Watkins Media Limited
Watkins Media Ltd. consists of 4 imprints - Watkins (self-help, personal development and mind, body, spirit), Nourish (healthy living and cookery), Angry Robot (science fiction and fantasy) and Repeater (Radical Politics, Fiction and Philosophy). The story of Watkins Publishing dates back to March 1893, when John M. Watkins, a scholar of esotericism, overheard his friend and teacher Madame Blavatsky lamenting the fact that there was nowhere in London to buy books on mysticism, occultism or metaphysics. At that moment Watkins was born, soon to become the home of many of the leading lights of spiritual literature, including Carl Jung, Rudolf Steiner, Alice Bailey and Chögyam Trungpa. Today our passion for vigorous questioning is still resolute, our books have continued to reflect the development of spiritual thinking and new science over the past 120 years. We remain at the cutting edge, committed to publishing books that change lives.

A splice does not only look elegant and seamanlike, but is also the strongest connection or the best fixation, one can make using ropes. Therefore, if on luxury yachts or on racing boats, halyard, sheet or trim line will be spliced. Looking at them, they seem to be made with secret knowledge that one would not dare to do themselves. But splicing has been and still is a manual technique, which means knowledge, but also training. This is what the book is about, to help the interested reader to learn without too much effort. An enclosed video shows the different options, step by step. Rigging – construction, material, technical terms Splicing tools Basic skills Splicing of easy ropes without core Splicing of modern ropes with core Data of material and comparative figures Dimension of sheets and halyards DVD included

The Bradt Travel Guide
by Paul Doyle
Although only half the size of Wales, Lebanon offers extraordinary diversity. Here, some of the oldest human settlements in the world at the Phoenician ports of Tyre, Sidon and Byblos sit alongside modern Beirut, popular for its cuisine, eclectic nightlife and mosaic of peoples. In Lebanon's second city, Tripoli, busy medieval souks are watched over by a vast Crusader castle. Outside the city, snow-capped mountains and the lush Qadisha Valley with its snaking river and waterfalls provide entertainment for skiers and hikers, while the Mediterranean Sea draws sun and watersports enthusiasts. Bradt's Lebanon provides detailed cultural and practical information to this increasingly popular destination. It also provides in-depth historical and religious background enabling visitors to travel with awareness and sensitivity._x000D_
