Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Cruise of the Half-Moon: And Other Poems The first white sail to break the hush Above the New World's dream! And on by cliff and palisade And misty domes of blue The weird stream opened wide its gates To let the Half Moon through; While Autumn spread upon the hills Her riches manifold, As if she held in utter scorn The quest for other gold. And while the Half Moon sailed and sailed, And woodland echoes called, The waters widened to the view A blue bay mountain - walled. And from the headland's dizzy crags The Red Chiefs looked below On Hudson and his daring men, Three hundred years ago! Then rugged hills on either hand Shut in the Winding stream A mirror of the shaggy wild That leaned above its dream. By day the white sails onward sped And strained the leaning spars; By night they idly hung between The silent gulfs of stars.

Book excerpt: This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1909 edition. Excerpt: ... knighted him and made him Grand Pilot of England. Edward vi gave him a pension of 166 13s. 4. by the year. Here are great honours and profits. Consider also the glory of Sir H. Willoughby who was frozen to death, of Martin Frobisher that was knighted for his search of the Passage; of Sir H. Gilbert that hath had much honour." It was these men that formed the names of his talk always; Sir Francis Drake, who sailed round the world first of all Englishmen, he honoured less, because he did that voyage for profit of taking ships laden with gold. He was for navigators only, and he debated much and often as to who it was that first found the New World in ancient days--whether King Arthur, or Maljo, or Brandon, or that Prince Madock the Welshman, whom Orsin Quineth in his chronicle upholdeth as having sailed away for ever with men from Wales into the West. And there were Danes and Frisians who said that the first to see the western lands was a Danish pirate--and the Spaniards said it was Hanno, a Carthaginian Prince, that lived in times of the old Romans. Save that he hated the Spaniards he was inclined to give the palm to I latino the Carthaginian--but always his talk was of navigators, not of merchants or ship-soldiers. He thought so much of this, that although it was the Hollander West India Company that had asked him to come to Amsterdam to lead their fleet for them, it was to the Hollander East Indiamen he engaged himself for that year. He had debated the matter with his fat wife, that had come with him to knit him garments and to guide him with advice. "Nay, dame," he said, when not very eagerly she bade him consider that the West Indiamen offered him two hundred and seventy pounds, where the East Indiamen offered him but two hundred...

Download or read book Half Moon written by Douglas Hunter and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2009-09-08 with total page 334 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The year 2009 marks the four-hundredth anniversary of Henry Hudson's discovery of the majestic river that bears his name. Just in time for this milestone, Douglas Hunter, sailor, scholar, and storyteller, has written the first book-length history of the 1609 adventure that put New York on the map. Hudson was commissioned by the mighty Dutch East India Company to find a northeastern passage over Russia to the lucrative ports of China. But the inscrutable Hudson, defying his orders, turned his ship around and instead headed west-far west-to the largely unexplored coastline between Spanish Florida and the Grand Banks. Once there, Hudson began a seemingly aimless cruise-perhaps to conduct an espionage mission for his native England-but eventually dropped anchor off Coney Island. Hudson and his crew were the first Europeans to visit New York in more than eighty years, and soon went off the map into unexplored waters. Hudson's discoveries reshaped the history of the new world, and laid the foundation for New York to become a global capital. Hunter has shed new light on this rogue voyage with unprecedented research. Painstakingly reconstructing the course of the Half Moon from logbooks and diaries, Hunter offers an entirely new timeline of Hudson's passage based on innovative forensic navigation, as well as original insights into his motivations. Half Moon offers a rich narrative of adventure and exploration, filled with international intrigue, backstage business drama, and Hudson's own unstoppable urge to discover. This brisk tale re-creates the espionage, economics, and politics that drove men to the edge of the known world and beyond.

Book excerpt: They used to joke about it. Like many brilliant scientists, Josh sometimes had trouble remembering things that needed doing in the “real” world—like buying groceries, eating regular meals, and talking to people. But he was happy to have his beloved wife, Lauren, remind him with her “honey do” lists. He just never realized how much he would need one when she was gone. Being a widower is not something Joshua Park ever expected. Given his solitary job, small circle of friends and family, and the social awkwardness he’s always suffered from, Josh has no idea how to negotiate this new, unwanted phase of life. But Lauren had a plan to keep him moving forward. A plan hidden in the letters she leaves him, giving him a task for every month in the year after her death. A plan that leads Joshua with a loving hand on a journey through grief, anger, and denial. It’s a journey that will take Joshua from his first outing as a widower to buy groceries…to an attempt at a dinner party where his lack of experience hosting creates a comic disaster…to finding a new best friend while weeping in the dressing room of a clothing store. As his grief makes room for new friendships and experiences, Joshua learns Lauren’s most valuable lesson: The path to happiness doesn’t follow a straight line. Funny, sometimes heart-wrenching, and always uplifting, this novel from New York Times bestselling author Kristan Higgins illuminates how life’s greatest joys are often hiding in plain sight.

Book excerpt: From the New York Times bestselling author of The Unhoneymooners and the “delectable, moving” (Entertainment Weekly) My Favorite Half-Night Stand comes a modern love story about what happens when your first love reenters your life when you least expect it… Sam Brandis was Tate Jones’s first: Her first love. Her first everything. Including her first heartbreak. During a whirlwind two-week vacation abroad, Sam and Tate fell for each other in only the way that first loves do: sharing all of their hopes, dreams, and deepest secrets along the way. Sam was the first, and only, person that Tate—the long-lost daughter of one of the world’s biggest film stars—ever revealed her identity to. So when it became clear her trust was misplaced, her world shattered for good. Fourteen years later, Tate, now an up-and-coming actress, only thinks about her first love every once in a blue moon. When she steps onto the set of her first big break, he’s the last person she expects to see. Yet here Sam is, the same charming, confident man she knew, but even more alluring than she remembered. Forced to confront the man who betrayed her, Tate must ask herself if it’s possible to do the wrong thing for the right reason… and whether “once in a lifetime” can come around twice. With Christina Lauren’s signature “beautifully written and remarkably compelling” (Sarah J. Maas, New York Times bestselling author) prose and perfect for fans of Emily Giffin and Jennifer Weiner, Twice in a Blue Moon is an unforgettable and moving novel of young love and second chances.

Book excerpt: In 1905 President Teddy Roosevelt dispatched Secretary of War William Howard Taft on the largest U.S. diplomatic mission in history to Hawaii, Japan, the Philippines, China, and Korea. Roosevelt's glamorous twenty-one year old daughter Alice served as mistress of the cruise, which included senators and congressmen. On this trip, Taft concluded secret agreements in Roosevelt's name. In 2005, a century later, James Bradley traveled in the wake of Roosevelt's mission and discovered what had transpired in Honolulu, Tokyo, Manila, Beijing and Seoul. In 1905, Roosevelt was bully-confident and made secret agreements that he though would secure America's westward push into the Pacific. Instead, he lit the long fuse on the Asian firecrackers that would singe America's hands for a century.

Book excerpt: There are those among us whose mental capacity is so evolved that they are able to tap into abilities that are beyond this world. Often diagnosed as autistic, these medical marvels have led quiet lives, ignored by science. Until now. One by one, these special "Indigo children" are disappearing and turning up dead. Now a boy handcuffed in a basement awaits his turn while two predators fulfill a mission for a madman. Caring for her own autistic brother, FBI agent Carin Barnes is driven to find the missing boy and hunt down his abductors—psychic twins Adam and Evie. At the command of their father, the pair are collecting children for torturous experiments he believes will lead to the evolution of the human race. But in order to succeed, they need one powerful element…something that Carin and her brother possess…matter that elevates some minds to the highest levels of intelligence—and drags others to the deepest pits of hell.
