Puffers and places / Guthrie Hutton
"This new companion volume to the author's Puffers which we published in 2007 and have had to reprint many times since. The subject matter is dear to the author's heart as he is a canal enthusiast and of course puffers worked some of Scotland's canals. While at the BBC he worked on the television series The Vital Spark. He also collects images of puffers assiduously and essentially told us he had found so many previously unseen pictures we had to do a new book. Nobody will be disappointed with the selection here which includes locations such as Crinan, Dunoon, Rothesay, Lochranza, Brodick, Ruchill, Kirkintilloch, Kirkcaldy, Portree, Bowling, Fort Augustus and more. All are accompanied by lengthy and detailed captions."--Provided by the publisher.

The May Flower : a barging childhood /Nick Ardley.
"In this evocative story of his unusual upbringing on the May Flower, Nick Ardley gives us a colourful account of life on the water. He tells tales of places visited, techniques learned and characters met that combine to give a real sense of what sailing can teach us. The skills learned on the water have proved to be highly beneficial for many people in their later careers, while the self-reliance and resourcefulness that often characterises sailors are much-valued attributes anywhere. Weaving his wealth of barging knowledge into the story of his family's life aboard the May Flower and their great resilience in keeping their barge on the water, Nick Ardley has given us a book that will appeal both to barging enthusiasts and those interested in childhood development."--Provided by the publisher.

The Herschels of Hanover / Michael Hoskin.
An account of the life and family of William Herschel, covering his parents, siblings and children. Gives a short biography of each. Mainly focused on the career of William who was a musician before becoming a royal astronomer to the court of King George III. He had many talents in building instruments, collecting data and applying formal methodologies. One such approach was borrowed from Natural History: that of collected catalogues of specimens and deriving trends within a dataset. With this he studied double stars and nebulea. This was facilitated by the development of increasingly powerful telescopes, covered in this text. He also discovered Uranus and infrared light.

British military and naval medicine, 1600-1830 / edited by Geoffrey L. Hudson.
"Standing armies and navies brought with them military medical establishments, shifting the focus of disease management from individuals to groups. Prevention, discipline, and surveillance produced results, and career opportunities for physicians and surgeons. All these developments had an impact on medicine and society, and were in turn influenced by them. The essays within examine these phenomena, exploring the imperial context, nursing and medicine in Britain, naval medicine, as well as the relationship between medicine, the state and society"--Back cover.

The genesis of the naval profession / Norbert Elias ; edited and with an introduction by Renâe Moelker and Stephen Mennell.
Drawn largely from unpublished manuscripts, this compilation illustrates Norbert Elias' theory that the emergence of the professional naval officer in Great Britain was related both to the necessities of naval warfare and to the structure of society on land. Specifically, the innovation of the rank of midshipman meant that the British were able to mitigate the impact of social barriers between officers and ratings and gradually merge the two hierarchies.
