Download or read book Retrospect written by Larry D. Powell and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2011-08-24 with total page 85 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is actually possible to remove mistakes from one's past, purging them from the record forever. At least, the author had such an opportunity while reviewing material he had written during the 1970's, subsequently included in this book. Resisting the recurring temptation to "improve" upon pieces composed decades earlier, he opted instead to submit them as originally written in order to preserve the integrity of a much earlier creative stage in his life. For clarity and perspective, each composition is accompanied by either explanatory or elaborative comments. It is quite probable that you have encountered individuals similar to some of those described here. Possibly, you will have pondered some of the same thoughts, shared some of the same experiences, and pursued some of the same subjects as those related in this little volume. If not, perhaps you will enjoy looking back over the author's shoulder at some unique personalities, observations, places, and perspectives.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This tribute to a proud service surveys the history of the Royal Canadian Navy from its inception in 1910 to its demise in 1968. Although established as a declaration of Canada's independence from the imperial fleet, the RCN was the child of the Royal Navy. Its first ships were RN cast-offs, and for the next forty years officers trained in the British fleet -- their 'big ship time.' From these modest beginnings, the book deals with such related issues as the problem of imperial defense, the development of a naval service with a Canadian identity, and the evolution of a Canadian naval engineering capacity.
