Download or read book Hello Sailor written by Paul Baker and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2015-10-23 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When gays had to be closeted, ships were the only places where homosexual men could not only be out but also camp. And on some liners to the sun and the New World, queens and butches had a ball. They sashayed and minced their way across the world's oceans. Never before has the story been told of the masses. These are the thousands of queer seafarers, mainly stewards, who sometimes even outnumbered the straight men in the catering departments of ships that were household names and the pride of the British fleet. Hello Sailor! uniquely shows what it was like to be queer at sea at a time when land meant straightness.

Download or read book Sea Lore Classic Reprint written by Stanley Rogers and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2016-10-06 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Sea-Lore To the author who so succinctly introduces his book that we can decide then and there, without wasting any time, whether this is the sort of book that edifies us, amuses us, or instructs us. Here the writer's task should be simple. This is a popular work on sailing-ships, the sea, and sailors; in short, the lore of the sea, written mainly for landsmen by one who loves the sea and ships, not for their tragedies and their sordid side, but for their beauty and inspiration. This book aspires to nothing higher than to be an introduction to a further interest in the subject. It informs a little (to those who wish to be informed), and it diverts a little (for those who seek an entertainment). It discusses, in a non-technical manner, most aspects of life at sea and ships in the old days of sail. There are signs of a general renaissance of interest in the sea and ships, and any propaganda that can be contributed to this most wholesome trend is all to the good. Furthermore, it is not too much to say that the matter is presented in an entirely new guise. Writers are frequently at the mercy of their illustrators, for it is plain that no two minds can think exactly alike, and the author is fortunate who gets his text adorned just as he wants it to be. The remedy, then, is to do one's own illustrations, a plan which has been carried out in the present case, and if the author finds fault with the manner of illustrating and decorating the text he.

Download or read book From Cabin boys to Captains written by Jo Stanley and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This lively yet scholarly book reveals an unsuspected history of women at sea, from women pirates and daring cabin "boys" under sail to today's rear-admirals and weapons experts on nuclear submarines. Historically, women wanting to sail in their own right faced many challenges. They were rejected as nuisances and outsiders, trespassing into the male maritime tribe. Today they command cruise ships and are becoming commodores. This comprehensive work looks at both the merchant and royal navies, explaining women's progression from outsider to master"--with male shipmates as obstacles and helping hands. Using interviews and sources never before published, Jo Stanley vividly reveals the incredible journey across time taken by women at sea.
Download or read book New York 2140 written by Kim Stanley Robinson and published by Orbit. This book was released on 2017-03-14 with total page 624 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: New York Times bestselling author Kim Stanley Robinson returns with a bold and brilliant vision of New York City in the next century. As the sea levels rose, every street became a canal. Every skyscraper an island. For the residents of one apartment building in Madison Square, however, New York in the year 2140 is far from a drowned city. There is the market trader, who finds opportunities where others find trouble. There is the detective, whose work will never disappear -- along with the lawyers, of course. There is the internet star, beloved by millions for her airship adventures, and the building's manager, quietly respected for his attention to detail. Then there are two boys who don't live there, but have no other home -- and who are more important to its future than anyone might imagine. Lastly there are the coders, temporary residents on the roof, whose disappearance triggers a sequence of events that threatens the existence of all -- and even the long-hidden foundations on which the city rests.

Book excerpt: Kim Stanley Robinson, the New York Times bestselling author of science fiction masterworks such as the Mars trilogy and 2312, has, on many occasions, imagined our future. Now, in Shaman, he brings our past to life as never before. There is Thorn, a shaman himself. He lives to pass down his wisdom and his stories -- to teach those who would follow in his footsteps. There is Heather, the healer who, in many ways, holds the clan together. There is Elga, an outsider and the bringer of change. And then there is Loon, the next shaman, who is determined to find his own path. But in a world so treacherous, that journey is never simple -- and where it may lead is never certain. Shaman is a powerful, thrilling and heartbreaking story of one young man's journey into adulthood -- and an awe-inspiring vision of how we lived thirty thousand years ago.
