  For any sailor, in a yacht or motorboat, the passage from one place to another is relatively easy, particularly with modern navigation equipment. What can be more of a challenge (and a potential source of anxiety for skipper and crew) is the start and end of a passage – how to leave and arrive safely, particularly if it's a cramped marina or crowded anchorage. In Illustrated Seamanship, Ivar Dedekam takes you through the techniques required to achieve a safe departure and arrival. Starting with the fundamentals of ropework he then moves on to manoeuvring, berthing, making fast and then leaving. All types of berthing are covered from coming alongside, stern to, bow to, between finger pontoons and using piles and buoys. There is advice about dealing with different wind and current directions as well as using springs. Ivar then turns to anchoring and offers guidance on setting and weighing anchor in many different circumstances: under sail and under power, using one or two anchors and coping with changes in wind and tide while anchored. You probably won't experience all the scenarios that Ivar so carefully describes, but you will certainly come across quite a few. Knowing what to do when a new situation comes up could be invaluable, increasing your confidence and leading to greater enjoyment and use of your boat. With over 500 diagrams, this slim volume is a perfect reminder of frequently used techniques and could be your get-out-of-jail card when a new circumstance arises. This new edition has an improved layout and the eBook's functionality has been improved significantly.

  The two titles in this bundle are: 
  Agriculture - Agriculture stands at the heart of human civilization, sustaining populations, economies, and ecosystems around the globe. As the primary source of food and materials for countless industries, agriculture is fundamental to our daily lives. Yet, as demand for food and resources grows, traditional farming practices have come under scrutiny for their impact on land, water, and ecosystems. This situation has sparked a profound exploration into how agriculture can evolve to meet future needs without compromising environmental health or resource availability. In response to these challenges, sustainable agriculture has emerged as a guiding framework. Rather than depleting resources, sustainable agriculture seeks to work in harmony with nature, fostering productive systems that can endure and even improve over time.  
  Environmental Science - Environmental Science is an interdisciplinary field that integrates various scientific disciplines to study the natural world and the impact of human activities on it. This branch of science explores the complex interactions between living organisms, their physical surroundings, and the broader ecosystems they form. The primary goal of environmental science is to understand how natural systems function, identify environmental problems, and develop strategies for addressing these issues. At its core, environmental science seeks to answer fundamental questions about the earth's resources, how they are used, and how human actions influence the balance of ecosystems. It draws from biology, chemistry, physics, geology, and social sciences to provide a comprehensive understanding of the environment.

  Here Be Dragons takes us on one’s man’s quest to make healthcare more accessible and affordable for all. Web Golinkin began his healthcare leadership journey by starting the first 24-hour cable TV network dedicated to health, America’s Health Network, which was eventually sold to Fox. He then helped to revolutionize healthcare with RediClinic, one of the first companies to put healthcare clinics inside drug, grocery, and big box stores, and was later sold to Rite Aid. More recently, Web was CEO of FastMed, one of the nation’s largest and fastest-growing operators of urgent care clinics.But this is not a book about unbridled success. It is the true story of what happens when you are bold enough to try to transform a hidebound, multi-trillion-dollar industry. Retail clinics are now a permanent part of the healthcare landscape, but getting there did not come without a fight and required all the passion, endurance, and street-smarts that Web could muster at every step along the way.
