Book excerpt: Excerpt from How I Worked My Way Around the World Professor Agassiz used to tell the students at Harvard of a farmer who owned a stretch of hundreds of acres of unprofitable woods and rocks, and who concluded to sell out and try some more remunerative business. He studied coal measures and petroleum deposits, and experimented for a long time. He sold his farm for two hundred dollars, and went into the oil business two hundred miles away. Only a short time afterward the man who bought the farm discovered a great ood of petroleum, which the farmer had ignorantly tried to drain off. Every young man should look about him and see what he can do for himself and for others. Few boys are able to travel around the world, but every boy can attend school and college, and there acquire the foundations of true success. It must be borne in mind that the great things of the world have not been done by men of large means. Want has been the great schoolmaster of the American race: necessity has been the mother of most great inventions. There is power lying latent everywhere, waiting for the observant eye to discover it. Mr. Morrison's simple story should be an object lesson; it teaches that with the foundation of good character and habits, with industry and courage, the young American who is early thrown upon his own resources, can rise through persever ance and make a success in life.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Working My Way Around the World After spending some sixteen years in schools and colleges, I decided, one spring, to take a year off and make a trip around the world. I had no money for such a journey; but that did n't matter for I meant to work my way from place to place. I spoke F rench and German, and had some knowledge of Spanish and Italian. I believed that if I had to work among the people of foreign countries I would learn more of them and of their languages than in any other way. So I was not sorry that I had to start my journey with only my camera and one hundred and four dollars for films.

Book excerpt: The Anarchist Cookbook will shock, it will disturb, it will provoke. It places in historical perspective an era when "Turn on, Burn down, Blow up" are revolutionary slogans of the day. Says the author" "This book... is not written for the members of fringe political groups, such as the Weatherman, or The Minutemen. Those radical groups don't need this book. They already know everything that's in here. If the real people of America, the silent majority, are going to survive, they must educate themselves. That is the purpose of this book." In what the author considers a survival guide, there is explicit information on the uses and effects of drugs, ranging from pot to heroin to peanuts. There i detailed advice concerning electronics, sabotage, and surveillance, with data on everything from bugs to scramblers. There is a comprehensive chapter on natural, non-lethal, and lethal weapons, running the gamut from cattle prods to sub-machine guns to bows and arrows.

This book was released on 2018-02-25 with total page 396 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from From Job to Job, Around the World The pages that follow are an account of a three year trip I made around the world, starting from San Francisco with only a five-dollar gold piece and earning my way. My wanderings took me to Hawaii, Japan, Korea, China, the Philippines, Cey lon, India, Egypt, Palestine, Turkey, Europe, Eng land, Norway, Spitzbergen, Sweden, and finally across the Atlantic to America. I think the book covers a new field in travel narrative in that it shows that it is possible to work one's way around the world and do so with a considerable degree of comfort. In most instances I held good positions, met the rep resentative people of each country and travelled in moderate style. I, of course, had numerous hard ships and adventures, which I relate.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from One Way Round the World Perhaps there is no more fruitful field for the study Of types than the overland train. The young and the Old, the intellectual and the ignorant, he who has been rich, or is, or will be, all fraternize surprisingly. A little company Of souls whose lives are tangent at one point, who eat, drink, and are merry together and whose paths lie in as many directions as the Wind's. The Pullman palace cars are not all the name sug gests. Perhaps the pioneer, who crossed in '58, when Denver was seven days by stage from Quincy, Illinois, would not be so captious a critic, but the majority of end-of - the-century travelers are apt to agree with the man who said he hated to pay such a high price for insomnia. At night the sleeper accumulates such a load Of dust and Cinders that an early morning riser, if a man, is apt to be mistaken for the porter. He, however, has a fair chance of rectifying the mistake, but when the new Woman porter arrives, the women passengers may have to resort to badges for distinction.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A British car detective steers a ’36 Packard straight into a deadly world of elite family secrets in a series “very much in the tradition of Dick Francis” (Kirkus Reviews). Philip Moxton, a wealthy banker in the west of Kent, is anything but a routine client for Jack Colby, freelance investigator for the Kent police car-theft unit. Moxton is desperate for a very particular 1936 Packard One-Twenty saloon. Once, he was obliged to sell it. Now he wants to buy it back—anonymously, at any price, and soon. Because as Moxton tells it, he’s going to be murdered. The case stalls when Colby tracks down the current owner, actor Tom Herrick. Herrick knows why Moxton wants to get his hands on it—a mystery involving an ongoing Moxton-Herrick family feud, and a multi-million-dollar legacy. For Colby, the search for the truth becomes treacherous as a relentless killer gears up to strike again and again. Everyone in the shadow of the prized Packard is a suspect. And anyone could be the next victim.
