17th Century Dutch Merchant Ships :
by A.J.Hoving
I managed to aquire this book for nothing, sadly the plan set pack was not with this which I would have loved, however getting the book for nothing I can't really complain.
It's still a very good detailed account of Dutch Merchant Ships even without the plans.

Ok, these are some books I have about naval modeling and naval history. The last one I acquired was "RIGGING PERIOD SHIP MODELS".
Can you post a few pix from the Buques a Vela book?
Of course. Here is a small summary of the content of this book. (It has 394 pages). Although it´s in Spanish, I don't know if there will be an English version.
Muchas gracias, me la gusta mucho
Probably already well-know to many of you.

Two volumes originally published in 1958-1960. Not only diagrams but also extensive explanatory text.

Volume II: Mastmaking and Rigging, Sailing Models and Power Craft Hulls

The year is drawing to a close and I really needed another calendar for the workshop, so I had to buy one from ANCRE because they give you one for free if you spend €160 or more.
Joking aside, the book about the naval artillery has been on my wish list for a long time and there is also a small monograph La Diligente with additional 1:24 plans.

The Genesis of Rebellion - Pfaff and Hechter
The Age of Sail has long fascinated readers, writers, and the general public. Herman Melville, Joseph Conrad, Jack London et al. treated ships at sea as microcosms; Petri dishes in which larger themes of authority, conflict and order emerge. In this fascinating book, Pfaff and Hechter explore mutiny as a manifestation of collective action and contentious politics. The authors use narrative evidence and statistical analysis to trace the processes by which governance failed, social order decayed, and seamen mobilized. Their findings highlight the complexities of governance, showing that it was not mere deprivation, but how seamen interpreted that deprivation, which stoked the grievances that motivated rebellion. Using the Age of Sail as a lens to examine topics still relevant today - what motivates people to rebel against deprivation and poor governance - The Genesis of Rebellion: Governance, Grievance, and Mutiny in the Age of Sail helps us understand the emergence of populism and rejection of the establishment.
Steven Pfaff serves on the board of the Association for the Study of Religion, Economics and Culture. He studies sociology, political science, and economic history, and has received book prizes from the Social Science History Association and the European Academy of Sociology.
Michael Hechter is a Fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences and Foundation Professor of Political Science at Arizona State University. He is the author of various books.
