Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Deadly Chase on The Bering Sea Immerse yourself in crewman Spike Walker's Working on the Edge, an adrenaline-fueled narrative that brings to life the world of Alaskan king crab fishing. Set against the merciless backdrop of the turbulent Bering Sea, the book is a visceral account of human struggle, survival, and the dogged pursuit of fortune. Working on the Edge transports you to the wretched, unforgiving conditions of the Bering Sea with its icy winds, treacherous waves, and debilitating on-deck labor. More than a mere profession, crab fishing in these chilling waters stands as a brutal testament to the battle of man against nature, where every decision carries the weight of life and death. Alongside personal stories, Walker brings to light the stories of survivors from the industry's deadly disasters, painting a vivid picture of the harsh reality of this dangerous line of work. Walker rivetingly depicts the modern-day gold rush that drew hundreds of fortune-and adventure-hunters to Alaska's dangerous waters.

Download or read book Brick to Brick written by Mary Dowdell and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2020-10-27 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book does not follow the customary organizational patterns of writing. It is not totally chronological, and it is not totally topical. It is a hybrid. It begins with the history of my parents and our core family from my vantage point. It moves then to my memories of childhood through college. From there, it becomes topical in that it is written in short stories about meaningful events. Because it is written in topical short stories, there are occurrences of overlaps, which was done for clarity of detail of the memoir. There are three entries not authored by me. One from my sister who is now deceased, one from my eldest sibling, and one from my niece, Leslie (the daughter of my third brother—now deceased). It ends with some items from a collection of artifacts. Once I started writing this book, I realized that to write only about the history of our family would not be enough. It is necessary that the oversight and guiding hand of the Lord be seamlessly acknowledged throughout. I do hope you will enjoy it.
