Synopsis

"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.

    Never give up, especially on yourself. 
    In L.L. Kirchner’s Pushcart-nominated memoir of “resistance and surrender… [the author’s] voice is humble and self-aware” (Kirkus Reviews) as she undertakes a desperate post-divorce search for nirvana, leaving behind university halls in the Persian Gulf for the streets of Manhattan and, ultimately, a sex cult in India. 
    Between the gym her family owned and the years she’d spent in substance abuse recovery, Kirchner believed she was grounded in all things wellness. But after a tumultuous year in Qatar, which included the discovery that she'd never have children, her husband demanded a divorce. Over the telephone. 
    Fearing a return to her substance use disorder, she tries to regain trust in the universe through yoga, meditation, chanting, boyfriends, more yoga… Each brings some relief, but her painful family dynamics remain unresolved. Until illness forces her to reckon with the gift her mother had always given her—hope. 
    In a memoir that’s both rapturous and page-turning, Kirchner captures the terrors and joys of searching for radical honesty — and a second date.
