A Sailor's Valentines Wish by Jackson Jean Pdf

Dr. Richard Larson and his wife Llyn had two dreams: One, climb Mount Everest together. That dream is crushed when Llyn is lost in a climbing accident in Alaska, and affable Dr Larson descends into an alcoholic haze. The second dream and her last request - "find our MIA son" - is put on hold while Richard battles personal demons and pursues the possibility of a fresh relationship. When a terrorist's bomb takes the life of his new love, he retreats from dreams altogether. Discovering his deceased wife's journal contains clues to the possible whereabouts of his lost son, Richard determines to find him - once again his life reclaims purpose. In Singapore he meets a mysterious woman who captures his heart. Her revelations, however, bring disbelief, confusion, and more questions. Then inexplicably, she vanishes. The journal clues lead him to the tropical isle of Thailand where VietNam/American expatriates have traditionally retreated for healing. One the Eden-like island of Raya he experiences an unspoken faculty contained within his own psyche. In a remote Buddhist temple high in the Himalayas he finds a son about to be ordained as a priest - and more. Near the summit of the mighty Mount Everest a father discovers an unexpected resolution.

A Nuclear Engineer in the Twentieth Century by Robert Kupp Pdf

How does a chemical engineer, discharged from the Navy, drafted into the Army and assigned to the Medics, get on the Manhattan Atom Bomb Project and become a Nuclear Engineer in the Twentieth Century? With a great deal of luck and a little talent. In addition to telling this story, the book is written for a lay audience, but for someone having technical and scientific interests, and wanting to better understand the development of nuclear technology in the US. Radiation safety, power economics, risk/benefit analyses, and the societal issues of nuclear waste disposal, including such politically non-touchable areas as -"How many dollars to save a life?" and relatedly - "How safe is safe enough?" - are all discussed. Mr. Kupp's anecdotes of his youth, his home life, and his 30-year sailing history, all contribute to the realism of the book and round out the story of his life to more than just a technical career.

The Amorous Heart by Marilyn Yalom Pdf

An eminent scholar unearths the captivating history of the two-lobed heart symbol from scripture and tapestry to T-shirts and text messages, shedding light on how we have expressed love since antiquity The symmetrical, exuberant heart is everywhere: it gives shape to candy, pendants, the frothy milk on top of a cappuccino, and much else. How can we explain the ubiquity of what might be the most recognizable symbol in the world? In The Amorous Heart, Marilyn Yalom tracks the heart metaphor and heart iconography across two thousand years, through Christian theology, pagan love poetry, medieval painting, Shakespearean drama, Enlightenment science, and into the present. She argues that the symbol reveals a tension between love as romantic and sexual on the one hand, and as religious and spiritual on the other. Ultimately, the heart symbol is a guide to the astonishing variety of human affections, from the erotic to the chaste and from the unrequited to the conjugal.

Restless Revolutionaries by Clive Bloom Pdf

From regicides to revolutionaries; from fascists to anarchists; from Tom Paine to Tom Wintringham, this book is a history of noble ideals and crushing failures in which Clive Bloom takes us on a journey through British history, exploring our often rocky relationship with the ruling elite. A History of Britian's Fight for a Republic reveals our surprising legacy of terrorism and revolution, reminding us that Britain has witnessed centuries of revolt. This is a history encompassing three bloody civil wars in Ireland, the bombing campaigns by the IRA, two Welsh uprisings, one Lowland Scottish civil war, uprisings in Derbyshire and Kent, five attempts to assassinate the entire cabinet and seize London, and numerous attempts to murder the royal family. This new and revised edition takes the story of modern monarchy back to its origins in the Anglo-Saxon kingdoms and forward to the reign of Charles III and includes the story of the continuing struggle for democratic rights and republican values from medieval times up to the present struggle for Scottish and Welsh independence.
