Sinossi

'Adrift On The Sea' offers a comprehensive exploration of maritime survival through the lens of real-life cases and scientific research, examining what it truly takes to survive when stranded on the open ocean. The book masterfully weaves together three crucial aspects of sea survival: the body's physical responses to extreme maritime conditions, the psychological battles faced by survivors, and the practical techniques that can mean the difference between life and death at sea.

 
Drawing from historical records and modern scientific understanding, the book analyzes remarkable survival stories, including Steven Callahan's 1982 ordeal and Jose Salvador Alvarenga's 2014 Pacific crossing. These compelling accounts serve as practical demonstrations of the book's central argument: that survival at sea depends on the intricate relationship between preparation, knowledge, and adaptability.

 
The text thoughtfully balances academic rigor with accessibility, presenting complex concepts through a combination of analytical insights and narrative examples. The book progresses logically from fundamental survival theory to practical applications, covering essential topics like emergency preparedness, navigation, water procurement, and rescue protocols.

 
What sets this work apart is its multidisciplinary approach, incorporating insights from marine biology, meteorology, and psychology to create a holistic understanding of maritime survival. Each chapter concludes with practical exercises and checklists, making it an invaluable resource for both maritime professionals and adventure enthusiasts interested in understanding the challenges and strategies of ocean survival.

    This memoir of buying and transforming an abandoned olive farm “describes life in the South of France with lush, voluptuous appreciation” (Publishers Weekly). Presented with an opportunity to purchase a ten-acre property near Cannes, actress Carol Drinkwater and her film-producer fiancé, Michel, decide to take the plunge. It will take all their savings just for the down payment, but the beauty of the surrounding countryside and the promise of a new adventure seem worth the risk. As they work to clear the weeds and rehabilitate the abandoned farm, they meet Provence’s quirky locals, puzzle through France’s legal bureaucracy, explore the nearby Mediterranean islands, and encounter the region’s wildlife. This colorful memoir from the Sunday Times–bestselling author recounts one couple’s remarkable journey from being inspired but inexperienced new landowners to realizing their dream of a fulfilling, peaceful life on their own little plot of paradise. “Good-humored and well-written.” —The Washington Post “A fantasy come true, as it will be for many of the readers who yearn to experience the magic of southern France.” —The Austin Chronicle

    The delightfully comic account of a British couple and their imported cats starting over in a new country continues in Bucket to Greece Volume 2. It is now three months since Victor and Marigold moved to the mountain village of Meli, developing new friendships and marking their life-changing move with a traditional house blessing ceremony. Victor integrates into village life and improves his language skills by helping out at the local taverna, after sanitizing the place to his exacting hygiene standards. Barry's budding romance with Cynthia continues apace, whilst Marigold turns to a spot of matchmaking, arranging a dinner party for Meli's eligible bachelors and her best friend Geraldine who is over for a visit. 
     
     
     
    Following a late night brawl, Guzim goes on the missing list, creating a quandary for Victor as he contemplates the wisdom of bringing the disappearance of an illegal Albanian to the attention of the authorities. Victor experiences the ups of and downs of everyday Greek life; the up of the novelty of a sea dip in December even though the locals consider such behavior quite bizarre, and the down of being forced out of bed on a cold windy morning to bake bread for the village in an outside oven. As Victor settles into his new life he is haunted by the specter of his absconded parent turning up on his doorstep.

    A bicycling and travel audio-book like no other. It offers an entertaining and inspirational listen for all audiences. It tells the story of a 66-year-old grandfather who has never ridden a bicycle for more than a few miles at a time and sets out to ride a bicycle from one coast of the United States to the other. He does this ride by himself with no one along for company and no one following along when things go wrong. It recounts the dangers, trials, tribulations, fatigue, and despondency he endures. It also sings with the joy and exuberance only an exciting adventure can bring forth. 
    While the audio-book is a travel log of captivating sites and wonderful people from the Pacific to the Atlantic, it is so much more. It touches on stories of many women and men (both African, Native and European American) and the challenges they faced which helped shape the country he crosses. As such, it is a bit of a story about America. It also includes a few of the author’s own life challenges which help in understanding what got him into and through this ride.
