"Ships Grounded" explores the captivating world of maritime disasters, focusing on the historical and environmental factors behind shipwrecks. It examines how human ambition, unpredictable weather, and navigational challenges have led to vessels meeting their demise on treacherous shores. Each shipwreck is presented as a tangible artifact, offering insights into past maritime practices, technological advancements, and the complex relationship between humanity and the sea.

 
The book is structured into sections that build upon each other, beginning with an introduction to naval architecture and maritime navigation. It then progresses into case studies of specific geographical regions and eras, analyzing significant groundings and the circumstances surrounding them.

 
The book uniquely connects these historical events to modern-day challenges, such as environmental preservation and the sustainable management of coastal resources, emphasizing the importance of learning from maritime tragedies to improve contemporary seafaring practices. Grounded ships are a part of the oceans' history and should be treated with respect.

Thrilling Cities - Fourteen...

Ian Fleming

A CAPTIVATING JOURNEY AROUND THE WORLD FROM THE CREATOR OF JAMES BOND 
Ian Fleming’s world travels and interests, as well as his journalism and wartime experiences, lent authority to everything he wrote. In 1959, the Sunday Times commissioned Fleming to write a series of dispatches from the world’s most beguiling locales. The result was Thrilling Cities, a masterpiece of well-observed travelogue that stands ably alongside the author’s Bond canon. 
From Hong Kong to Honolulu, New York to Naples, he left the bright main streets for the back alleys, abandoning tourist sites in favor of underground haunts, and mingling with celebrities, gangsters and geishas. The result is a series of vivid snapshots of a mysterious, vanished world from a twentieth century Western perspective. 
Just like his most famous fictional creation, Ian Fleming was a well-traveled man of the world who knew where to go to find excitement, adventure…and danger. In Thrilling Cities, he takes us along on a journey of international intrigue worthy of James Bond.

Falling Uphill - One man’s quest...

Scott Stoll

* New 10th Anniversary Edition of the best-selling travel memoir.
* 2018 Indie Book Award for Memoir (Personal Struggle).
* Re-live Falling Uphill with a new afterword that paints the journey in a light that only time can tell.
* New bonus chapters.
In one week, Scott Stoll lost his job, his best friend, his girlfriend and his confidence. Disillusioned with society, full of angst, suffering from depression and with nothing left to lose Stoll asked himself a question: "If I only have one life, one chance, if I could do anything, what would I do?"
His answer resulted in a 4-year and 25,752-mile odyssey around the world by bicycle using nothing more than a paper map as a guide. Stoll searched for answers to the great mysteries of life, vowing to find happiness or die trying. The quest wasn't easy. He was imprisoned, held hostage, mugged, run over, suspected of terrorism, accused of espionage, nearly trampled by elephants, wounded, diseased, heartbroken – he nearly died a dozen times. But more importantly, Stoll discovered the wonders of the world, kindness among strangers, the meaning of life, peace, love, faith and – Yes! – in the last place left to look, he found happiness.
Re-live and re-imagine an archetypal adventure as a man stumbles through moments of pure survival and moments of pure enlightenment.
"Stoll... is at once charming, innocent, fearless, and wise in his search for the world and himself. What does he find? Joy, tranquility, no end of personal challenges, and a whole lot more." ~ Larry Habegger, Executive Editor, Travelers’ Tales
