Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Toilers in the Sea T may as well be confessed at once that the first suggestion of this volume was derived from a perusal of the Rev. J. G. Wood's entertaining Homes without Hands, strengthened by the ob servation that he had left the Homes included herein practically unnoticed, and that therefore the subject was still open for treatment. In some respects the animals are not so attractive, or interest ing, as those with which the above-named volume is illustrated, but the homes are not less remarkable, and a brief summary of their structure and archi tecture, with a few details of the builders, may not be less acceptable to lovers of nature.

Download or read book Builders of the Pacific Coast written by Lloyd Kahn and published by Shelter Publications, Inc.. This book was released on 2008 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "In 2004, Lloyd Kahn discovered a group of unique carpenters along the Pacific Coast of North America. Over a two-year period, he made four trips north from his home in the San Francisco Bay Area, up the coast, shooting the photos that appear in this book." "To preserve homeowners' privacy, specific locations are not given, but suffice to say this book focuses on the Pacific Coast north from San Francisco up to and around Vancouver Island, British Columbia, latitudes 37 to 49 degrees." "There's been a vortex of creative carpentry energy in this part of the world over the last 30 years. Many of the builders shown here got started in the countercultural era of the '60s and '70s, and their work has never been shown in books or magazine articles."--BOOK JACKET.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Chronicles of the Builders of the Commonwealth, Vol. 5: Historical Character Study Migration had been stayed by the sea at the west ern world's end, to drop to minor movements confined within circuitous areas. The indented outline of Europe favored intercourse by water, but the progress of navigation was slow, long depending on oared gal leys, with only a partial use Of sails, and the compass still unknown. Hence, seamen skirted the coasts, as for example the Phoenicians, on the way to their Ultima Thule, and round the dark continent. The vikings on their depredatory tours struck across the deep with a certain boldness into the North sea, or Mediterranean, or even to America.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Ship-Builders Complete Guide: Comprehending the Theory and Practice of Naval Architecture, With Its Modern Improvements The navy of England does not date its origin prior to the time of our Saxon ancestors. It is now, however, the best defence for our sea girt shores. The navy may indeed be considered as the natural strength of the British empire, nor need we apprehend any danger from foreign invasion while Britain retains the sovereignty of the seas. To ensure this important desideratum, the art of ship-building must receive that assistance from theoretical science, without which, foreign navies will ultimately excel us on our own peculiar element.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Young Shipbuilders of Elm Island The natural progress of this series has brought us to a period in the history of our young friends, when, instead of labors in a measure voluntary, pursued at home, amid home comforts, they toil tor exacting masters or the public, enter into competition with others, feel the pressure of re sponsibility, learn submission, and are tied down to rigid rules and severe tasks. The manner in which they meet and sustain these new and trying relations shows the stuff they are made of; that the fear of God in a young heart is a shield in the hour' of temptation, the foundation of true courage, and the strongest incentive to manly effort; that he who does the best for his.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Brassbounder: A Tale of the Sea To-day the weather, that has been fine since we left New York, has thickened. The brisk north wind that kept the sea-line clear died away to fitful airs during the night. Fog has dosed in on us and we go slowly, blindly, - tapping our way by soundings of the depths, - over the undersea ridges and gullies that lead on to Cape Race. Since an hour before daybreak we have seen nothing, heard nothing, of sea-neighbours or of the world beyond the limits of our bulwarks. The horizon, - blurred indefinite circle of a ship's length, - shows little sign of expanding to the hard blue division of sea and sky that is at present chiefly our desire. North Atlantic weather! Nine months winter and three months fog! Monotonous in its persistence, the fog has yet a certain quality of variety. With the passing of a fine quiet night, came dense cloudy vapours that hung closely to the ship, shrouding the decks and upperworks in an impenetrable pall.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Old Sea Wings, Ways, and Words: In the Days of Oak and Hemp It was in December, 1884, that I received the following kind words of encouragement from Mr. Ruskin, about some sketches and notes upon old ships, boats, sails, and rigging: - "My dear Leslie, I never saw anything half so delightful or useful as these compared sails so easily explained. Do set yourself at this with all your mind and time on this plan. It will be the most refreshing thing to me to take it up with you I could possibly have. Ever your grateful, J. Ruskin." Since then, I have been collecting material, and working in this same direction; and in 1887 I sent an illustrated article to Messrs. Harper Brothers, which appeared in the August number of their magazine for that year. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: The Magnificent Seven meets The Wind in the Willows in this action-packed fantasy adventure from Daniel Polansky, The Builders. A missing eye. A broken wing. A stolen country. The last job didn't end well. Years go by, and scars fade, but memories only fester. For the animals of the Captain's company, survival has meant keeping a low profile, building a new life, and trying to forget the war they lost. But now the Captain's whiskers are twitching at the idea of evening the score. PRAISE FOR THE BUILDERS "A living, breathing world of vivid, winsome characters hellbent on their blaze of glory and as unforgiving as a runaway train carrying all your friends over a cliff. I haven't cared about animals this much since Watership Down." — Delilah S. Dawson, author of Hit and Wicked as They Come "Nobody does dark like Polansky. The Builders is Redwall meets Unforgiven, combining the endearing wit of Disney's Robin Hood with all the grit and violence of a spaghetti western." — Myke Cole, author of the Shadow Ops series At the Publisher's request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management Software (DRM) applied.
Download or read book Tiny Houses and Their Builders Classic Reprint written by Elizabeth Anna Hart and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-05-28 with total page 198 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Tiny Houses and Their Builders I shall talk to you about a great many birds. I shall take you into distant lands, and even on to the sea, and tell you many curious and interesting things; but there are few birds more curious and interesting than our own little swallows, and I intend to begin with them. I call them our own swallows, for, though I have heard people say that they are selfish; because they only visit us to enjoy the sweet summer-time, and forsake us in the winter, I do not agree with them. Swallows are not visitors; they build their nests here, and it is here that they rear their young; and if they leave us in the winter, it is only because, like some of ourselves, they cannot live in a cold climate, and so they very wisely take their dear little families away for the months that it would not agree with their constitutions to spend here, making their appearance among us again early in April, and not flying off till the end of September, or, in mild seasons, the middle of October.
