Once Upon a Gypsy Moon
Author: Michael Hurley
Publisher: Hachette UK
ISBN: 1455529346
Category : Sports & Recreation
Languages : en
Pages : 239
Book Description
Michael Hurley watched his world unravel in the wake of infidelity, divorce and failure. In August 2009, he was short of money, out of a job, and seeking to salvage a life that had foundered. Deeply in need of perspective, he took to the open seas in a 32-foot sailboat, Gypsy Moon. The story of his 2-year outward odyssey, deterred by rough weather and mechanical troubles, combines keen observation, poignant thoughts, and deeper introspection with glorious prose. Once Upon a Gypsy Moon also presents a rare and much-needed point of view on the familiar spiritual-journey narrative. It offers a star-crossed love story wrapped inside a rollicking good sea tale, but it also has something important to say to the reader about relationships, faith and disbelief, life and death, love and marriage, and what really matters.

Stay Real, Stay Gone

Pages : 331
Book Description
The follow up to the #1 Best Seller: Get Real Get Gone In 2015, Rick Page wrote an unassuming little book in response to the many people who had seen him on TV and were asking "how do you live like a millionaire on so little money"? The answer was not what many expected. The surprise success of Get Real, Get Gone clearly demonstrated that there was a need for a book that pulled no punches, and did not mind ruffling a few establishment feathers to help the aspiring nautical nomad negotiate the forest of marketing and misinformation that can often surround the idea of budget living and voyaging on a sailboat. Stay Real, Stay Gone is the long awaited follow-up and is full of information and techniques to keep the dream on track. Like the first book, it is not simply a list of useful sailing life hacks, but also a collection of philosophical approaches to help you maintain the dream of a better life afloat through simple, sustainable living. Those who enjoyed the first book will love it. Those who had their feathers ruffled, stand by to be plucked...

The Gypsy Morph
Author: Terry Brooks
Publisher: Del Rey
ISBN: 0345509552
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 417
Book Description
BONUS: This edition contains an excerpt from Terry Brooks's The Measure of the Magic. Terry Brooks won instant acclaim with his phenomenal New York Times bestseller The Sword of Shannara. Its sequels earned Brooks legendary status. Then his darkly enthralling The Word and the Void trilogy revealed new depths and vistas to his mastery of epic fantasy. Armageddon’s Children and The Elves of Cintra took Brooks’s remarkable mythos to a breathtaking new level by delving deep into the history of Shannara. And now, The Gypsy Morph rounds out–with an adventure of unforgettably imaginative scope–the first phase of a new chapter in this classic series. Eighty years into the future, the United States is a no-man’s-land: its landscape blighted by chemical warfare, pollution, and plague; its government collapsed; its citizens adrift, desperate, fighting to stay alive. In fortified compounds, survivors hold the line against wandering predators, rogue militias, and hideous mutations spawned from the toxic environment, while against them all stands an enemy neither mortal nor merciful: demons and their minions bent on slaughtering and subjugating the last of humankind. But from around the country, allies of good unite to challenge the rampaging evil. Logan Tom, wielding the magic staff of a Knight of the Word, has a promise to keep–protecting the world’ s only hope of salvation–and a score to settle with the demon that massacred his family. Angel Perez, Logan’s fellow Knight, has risked her life to aid the elvish race, whose peaceful, hidden realm is marked for extermination by the forces of the Void. Kirisin Belloruus, a young elf entrusted with an ancient magic, must deliver his entire civilization from a monstrous army. And Hawk, the rootless boy who is nothing less than destiny’s instrument, must lead the last of humanity to a latter-day promised land before the final darkness falls. The Gypsy Morph is an epic saga of a world in flux as the mortal realm yields to a magical one; as the champions of the Word and the Void clash for the last time to decide what will be and what must cease; and as, from the remnants of a doomed age, something altogether extraordinary rises.

Water Gypsies
Author: Julian Dutton
Publisher: The History Press
ISBN: 0750997583
Category : Transportation
Languages : en
Pages : 222
Book Description
For centuries, living afloat on Britain's waterways has been a rich part of the fabric of our social history, from the fisherfolk of ancient Britain to the bohemian houseboat dwellers of the 1950s and beyond. Whether they have chosen to leave the land behind and take to the water or been driven there by necessity, the history of the houseboat is a unique and fascinating seam of British history. In Water Gypsies, Julian Dutton – who was born and grew up on a houseboat – traces the evolution of boat-dwelling, from an industrial phenomenon in the heyday of the canals to the rise of life afloat as an alternative lifestyle in postwar Britain. Drawing on personal accounts and with a beautiful collection of illustrations, Water Gypsies is both a vivid narrative of a unique way of life and a valuable addition to social history.
