Book excerpt: “If Stephen King set out to rewrite The Waste Land as a novel, the result might resemble Glimmering.” —The Washington Post Climate change, rampant viruses, blackouts, fundamentalists—the end of the end has arrived. Glimmering, the 1994 dystopian novel by Nebula and World Fantasy Award–winning author Elizabeth Hand, is now timelier than ever. When the confluence of a solar storm and the collapse of the Antarctic ice shelf ignites the atmosphere like grease, those who are able hide behind their walls and masks, seeking the promise of a seductive—and dangerous—future. As the earth erupts in flames, department store heir and editor Jack Finnegan faces his own inevitable death from AIDS in his family’s decrepit mansion near the Hudson River—that is, until an old friend offers him a miraculous cure . . . Christian singer Trip Marlowe has found worldwide success, but the dynamic rock star retains his strict morality and faith. Temptation comes in the form of a mysterious blond waif and IZE, a new drug more addictive than crack and heroin . . . The two men will find themselves on a bizarre collision course as a dark and powerful force seeks to shape what’s left of humanity’s consciousness. “A brutal vision of Apocalypse . . . Hand’s powerful vision of these days of wrath is not so much a protracted self-pitying whisper as a Nietzschean insistence on salvation through creative evolution.” —Publishers Weekly, starred review “[A] wild, psychedelic, thoughtful thriller . . . Another dynamite read!” —The Des Moines Register

Download or read book The Rise and Demise of the Largest Sailing Ships written by Allan Wood and published by Seaside New England Publishing. This book was released on 2023-08-10 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At the height of the “Golden Age of Sail” in the early 1900s, New England shipbuilders fiercely competed to design and construct the world’s largest sailing ships to carry massive amounts of coal and building materials as America expanded. Ten original six-masted schooners and the only seven-masted sailing ship, the giant Thomas W. Lawson, were built in New England between 1900-1909, all measuring over the length of a football field! This book brings to life the many challenges these magnificent vessels faced during their voyages in an era of social, economic, and political reforms. It provides the historical accounts that followed each ship, like competitions, accidents, battling devastating storms, acts of heroism, and their final voyages. These true stories are balanced with plenty of color and vintage images, famous paintings, and colorful maps, making this an excellent resource for anyone interested in New England maritime history.
Download or read book The Edge of Maine written by Geoffrey Wolff and published by National Geographic Society. This book was released on 2005 with total page 234 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "A sailor himself, Wolff celebrates the harbors, reaches, and coves of a cruising ground that's among the world's finest, and summons the maritime spirit of a region whose yards once dominated American shipbuilding, a tradition still observed both by craftsmen who preserve the art of wooden boatbuilding and by the crews of the Bath Iron Works, which outfits some of our Navy's most advanced ships. He also introduces such Mainers as the canny 19th-century entrepreneur whose business cutting ice from the frozen Kennebec River became a lucrative global industry."--BOOK JACKET.
