Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At forty, Mary South had a beautiful home, good friends, and a successful career in book publishing. But she couldn't help feeling that she was missing something intangible but essential. So she decided to go looking for it . . . at sea. Six months later she had quit her job, sold the house, and was living aboard a forty-foot, thirty-ton steel trawler she rechristened Bossanova. Despite her total lack of experience, South set out on her maiden voyage—a fifteen-hundred-mile odyssey from Florida to Maine—with her one-man, two-dog crew. But what began as the fulfillment of an idle wish became a crash course in navigating the complicated byways of the self.

Book excerpt: Life-affirming true stories about the power of the ocean for transformation and healing and why it's worthy of our protection. The cure for anything is salt water: sweat, tears or the sea. – Karen Blixen The ocean is an icon of our summer holidays and a place of happy memories – and there's no wonder why. Swimming in and being near salt water has been shown to lower cholesterol and blood pressure, boost immunity and even slow the signs of ageing. But that's just the physical side. Saltwater Cure draws on compelling, life-affirming stories about the healing power of the ocean – whether it be a balm for mental health, a comfort for an autistic child, the start of a lifelong environmental passion or a path to building community and escaping loneliness. Journalist Ali Gripper shares the experiences of people who have been transformed by the ocean, including author Tim Winton, surfer and blue-health advocate Layne Beachley, conservationist and underwater cinematographer Valerie Taylor, solo sailor Jessica Watson, First Nations scientist and dolphin-singer Chels Marshall, blind swimmer James Pittar, Swim Sisters founder Yusra Metwally and many others. All speak honestly about the ocean's ability to not only provide solace and comfort, but to help them find strength in themselves and make the most of living connected to nature. The ocean, they all say, is one of our great treasures and worthy of our protection – and it's where they feel most at home. Saltwater Cure reminds us of nature's restorative power and will inspire us all to preserve the beauty of our oceans for future generations to enjoy.

Download or read book Skeptics in the Pub Cholera written by Mark Crislip and published by Bitingduck Press LLC. This book was released on 2023-04-19 with total page 235 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mark Crislip's alternative history novel explores what the present day might look like if the purveyors of patent medicines had managed to suppress the germ theory. Conflicting models of disease and cure, ranging from balancing humors to homeopathy, form the basis of powerful guilds that control public discourse and stifle discovery. Cholera breaks out in 2017 Portland, Oregon, and all of the medical guilds rush to own a piece of the cure. But an unlikely team of skeptics have heard rumors from Europe that disease is caused by animalcules invisible to the naked eye. With a smuggled microscope and a gradually evolving hypothesis, the skeptics take histories, sample, and examine whatever they can. When the guild leaders find out, the skeptics must race against time and the vagaries of the cholera bacillus itself to keep the outbreak from decimating the city.

Download or read book Lost Son written by M Allen Cunningham and published by Unbridled Books. This book was released on 2008-04-01 with total page 490 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Spanning western Europe from 1875 to 1917 and presenting a gothic historical Paris that subverts our old assumptions regarding the City of Light, M. Allen Cunningham’s new novel brings a brooding atmosphere and human complexity to an intimate and imaginative portrait of one of the most uniquely sensitive artists of his time, a poet whose odd childhood and difficult early life will both fascinate and perhaps help explain his determination to stay true to his artistic vision at almost any cost. Here is Rainer Maria Rilke in the grip of his greatest artistic struggle: life itself. Rilke’s gripping emotional drama as child, lover, husband, father, protégé, misfit soldier, and wanderer is framed by a haunted young figure, a researcher who, a century later, feels compelled to trace Rilke’s itinerant footsteps and those of Rilke’s fictional alter ego, the bewitched poet Malte Laurids Brigge. The result is an exploration of the forever imperfect loyalties we face in work and life, the seemingly immeasurable distances that can separate life and art, and the generational tensions between masters and admirers.
Download or read book Harry Hooper written by Paul J. Zingg and published by University of Illinois Press. This book was released on 2004 with total page 316 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Hooper's instinct for knowing where the ball was going to be hit was uncanny. I'm sure, too, that he made more diving catches than any other outfielder in history. With most outfielders the diving catch is half luck; with Hooper, it was a masterpiece of business."--Babe Ruth, on his selection of Harry Hooper for his all-time all-star team Through the figure of Harry Hooper (1887-1974), star of four World Series championship teams and a member of the Baseball Hall of Fame, Paul Zingg describes baseball's transformation from an often rowdy spectacle to a respectable career choice and entertainment institution. Zingg chronicles Hooper's rise from a sharecropper background in California to college and then to the pinnacle of his sport. Boston's leadoff hitter and right fielder from 1909 to 1920, Hooper later played for the Chicago White Sox, managed in the Pacific Coast League, and coached Princeton's team. When he retired from playing in 1925, he held every major fielding record for an American League right fielder. Hooper's diaries, memoirs, and six decades of letters offer a rich and colorful commentary on the evolution of the game, as well as insight into the tensions between a player's public and private lives.
