Download or read book The Channel Islands in Anglo-French Relations, 1689-1918 written by Colin Partridge and published by Boydell & Brewer. This book was released on 2024-01-16 with total page 311 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Examines how the Channel Islands have been crucial to Britain's successful maritime superiority in the English Channel. The Channel Islands have played a key role in both naval warfare and Anglo-French diplomacy, but this has not always been highlighted sufficiently even though Britain and France were at war for most of the period 1689-1815. This book considers a wide range of maritime subjects where the role of the Channel Islands has been significant, such as intelligence gathering, piracy and privateering, and naval strategy and control of the Channel. It also examines topics in relation to the Channel Islands specifically, such as surveying and hydrography, fortifications, trade and Channel Islands societies. It charts changes over time, including the impact of technological changes, from the wars of Louis XIV and William III, through the many Anglo-French wars of the eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, and includes planning for wars which were anticipated but avoided. Throughout the issues are discussed from the perspectives of Britain, France and the Channel Islands themselves, equal weight being given to all three perspectives. Andrew Lambert is Professor of War Studies at King's College, London and one of Britain's foremost maritime and naval historians. Colin Partridge is a former consultant to the States of Guernsey's 'Fortress Guernsey' programme for the restoration and interpretation of Guernsey's fortifications. Jean de Préneuf is a Senior Lecturer at the University of Lille and Head of the Research, Teaching and Studies Unit at the Historical Branch of the French Ministry of Defence at Vincennes.

Download or read book Restoration of Coastal Marine Ecosystems written by Ronald Osinga and published by Frontiers Media SA. This book was released on 2024-09-23 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Human health and wellbeing cannot be sustained without proper ecosystem functioning and high biodiversity is essential to maintain such functioning. Worldwide, unsustainable exploitation of natural resources by a growing human population has imposed serious pressures on ecosystem integrity. To change the tide, the United Nations declared the current decade as the UN Decade of Ecosystem Restoration, with the aim of “supporting and scaling up efforts to prevent, halt and reverse the degradation of ecosystems worldwide”. Large-scale active ecosystem restoration actions will be needed to achieve these ambitious aims. Whereas methodologies for systemic restoration of terrestrial ecosystems have been established, marine ecosystem restoration is still a young field of science, although rapidly emerging. This Research Topic proposal aims to provide a platform for the growing number of marine scientists involved in marine ecosystem restoration. The Research Topic will focus on coastal ecosystems, such as mangrove forests, salt marshes, seagrass beds, kelp forests, shellfish reefs and coral reefs, but will also welcome studies on nearshore environments such as shelf seas, Mediterranean coralligenous habitats and mesophotic reefs.

Download or read book Design And Construction Of Berm Breakwaters written by Jentsje Van Der Meer and published by World Scientific. This book was released on 2016-09-09 with total page 350 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Modern design of berm breakwaters began about thirty years ago. However, to date, there has been a lack of a well-established, formal design methodology on berm breakwaters. The authors Dr Jentsje van der Meer and Sigurdur Sigurdarson combine over 40 years of collective experience working with breakwaters to put forward a design framework in Design and Construction of Berm Breakwaters; covering the science and design practices of berm breakwater structures. The original design consisted of mass armoured berms that reshaped into statically stable S-shaped slopes. The design was adopted in Iceland and eventually led to a development with more stable structures by using available rock sizes, large rock, and more rock gradings than just 'small rock (core)' and 'large rock (berm)'. This more stable and only partly reshaping structure is called the Icelandic-type berm breakwater.Written for researchers and practitioners, the volume consists of chapters on geometrical designs of the berm breakwater cross-section, including berm reshaping and wave overtopping, quarry and project management, as well as blasting and sorting techniques, designs for various wave conditions and available rock classes, and case studies of already constructed berm breakwaters.

Download or read book The Golden Age of Piracy written by David Head and published by University of Georgia Press. This book was released on 2018-06-15 with total page 265 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Twelve authors shed new light on the true history and enduring mythology of seventeenth– and eighteenth–century pirates in this anthology of scholarly essays. The twelve entries in The Golden Age of Piracy discuss why pirates thrived in the seas of the New World, how pirates operated their plundering ventures, how governments battled piracy, and when and why piracy declined. Separating Hollywood myth from historical fact, these essays bring the real pirates of the Caribbean to life with a level of rigor and insight rarely applied to the subject. The Golden Age of Piracy also delves into the enduring status of pirates as pop culture icons. Audiences have devoured stories about cutthroats such as Blackbeard and Henry Morgan since before Robert Louis Stevenson wrote Treasure Island. By looking at the ideas of gender and sexuality surrounding pirate stories, the renewed interest in hunting for pirate treasure, and the construction of pirate myths, the contributing authors tell a new story about the dangerous men, and a few dangerous women, who terrorized the high seas. Contributors: Douglas R. Burgess, Guy Chet, John A. Coakley, Carolyn Eastman, Adam Jortner, Peter T. Leeson, Margarette Lincoln, Virginia W. Lunsford, Kevin P. McDonald, Carla Gardina Pestana, Matthew Taylor Raffety, and David Wilson.
