Everyone has their own boat to sail. Their destination and route is their own choosing, but we all sail on unpredictable waters that are not under our command. Sam Phillis’s A Sail and Tale of an Emotional Rescue is a book of a man’s adventurous voyage over seas and through life. A Sail and Tale of an Emotional Rescue chronicles the thrilling and dramatic experiences of author Sam Phillis and his 30-foot Catalina Yacht and sailing sloop named the Emotional Rescue. Phillis initially preferred the safe enclosure of freshwater, but some dramatic events in his life, and the distant crashing waves of the Atlantic seawater, compelled him to set sail down the Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway and near shore on the Atlantic Ocean. Through many tribulations on ocean and in life, Phillis emerges to tell his amazing tales of daily survival. A Sail and Tale of an Emotional Rescue is a factual and humorous narrative of a seasoned recreational sailor with thirty years and thirteen thousand miles of sailing and boating experience. This book makes an excellent gift and enjoyable reading for avid recreational sailors and those wanting to leave their dormant shores of life for adventure. Some Book Reviews of Interest: • Every now and then at Savannah Connect we come across a book so unique, so individualistic, so off-the hook that it makes us smile. Sam Phillis’s book is such a book! .......... A glorious hodge-podge of an account of his voyages off the Eastern Seaboard.....Phillis’s book is hectic, a deeply personal memoir of one man’s struggle, depicted by his efforts to tame the sea almost single-handed, although a cancer patient, and a self-professed bipolar sufferer, along with going through a divorce....... Sam writes with a funny, engaging writing style and a great eye for photocomposition. ......A Sail and Tale of an Emotional Rescue takes you on what is sometimes literally a whirlwind tour of the Intracoastal Waterways and points offshore...the book is much like the author himself: warm, engaging and somewhat chaotic (there is not just one “ending” but multiple closures and endings.... .....It’s a book that despite its many minor flaws, will no doubt remind you of your own personal voyages, large and small..... Most of all, in a publishing word full of self-important, “literary” tomes of questionable human value, Phillis’s memoir is quite a breath of fresh air in your own sail. Jim M. Editor and Chief • “I honestly didn’t know what to think or what I’d find the first time I set down to read Sam’s “Sail and Tale of an Emotional Rescue”. But the more I read, the more delighted and curious I was. I found it hard to put down once I got started and felt I was along with him in the cockpit.”- Dennis N. - Reader and CEO • “It seems like Sam writes with an interested “stream of consciousness” and tells it like it really is. He will surely hold your attention and make you ask yourself, What's next”? Seems like he expanded the story in print, by adding the color pictures, but failed to express the meanings behind each shot related to a specific story. For as I know, a picture is worth another 1000 words. Where are the other stories? Maybe he will explain in his next book? More please- Suzie M. - Travel Agent • “Sam provides an unvarnished account of two coastal and Intracoastal sailing adventures, Sharing the pit falls and landfalls within his book”. “We all are dreaming about when we will do it, where we will do it, how we will do it and with whom we will do it with.” Sam is not the first to escape to the coast by boat, but the first to write about it after leaving the Charlotte Lake Norman area.” -Chip Richardson, Lake Norman Times • “Just a note to say we at the RSMAS Library, here in Miami enjoy having your book, A Sail and Tale of an Emotional Rescue in our collection. We have many materials on the Atlantic Intracoastal Waterways; charts, sailing directions, lights list and alike, but your work provides an informal commentary which complements our technical sources. In addition, many of our faculty, staff and students are sailors themselves and greatly appreciate your narrative”. – Helen D. Albertson, PH.D at RSMAS (Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Science Library- U of Miami. The Cooperative Institute for Marine and Atmospheric studies. • “The book is beautifully done and everyone seems to be enthused about the book at the signing event”. - Charlotte M- Hallmark Store. A book to be enjoyed by readers interested in boating, sailing, adventure, the outdoors, travel and challenges of the wilderness or about life itself. For readers who want to observe others as they overcome challenges and confrontations, especially engaged in by the captain and crew. The story also provides a guided ecological tour along coastal waterways and is uniquely crafted to interact with the reader’s nautical knowledge, level of experiences and personal opinions. Written with an attempt to deliberately take some of the seriousness out of yachting, as well as to include some nautical nonsense. In addition, several stories are left wide open, consequently allowing readers to draw their own conclusions. The central theme of this story is the tale of two separate, but similar journeys aboard a 30-foot sailing sloop named Emotional Rescue. Both journeys took place 13 months apart. Heading south from Little River, SC to Charleston, and St. Augustine, Florida and then to Miami was the float plan and goal. Most often, Sam Phillis sailed solo and sometimes with a crew, confronting and clashing with adversities associated with boating and yachting within unfamiliar waterways and during personal " bad times" and challenging the issues of life. A Sail and Tale of an Emotional Rescue incorporates scenarios

Download or read book Up Against the Wall written by Edward S. Casey and published by University of Texas Press. This book was released on 2014-09-01 with total page 313 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Using the U.S. wall at the border with Mexico as a focal point, two experts examine the global surge of economic and environmental refugees, presenting a new vision of the relationships between citizen and migrant in an era of “Juan Crow,” which systematically creates a perpetual undercaste. Winner, National Association for Ethnic Studies (NAES) Outstanding Book Award, 2017 As increasing global economic disparities, violence, and climate change provoke a rising tide of forced migration, many countries and local communities are responding by building walls—literal and metaphorical—between citizens and newcomers. Up Against the Wall: Re-imagining the U.S.-Mexico Border examines the temptation to construct such walls through a penetrating analysis of the U.S. wall at the U.S.-Mexico border, as well as investigating the walling out of Mexicans in local communities. Calling into question the building of a wall against a friendly neighboring nation, Up Against the Wall offers an analysis of the differences between borders and boundaries. This analysis opens the way to envisioning alternatives to the stark and policed divisions that are imposed by walls of all kinds. Tracing the consequences of imperialism and colonization as citizens grapple with new migrant neighbors, the book paints compelling examples from key locales affected by the wall—Nogales, Arizona vs. Nogales, Sonora; Tijuana/San Diego; and the lower Rio Grande Valley of Texas. An extended case study of Santa Barbara describes the creation of an internal colony in the aftermath of the U.S. conquest of Mexican land, a history that is relevant to many U.S. cities and towns. Ranging from human rights issues in the wake of massive global migration to the role of national restorative shame in the United States for the treatment of Mexicans since 1848, the authors delve into the broad repercussions of the unjust and often tragic consequences of excluding others through walled structures along with the withholding of citizenship and full societal inclusion. Through the lens of a detailed examination of forced migration from Mexico to the United States, this transdisciplinary text, drawing on philosophy, psychology, and political theory, opens up multiple insights into how nations and communities can coexist with more justice and more compassion.

Download or read book Chasing Fog written by Laura Pashby and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2024-08-29 with total page 190 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At first, I didn’t find fog – fog found me. Liminal, transformative and increasingly elusive – far from a simple cloud of water droplets, fog is a state of mind. As mist drifted through a copse of trees, turning a familiar place strange and otherworldly, Laura Pashby snapped a photograph and an obsession began. Pashby hunts for fog, walks and swims in it, explores its often pivotal role in literature, mythology and history, as well as its environmental significance. There has been a 50 per cent drop in 'fog events' in the past fifty years, fog is drifting away without us noticing and the ecological impact could be calamitous. As she journeys to the foggiest places she can find, Pashby immerses herself in Dartmoor’s dangerous fog, searches for the Scottish haar, experiences Venice’s magical mist, tell us the myths behind the River Severn’s fog and the shipwrecks it hides. It’s easy to get lost in fog, but sometimes it’s where imperceptible things can be found, including in ourselves. Chasing Fog is a captivating meditation on fog and mist, a love song to weather and nature’s power to transform.

Download or read book The Reel Middle Ages written by Kevin J. Harty and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2015-08-13 with total page 325 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Those tales of old--King Arthur, Robin Hood, The Crusades, Marco Polo, Joan of Arc--have been told and retold, and the tradition of their telling has been gloriously upheld by filmmaking from its very inception. From the earliest of Georges Melies's films in 1897, to a 1996 animated Hunchback of Notre Dame, film has offered not just fantasy but exploration of these roles so vital to the modern psyche. St. Joan has undergone the transition from peasant girl to self-assured saint, and Camelot has transcended the soundstage to evoke the Kennedys in the White House. Here is the first comprehensive survey of more than 900 cinematic depictions of the European Middle Ages--date of production, country of origin, director, production company, cast, and a synopsis and commentary. A bibliography, index, and over 100 stills complete this remarkable work.
