The Grey Undercurrent
Author: Felix Schürmann
Publisher: Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG
ISBN: 311076007X
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 626
Book Description
By extending their voyages to all oceans from the 1760s onward, whaling vessels from North America and Europe spanned a novel net of hunting grounds, maritime routes, supply posts, and transport chains across the globe. For obtaining provisions, cutting firewood, recruiting additional men, and transshipping whale products, these highly mobile hunters regularly frequented coastal places and islands along their routes, which were largely determined by the migratory movements of their prey. American-style pelagic whaling thus constituted a significant, though often overlooked factor in connecting people and places between distant world regions during the long nineteenth century. Focusing on Africa, this book investigates side-effects resulting from stopovers by whalers for littoral societies on the economic, social, political, and cultural level. For this purpose it draws on eight local case studies, four from Africa’s west coast and four from its east coast. In the overall picture, the book shows a broad range of effects and side-effects of different forms and strengths, which it figures as a "grey undercurrent" of global history.

So This Is the End
Author: Alexandra Franzen
Publisher: Mango Media Inc.
ISBN: 1633537897
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 137
Book Description
What happens when you find your soulmate, but you only have one day to live? Perfect for fans of Jojo Moyes’ Me Before You and Jill Santopolo’s The Light We Lost, comes a powerful romance What if doctors could revive you from death—and give you an extra 24 hours of life? One more day. One more chance to tell your family how much you love them. One more chance to say goodbye to friends, listen to your favorite song, throw an epic party, feel the grass beneath your feet, or watch the sunset. How would you spend your time? So This Is The End follows Nora Hamilton as she navigates her final 24 hours. She’s determined to do something meaningful and make every moment count. Enter: Renzo. Ren, for short. Strong, compassionate, unfairly attractive, with a face that makes Nora’s stomach explode into stars. Their connection is immediate, with white-hot intensity. Nora is wracked with bittersweet joy and confusion as she realizes, “I’ve finally met the love of my life… on the last day of my life.” Should she tell Ren the truth about her condition—tell him she doesn’t have much time left? How will he react? Is it unethical to allow yourself to fall in love with someone when there’s no possibility of a future together? Or is love a precious gift, no matter how long it lasts, even if it’s just for one day? What happens next is a story about taking chances, making your own rules, and the power of living like there’s no tomorrow. A moving romantic drama: Early readers call So This Is The End "a breath of fresh air," "moving and beautiful," "an amazing wake-up call," a book you'll be "unable to put down," with a story that makes you "fall in love the instant you start reading."

Languages : en
Pages : 150
Book Description
Harvey Cheyne, the entitled son of a wealthy industrialist, is thrust into the unforgiving world of a Grand Banks fishing schooner after being washed overboard from a transatlantic steamship. Initially met with disdain by the rugged crew, Harvey must quickly adapt to the demanding life at sea, learning the virtues of hard work, camaraderie, and the indomitable spirit of the seafaring men. Rudyard Kipling's evocative prose captures the essence of the maritime world, painting vivid portraits of the characters and the challenges they face on the relentless ocean. As Harvey transforms from a pampered youth into a resilient and resourceful young man, Captains Courageous becomes a timeless coming-of-age tale. The novel not only explores the harsh realities of the sea but also delves into the universal themes of friendship, personal growth, and the enduring bond between individuals from disparate walks of life. JOSEPH RUDYARD KIPLING [1835-1936] was an English author born in British India and a Nobel Prize laureate in literature. Kipling was one of the most popular writers in the United Kingdom during the late 19th and early 20th centuries, with timeless classics such as The Jungle Book and Kim.
