In the Shadows of the Trade Winds by Juliet Henry Pdf

Jean's accidental meeting with Marie has him thinking this daring lady with the green eyes is a lady of the night. His being twice her age does not stop the intrigued Marie from becoming attracted to the fisherman, who isn't afraid to come to her aid when she needs, although she knows what he thinks she is, one of "those" women. It isn't long before love blossoms and they marry. Their destiny takes them to his island in the sea, his Spanish Land Grant, where their short life together produces three children. Only one child survives to go on to carry on the family name. That child, Jean Joseph Voisin Jr., (JJ), is burdened early on in his life by the loss of his mother and his namesake Jean Voisin Sr. He is raised by his Aunt Mary's family. He later realizes, as he's embarking on manhood, life as a commercial fisherman and landowner on the island inherited from his father, would have no meaning without the love of his life, his aunt Mary's daughter, Amelie. "The Shadow of the Trade Winds" backdrop is one of the barrier islands of South Louisiana in the Gulf of Mexico.

Adventures in the Trade Wind by Richard Dey Pdf

This is at once the biography of an Englishman who became the pioneering charterboat skipper of an American yacht, and a history of the charterboat business in the islands. Morris Nicholson’s story reflects a time now all but vanished in the islands, beginning when they were neglected colonial outposts and a single yacht meant income for the islanders. In no other book is there an account of how skippered yachts, bareboats, and headboats came to sail the Caribbean Sea and became an economic sector. However it is Nicholson’s story—and his stories of others—that drives the narrative and fills it with human interest.

Hawaiian Natural History, Ecology, and Evolution by Alan C. Ziegler Pdf

Not since Willam A. Bryan's 1915 landmark compendium, Hawaiian Natural History, has there been a single-volume work that offers such extensive coverage of this complex but fascinating subject. Illustrated with more than two dozen color plates and a hundred photographs and line drawings, Hawaiian Natural History, Ecology, and Evolution updates both the earlier publication and subsequent works by compiling and synthesizing in a uniform and accessible fashion the widely scattered information now available. Readers can trace the natural history of the Hawaiian Archipelago through the book's twenty-eight chapters or focus on specific topics such as island formation by plate tectonics, plant and animal evolution, flightless birds and their fossil sites, Polynesian migrational history and ecology, the effects of humans and exotic animals on the environment, current conservation efforts, and the contributions of the many naturalists who visited the islands over the centuries and the stories behind their discoveries. An extensive annotated bibliography and a list of audio-visual materials will help readers locate additional sources of information.

Nightworld by F. Paul Wilson Pdf

This is the way the world ends...not with a bang but a scream in the dark. It begins at dawn, when the sun rises late. Then the holes appear. The first forms in Central Park, in sight of an apartment where Repairman Jack and a man as old as time watch with growing dread. Gaping holes, bottomless and empty...until sundown, when the first unearthly, hungry creatures appear. Nightworld brings F. Paul Wilson's Adversary Cycle and Repairman Jack saga to an apocalyptic finale as Jack and Glaeken search the Secret History to gather a ragtag army for a last stand against the Otherness and a hideously transformed Rasalom.
