Book excerpt: In 1905 President Teddy Roosevelt dispatched Secretary of War William Howard Taft on the largest U.S. diplomatic mission in history to Hawaii, Japan, the Philippines, China, and Korea. Roosevelt's glamorous twenty-one year old daughter Alice served as mistress of the cruise, which included senators and congressmen. On this trip, Taft concluded secret agreements in Roosevelt's name. In 2005, a century later, James Bradley traveled in the wake of Roosevelt's mission and discovered what had transpired in Honolulu, Tokyo, Manila, Beijing and Seoul. In 1905, Roosevelt was bully-confident and made secret agreements that he though would secure America's westward push into the Pacific. Instead, he lit the long fuse on the Asian firecrackers that would singe America's hands for a century.

Book excerpt: Welcome to the dark side-of ship life.Travel into the heart of cruise ship darkness with this laugh-out-loud true story of survival on the high seas. Go where no passenger has gone before and explore what it's really like to work on the kind of cruise ship that crew members call a "ship of darkness". From the author of Cruise Ships Do Funny Things To Me, this third book in the Chronicles of a Cruise Ship Crew Member series begins when the author and his always-optimistic girlfriend are transferred to the MS Barnacle-the kind of ship that could play the lead role in a horror flick. But there's a silver lining to the ship swap, the MS Barnacle is cruising around the Mediterranean's most exclusive, exotic, and enchanting ports. Climb aboard the ship of darkness and explore the often seedy and always fast-paced world of cruise ship art auctions as the self-proclaimed pair of pirates set sail on a hilarious port-hopping adventure along the coast of Italy, Spain, Greece, and France. This cruise ship memoir not only explores the sometimes Dickensian life that crew members live below deck, but also examines the fine and watery line between reality and the power of positive thinking. And it's a story where you'll finally discover the answers to your cruise ship questions such as: What do you do when you find a sea monster living inside the drain of your stateroom toilet? Will there be ice cream machines on the life rafts if the MS Barnacle sinks? And what's the phone number of an experienced maritime lawyer?

Book excerpt: In New York Times-bestselling science fiction epic Out of the Dark, Earth beat back an alien invasion. Now we've got to make sure they don't come back, in Into the Light. The Shongairi conquered Earth. In mere minutes, half the human race died, and our cities lay in shattered ruins. But the Shongairi didn’t expect the survivors’ tenacity. And, crucially, they didn’t know that Earth harbored two species of intelligent, tool-using bipeds. One of them was us. The other, long-lived and lethal, was hiding in the mountains of eastern Europe, the subject of fantasy and legend. When they emerged and made alliance with humankind, the invading aliens didn’t stand a chance. Now Earth is once again ours. Aided by the advanced tech the aliens left behind, we’re rebuilding as fast as we can. Meanwhile, a select few of our blood-drinking immortals are on their way to the Shongairi homeworld, having commandeered one of the alien starships...the planet-busting kind.

Download or read book Busy in the Cause written by Lowell J. Soike and published by U of Nebraska Press. This book was released on 2014-06-01 with total page 307 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Despite the immense body of literature about the American Civil War and its causes, the nation’s western involvement in the approaching conflict often gets short shrift. Slavery was the catalyst for fiery rhetoric on both sides of the Mason-Dixon line and fiery conflicts on the western edges of the nation. Driven by questions regarding the place of slavery in westward expansion and by the increasing influence of evangelical Protestant faiths that viewed the institution as inherently sinful, political debates about slavery took on a radicalized, uncompromising fervor in states and territories west of the Mississippi River. Busy in the Cause explores the role of the Midwest in shaping national politics concerning slavery in the years leading up to the Civil War. In 1856 Iowa aided parties of abolitionists desperate to reach Kansas Territory to vote against the expansion of slavery, and evangelical Iowans assisted runaway slaves through Underground Railroad routes in Missouri, Kansas, and Nebraska. Lowell J. Soike’s detailed and entertaining narrative illuminates Iowa’s role in the stirring western events that formed the prelude to the Civil War.
