Download or read book Big Bertha and Little Mac written by Jim T. Lindsey and published by FriesenPress. This book was released on 2020-09-25 with total page 457 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “But his fear fell away and his ultimate belief in her was justified when the sun broke through the clouds at the horizon and turned everything they saw to gold, gold, gold . . .” Little Mac used to be known as Mac the Knife and his brain works hard to forget why. One night he finds himself dancing and the big woman in his arms turns out to be the one who makes him whole again. The one who makes his world speed up and slow down when it needs to. The one who gives him a daughter, the one who helps him remember and forget. Big Bertha makes sense when nothing else does. A rocky coastline known for its shipwrecks, a frigid sea, and overshadowing oblivion are pitted against a little band of warm hearts that don't know what it means to give up on each other—and don't intend to learn. Warm hearts that know where there is love there is selflessness. That there is courage through adversity. That there is ordinary magic and gentleness in living and a gentle fearlessness in death. Big Bertha and Little Mac: Love Stories from the Granite Coast slows the world down to the infectiousness of love that spreads over generations. This heartfelt, slow-moving story matched with stunning photography from the seacoast of Nova Scotia asks the question: what do you do when you have nothing to rely on but love?
Download or read book 42cm Big Bertha and German Siege Artillery of World War I written by Marc Romanych and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2014-01-20 with total page 50 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the early days of World War I, Germany unveiled a new weapon – the mobile 42cm (16.5 inch) M-Gerät howitzer. At the time, it was the largest artillery piece of its kind in the world and a closely guarded secret. When war broke out, two of the howitzers were rushed directly from the factory to Liege where they quickly destroyed two forts and compelled the fortress to surrender. After repeat performances at Namur, Maubeuge and Antwerp, German soldiers christened the howitzers 'Grosse' or 'Dicke Berta' (Fat or Big Bertha) after Bertha von Krupp, owner of the Krupp armament works that built the howitzers. The nickname was soon picked up by German press which triumphed the 42cm howitzers as Wunderwaffe (wonder weapons), and the legend of Big Bertha was born. This book details the design and development of German siege guns before and during World War I. Accompanying the text are many rare, never-before-published photographs of 'Big Bertha' and the other German siege guns. Colour illustrations depict the most important aspects of the German siege artillery.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From Norman invaders, religious wars—and the struggle for independence—the fascinating, turbulent history of a tortured nation and its gifted people When Shakespeare referred to England as a "jewel set in a silver sea," he could just as well have been speaking of Ireland. Not only has its luminous green landscape been the backdrop for bloody Catholic/Protestant conflict and a devastating famine, Ireland's great voices—like Joyce and Yeats—are now indelibly part of world literature. In Irish History For Dummies, readers will not only get a bird's-eye view of key historical events (Ten Turning Points) but, also, a detailed, chapter-by-chapter timeline of Irish history beginning with the first Stone Age farmers to the recent rise and fall of the Celtic tiger economy. In the informal, friendly For Dummies style, the book details historic highs like building an Irish Free State in the 1920s—and devastating lows (including the Troubles in the '60s and '70s), as well as key figures (like MP Charles Parnell and President Eamon de Valera) central to the cause of Irish nationalism. The book also details historic artifacts, offbeat places, and little-known facts key to the life of Ireland past and present. Includes Ten Major Documents—including the Confession of St. Patrick, The Book of Kells, the Proclamation of the Irish Republic, and Ulysses Lists Ten Things the Irish Have Given the World—including Irish coffee, U.S. Presidents, the submarine, shorthand writing, and the hypodermic syringe Details Ten Great Irish Places to Visit—including Cobh, Irish National Stud and Museum, Giants Causeway, and Derry Includes an online cheat sheet that gives readers a robust and expanded quick reference guide to relevant dates and historical figures Includes a Who's Who in Irish History section on dummies.com With a light-hearted touch, this informative guide sheds light on how this ancient land has survived wars, invasions, uprisings, and emigration to forge a unique nation, renowned the world over for its superb literature, music, and indomitable spirit.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 20th Anniversary Edition An intimate and investigative portrait of beloved Mexican American singer Selena Quintanilla’s murder by Emmy Award-winning journalist María Celeste Arrarás. Now with a new foreword and afterword by the author for the 20th Anniversary Edition. There is no doubt that Yolanda Saldívar pulled the trigger and killed Tejano superstar Selena Quintanilla Pérez on March 31, 1995. But does anyone know what really happened in Room 158 of the Days Inn, moments before the crime took place? María Celeste Arrarás has many answers, and her unrivaled coverage of the murder, trial, and aftermath made her the undisputed expert on the Selena case. Arrarás shares firsthand information about the crime and the people involved—including details of her headline-making jailhouse interview with Yolanda, who repeatedly spoke of “Selena’s secret”—a powerful hidden piece of information that she refused to divulge in the courtroom but revealed to Arrarás at length. Many questions were raised, and not all were answered until this revealing interview shed light on the crime. Why was there a suitcase filled with Selena’s clothes at the murder scene? What was the significance of the jeweled ring, adorned with the initial S that fell from Selena’s bloody fist? Who was the doctor from Monterrey who called himself Selena’s confidant and business adviser? Selena’s Secret fits together the pieces of this puzzle and depicts what really happened on that rainy day in March.

Download or read book Thanks Ely written by Rich Overturf and published by . This book was released on 2006 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First of all, Ely Callaway was a formidable leader, somewhat like a military general who provided a high profile, daring example for his lieutenants to emulate. He avoided micro managing his staff to afford them the opportunity to excel, but he was in charge, assuredly, he was in charge. The book illustrates his leadership skills from the days of his youth and onward through three totally different but successful careers in the textile industry, the art of wine making, and his greatest triumph in forging the largest golf equipment company in the world. It is inevitable that the story concentrates on the Callaway Golf Company, since the firm exemplified the vision of a man dedicated to marshalling human and material assets to bring superior products to the market that consumers would clamor for. The reader will learn how Callaway creatively used marketing tools to satisfy consumers and retain brand name loyalty. But the book is also the tale of a man with human flaws. Anecdotes sprinkled throughout the book illustrate Callaway’s laudable personal activities and occasions when human shortcomings led to missteps in his life. Finally, the book has an international flavor. The reach of Callaway Golf Company spans the oceans, and reportage from overseas media sources has been extensive. Information from those sources has been included to disclose how Callaway Golf leadership has been viewed outside the USA.
