Book excerpt: Against the backdrop of the polluted Salton Sea, Investigative Reporter Jonathan Bruckheimer is challenged to prove the existence of an old, land-locked Spanish galleon that many believe is the ghost ship of the desert. It is rumored to contain a large treasure trove of rare black pearls. Things become complicated when Looney, a Native American Indian, who is instrumental to this quest, is murdered. Although the desert town of Brawley is small, the hunger for riches is great. This makes practically everyone in the community a suspect. Risking the wrath of his editor, not to mention personal danger, Bruckheimer is determined to uncover the truth. Does the ghost ship of the desert actually exist? Who murdered Looney and why?

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: WITH deep reverence I inscribe these lines, my dear parents, to you. I see you now, away beyond the seas, beyond the lands where the sun goes down in the Pacific like some great ship of fire, resting still on the green hills, watching your herds, waiting "Where rolls the Oregon, And hears no sound save its own dashing." Nearly a quarter of a century ago you took me the long and lonesome half-year's journey across the mighty continent, wild, and rent, and broken up, and sown with sand and ashes, viii and crossed by tumbling, wooded rivers that ran as if glad to get away, fresh and strange and new as if but half-fashioned from the hand of God. All the time as I tread this strange land I re-live those scenes, and you are with me. How dark and deep, how sullen, strong, and lion-like the mighty Missouri rolled between his walls of untracked wood and cleft the unknown domain of the middle world before us!

Book excerpt: The Ghost Ship Desert Where Echoes Whisper from the Dust Beneath a sky bleached white by the unrelenting sun, lies the Aral Wasteland. Here, where the "Aral-Sea" once glistened like a turquoise jewel, wind whispers through bleached bones of ships, remnants of a vibrant life swallowed by ecological tragedy. This, my friends, is the setting for "The Ghost Ship Desert," a "Aral-sea-book-educational-value" that isn't just a story, but a searing reflection of our world's own climate crisis, a call to arms written in sand and stardust. Meet the Kazakhs, a family bound by blood and by the memory of a water-rich past. Their lives, like the cracked earth beneath their feet, bear the scars of the Aral's disappearance. A young scientist, eyes ablaze with the fire of truth, unearths the rotten roots of corruption that choked the lifeblood of this land. An elder woman, fingers tracing whispers in the sand, discovers a power in her veins, a primal dance with water that defies the desert's cruel decree. And a band of teenagers, hearts brimming with rebellion, embark on a perilous journey across the dunes, a quest to reclaim their stolen future. But "The Ghost Ship Desert" is no mere tragedy. It's a tapestry woven with threads of hope, where technology like a desert nomad guides us to long-forgotten secrets buried beneath the sand. Time itself bends, whispering stories of the past that echo through the present, offering chilling glimpses of the mistakes that led to this parched reality. We become time-traveling detectives, piecing together the puzzle of what was, learning from the ghosts of yesterday to safeguard the tomorrow. This "Aral-sea-book-historical-significance" isn't content with just telling a story. It pulls you into the heart of the Aral Wasteland, lets you feel the sting of sun on skin, the grit of sand in your teeth, the ache of longing for a water-kissed breeze. You'll stand beside the scientist, adrenaline coursing through your veins as he unravels the web of deceit. You'll feel the woman's power surge within you as she coaxes life from the barren earth. You'll run with the teenagers, hearts pounding in unison as they chase a mirage of hope across the endless dunes. "The Ghost Ship Desert" is more than just a "Aral-sea-book-on-environment"; it's a conversation starter, a challenge, a beacon of possibility. It's a reminder that even in the face of despair, the human spirit, like a defiant desert flower, can bloom. It's a call to action, urging us to listen to the echoes of the past, to learn from our mistakes, and to fight for a future where the once-mighty Aral whispers life-giving songs once more. So, dear reader, if you seek a "Aral-sea-book-educational-value" that will stir your soul, one that will make you laugh and cry, rage and reflect, then step into the pages of "The Ghost Ship Desert." Let it transport you to a world on the brink, let it ignite your passion for our planet, and let it be the spark that lights the way towards a sustainable future. For in the heart of the Aral Wasteland, hope blooms, defiant and eternal. Will you answer the call?

Download or read book Desert Oracle written by Ken Layne and published by MCD. This book was released on 2020-12-08 with total page 193 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The cult-y pocket-size field guide to the strange and intriguing secrets of the Mojave—its myths and legends, outcasts and oddballs, flora, fauna, and UFOs—becomes the definitive, oracular book of the desert For the past five years, Desert Oracle has existed as a quasi-mythical, quarterly periodical available to the very determined only by subscription or at the odd desert-town gas station or the occasional hipster boutique, its canary-yellow-covered, forty-four-page issues handed from one curious desert zealot to the next, word spreading faster than the printers could keep up with. It became a radio show, a podcast, a live performance. Now, for the first time—and including both classic and new, never-before-seen revelations—Desert Oracle has been bound between two hard covers and is available to you. Straight out of Joshua Tree, California, Desert Oracle is “The Voice of the Desert”: a field guide to the strange tales, singing sand dunes, sagebrush trails, artists and aliens, authors and oddballs, ghost towns and modern legends, musicians and mystics, scorpions and saguaros, out there in the sand. Desert Oracle is your companion at a roadside diner, around a campfire, in your tent or cabin (or high-rise apartment or suburban living room) as the wind and the coyotes howl outside at night. From journal entries of long-deceased adventurers to stray railroad ad copy, and musings on everything from desert flora, rumored cryptid sightings, and other paranormal phenomena, Ken Layne's Desert Oracle collects the weird and the wonderful of the American Southwest into a single, essential volume.

Download or read book Skeletons on the Zahara written by Dean King and published by Little, Brown. This book was released on 2004-02-16 with total page 351 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: b.A masterpiece of historical adventure, ISkeletons on the Zahara The western Sahara is a baking hot and desolate place, home only to nomads and their camels, and to locusts, snails and thorny scrub -- and its barren and ever-changing coastline has baffled sailors for centuries. In August 1815, the US brig Commerce was dashed against Cape Bojador and lost, although through bravery and quick thinking the ship's captain, James Riley, managed to lead all of his crew to safety. What followed was an extraordinary and desperate battle for survival in the face of human hostility, starvation, dehydration, death and despair. Captured, robbed and enslaved, the sailors were dragged and driven through the desert by their new owners, who neither spoke their language nor cared for their plight. Reduced to drinking urine, flayed by the sun, crippled by walking miles across burning stones and sand and losing over half of their body weights, the sailors struggled to hold onto both their humanity and their sanity. To reach safety, they would have to overcome not only the desert but also the greed and anger of those who would keep them in captivity. From the cold waters of the Atlantic to the searing Saharan sands, from the heart of the desert to the heart of man, Skeletons on the Zahara is a spectacular odyssey through the extremes and a gripping account of courage, brotherhood, and survival.

Download or read book Ghost Ship written by Brian Hicks and published by Ballantine Books. This book was released on 2005-06-28 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On December 4th, 1872, a 100-foot brigantine was discovered drifting through the North Atlantic without a soul on board. Not a sign of struggle, not a shred of damage, no ransacked cargo—and not a trace of the captain, his wife and daughter, or the crew. What happened on board the ghost ship Mary Celeste has baffled and tantalized the world for 130 years. In his stunning new book, award-winning journalist Brian Hicks plumbs the depths of this fabled nautical mystery and finally uncovers the truth. The Mary Celeste was cursed as soon as she was launched on the Bay of Fundy in the spring of 1861. Her first captain died before completing the maiden voyage. In London she accidentally rammed and sank an English brig. Later she was abandoned after a storm drove her ashore at Cape Breton. But somehow the ship was recovered and refitted, and in the autumn of 1872 she fell to the reluctant command of a seasoned mariner named Benjamin Spooner Briggs. It was Briggs who was at the helm when the Mary Celeste sailed into history. In Brian Hicks’s skilled hands, the story of the Mary Celeste becomes the quintessential tale of men lost at sea. Hicks vividly recreates the events leading up to the crew’s disappearance and then unfolds the complicated and bizarre aftermath—the dark suspicions that fell on the officers of the ship that intercepted her; the farcical Admiralty Court salvage hearing in Gibraltar; the wild myths that circulated after Sir Arthur Conan Doyle published a thinly disguised short story sensationalizing the mystery. Everything from a voodoo curse to an alien abduction has been hauled out to explain the fate of the Mary Celeste. But, as Brian Hicks reveals, the truth is actually grounded in the combined tragedies of human error and bad luck. The story of the Mary Celeste acquired yet another twist in 2001, when a team of divers funded by novelist Clive Cussler located the wreck in a coral reef off Haiti. Written with the suspense of a thriller and the vivid accuracy of the best popular history, Ghost Ship tells the unforgettable true story of the most famous and most fascinating maritime mystery of all time.
