Download or read book The Voyage of Drift Away Annapolis to Savannah written by Dave Gibson and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2018-03-06 with total page 344 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is the sequel to The Voyage of Drift Away: Stamford to Annapolis. The first book detailed getting Drift Away in running order, the terror of losing both engines off Sandy Hook, and other amusing stories. This book is truly more like a cruising guide, but rather than detail the trip and the marinas we stayed at as other guides do, I will tell you about some of the people we met and the fun we had. Most of the folks were other live aboards, but not all. Some were passing through, and others were locals. A friend once described cruisers as a small town that moved up and down the coast. live aboards tend to stay in one place for a long time before moving on, if they move on at all. That is the fun of the live aboard lifestyle. If you like a place, stay. If you don't, move on and explore the next place. This book has a goodly number of photographs. I love photography and I hope you do too. If not, perhaps you will after reading this book. Sit back and enjoy the trip!

Download or read book The Voyage of Drift Away Stamford to Annapolis written by Pamela and Dave Gibson and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2017-11-22 with total page 340 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is not a cruising guide. It is not a travelogue. Nor is it a how-to-fix-an-old-boat book. This is a live aboard lifestyle book. It describes what it is truly like to live on an old boat, warts and all. Our adventures were made more enjoyable, and sometimes more hilarious, by the addition of cats and large dogs. You just can't make this stuff up. Our book hides nothing. It will tell you of the highs and lows, the good times and the bad, the joy and the terror, and the wonder and the boredom of living aboard. It will describe the many boat projects undertaken to make Drift Away seaworthy once again. It will relate the costs involved, and the pitfalls we experienced. If we could do it, so can you.

Book excerpt: "The Golden Bough" describes our ancestors' primitive methods of worship, sex practices, strange rituals and festivals. Disproving the popular thought that primitive life was simple, this monumental survey shows that savage man was enmeshed in a tangle of magic, taboos, and superstitions. Revealed here is the evolution of man from savagery to civilization, from the modification of his weird and often bloodthirsty customs to the entry of lasting moral, ethical, and spiritual values."--Goodreads.com
Download or read book The Golden Bough written by James George Frazer and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 1998-07-16 with total page 1123 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A classic study of the beliefs and institutions of mankind, and the progress through magic and religion to scientific thought, The Golden Bough has a unique status in modern anthropology and literature. First published in 1890, The Golden Bough was eventually issued in a twelve-volume edition (1906-15) which was abridged in 1922 by the author and his wife. That abridgement has never been reconsidered for a modern audience. In it some of the more controversial passages were dropped, including Frazer's daring speculations on the Crucifixion of Christ. For the first time this one-volume edition restores Frazer's bolder theories and sets them within the framework of a valuable introduction and notes. A seminal work of modern anthropolgy, The Golden Bough also influenced many twentieth-century writers, including D H Lawrence, T S Eliot, and Wyndham Lewis. Its discussion of magical types, the sacrificial killing of kings, the dying god, and the scapegoat is given fresh pertinence in this new edition. ABOUT THE SERIES: For over 100 years Oxford World's Classics has made available the widest range of literature from around the globe. Each affordable volume reflects Oxford's commitment to scholarship, providing the most accurate text plus a wealth of other valuable features, including expert introductions by leading authorities, helpful notes to clarify the text, up-to-date bibliographies for further study, and much more.

This book was released on 1957-01-01 with total page 6687 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For some time I have been preparing a general work on primitive superstition and religion. Among the problems which had attracted my attention was the hitherto unexplained rule of the Arician priesthood; and last spring it happened that in the course of my reading I came across some facts which, combined with others I had noted before, suggested an explanation of the rule in question. As the explanation, if correct, promised to throw light on some obscure features of primitive religion, I resolved to develop it fully, and, detaching it from my general work, to issue it as a separate study. This book is the result. Now that the theory, which necessarily presented itself to me at first in outline, has been worked out in detail, I cannot but feel that in some places I may have pushed it too far. If this should prove to have been the case, I will readily acknowledge and retract my error as soon as it is brought home to me. Meantime my essay may serve its purpose as a first attempt to solve a difficult problem, and to bring a variety of scattered facts into some sort of order and system. A justification is perhaps needed of the length at which I have dwelt upon the popular festivals observed by European peasants in spring, at midsummer, and at harvest. It can hardly be too often repeated, since it is not yet generally recognised, that in spite of their fragmentary character the popular superstitions and customs of the peasantry are by far the fullest and most trustworthy evidence we possess as to the primitive religion of the Aryans. Indeed the primitive Aryan, in all that regards his mental fibre and texture, is not extinct. He is amongst us to this day. The great intellectual and moral forces which have revolutionised the educated world have scarcely affected the peasant. In his inmost beliefs he is what his forefathers were in the days when forest trees still grew and squirrels played on the ground where Rome and London now stand.
