Book Description
There comes a time when prudent and meaningful planning and preparation can become excessive and evolve into an impediment much like an anchor, keeping one in place! Almost always, adventure requires a submission to uncertainty and abandon of the pursuit of omniscience, taking at least, to a significant degree that leaps into the unknown. Such was the case of Salt Peter and her skipper for the duration of a year in the Pacific. Originally pursuing a circumnavigation, the journey took the author and his vessel on a seven thousand mile voyage to Hawaii, Tonga, Fiji and finally to New Caledonia, where Salt Peter met her end. It was a journey of discovery, both physically and spiritually, with a range of experience to last a lifetime. I invite you to join me on this year-long adventure and experience with me an honest, uncomplicated and enriching interaction with the seemingly endless ocean and volatile sky and discover with me the rewards of taking a chance.

Book Description
Though we are surrounded by humanity's great potential for kindness and love, we can't help but be aware of the dark side of human existence. Disease, famine, wars, social and political injustice, and crimes against the decency of man. We celebrate the heroes, honor the victims, and condemn the agents of terror. We seek justice! And within all that, we wonder why it is that humanity is so divided. Why is it so difficult--we dare not say impossible--for the inhabitants of this earth to give way to goodness? Why, indeed, is there no intervention from above? What would we risk to seek justice and defend innocence?

A Life of James Boswell

Publisher: Yale University Press
ISBN: 9780300093124
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 644
Book Description
"Born in Edinburgh, the 'Athens of the North', a Scot who hated living in Scotland and nourished a lifelong love affair with London, Boswell was biographer, journalist, laird, advocate, social lion, incurable rake, lover, life of the party, traveller, steadfast friend, endearing charmer, exhibitionist fool, and drunken sot. In this moving biography, Peter Martin assesses Boswell's literary achievements and uncovers the pulsating and dynamic world he thrived in, from the royal courts and the drawing rooms of fashionable ladies and gentlemen to the fleshpots of London's unsavoury underworld and the chambers of the insane. He also poignantly reveals a man in agony, easily misunderstood, relentlessly plagued by hypochondria or melancholia, buffeted like a straw in the wind by a multitude of anxieties and 'horrible imaginings'."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
