Book Description
International crime-solvers – Spence Harrington and Ginger Martin A unique bank theft occurs with similarity to a spectacular unsolved theft at a pivotal international bank thirty years earlier. The consequences of this new crime now threatens the stability of the world’s banking and financial systems. Spence Harrington and Ginger Martin are back in action with Travelin’ Man with their next baffling international crime-solving case as they cleverly delve through intrigue and clues that lead to various exotic locations as they eliminate the real and escalating threat posed by the sinister crime which has been uncovered. Spence Harrington has built a secret international organization with one objective – to draw upon the unique and highly refined skills and resources that he has assembled to solve crimes, the solutions to which have eluded the world’s best intelligence and enforcement agencies. Harrington is a uniquely handsome man who has chosen a life of danger. His eyes suggest mischief, but also indicate that he is someone of humor, caring, strength, confidence and success with a quick smile and an even quicker inquisitive mind. He is aided in these crime-solving endeavors by his beautiful, spirited, smart and feisty assistant, Ginger Martin. Those who come into contact with both are likely to observe that they are friendly and approachable although the confident and firm manners of Spence and Ginger signal that they should never be taken lightly nor ever underestimated. Together, they share a zest for life and spirit for adventure and, known only to themselves, their lives are filled with fun-loving excitement, danger, intrigue and the immense satisfaction of prevailing where others have failed.

REFLECTIONS ON THE WATER
Author: Jan Boys
Publisher: Xlibris Corporation
ISBN: 1441576754
Category : Body, Mind & Spirit
Languages : en
Pages : 198
Book Description
Get ready to cast off and cruise down waterways that continually beckon, softly whispering: Come follow me. Come follow me. Travel along the Mississippi and Tennessee Rivers, Norris Lake, the Intracoastal Waterways, and the North Channel to name but a few. Watch diamonds dancing on the water, traverse through towering locks, spend the day swinging on anchor, listen to the chorus of night sounds and ride out a storm or two. In REFLECTIONS ON THE WATER: Traveling the Waterways with God, Jan Boys incorporates visual, mental and written reflections with glimpses into the nautical life. While water surrounds her boat and reflects the world around it, Jan filters the images through her spiritual beliefs constantly looking for the presence of God, seeking to travel the waterways with Him. Based on her boat logs, this book is not only an inland waterway cruise, but a spiritual journey as well. This is not a story to read cover to cover, but a book of reflections and meditations to explore one chapter at a time, as you search and listen for the whisperings of God. Read it leisurely. Follow along on the map. Savor and enjoy each destination. Let these reflections resonate deep within your soul and awaken your senses to the ever-abiding presence of God. ~ ~ ~ Cruise any part of America ́s coastline, inland rivers or lakes and you can ́t help but discover the special meaning natural beauty offers to all of us. Jan Boys, however, takes a very large step beyond the obvious. She borrows from what she wrote in the ship ́s log and her personal journal as she and her husband cruised thousands of miles. Jan reveals and shares with you what she felt about her surroundings and experiences and how she related them to the love and concern God has for all of us. Indeed, with each page, you can almost believe you were there with her as she discovered "reflections" that continue to reassure and comfort her. Most likely, you will remember this book not for the stories but rather for the insights resulting from this writer ́s ability to weave reality, imagination and belief in God into a convincing and compelling reason to see the world differently. Fred Myers, journalist and editor, author of cruising guides for the Tennessee River, Cumberland River and the Tennessee-Tombigbee Waterway ~ ~ ~ Let Jan and Gene guide you through a taste of the travels and adventures of three boats they owned during the last twenty-five years. Cruise with them up and down rivers, across lakes and bays, into canals and locks, on open water crossings, through the Great Lakes, and even into another country. These waterways have many faces: clean or muddy, curious and amusing, depressing and aggravating, or stressful and frightening. Mainly, however, they are peaceful and prayerful, beautiful and breathtaking, majestic and awe inspiring. Yet they remain ever changing and ever beckoning: Come follow me. See what lies around the next bend. ~ ~ ~ This is my Father ́s world; all nature rings and round me sings the music of the spheres. Jan Boys ́ musing of the heart is a song of recognition and gratefulness. Jan sees God ́s hand in every bend of the river. Travel is more than a geography lesson or a cross-cultural experience. It ́s the handiwork of God that inspires and amazes us. This is a walk with God on the waters—a personal psalm of a boater and a believer in touch with the creator. Anyone looking for a sacred passage on America ́s waterways will be both inspired and rewarded.

The New Encyclopedia of Southern Culture
Author: Martin V. Melosi
Publisher: UNC Press Books
ISBN: 1469616602
Category : Reference
Languages : en
Pages : 314
Book Description
From semitropical coastal areas to high mountain terrain, from swampy lowlands to modern cities, the environment holds a fundamental importance in shaping the character of the American South. This volume of The New Encyclopedia of Southern Culture surveys the dynamic environmental forces that have shaped human culture in the region--and the ways humans have shaped their environment. Articles examine how the South's ecology, physiography, and climate have influenced southerners--not only as a daily fact of life but also as a metaphor for understanding culture and identity. This volume includes ninety-eight essays that explore--both broadly and specifically--elements of the southern environment. Thematic overviews address subjects such as plants, animals, energy use and development, and natural disasters. Shorter topical entries feature familiar species such as the alligator, the ivory-billed woodpecker, kudzu, and the mockingbird. Also covered are important individuals in southern environmental history and prominent places in the landscape, such as the South's national parks and seashores. New articles cover contemporary issues in land use and conservation, environmental protection, and the current status of the flora and fauna widely associated with the South.
