Waterman
Waterman is the first comprehensive biography of Duke Kahanamoku (1890–1968): swimmer, surfer, Olympic gold medalist, Hawaiian icon, waterman. Long before Michael Phelps and Mark Spitz made their splashes in the pool, Kahanamoku emerged from the backwaters of Waikiki to become America’s first superstar Olympic swimmer.

Lloyd’s Register Rules and Regulations 1859-1860
Lloyd's Register has published the Rules and Regulations for the Classification of Ships, to which all Lloyd's Register classed ships must conform, since 1834. Between 1834 and 1870 the Rules were bound within the Lloyd's Register of Ships. Since 1870 they have been published separately.

They are still regularly updated to reflect the advances in technology and changes in regulatory requirements, and still function as a trusted companion to surveyors, shipowners, shipyards and regulatory bodies around the world.
Lloyd's Register of Shipping 1859
The Lloyd's Register of Shipping records the details of merchant vessels over 100 gross tonnes, which are self-propelled and sea-going, regardless of classification. Before the time, only those vessels classed by Lloyd's Register were listed. Vessels are listed alphabetically by their current name.

Not merely a history of the Court's opinions and jurisprudence, it is also a rich account of the Court in the broadest sense--of the sorts of people who become justices and the methods by which they are chosen, of how the Court does its work, and of its relationship with other branches of government. Rather than praising or criticizing the Court's decisions, Banner makes the case that one cannot fully understand the decisions without knowing about the institution that produced them.
