in English, the book also provides substantial background material on the organisation and administration of the navy, its weapons, personnel and shipbuilding facilities, as well as an outline of Russias naval campaigns down to the clash with Britain and France known as the Crimean War.Illustrated with plans, paintings and prints rarely seen outside Russia, it is authoritative, reliable and comprehensive, the culmination of a long collaboration between a Russian naval historian and an American ship enthusiast.EDUARD SOZAEV is an established Russian naval historian with a number of books to his credit. JOHN TREDREA, his translator, editor and long-term collaborator, is an American ship enthusiast with a life-long interest in the Russian navy.

  True Stories and Other Rarities:...

  When the lamp hit the wall we knew we needed a change. And change things we did. Very shortly afterwards we sold almost everything we owned, bought backpacks and boots and two one-way tickets to Bangkok Thailand. We didn't know when we were coming back or even where we would go but Bangkok was a start and we needed a new start. Living a quiet life in Denmark, we did what many people talked about doing. Our adventure was exciting and taught us that in order to know what you've got you sometimes have to give it up. One thing we were not willing to give up was our marriage and so off we went. Written during the trip True Stories and Other Rarities: Backpacking Through Asia takes the reader on our adventure like it really was, which was not always beautiful, not always fun, but always surprising and full characters. Traversing the streets of Bangkok on foot, meeting new friends in Vietnam, hiking Nepal, sleeping in caves, and trying to survive the streets of India. This is not your average adventure book, but our trip was not the average trip. We set off on one of our adventures with pie-in-sky ideas of how it was going to be. We were wrong. Note: a percentage of all proceeds from the sell of this book will go directly to Animal charities and sanctuaries.

  Titanic - A Fresh Look at the...

  “By far the most thorough and well-written investigative book on RMS Titanic’s short life and tragic sinking that this reviewer has read . . . fascinating.” —Choice Reviews   The sinking of the Titanic on her maiden voyage in April 1912 was one of the defining moments of the twentieth century. Books and films about the disaster that befell the iconic liner are commonplace, and it seems almost inconceivable that anything fresh can emerge. But there is one angle that has not been covered, and Titanic examines the events of April 1912 from that completely new perspective. John Lang brings the standards of a twenty-first-century accident investigation to bear on the events of April 1912, using his expertise and his investigator’s instinct to determine exactly what happened a century ago, and what important lessons still need to be learned.  “A fascinating account . . . this book looks at the facts from a new perspective and uncovers some unexpected findings. A worthwhile read.” —Royal Naval Sailing Association  “Provides genuine insight into what almost certainly happened before, during and after the ice sliced through the five compartments on the liner’s starboard bow.” —Viewpoint  “Lang, with his experience of marine accident investigation has found an angle in examining events of April 1912 from the perspective of an MAIB officer. His analysis is supported by detailed background material enabling the reader to understand the events of the collision and sinking more fully as he brings the standards of a 21st century investigation to bear on the events in determining exactly what happened and why.” —Flash
