Download or read book The Lost Photographs of Captain Scott written by Dr. David M. Wilson and published by Little, Brown. This book was released on 2012-01-16 with total page 201 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The myth of Scott of the Antarctic, Captain Robert Falcon Scott, icon of fortitude and courage who perished with his fellow explorers on their return from the South Pole on March 29th, 1912, is an enduring one, elevated, dismantled and restored during the turbulence of the succeeding century. Until now, the legend of the doomed Terra Nova expedition has been constructed out of Scott's own diaries and those of his companions, the sketches of 'Uncle Bill' Wilson and the celebrated photographs of Herbert Ponting. Yet for the final, fateful months of their journey, the systematic imaging of this extraordinary scientific endeavor was left to Scott himself, trained by Ponting. In the face of extreme climactic conditions and technical challenges at the dawn of photography, Scott achieved an iconic series of images; breathtaking polar panoramas, geographical and geological formations, and action photographs of the explorers and their animals, remarkable for their technical mastery as well as for their poignancy. Lost, fought over, neglected and finally resurrected, Scott's final photographs are here collected, accurately attributed and catalogued for the first time: a new dimension to the last great expedition of the Heroic Age and a humbling testament to the men whose graves still lie unmarked in the vastness of the Great Alone.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Captain Finds the Key is the exciting conclusion to a trilogy that began with The Captain Takes a Wife and continued with The Captain Seeks the Lost. As the story opens, Captain Harry Richardson and his friends and family are still reeling from events that occurred when a stranger came to Choestoe to threaten Harry’s wife and kidnap his son. In some way that he can’t understand, Harry knows that all the frightening events of the past two years are related. The man who is behind it all is called “the Boss,” and he is so feared by his followers that none of them will call him by name. The deacon who killed the sheriff may get away with murder if something isn’t done to bring him to justice, but is he the Boss, or is there someone else out there who is calling the shots—someone even more frightening than the deacon? Harry is determined to find out. Then he receives a warning note: Harry read it aloud. “If you care about your boy, don’t try to find me.” Ned looked at the note over Harry’s shoulder. “That’s [his] handwriting,” he said. “No question about it. What are you going to do?” Harry’s voice was quiet, but dangerous. “I’m going to find him.” Ned nodded. “That’s what I thought you’d say.”

Download or read book The Captain and the Glory written by Dave Eggers and published by Knopf. This book was released on 2019-11-19 with total page 129 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A savage satire of the United States in the throes of insanity, this blisteringly funny novel tells the story of a noble ship, the Glory, and the loud, clownish, and foul Captain who steers it to the brink of disaster. When the decorated Captain of a great ship descends the gangplank for the final time, a new leader, a man with a yellow feather in his hair, vows to step forward. Though he has no experience, no knowledge of nautical navigation or maritime law, and though he has often remarked he doesn't much like boats, he solemnly swears to shake things up. Together with his band of petty thieves and confidence men known as the Upskirt Boys, the Captain thrills his passengers, writing his dreams and notions on the cafeteria wipe-away board, boasting of his exemplary anatomy, devouring cheeseburgers, and tossing overboard anyone who displeases him. Until one day a famous pirate, long feared by passengers of the Glory but revered by the Captain for how phenomenally masculine he looked without a shirt while riding a horse, appears on the horizon . . . Absurd, hilarious, and all too recognizable, The Captain and the Glory is a wicked farce of contemporary America only Dave Eggers could dream up.

Book excerpt: From the national bestselling author of Alice comes a familiar story with a dark hook—a tale about Peter Pan and the friend who became his nemesis, a nemesis who may not be the blackhearted villain Peter says he is… There is one version of my story that everyone knows. And then there is the truth. This is how it happened. How I went from being Peter Pan’s first—and favorite—lost boy to his greatest enemy. Peter brought me to his island because there were no rules and no grownups to make us mind. He brought boys from the Other Place to join in the fun, but Peter's idea of fun is sharper than a pirate’s sword. Because it’s never been all fun and games on the island. Our neighbors are pirates and monsters. Our toys are knife and stick and rock—the kinds of playthings that bite. Peter promised we would all be young and happy forever. Peter lies.
