After adventures in mainland Europe and the lands of the rising sun, LE GUN#5 is set to grace lavatories, poodle-parlours, bars and bookshelves far and wide. Somewhere between art object and pulp fiction, LE GUN #5 is a collage of art by disparate individuals, a free wheeling visual poem punctuated with literary, profound and absurd quotes, always sailing on the side of the surreal and exposing the darker recesses of its warped contributors minds, a rich celebration of drawing and story telling. LE GUN #5 has taken the great George Melly (trout-tickling-dada-loving jazz pirate, and past contributor to LE GUN) as muse for this issue. Works include the intense outsider art of Nick Blinko, artist, writer and frontman of anarcho punk/Deathrock band Rudimentary Peni. Emma Rendel, the spearhead of Swedish surrealism, provides a special insert: Aquiring Success in Your Professional Career Through the Science of Personal Achievement, James Unsworth presents his Ninja Turtle Sex Museum, camp taxidermy comes from Hernan Bas, Charles Averys imaginary Island makes an appearance, the macabre tableaux of Laurie Lipton appear for the first time in LE GUN, while words from the Hunter S. Thompson of Hartlepool, Michael Smith help complete the assemblage...
The seventeenth century saw the transformation of Britain from a minor state on the fringes of Europe into a global economic power, whose interests were protected and promoted by the largest navy in the world. The character of this navy was forged by a bloody civil war, three fiercely disputed conflicts with the Dutch, and the first of many wars with the French. In the process the ships themselves were transformed from the surviving galleons that had defeated the Spanish Armada, through huge prestige vessels like Prince Royal and Sovereign of the Seas and the lightly built frigates of the Commonwealth era into warships that were recognizably ships of the line. These radical developments in the design and employment of warships can be followed in detail for the first time in this comprehensive new reference book, which outlines the history of every ship built, purchased or captured that saw naval service during this era. Like its companion volumes on the 1714-1792 and 1793-1817 periods, the book is organized by Rate, classification and class, with outline technical and building data, but followed by a concise summary of the careers of each ship in every class. With its unique depth of information, this is a work of the utmost importance to every naval historian and general reader interested in the navy of the sailing era.
The 2nd volume in this comprehensive naval history details the design and employment of British warships through the 18th century. The Hanoverian dynasty that came to power with the accession of George I in 1714 inherited the largest navy in the world. In the course of the century, this force would see a vast amount of action against nearly every major navy, reaching a pinnacle of success in the Seven Years War only to taste defeat in the American Revolution. This superb reference book outlines the service history of every ship that fought for the Royal Navy in the great wars of the eighteenth century—well over 2000 vessels. The book is organized by Rate, classification and class. The technical and building data of each ship is followed by a concise summary of its career. This includes commissioning dates, refit periods, changes of captain, the stations where they served, and details of any noteworthy actions in which they took part. It will enable anyone to follow up a casual reference to any warship, and will provide the researcher with a solid core of information on which to base further study. With its unique depth of information, this is a work of the utmost importance to every naval historian and general reader interested in the navy of the sailing era.
