Sinopsis

"Tide Whispers Navigate" explores the fascinating world of traditional ocean navigation, revealing how seafarers once traversed vast distances using celestial navigation and knowledge of ocean currents. Long before GPS, sailors mastered the art of reading the stars and understanding the forces that shape our oceans. For example, they used the sextant, an ingenious device, to measure the angles of celestial bodies, allowing them to calculate their position with remarkable accuracy.

 
The book highlights the critical role of ocean currents, which act as invisible highways across the seas. By understanding these currents, navigators could shorten voyages and avoid hazards. "Tide Whispers Navigate" begins with the fundamental principles of celestial mechanics and oceanography, then progresses to practical applications like star identification and current prediction, concluding with historical voyages and sustainable maritime practices.

 
This book uniquely integrates celestial navigation and current understanding, demonstrating their synergy. It emphasizes the enduring relevance of these skills, fostering a deeper appreciation for our planet and offering a valuable backup when modern technology fails.

Push the Rock - Second Chances...

R.W. Long

Living the American Dream at the pinnacle of his life, R.W. Long had it all: a loving family, a promising career, and a multitude of blessings. All of this was cut short with the diagnosis of an incurable disease. In the prime of life, he lost nearly everything he had worked for and felt he was given a life sentence and incarcerated in his own body—a body that no longer obeyed his commands and that would fail him in new ways daily. 
For eight years, the struggle wore him down, nearly to the point of no return. Then came the phone call in the dead of night from a war-torn country half a world away. 
“Dad, I don’t think I’m going to make it out of here alive.” 
These words set in motion the most important mission of Long’s life: Learning to walk again in order to meet his son. What was once considered an impossibility was transformed into a goal and a mission. 
Set against the backdrop of the quest for Kilimanjaro’s summit, Push the Rock is the true story of faith, second chances, and the power of family to overcome life’s greatest challenges.

Fish Town

John Gerard Fagan

"For years my life had been a string of temporary work in factories and call centres or unemployed. Approaching 30 and disillusioned with life in Glasgow, I sold everything I had and left for a new life in a remote fishing village in Japan. I knew nothing of the language or the strange new land that I would call home for the next seven years. Fish Town is an eye-opening true story that paints the reality of living in Japan as an outsider."
John's debut memoir, written entirely on his phone, reads like a book of poetry or perhaps a long text message. This gifted writer captures the experience of a Scottish man living in Japan – with humour, wit, honesty, and by all means without an ounce of political correctness.
"Periods of hopelessness and despair are perfectly blended with hilarity and hope, instantly giving off vibes of Post Office by Charles Bukowski. Fagan's delivery is poignant and purposeful, with writing so crisp it's easy to fly through the pages. Truly a book I will never forget." – Aidan Martin, author of Euphoric Recall

Jalan-Jalan - A Journey of...

Margo Weinstein

Can you combine wanderlust and motherhood? 
Margo Weinstein did. 
For decades, Margo Weinstein escaped her demanding legal practice by kayaking, whitewater rafting, trekking, and climbing in remote regions. Then she had a son and found herself in the kiddie pool on a Disney cruise. Searching for a new path, a jalan-jalan, that could accommodate motherhood and satisfy her wanderlust, she dragged her young son to the other side of the world, moving first to Shanghai and then to Bali. 
Adventure seekers and armchair travelers will relish listening to Weinstein’s exploits as she battles baboons in Zimbabwe and surfaces under a capsized raft in Pakistan. Parents will appreciate her efforts to explore the world with a kid in tow and her expat life in a villa where a python on the stairs, a scorpion in the outdoor shower, and Hindu offerings ceremonially placed next to the infinity pool and Wi-Fi router are daily realities.  
Told with intelligence, humor, spirit, and Weinstein’s version of practicality, Jalan-Jalan will inspire you to find your path and take the trip of a lifetime.
