No one understands this better than Admiral Jim Stavridis. In \u003ci\u003eSea Power\u003c\/i\u003e, Admiral Stavridis takes us with him on a tour of the world's oceans from the admiral's chair, showing us how the geography of the oceans has shaped the destiny of nations, and how naval power has in a real sense made the world we live in today, and will shape the world we live in tomorrow. \u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e Not least, \u003ci\u003eSea Power\u003c\/i\u003e is marvelous naval history, giving us fresh insight into great naval engagements from the battles of Salamis and Lepanto through to Trafalgar, the Battle of the Atlantic, and submarine conflicts of the Cold War. It is also a keen-eyed reckoning with the likely sites of our next major naval conflicts, particularly the Arctic Ocean, Eastern Mediterranean, and the South China Sea. Finally, \u003ci\u003eSea Power\u003c\/i\u003e steps back to take a holistic view of the plagues to our oceans that are best seen that way, from piracy to pollution.\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e When most of us look at a globe, we focus on the shape of the of the seven continents. Admiral Stavridis sees the shapes of the seven seas.  After reading \u003ci\u003eSea Power\u003c\/i\u003e, you will too. Not since Alfred Thayer Mahan's legendary \u003ci\u003eThe Influence of Sea Power upon History\u003c\/i\u003e have we had such a powerful reckoning with this vital subject.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49560570921233,"sku":"GOR010702009","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":49807694987537,"sku":"CIN0735220611G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ WELL_READ \/ SBYB","offer_id":50096961487121,"sku":"CIN0735220611A","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50421010333969,"sku":"CIN0735220611VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50907449262353,"sku":"GOR014118335","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51006425530641,"sku":"NIN9780735220614","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0735220611.jpg?v=1750945041"},{"product_id":"command-at-sea-6th-edition-book-admiral-james-stavridis-usn-9781591147985","title":"Command at Sea, 6th Edition","description":"First published in 1943, this book has long been the key resource for U.S. Navy officers preparing for command at sea. This sixth edition reflects the sweeping changes that have occurred over the past decade in the mechanics of how command at sea is executed and the context in which commanding officers work.   Among these changes are the adoption of a new maritime strategy that identifies maritime security and humanitarian assistance as core competencies; a post 9-11 environment in which maritime intercept operations and irregular warfare are key; the rise of piracy; increasing joint and combined operations; the growing capacity to share information; and the modernisation of the fleet. An expanded discussion of the submarine-related aspects of command is also included.   About the Authors  Adm. James Stavridis is the Supreme Allied Commander in Europe. Previously he commanded the U.S. Southern Command in Miami. Rear Adm. Robert Girrier is Commander of the Nimitz Carrier Strike Group.  Both authors also wrote Watch Officer's Guide, and Division Officer's Guide.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":49724269658385,"sku":"CIN1591147980VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":49758859854097,"sku":"CIN1591147980G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ WELL_READ \/ SBYB","offer_id":49777344971025,"sku":"CIN1591147980A","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1591147980.jpg?v=1751151025"},{"product_id":"restless-wave-book-admiral-james-stavridis-usn-9780593494073","title":"The Restless Wave","description":"\u003cb\u003e\"\u003ci\u003eThe Restless Wave\u003c\/i\u003e is not only a stirring and gripping story of the sea, but also of love and war and leadership.
