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 engaged in three wars over economic and naval supremacy in the North Sea and the English Channel. The First Anglo-Dutch War (1652-54) saw the Dutch face Oliver Cromwell's Commonwealth Navy, which excelled at sea much like his New Model Army on land. After the Restoration in 1660, the Second Dutch War (1665-67) turned the tide in favor of the Dutch, who humiliated the English by burning their fleet in the Medway, forcing Charles II to seek peace. This peace was short-lived, leading to the Third Dutch War (1672-74), characterized by a fiercely contested naval struggle. Ultimately, the Royal Navy emerged victorious, establishing a legacy of naval dominance that would endure for two centuries. This era was revolutionary in warship design, armament, and tactics. The ships at the conflict's start were remnants of an earlier age, designed for chivalrous duels. By the end of the Third Dutch War, they had transformed into ships-of-the-line, which would dominate naval warfare until steam power emerged. This work explores the evolution of these warships during this pivotal period, highlighting how both sides developed their own design doctrines, but ultimately, it was the English who forged a battle-winning navy of sailing ships-of-war.
