Book excerpt: "The journey of a thousand miles starts with one step. The journey to the front of a Central American firing squad can start with a trip to the men's room in a Chicago convention center." Tommy Conklin always imagined discovering more than his placid Indiana life had to offer. As a naive nineteen-year-old and scuba enthusiast, he is lured by a government agent into joining an American underwater expedition based in Honduras. After selling all of his possessions to buy a stake in the company and relocating to the island, Tommy quickly learns that, as the saying goes, "dark waters run deep."Arriving immediately after the 1969 "Soccer War" between El Salvador and Honduras, Tommy is quickly immersed in the unstable politics of the region. He, in fact, unwittingly becomes a central figure in several local episodes, which magnify into an international incident. Dive into Fathom to discover if Tommy survives his adventures through his sheer ingenuity and instinct, or succumbs to the overwhelming odds against him. Michael Gaff is a former PADI scuba diving instructor, having taught and certified more than two thousand people. He also assisted hundreds of Indiana and Ohio scuba rescue and body recovery team divers. His diving experiences reach from the more modern shipwrecks of Lake Superior, Lake Michigan and the Georgian Bay of Lake Erie in Canada to the ancient remnants of Spanish and English galleons beneath the coastal waters of Central and South America. A former airline pilot with Piedmont Airlines and USAirways, he is presently a corporate pilot, flying a Citation business jet. Mr. Gaff resides with his wife Debbie, dog Millie and five cats outside of Chattanooga, Tennessee.

Download or read book Cocaine and Rhinestones written by Tyler Mahan Coe and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2024-09-03 with total page 512 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the creator of the acclaimed country music history podcast Cocaine & Rhinestones, comes the epic American saga of country music’s legendary royal couple—George Jones and Tammy Wynette. By the early 1960s nearly everybody paying attention to country music agreed that George Jones was the greatest country singer of all time. After taking honky-tonk rockers like “White Lightning” all the way up the country charts, he revealed himself to be an unmatched virtuoso on “She Thinks I Still Care,” thus cementing his status as a living legend. That’s where the trouble started. Only at this new level of fame did Jones realize he suffered from extreme stage fright. His method of dealing with that involved great quantities of alcohol, which his audience soon discovered as Jones more often than not showed up to concerts falling-down drunk or failed to show up at all. But the fans always forgave him because he just kept singing so damn good. Then he got married to Tammy Wynette right around the time she became one of the most famous women alive with the release of “Stand by Your Man.” Tammy Wynette grew up believing George Jones was the greatest country singer of all time. After deciding to become a country singer herself, she went to Nashville, got a record deal, then met and married her hero. With the pop crossover success of “Stand by Your Man” (and the international political drama surrounding the song’s lyrics) came a gigantic audience, who were sold a fairy tale image of a couple soon being called The King and Queen of Country Music. Many fans still believe that fairy tale today. The behind-the-scenes truth is very different from the images shown on album covers. Illustrated throughout by singular artist Wayne White, Cocaine & Rhinestones is an unprecedented look at the lives of two indelible country icons, reframing their careers within country music as well as modern history itself.
Download or read book Muslims in Spain 1500 to 1614 written by L. P. Harvey and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2008-09-15 with total page 463 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On December 18, 1499, the Muslims in Granada revolted against the Christian city government's attempts to suppress their rights to live and worship as followers of Islam. Although the Granada riot was a local phenomenon that was soon contained, subsequent widespread rebellion provided the Christian government with an excuse—or justification, as its leaders saw things—to embark on the systematic elimination of the Islamic presence from Spain, as well as from the Iberian Peninsula as a whole, over the next hundred years. Picking up at the end of his earlier classic study, Islamic Spain, 1250 to 1500— which described the courageous efforts of the followers of Islam to preserve their secular, as well as sacred, culture in late medieval Spain—L. P. Harvey chronicles here the struggles of the Moriscos. These forced converts to Christianity lived clandestinely in the sixteenth century as Muslims, communicating in aljamiado— Spanish written in Arabic characters. More broadly, Muslims in Spain, 1500 to 1614, tells the story of an early modern nation struggling to deal with diversity and multiculturalism while torn by the fanaticism of the Counter-Reformation on one side and the threat of Ottoman expansion on the other. Harvey recounts how a century of tolerance degenerated into a vicious cycle of repression and rebellion until the final expulsion in 1614 of all Muslims from the Iberian Peninsula. Retold in all its complexity and poignancy, this tale of religious intolerance, political maneuvering, and ethnic cleansing resonates with many modern concerns. Eagerly awaited by Islamist and Hispanist scholars since Harvey's first volume appeared in 1990, Muslims in Spain, 1500 to 1614, will be compulsory reading for student and specialist alike. “The year’s most rewarding historical work is L. P. Harvey’s Muslims in Spain 1500 to 1614, a sobering account of the various ways in which a venerable Islamic culture fell victim to Christian bigotry. Harvey never urges the topicality of his subject on us, but this aspect inevitably sharpens an already compelling book.”—Jonathan Keats, Times Literary Supplement
