Produktbeschreibung
War at Sea is a collection of 21 essays and articles on naval warfare from the American Revolution to the end of the Second World War. In this book are some of the most famous, and indeed infamous naval battles in history. The author, a contributor to more than two dozen national magazines, has assembled and expanded on some of his favorite articles that cover the age of fighting sail, the emergence of steam power and the development of steel warships. Here you will find broadsides against wood, rifled guns against iron, the Royal Navy against the German Kriegsmarine, and submarines prowling the Atlantic and Pacific. The desperate carrier battles of Coral Sea, Midway, and Leyte Gulf are vividly described in a narrative style that has made the author a popular writer all over the country. Some of the greatest names in naval history, Admiral Horatio Nelson, commodore Stephen Decatur, Admiral Erich Raeder, and many others fill the pages of War at Sea in a way that not only educates, but entertains any reader interested in the story of naval warfare. From Chesapeake Bay to Jutland, from The River Plate to Guadalcanal, from Hampton Roads to Leyte Gulf, here are the most compelling and memorable accounts of the days of sail and steam, of wood and iron, and of duels to the death on the waters. While navies have long since changed since 1945, it is well worth knowing how it all came to be.
Autorenporträt
Mark A. Carlson has been a leader and proven landscape lighting designer for over two decades. He has performed all aspects of this practice, including design, installation, consultation, project management, and maintenance. He still engages these activities with his design-contracting business, Avalon Lighting Design. In 2019, he established and launched the Experiential Landscape Lighting Initiative (ELLI), which is dedicated to the trade practitioner and profession. It's the only educational resource available specifically to the landscape lighting designer. For additional learning, please visit the following websites and social media pages: https://www.landscapelightinginitiative.org/ https://avalonlighting.com/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/mark-carlson-4628a218/ One of the goals of ELLI is to provide advancement and training to those seeking to successfully grow in this ability--design. This book series will be part of the ELLI Training Program. And because the landscape lighting profession is somewhat lacking in both, definition and education, ELLI will act as an authority for this cause.
