Book Description
In the dark, rainy town of St. Ives, twenty-two-year-old Te Evangeline works for paranormal investigator Babu Cherian. The work isn't very dangerous—Te's not sure she even believes in the supernatural. But she knows that her father believed enough to work as Babu's partner, until he died mysteriously five years ago. Since then, St.Ives has been relatively quiet. But when a friend of Babu's is murdered under impossible circumstances, Te learns that the dead man was keeping an ancient power at bay, and the creature he was guarding has escaped. Now Te and Babu must track down what killed him, and capture it before it can unleash an evil as old as time. As Te's investigations lead her into the darkest corners of the city, uncanny signs point to this death being linked to her father's. Te is beginning to believe in a world where things are not as they seem—where old powers are awakening and realities shifting, and where Te may find that she herself is somehow stranger and more powerful than she ever imagined.

Book Description
Green Ghost, Blue Ocean is a travel memoir about a 40,000 nautical mile adventure that spans seventeen years. Early in their careers, Jennifer and her husband Nik come to realize that the rewards in the corporate world will always be the same--more money to buy more things, but never time off for self-discovery. When they begin to imagine a life outside the norm, they seize on the idea of long-distance sailing as the perfect way to journey down a road less travelled. Green Ghost, Blue Ocean is a story about taking time and taking a risk, about unwittingly losing your identity while simultaneously redefining yourself in ways never imagined. It is a story about the importance of starting and the acceptance of an imperfect plan. It is a tale of the triumph of conviction: if you believe that you?ll figure it out when you get there, it's amazing how far you can go.

Languages : en
Pages : 54
Book Description
As the book opens we find all species of salmon on the brink of extinction due to global warming and over fishing. Ocean Flows Book One in poetry: Surfing Essazz is written with the specific goal of raising the consciousness of society in general and school children and college students in particular. Teacher Ali Khan and his school are about to begin their journey to the fresh water rivers where they were born. He guides his students toward the famous Bearing Land Bridge where these Pacific salmon are ready to spawn. A tsunami, a torrential churning seismic force, washes the school to the pristine waters of Australia. As the salmon wash up on the coast of Australia they are confronted by Lord Wavely, the King of the Australian Coral Reef. With tact and talent Ali Khan, with the help of cock salmon Essazz and hen salmon Mathela, wins over Lord Wavely's kind heart. At the same time... Due to global warming another calamity occurs at the South Pole. Because of unusually warm temperatures the ice has begun to melt and a loose mass of ice is gathering force and gaining speed to form an avalanche. Many sharks are caught in the force of this avalanche and are washed up on Australian shores. By the time they arrive the sharks are famished and ready to feast on the salmon. King Wavely protects the salmon by using electrical storms and venom attacks to drive off the sharks. He then asks the salmon to enjoy living in the Australian waters. After a successful spawning season the young salmon become victims of flash floods and drought. Following months of struggle the others head out to sea.

Preparing the Ghost: An Essay Concerning the Giant Squid and Its First Photographer
Author: Matthew Gavin Frank
Publisher: W. W. Norton & Company
ISBN: 0871402890
Category : Nature
Languages : en
Pages : 156
Book Description
A New York Times Book Review Editors’ Choice Selection Named one of the Best Books of the Year by Shelf Awareness Memory, mythology, and obsession collide in this “slyly charming” (New York Times Book Review) account of the giant squid. In 1874, Moses Harvey—eccentric Newfoundland reverend and amateur naturalist—was the first person to photograph the near-mythic giant squid, draping it over his shower curtain rod to display its magnitude. In Preparing the Ghost, what begins as Harvey’s story becomes spectacularly “slippery and many-armed” (NewYorker.com) as Matthew Gavin Frank winds his narrative tentacles around history, creative nonfiction, science, memoir, and meditations about the interrelated nature of them all. In his full-hearted, lyrical style, Frank weaves in playful forays about his trip to Harvey’s Newfoundland home, his own childhood and family history, and a catalog of peculiar facts that recall Melville ’s story of obsession with another deep-sea dwelling leviathan. “Totally original and haunting” (Flavorwire), Preparing the Ghost is a delightfully unpredictable inquiry into the big, beautiful human impulse to obsess.
