Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As the chilling effects of La Nina lost their grip on Hawaii waters, sportfishing heated up in 2000. The results were more giant fish and some impressive new records. Billfishing data for Kona shows an upswing in big fish over the previous year. In 1999, any billfish catch weighing 500 pounds or more made it into the Kona top 100 list for the year. In 2000, it took a 551-pounder to earn top 100 honors. The list of 500-plus-pounders caught or released during 2000 includes nearly 100 more fish than the previous year. Hawaii waters produced three granders. Two were hauled from Kona waters. Daisuke Yamazaki boated a 1,213-pound blue marlin on the Renegade and Jeffrey McLaughlin a 1,053-pounder on the Sea Genie II. The third, weighing 1,070 pounds, was caught of Kaneohe, Oahu, by a trio of anglers on the private boat Kaouhu Too. The year's sportfishing highlights included an astonishing 133-pound wahoo caught off the east coast of the Big Island by Mountain View fishermen Tom Brandt and Sky Mullins. It is Hawaii's largest rod and reel ono since a 124-pounder in 1940. Bigger ono occasionally visit Hawaii waters; a 141-pounder was caught by a longliner in the 1970's, but the top catch for the state's sportfishermen in any year is usually under 100 pounds. The heaviest ono weighed by the Kona fleet in 2000, for example, weighed 89.5 pounds. Kona hosted the first Rolex/IGFA International Tournament of Champions in March, contested by 38 crack fishing teams that had qualified by winning regional tournaments around the world. With 52 billfish tagged and released, the IGFA declared the event a great success and immediately planned a return match in Kona for March 2001. A Kona team won the 2000 World Cup Blue Marlin Championship, contested simultaneously on all blue marlin grounds around the world on July 4. The winning 633-pounder earned a record $122,000 for Curt Fujimoto on Kerwin Masunaga's boat Holly Ann. The Hawaiian International Billfish Tournament returned after a one-year hiatus. The 41st running of the Pacific's most prestigious contest lived up to its name. Twenty-five teams came from five countries, and the "Indiana Jones Tokyo Fishing Club" took the koa wood trophy home to Japan. Shore casters generally own the annual title for biggest ulua (giant trevally) of the year, but the top ulua of 2000 was a 120-pounder hooked on a lure trolled on a downrigger. Dana Murphy, a 12-year-old lady outwrestled the giant aboard the Kona charterboat Hapa Laka. You´ll find these stories and many more like them in the pages ahead. The trend to normal sea conditions seems to be continuing in 2001. The year kicked off in encouraging fashion with the annual run of spearfish and striped marlin Hawaii fishermen expect in a typical Hawaiian winter with sea temperatures in the high seventies. Why is Kona so fortunate? The lee coast of Hawaii Island is uniquely blessed. Mauna Kea, Mauna Loa and Hualalai block the trade winds and provide malia (gentle and calm) conditions for fishing boats of all sizes from kayaks to sportfishing yachts. The steep slopes of these dormant volcanoes drop sharply down through the mid-Pacific depths and bring the open ocean habitat of billfish, tuna, and other offshore gamefish right up to the beaches. Prevailing east-to-west currents create huge eddies that spin baitfish into undersea ledges formed by lava flows cooled to solid rock. The result is a remarkably rich fishing grounds.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is not about bipolar disorder but, rather, what the severe mania and delusions associated with the illness can do to someone when it is unknown, unchecked, and unbridled for more than fifty years! Brian Walker’s entire life has been ruled and governed by the mania that results from being bipolar. This mania has driven him to do things so far and beyond the grade that, in many cases, his actions and behaviors seem to defy all boundaries of sensibility. Whether it’s building a two-man submarine to explore the subsea world in Fiji to inventing a toy of unbelievable success to creating a rocket to be the first person to the edge of space in a home-built missile, he has always pushed the limits of sanity in many of his projects. Even after decades of failures, where seemingly everything that he attempted to do was relegated to the trash heap of broken dreams, he always lived by the saying “Success is going from failure to failure without a loss of enthusiasm!” Trying to thrive and survive in a “normal” world with an abnormal brain has never been easy. His life has been an ongoing effort to discover the “next big thing,” as well as to just be able to get through another day. And his journey thus far has been an amazing one!

Book excerpt: The authoritative account of the rise of Amazon and its intensely driven founder, Jeff Bezos, praised by the Seattle Times as "the definitive account of how a tech icon came to life." Amazon.com started off delivering books through the mail. But its visionary founder, Jeff Bezos, wasn't content with being a bookseller. He wanted Amazon to become the everything store, offering limitless selection and seductive convenience at disruptively low prices. To do so, he developed a corporate culture of relentless ambition and secrecy that's never been cracked. Until now. Brad Stone enjoyed unprecedented access to current and former Amazon employees and Bezos family members, giving readers the first in-depth, fly-on-the-wall account of life at Amazon. Compared to tech's other elite innovators -- Jobs, Gates, Zuckerberg -- Bezos is a private man. But he stands out for his restless pursuit of new markets, leading Amazon into risky new ventures like the Kindle and cloud computing, and transforming retail in the same way Henry Ford revolutionized manufacturing. The Everything Store is the revealing, definitive biography of the company that placed one of the first and largest bets on the Internet and forever changed the way we shop and read.

Book excerpt: The chronicles of Gowa and Talloq are the most important historical sources for the study of pre-colonial Makassar. They have provided the basic framework and much of the information that we possess about the origins, growth, and expansion of Gowa during the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. During this period Gowa and its close ally Talloq became the most powerful force in the eastern Indonesian archipelago, and historians have relied heavily on the chronicles to chart the developments of this period. Available for the first time in English translation, the two texts will offer historians and other scholars an invaluable foundation on which to base interpretations of this crucial place and time in Indonesian history. This volume is required reading for scholars of pre-modern Southeast Asia, including historians, linguists, anthropologists, and others.

Download or read book Losing Earth written by Nathaniel Rich and published by Picador. This book was released on 2020-03-05 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: By 1979, we knew all that we know now about the science of climate change - what was happening, why it was happening, and how to stop it. Over the next ten years, we had the very real opportunity to stop it. Obviously, we failed.Nathaniel Rich's groundbreaking account of that failure - and how tantalizingly close we came to signing binding treaties that would have saved us all before the fossil fuels industry and politicians committed to anti-scientific denialism - is already a journalistic blockbuster, a full issue of the New York Times Magazine that has earned favorable comparisons to Rachel Carson's Silent Spring and John Hersey's Hiroshima. Rich has become an instant, in-demand expert and speaker. A major movie deal is already in place. It is the story, perhaps, that can shift the conversation.In the book Losing Earth, Rich is able to provide more of the context for what did - and didn't - happen in the 1980s and, more important, is able to carry the story fully into the present day and wrestle with what those past failures mean for us in 2019. It is not just an agonizing revelation of historical missed opportunities, but a clear-eyed and eloquent assessment of how we got to now, and what we can and must do before it's truly too late.
