The original intention of the compilers of the present pamphlet was to provide readers with the enough practical knowledge they would require to observe and plot the celestial position lines in a correct ways, and also to be able to obtain any technical information commonly needed for completion of the celestial navigation day.

In fact, the degree of proficiency that can be reached in the field of celestial navigation, depends on the practical experience of the mariners. However, the present volume provides readers with lots of useful information that can be related as a foundation on which the whole other knowledge shall be built, and using this information, the mariners will be able to make the celestial navigation a much more satisfying experience. Please note that the information n an data provided in this title shall be used for training purposes only.

For many centuries, the mariners used the small and big dippers as a sort of guides as they always stayed in a same position. The star that did never seem to move at the sky was noticed to have a constant attitude and the mariners of the past used this to move north and south. We would not consider celestial navigation a dead art at all, even in the age of modern equipment and electronics. It is actually used to update the systems of electronic navigation and also used when there are ni any other means readily available...

The content of the present book is mainly focusing in the maritime conflicts looked at as one of the parts of the process of transformation that took place in Europe from the end-XVIII century to the mid-XVII century. The main lines of the subject transformation are quite well-known, Looking from the maritime perspective, some of the parts of this transformation process were considered particularly important.

The long-distance maritime trade has significantly increased and the role of the capitalist entrepreneurs in human society has become much more important in Europe. In the whole Mediterranean area, in the Ottoman and Spanish empires dominated in the beginning of the XVI century. The last decades of the XVI century and early decades of the XVII century showed the rapid rise of both political and economic power of the north-western Europe and stagnation of the Mediterranean...

In this publication, the author has emphasized the role of the maritime conflicts in the naval history and transformation of Europe, in particular. It starts with the clear description of the important role of the warfare, followed by the major technology as well as tactics and strategy, information on changing maritime societies, maritime wars, organizations and states, maritime state formation and Atlantic warfare, galley navies, major sailing navies and wealth of other important and valuable historical information.

This well-written and very useful book is intended to help people who are experiencing general difficulties with writing English being non-native speakers. All dos and don'ts have been arranged in alphabetical order for easier navigation, coupled with a comprehensive index and functional cross-references -what this means is that the users will have no any difficulties when searching for the answers.

The book is also supplemented with some useful appendices like tips on writing and laying out a document, basic grammar notes etc. This entertaining guidance book packed with useful information was compiled based on the very long and brilliant experience of the author, Kay Sayce, in assisting people in producing documents in English. The publication addresses all awkward issues, such as the business English, acronyms, letter writing, American English language, clichés and jargon, quotations and hyphens, etc.

The book shows that though there are rules and conventions, they shall rather be used as the basis on which the confidence to explore the whole versatility and richness of the English language shall be built. We would definitely recommend this reference to be used as a tool for any person, whose work involves using good written English, for instance, writers of the reports and other professional papers.

The present technical manual was officially released by Westerbeke Corporation in order to assist people dealing with everyday operation and technical maintenance of Westerbeke 40 marine diesel engines and WPDS marine diesel generators.

The Westerbeke 40 was previously designated Westerbeke Four-107 and this designation incorporated a basic engine model known variously as 4-99, 4-107, and 4-108. Throughout the technical manual the reader will notice references to those engines model numbers. The numbers are used to distinguish among the three major engineering changes which have been already made to this marine diesel engine.

Technical Manual for Westerbeke 10TWO and 12B-TWO marine diesel engines. The publication includes manuals for WMD marine diesel generators (3 KW-60 Hz and 2.4 KW-50 Hz). Officially released by Westerbeke in 1993. The document covers installation, operation and maintenance issues, engine overhaul, other overhaul (marine engine electrical system, external cooling system, transmissions), generator sets, and is supplemented by the service bulletins. Apart from the technical data stated above, this document will be providing brief information necessary for users to better understand the principles of diesel engines.

This product catalogue presented by Westronics is fact consists of eight separate booklets providing all necessary information and addressing count relays - SBCR series, diode units - DU-05/10/15/25/110A, ground monitors - protection for AC/DC systems and AC low/high voltage motors, group annunciators - SA/SBGA series, line fault detectors - LFD series, electric motor controllers - SMC 500/500B series, power supply units - SA-132/250/520/960, slim timers and voltage sensors produced by Westronics, one of the world leaders in the industry.

The ultimate intention of the author of this publication was to provide readers with the source of info that covers all core areas of the English language. The book is a remarkably comprehensive intro to the subject, and it is also exploring the ongoing debates in world Englishes, their testing and teaching.

The publication draws on a wide range of tests, examples and other data, e.g. articles from world popular newspapers, and it also includes some classic readings. Most of the important sociopolitical and historical developments in the world Englishes have been covered in this book. The title is very interesting and very well-written. The layout is perfect and makes this book very easy to read. It covers most of the related topics in a very clear format.

The complexity of the English language must never be underestimated and readers should not take the sensitivities surrounding it lightly. The efforts made by the author have resulted in an excellent resource for the students to introduce them to the rapidly growing field of world Englishes. Note that references have been made to the materials straight out from our everyday life, and such approach made the whole content of the volume easily accessible for everyone. 

This is an official reference document that was worked out by the professionals of Wilhelmsen and released by the company in order to provide the best technical description of the available methods for testing the fuel oil and lubricating. It also provides some basic theoretical information, explaining what exactly the TBN, i.e. the Total Base

Number is and how it shall be determined - this can be achieved by means of taking measurements of the pressure build-up occurring in the cell at the time when some pre-determined quantity of oil sample is being added to a special reagent. Then, the amount of sample required by the cell measurement processor is to be determined; and  this amount bases on the expected Total Base Number.

When this instrument is used for the very first time, please take into account that it is absolutely necessary to calibrate it for each of the measured oil grades. The cell is able to hold the calibration information for up to seven different grades of oil. It is recommended to use the name of the oil grade the "Name" in the process of setting-up the cell. Note that you will have to re-calibrate the cell every half a year.

The calibration could be checked by using new oil in the Total Base Number test procedure, in place of the one used. The'test'TBN should be close to the new oil TBN.
