Book Description
Admiral of the Fleet Lord 'Jacky' Fisher (1841-1920) was one of the greatest naval reformers in history. He was also a colossal figure to contemporaries, both loved and loathed, a man of exceptional charm, presence and charisma. Since the late 1940s, Jan Morris has been haunted by his face - with its startling combination of 'the suave, the sneering and the self-amused.' This evocation is both biography and a love letter, a perfect expression of her passionate interest in mavericks and outsiders, in travel, ships and the glorious pageantry of the British Empire in its prime.

Book Description
A mobile application called mFisheries was developed by the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of the West Indies with support from development agencies such as the International Development Research Centre (IDRC) and the Technical Centre for Agricultural and Rural Cooperation (CTA). To use the app, fishers need a smartphone with global positioning capabilities. While the app will work on any suitable Android phone, it is best to have one that is waterproof and shock-resistant so it can survive the knocks and splashes that are unavoidable on a pitching boat. The mFisheries team recommends phones such as the RugGear RG600 which have large screens, a long battery life and rugged construction.

Book Description
Terence Fisher is best known as the director who made most of the classic Hammer horrors – including The Curse of Frankenstein, Dracula and The Devil Rides Out. But there is more to Terence Fisher than Hammer horror. In a busy twenty-five-year career, he directed fifty films, not just horrors but also thrillers, comedies, melodramas and science-fiction. This book offers an appreciation of all of Fisher's films and also gives a sense of his place in British film history. Looking at Fisher’s career as a whole not only underlines his importance as a film-maker but also casts a new, interesting light on the areas in which he worked – Gainsborough melodrama, the 1950s B film, 1960s science-fiction and, of course, Hammer, one of the most successful independent film companies in the history of British cinema.
