  Among Typhoons And Pirate Craft

  Anderson served as third officer aboard the Eamont. Eamont was an opium clipper built in Cowes. Eamont was involved in the opening of Japan to foreigners in 1858, serving as a dispatch boat between Nagasaki and Shanghai, and was one of the first vessels to open up a trade with Formosa. The Eamont was employed in the negotiations for the first commercial treaty with Japan. On this occasion she ran into Nagasaki and quietly dropped anchor, in spite of the fact that opposition to the proposed commercial treaty was very strong at the time. On the following morning 150 boat-loads of Japanese attempted to tow her to sea, being evidently ignorant of an anchor's raison d'etre. But though they attempted several similar methods to get rid of her they refrained from any armed attack, and, eventually, her mission was completely successful. This was in 1858, and the Eamont's crew saw many wonderful sights in that tierra incognita. The September Typhoon of 1858 destroyed several well-known opium clippers at Double Island, including the Anonyma, Gazelle, Pantaloon, and Mazeppa. Eamont was anchored off Double Island, with "150 fathoms of chain out and a second anchor backed on it at 60 fathoms." The waves in the anchorage were estimated to be as large as 40 feet, and the Eamont’s crew had to cut away her masts. Eamont was one of only two ships in that anchorage to survive the night, the other being the Hazard. (See Wikipedia article on Eamont (schooner)) ( wikipedia and david wales)

  Cashvertising Online - How to...

  The latest book from Dr. Direct™ will show you how to master online advertising and enhance your social media strategies. This is the perfect companion to the author’s bestselling book Ca$hvertising.   Cashvertising revealed the secrets of ad agencies to the masses. With Cashvertising Online Whitman reveals even more and how to implement his advice in clear-language to increase your bottom line. Most books discussing online ads teach things like: how to create accounts, how to select demographics, what options to select (video vs. carousel vs. slideshow, etc.), and other topics like maximizing the use of Facebook pixels for fine-tuning your target audience. To create successful Facebook, Instagram, Twitter ads, not only do you need to know copywriting basics, but you also need to understand the highly personal nature of the medium. The successful copywriter needs to make the shift to the highly personal “you and me” approach and learn how to sell without expressing the typical appearance of salesmanship. Likewise, a number of books teaching email marketing primarily focus on things like mailing lists, segmentation, funnels, and automation. All important stuff to be sure, but unless your sales copy is persuasive, these things aren’t worth a damn. The majority of these books spend little time teaching readers how to use the power of advertising and consumer psychology in the Facebook and email environments to cause people to actually respond—the whole purpose of advertising! Cashvertising Online is not a book on general copywriting. Instead, it examines the hidden principles specific to actual successful online ads and email promotions and the numerous and potent psychological techniques they employ that make them so persuasive.

  A Sea Full of Turtles - The...

  Everyone alive today is witnessing a mass extinction event caused by the more than eight billion humans who share this planet. At times, it seems there is little hope. Climate change, resource exploitation, agrochemicals, overfishing, plastics, dead zones in our oceans, drought and desertification, conversion of habitat to housing, farming, and industrial infrastructure—the list of impacts and insults goes on and on. We are, it seems, on an unalterable path that will continue to decimate biodiversity.A feeling of hopeless, while not unwarranted, is part of the problem. Without hope, without some belief in the possibility of positive outcomes, the fight for nature is over. Why even try if the battle is already lost?While staring the problems squarely in the face, A Sea Full of Turtles offers hope for those who care about our living world. Delivered as a travel narrative set in Mexico's Gulf of California (Sea of Cortez), at one level the book focuses on dramatically underfunded but highly successful efforts to protect sea turtles. But the book goes beyond Mexico and beyond sea turtles to look at how some humans have changed their relationship with nature—and how that change can one day end the extinction crisis.Enchanting, galvanizing, and brimming with joy and wonder, A Sea Full of Turtles will inspire immediate action to face the great challenges that lie ahead. Pessimism is the lazy way out. Optimism, it turns out, is both a reasonable and an essential attitude for us all as we fight for the beautiful diversity of life on our Earth.

  Messy Cities - Why We Can't Plan...

  Can messiness make our cities more liveable, lively, and inclusive? 
  Crowded streets, sidewalk vendors, jumbled architecture, constant clamour, graffitied walls, parks gone wild: are these signs of a poorly managed city or indicators of urban vitality? 
  Messy Cities: Why We Can’t Plan Everything argues that spontaneity and urban workarounds are not liabilities but essential elements in all thriving cities. 
  Forty-three essays by a range of writers from around the world illuminate the role of messy urbanism in enabling creativity, enterprise, and grassroots initiatives to flourish within dense modern cities. 
  With pieces on guerrilla beaches, desire lines, urban interruptions, and the inner lives of unlovely buildings written by experts from all walks of life, Messy Cities makes the case for embracing disorder while not shying away from confronting its challenges.
