Into the Raging Sea by Rachel Slade Pdf

WINNER OF THE MAINE LITERARY AWARD FOR NON FICTION NATIONAL BESTSELLER A NEW YORK TIMES NOTABLE BOOK AN NPR BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR ONE OF JANET MASLIN’S MUST-READ BOOKS OF THE SUMMER A NEW YORK TIMES EDITOR'S CHOICE ONE OF OUTSIDE MAGAZINE’S BEST BOOKS OF THE SUMMER ONE OF AMAZON'S BEST NONFICTION BOOKS OF THE YEAR SO FAR “A powerful and affecting story, beautifully handled by Slade, a journalist who clearly knows ships and the sea.”—Douglas Preston, New York Times Book Review “A Perfect Storm for a new generation.” —Ben Mezrich, bestselling author of The Accidental Billionaires: The Founding of Facebook On October 1, 2015, Hurricane Joaquin barreled into the Bermuda Triangle and swallowed the container ship El Faro whole, resulting in the worst American shipping disaster in thirty-five years. No one could fathom how a vessel equipped with satellite communications, a sophisticated navigation system, and cutting-edge weather forecasting could suddenly vanish—until now. Relying on hundreds of exclusive interviews with family members and maritime experts, as well as the words of the crew members themselves—whose conversations were captured by the ship’s data recorder—journalist Rachel Slade unravels the mystery of the sinking of El Faro. As she recounts the final twenty-four hours onboard, Slade vividly depicts the officers’ anguish and fear as they struggled to carry out Captain Michael Davidson’s increasingly bizarre commands, which, they knew, would steer them straight into the eye of the storm. Taking a hard look at America's aging merchant marine fleet, Slade also reveals the truth about modern shipping—a cut-throat industry plagued by razor-thin profits and ever more violent hurricanes fueled by global warming. A richly reported account of a singular tragedy, Into the Raging Sea takes us into the heart of an age-old American industry, casting new light on the hardworking men and women who paid the ultimate price in the name of profit.

Awarded a career challenge she can't resist, Sydney-based journalist Peta McKenna is not about to let a cantankerous, reclusive author or a deadly tropical cyclone obstruct her from securing a prestigious interview. But the storm outside is nothing compared to the one that greets her when the author relents and provides an escape from nature's fury. Nor does she expect the desire he awakens. Stewart Fletcher is an acclaimed author with a fierce distrust of the media and women in general. When he sees who's at his door, he refuses to let the female journalist anywhere near him. After two disastrous failed marriages, he's not about to let a woman twist his words ever again. Even if there's an instant attraction, and the woman's insane enough to brave a cyclone and invade his private retreat just to meet him. After a wild night together that has nothing to do with the raging storm, and the interview secured, the reality of the situation hits them. Never mind the unlikelihood that a long-distance relationship could work. Stewart's sworn never to fall for a career woman again. Peta's determined to make her mark on the journalism world just like her famous father. And no man is going to come between her and her dreams. Are they crazy to consider pursuing a romance?

Calming the Raging Storm by David Barton Pdf

"Calming The Raging Storm" is a hard-hitting, no-nonsense assault on the problem of human suffering. It doesn't try to explain pain away, or urge the reader to "grin and bear it." It recognizes suffering for what it fundamentally is: evil. This book is written for those struggling with pain and misfortune, those at the raw limits of endurance, those at the bottom of the pit with no apparent way out. Instead of burying the reader under an avalanche of platitudes, or demonstrating that suffering has some sublime purpose, "Calming the Raging Storm" comes to the rescue with understanding and compassion. It takes on the personality of a fellow traveler, a friend (seasoned by the same suffering) who joins the afflicted at the bottom of the pit and says, "You're right. Suffering is cruel; it shouldn't be happening to you But let's see what we can do about it." The book is written in a warm, conversational style, posing as many questions as answers. To put human suffering in its proper perspective the book begins with an interesting observation. The average human life consists of approximately 400,000 waking hours. How many of them are happy, how many sad, how many pleasant, how many painful? Most people think that the happy times far outnumber the sad. If so, why do people so quickly forget the blessings and focus on the curses? "Calming the Raging Storm" follows up with another question. "Of the 100 billion humans who anthropologists say have already lived and passed out of this world, how many enjoyed lives without the slightest suffering and pain? None of them, right? If so, why did they and why do more than six billion people now living on this earth dream that there must be such a perfect life? Why is it that people are never satisfied with what they know, craving more and more knowledge, almost fretful that they've been cheated out of something? Why are the rich and powerful never really happy? Why is one million or a hundred million of anything never enough? Why are the castles and villas and mansions and penthouses and Mediterranean yachts filled with people who "have it all" but sigh, "Not enough." How can the playboys and playgirls gorge themselves on every conceivable form of wealth and bodily pleasure, and still moan (with Peggy Lee), "Is that all there is? Is that all there is?" Why are there so many suicides among those who have so much?" The author, David Barton, then analyzes society's futile yearning for the perfect life. Mankind, he says, has always claimed happiness as an unconditional right, and rebelled against misery (even against joys that are "not enough") as a violent assault on that right. Embedded in each human heart is the conviction that there was a time, deep in the past, when such an ideal life actually existed. Philosophers and anthropologists struggle with the possibility of a "golden age," an age which somehow evaporated, so long ago that humans can't remember that it happened. Poets talk of angelic ancestors falling from great heights, into the present world of "not enough." Whatever the philosophers and poets say about ages past, the book concludes, people now living out their lives in the world have surrendered to a type of cynical pragmatism. Yes, something's wrong. Yes, they've been cheated out of Utopia. Yes, life is cruel, but life is life, life is reality, and only fools refuse to come to grips with it. Like it or not, they say, every human life has its fair share of limitations and pain. As long as the bad times are bearable, humanity can cope. "Into each life," they croon, "some rain must fall." So, humanity copes... But then comes the "Raging Storm." Sooner or later, the book observes, the inevitable happens. Some terrible misfortune strikes, something which turns their lives into unbearable suffering. These are the times when humanity revolts. "It isn't fair," they sigh,

Into the Storm by Tristram Korten Pdf

“An intense, immersive deep dive into a wild, dangerous, and unknown world, written with the pace and appeal of a great thriller. This is nonfiction at its very best.”—Lee Child The true story of two doomed ships and a daring search-and-rescue operation that shines a light on the elite Coast Guard swimmers trained for the most dangerous ocean missions In late September 2015, Hurricane Joaquin swept past the Bahamas and swallowed a pair of cargo vessels in its destructive path: El Faro, a 790-foot American behemoth with a crew of thirty-three, and the Minouche, a 230-foot freighter with a dozen sailors aboard. From the parallel stories of these ships and their final journeys, Tristram Korten weaves a remarkable tale of two veteran sea captains from very different worlds, the harrowing ordeals of their desperate crews, and the Coast Guard’s extraordinary battle against a storm that defied prediction. When the Coast Guard received word from Captain Renelo Gelera that the Minouche was taking on water on the night of October 1, the servicemen on duty helicoptered through Joaquin to the sinking ship. Rescue swimmer Ben Cournia dropped into the sea—in the middle of a raging tropical cyclone, in the dark—and churned through the monstrous swells, loading survivors into a rescue basket dangling from the helicopter as its pilot struggled against the tempest. With pulsating narrative skill in the tradition of Sebastian Junger and Jon Krakauer, Korten recounts the heroic efforts by Cournia and his fellow guardsmen to haul the Minouche’s crew to safety. Tragically, things would not go as well for Captain Michael Davidson and El Faro. Despite exhaustive searching by her would-be rescuers, the loss of the vessel became the largest U.S. maritime disaster in decades. As Korten narrates the ships’ fates, with insights drawn from insider access to crew members, Coast Guard teams, and their families, he delivers a moving and propulsive story of men in peril, the international brotherhood of mariners, and the breathtaking power of nature. Praise for Into the Storm “The story [Tristram] Korten tells is impressively multifaceted, exploring everything from timely issues such as climate change to timeless themes such as man’s struggle against the ocean’s fury.”—Miami New Times “Into the Storm is a triumph of reporting and you-are-there writing that becomes a deeper tale—with more implications about our own lives—with every chapter.”—Robert Kurson, New York Times bestselling author of Shadow Divers

On the Edge of Survival by Spike Walker Pdf

From the acclaimed author whose beloved books inspired the hit television show, The Deadliest Catch, comes a thrilling true adventure tale in the Alaskan seas A Malaysian cargo ship on its way from Seattle, Washington to China ran aground off the coast of western Alaska's Aleutian Islands on December 8, 2004 during a brutal storm, leading to one of the most incredible Coast Guard rescue missions of all time. Two Coast Guard Jayhawk helicopters lifted off immediately from Air Station Kodiak during the driving storm in an effort to rescue the ship's eighteen crew members before it broke apart and sank in the freezing waters. Nine of the crew were lifted from the ship and dropped aboard a nearby Coast Guard cutter. But during attempts to save the last eight crew members, one of the Jayhawks was engulfed by a rogue wave that broke over the bow of the ship. When its engines flamed out from ingesting water, the Jayhawk crashed into the sea. The seven crew members from the ship who had been hoisted into the aircraft, along with the chopper's three-man crew, plunged into the bitterly cold ocean where hypothermia began to set in immediately. Interviewing all the surviving participants of the disaster and given access to documents and photos, acclaimed author Spike Walker has once again crafted a white-knuckle read of survival and death in the unforgiving Alaskan waters.
