Cast off the lines and discover 50 of the most fabulous off-the-beaten-track sailing destinations on our planet. If you own a sailing boat, chances are that you've wondered what it would be like to throw in your job, cast off and sail over the horizon. Here are 50 out-of-the way destinations to encourage you to sell up and go (or enjoy a temporary escape) with practical tips including formalities, the prevailing weather and GPS positions. The selection of locations is based on over 70,000 miles of sailing. Some (St Helena, Cocos Keeling) are classic yet remote destinations that have been favoured by circumnavigators ever since the days of Joshua Slocum. Others (in Japan, Patagonia or the Pacific Northwest) have been chosen as perfect examples of the attractions of those regions. Common denominators are protection from the weather, scenic beauty and historic and/or human interest. And the fact that, while solitude is not guaranteed, you won't be troubled by the arrival of a cruising flotilla or by a novice dragging anchor onto you. Each anchorage is introduced with a lively account describing the place, its history and people (if any) as well as the author and his crew's adventures. Each account is followed by a beautifully hand-drawn sketch of the anchorage and an information box.

From the Isles of Scilly to Portland Bill, this handy travel guide to the West Country ensures sailors make the most of every minute ashore. Arriving ashore somewhere often raises many questions for even the most experienced sailor: Where are the best anchorages and peaceful places to stop? What are the best routes for walks? Once you are fed and watered, how do I keep the family entertained? Where are the best beaches and where can I find laundry facilities? Sailors need a different kind of pilot guide and this book is their shore-side companion, helping them to explore and enjoy all the West Country has to offer. Without doubt, this stretch of coastline is Britain's most popular cruising destination. It offers a rich variety of coastline from the rugged, Atlantic feel of Scilly and Land's End, to the traditional Cornish villages between the Lizard Peninsula and Plymouth harbour. After Start Point, the Devon coastline softens and opens out to offer Dartmouth and the Rivers Dart and Exe working their way far inland to provide a wide array of flat-water cruising. Further east, you'll find the Jurassic coast with broad beaches busy with fossil hunters and places to stop if the weather is on your side. Illustrated with beautiful photographs and maps, this guide brings together the key information needed for your trip, along with Paul Heiney's brilliant recommendations, all in one handy place, freeing up valuable holiday time.

"This study explores how over three hundred children's picture books, most of them published in the last three decades in English, introduce children to art and art museums. It considers how the books emerge from and relate to a range of theories and assumptions about childhood and childhood development, children's literature and culture, illustration, visual art, museology, and art education"--

Among the plethora of real diners, drive-ins, and dives in the book are "lost" locations marking the cultural heritage of Albuquerque's streets and acknowledging the temporary nature of film sets. Macpherson reveals how restaurants and bars undergo hours of painstaking transformation before appearing on the small screen.
