Rough Passage by Robert Douglas Graham Pdf

In 1934, Commander Graham set off single-handed from Galmouth in EMANUEL, a tiny seven-ton cutter, on a voyage to Labrador. Once there, he spent several weeks cruising among the remote settlements of Newfoundland and Labrador. On the passage home via Bermuda, heavy gales tested man and boat nearly to the limit: "The sea looked so terrifying that I could not bear to look at it, and I remained below all day." The disabled boat managed to make it to Bermuda, where Commander Graham spent the winter. He then sailed home in the spring by way of the Azores. This new edition contains previously unpublished information about the eight-year restoration of EMANUEL, faithfully restoring her to here original state.

Birth as an American Rite of Passage by Robbie Davis-Floyd Pdf

This classic book, first published in 1992 and again in 2003, has inspired three generations of childbearing people, birth activists and researchers, and birth practitioners—midwives, doulas, nurses, and obstetricians—to take a fresh look at the "standard procedures" that are routinely used to "manage" American childbirth. It was the first book to identify these non-evidence-based obstetric interventions as rituals that enact and transmit the core values of the American technocracy, thereby answering the pressing question of why these interventions continue to be performed despite all evidence to the contrary. This third edition brings together Davis-Floyd's insights into the intense ritualization of labor and birth and the technocratic, humanistic, and holistic models of birth with new data collected in recent years.

Rough Passage by Michael Brokensha Pdf

Rough Passage is a collection of mainly recent poems full of atmosphere and intensity. The voice is unique and evocative whether in an impressionist, descriptive or symbolic mode. Meaning, movement and rhythm are often created through powerful phrases and images. At times the touch can be light and sensitive at others dark and compelling. Often the boundaries between what is on the inside and what is on the outside blur at the interface of reason, imagination and dreams. In these poems the lid is lifted on Pandora’s jar. The struggle is to find hope.

North Sea Passage Pilot by Garth Cooper Pdf

Readers of Imray’s East Coast Pilot will need no introduction to Garth Cooper whose familiarity with North Sea passage-making is evident in the practical guidance he gives. Under his authorship, this edition has been restructured to reflect the changing nature of passages across the North Sea. As well as a consideration of the various Traffic Separation Schemes, routes take into account the many new offshore windfarms and oil and gas extraction platforms. As its name suggests, the emphasis of this pilot is on the passage routes, whether taking a more direct line between the UK and the Continent or incorporating hops along the East Coast and the adjacent coasts of France, Belgium and Holland. Pilotage is included for a selection of key ports. Updated plans and numerous new photographs help to illustrate the key features to help guide you across this challenging yet rewarding stretch of water.
