Book excerpt: Two veteran railroaders begin their history with a review of the coming of railroad service to the Pacific Northwest, but quickly move into details of the construction, operation and economic impact of the former Great Northern Railway's "W-O (Wenatchee-Oroville) branch line, a line that became one of its highest revenue branches.

Instead, it is a serious study of what was required to support the movement of thousands of cars of apples, lumber, grain and minerals to market centers to the east.

Download or read book The Fine Color of Rust written by Paddy O'Reilly and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2012-09-04 with total page 294 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Set in the Australian bush, a wryly funny, beautifully observed novel about friendship, motherhood, love, and the importance of fighting for things that matter. Loretta Boskovic never dreamed she would end up a single mother with two kids in a dusty Australian country town. She never imagined she’d have to campaign to save the local primary school. She certainly had no idea her best friend would turn out to be the crusty old junk man. All in all, she’s starting to wonder if she took a wrong turn somewhere. If only she could drop the kids at the orphanage and start over . . . But now, thanks to her protest letters, the education minister is coming to Gunapan, and she has to convince him to change his mind about the school closure. And as if facing down the government isn’t enough, it soon becomes clear that the school isn’t the only local spot in trouble. In the drought-stricken bushland on the outskirts of town, a luxury resort development is about to siphon off a newly discovered springwater supply. No one seems to know anything, no one seems to care. With a dream lover on a Harley unlikely to appear to save the day, Loretta needs to stir the citizens of Gunapan to action. She may be short of money, influence, and a fully functioning car, but she has good friends. Together they can organize chocolate drives, supermarket sausage sizzles, a tour of the local slaughterhouse—whatever it takes to hold on to the scrap of world that is home. Warm, moving, and funny, The Fine Color of Rust is “a story about love: where we look for it, what we do with it, and how it shows up in the most unexpected packages” (Big Issue, Australia).
Download or read book Where The Light Lives written by Linda Cull and published by Wilara Press. This book was released on 2015-10-11 with total page 198 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Where The Light Lives is the inspirational memoir of Linda Cull, a young woman from a traditional Southern European culture which was traumatised and fragmented by the Second World War and civil conflicts, and the story of her spiritual awakening journey. Linda was born and raised in Australia, far from her ancestral lands and their brutality, but the effects of war and cultural displacement impacted her formative years through the struggles of her immigrant parents. As a teenager Linda was diagnosed with a spinal condition which caused her pain, disfigurement and humiliation, escalating her feelings of anxiety and despair. Turning to God for comfort and meaning, at the age of sixteen, Linda heard God’s voice calling her name and she had her first of many transcendent experiences. Throughout her twenties and thirties Linda experienced out-of-body travels to heaven and back, encounters with God, angels, spirit beings and the dearly departed, culminating in a profound healing of her life from personal and intergenerational grief. Acts of spontaneous inspired creativity, enhanced intuition, synchronicities, premonitions and past life visions have further expanded Linda’s understanding of reality and the interconnectedness of all life. This intimate account provides remarkable insight into spiritually transformative experiences and their after-effects, the nature of God, heaven and the soul. It is a book for anyone who has ever contemplated the meaning of life, had a spiritual experience, hoped for true healing or wondered about the spiritual survival of a departed loved one. In sharing her story, Linda hopes you will remember and reclaim your Divine connection. Reviews "Where The Light Lives is a beautifully written account of a young woman's extraordinary visionary experiences. Diagnosed with a painful and humiliating disease of the spine, Linda Cull wanted to die. Without even nearly dying, she then had a series of encounters with a dazzling light-being that transformed her life. Similar to the classic near-death experience, Linda's sense of being flooded with lessons from a transcendent source awakened her artistic imagination, which launched her on a career as a brilliant painter. Her book is a document of hope to all and should expand the horizons of human psychology." -Michael Grosso, PhD, philosopher, author of Experiencing The Next World Now "Linda's story is beautifully written and of great healing benefit. It will be a great source of comfort to many people." -Penny Sartori, PhD, NDE researcher, author of The Wisdom of Near-Death Experiences "... an open-hearted, intimate and very personal account about the content and after-effects of the many spiritually transformative experiences by the author. The reader needs an open mind to really understand and to empathise with the impact of these overwhelming conscious experiences." -Dr Pim van Lommel, cardiologist, author of Consciousness Beyond Life: The Science of the Near-Death Experience "... a delightful story of a woman who has had a remarkable journey through the psychic-sphere where spiritually transformative experiences are a way of life for her. Along the way, the paranormal becomes normal and she is able to walk between the worlds melding this life and the other, heavenly side. This is a book you will want to read!" -Jody Long, webmaster for the Near-Death Experience Research Foundation (NDERF), author of God's Fingerprints: Impressions of Near-Death Experiences "Where The Light Lives is a reminder that spiritually transcendent experiences offer us a myriad of ways to access the eternal. They teach us that we are to bring those eternal truths to bear upon our daily world. Linda Cull has filled her book with her own personal stories that will amaze readers." -Nancy Clark, International Association for Near-Death Studies (IANDS) facilitator, author of Divine Moments: Ordinary People Having Spiritually Transformative Experiences "Journeying into the Light with Linda is the closest you can get to heaven while you are still breathing." -Anthony Grzelka, psychic medium, author of Life and Beyond: A Medium's Guide to Dealing with Loss and Making Contact "Down-to-earth accessible, Linda's story is full of light, hope and hard won wisdom - a story for the soul." -Frith Luton, Jungian analyst, author of Bees, Honey and the Hive: Circumambulating the Centre (A Jungian Exploration of the Symbolism & Psychology)

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The New York Times bestselling inspirational story of impoverished children who transformed themselves into world-class swimmers. In 1937, a schoolteacher on the island of Maui challenged a group of poverty-stricken sugar plantation kids to swim upstream against the current of their circumstance. The goal? To become Olympians. They faced seemingly insurmountable obstacles. The children were Japanese-American and were malnourished and barefoot. They had no pool; they trained in the filthy irrigation ditches that snaked down from the mountains into the sugarcane fields. Their future was in those same fields, working alongside their parents in virtual slavery, known not by their names but by numbered tags that hung around their necks. Their teacher, Soichi Sakamoto, was an ordinary man whose swimming ability didn't extend much beyond treading water. In spite of everything, including the virulent anti-Japanese sentiment of the late 1930s, in their first year the children outraced Olympic athletes twice their size; in their second year, they were national and international champs, shattering American and world records and making headlines from L.A. to Nazi Germany. In their third year, they'd be declared the greatest swimmers in the world. But they'd also face their greatest obstacle: the dawning of a world war and the cancellation of the Games. Still, on the battlefield, they'd become the 20th century's most celebrated heroes, and in 1948, they'd have one last chance for Olympic glory. They were the Three-Year Swim Club. This is their story.
