Rock lighthouse : an illustrated history /Michael A. W. Strachan
"Since its completion in 1811, the Bell Rock Lighthouse has been revered as an industrial wonder of the world. The iconic tower was built on the Inchcape Rock, a submerged reef some 12 miles off the coast of Arbroath, and now stands as the oldest sea-washed tower in the world, surviving over 200 years of violent storms and crashing waves. The construction of the Bell Rock made the name of the Stevenson family, a dynasty of lighthouse engineers who dominated Scottish lighthouse engineering for 150 years. Robert Stevenson was the first man on the reef and the last man off, a personal commitment which saw the Bell Rock's actual Chief Engineer, John Rennie, almost deleted from the building's history. The Bell Rock is, however, more than just Stevenson and Rennie. Not only was it a remarkable feat of engineering, but one which played host to a remarkable way of life. The light-keepers undertook nightly vigils on the rock for 177 years, their often mundane and monotonous duties occasionally being punctuated by technological improvements and world events. The keepers are now all gone but the Bell Rock continues to show its familiar flash for the safety of all."--Provided by the publisher.

Bell
.
This book is the first major study of Winston Churchill's record as a naval strategist and his impact as the most prominent guardian of Britain's sea power in the modern era. The book debunks many popular and well-entrenched myths surrounding controversial episodes in both World Wars, including the Dardanelles disaster, the Norwegian Campaign, the Battle of the Atlantic, and the devastating loss of the Prince of Wales and Repulse in 1941. It shows that many common criticisms of Churchill have been exaggerated, but also that some of his mistakes have been largely overlooked. The book also examines Churchill's evolution as a maritime strategist over the course of his career, and documents his critical part in managing Britain's naval decline during the first half of the twentieth century. Churchill's genuine affection for the Royal Navy has often distracted attention from the fact that his views on sea power were pragmatic and unsentimental. For, as Christopher M. Bell shows, in a period dominated by declining resources, global threats, and rapid technologicalchange, it was increasingly air rather than sea power that Churchill looked to as the foundation of Britain's security.

92CHURCHILL
Bell
"The story of the Dardanelles - the campaign which nearly destroyed Churchill's reputation forever. A detailed and authoritative account of the campaign's origins and execution, based on extensive archival research. Strips away the layers of myth that have long surrounded these dramatic events. Clearly shows how simple judgements about the operation - whether pro or contra - are neither possible nor fair. Reveals for the first time the secret machinations that led to Churchill's removal from office - including the high-level leaks fuelling the press campaign to drive Churchill from power. Untangles Churchill's complicated relationship with the dynamic Admiral Jacky Fisher - and Fisher's covert campaign to undermine the Dardanelles campaign. Tells the perhaps even more important story of Churchill after the Dardanelles - and his decades-long battle to defend his record over the campaign."--Provided by the publisher.

Teaching to transgress : education as the practice of freedom /
bell
hooks.
"In Teaching to Transgress,bell hooks - writer, teacher, and insurgent black intellectual - writes about a new kind of education, education as the practice of freedom. Teaching students to "transgress" against racial, sexual, and class boundaries in order to achieve the gift of freedom is, for hooks, the teacher's most important goal. bell hooks speaks to the heart of education today: how can we rethink teaching practices in the age of multiculturalism? What do we do about teachers who do not want to teach, and students who do not want to learn? How should we deal with racism and sexism in the classroom? Full of passion and politics, Teaching to Transgress combines a practical knowledge of the classroom with a deeply felt connection to the world of emotions and feelings. This is the rare book about teachers and students that dares to raise questions about eros and rage, grief and reconciliation, and the future of teaching itself. "To educate is the practice of freedom," writes bell hooks, "is a way of teaching anyone can learn." Teaching to Transgress is the record of one gifted teacher's struggle to make classrooms work."--Provided the publisher.

Shaw Savill's magnificent seven : Corinthic, Athenic, Ceramic, Gothic, Persic, Runic, Suevic /Andrew
Bell
A history of Shaw Savill's Corinthic, Athenic, Ceramic, Gothic, Persic, Runic, Suevic - seven ships designed as large cargo vessels to service the trade routes between New Zealand and London. The Corinthic, Athenic, Ceramic and Gothic also carried passengers - the Gothic famous as the vessel carrying Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip on their world coronation tour. Chapters on each vessel provide details of their design, construction, service history and cargoes, and also include personal accounts of events and anecdotes about life on board. Each chapter is richly illustrated including plans and photographs of the ship's launch, interior and exterior, and crew. An appendix covers the demise of Furness Withy, owner of Shaw Savill since 1935, and a concluding section contains illustrations of memorabilia including extracts from the 'Information for passengers' booklet, publicity brochures and documents relating to the coronation tour.
