Have you ever felt the first twinge of anxiety and wondered what to do about it? Did it grow arms and legs and send you spiralling into a panic attack, or trigger a phobia or even depression? We are bombarded by information through our TVs and phones that isn't always good for us; information that can cause anxiety, uncertainty, panic and fear, all of which affect our mental health. The last year has been particularly hard on us all, with our lives disrupted and in some cases hardly recognisable to what they were pre-pandemic. How do you feel? Would you like to feel better? This short book outlines the main triggers for anxiety, how we can recognise the symptoms, and what we can do to help ourselves through simple things like humour and good food, but also through interventions like hypnosis or counselling if we need a little extra help. The author suffered from crippling anxiety for years, which led to him pursuing a career in psychotherapy at Regents College, London. He knows what it feels like to be completely overcome by anxiety, but also knows firsthand that it is possible to learn to manage this debilitating state. It is his hope that you benefit from what he has written, and will pass this book on to anyone who you think might need it too.

During the 17th century England and Holland found themselves at war three times, in a clash for economic and naval supremacy, fought out in the cold waters of the North Sea and the English Channel. The First Anglo-Dutch War (1652-54) pitted the Dutch against Oliver Cromwell's Commonwealth Navy, which proved as successful at sea as his New Model Army had been on land. Following the Restoration of 1660 the two maritime powers clashed again, and in the Second Dutch War (1665-67) it was the Dutch who had the upper hand. They humiliated the English by burning their fleet in the Medway (1667), forcing Charles II to sue for peace. This peace proved temporary, and the Third Dutch War (1672-74) proved a well-balanced and bitterly-fought naval contest. The Royal Navy eventually emerged triumphant, establishing a tradition of naval dominance that would last for two centuries. This was a revolutionary era in several key areas - warship design, armament and in naval tactics. In effect the ships and fleets that began the conflict in 1652 were by-products of an earlier age - warships designed to fight chivalrous duels with their enemy counterparts. By the close of the Third Dutch War these warships had evolved into fully-fledged ships-of-the-line - the warships that would dominate the age of fighting sail until the advent of steam. This book traces the development of these warships during this critical evolutionary period in naval history, and shows that while both sides evolved their own doctrines of warship design and armament, it was the English notion who created a battle-winning navy of sailing ships-of-war.
