Book Synopsis Arctic Doctor by : Dr. Joseph P. Moody
Download or read book Arctic Doctor written by Dr. Joseph P. Moody and published by Pickle Partners Publishing. This book was released on 2017-01-12 with total page 417 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Arctic Doctor is an account of the true adventures of Joe Moody, the heroic young medical doctor whose practice covered 600,000 square miles of Canada’s East Arctic. Headquartered at Chesterfield Inlet on the west coast of Hudson Bay, Joe Moody made “routine” calls to his 2,000 Eskimo patients that required to take perilous trips by aircraft, dog sled, and canoe; to direct complicated surgery by telephone; and to confront Eskimo practices of infanticide and the “assisted suicide” of the age. Dr. Moody’s book is an exciting and suspenseful account of his years in the East Arctic—years of courageous effort on behalf of his profession, years devoted to scientific and human observation of the most fruitful kind, and years of heady adventure rarely matched in the annals of northland fiction.

Dr. Sims’ plans to become a pediatric surgeon drastically changed when, on the eve of being drafted into the Army to serve as a M.A.S.H. surgeon in Vietnam, he was offered a commission in the U.S. Public Health for assignment in Anchorage, Alaska.In order to do his job, Dr. Sims had to overcome racism, cultural prejudices, and hostility from those who would like to see him sent packing.

Book Synopsis Dangerous Work by : Arthur Conan Doyle
Download or read book Dangerous Work written by Arthur Conan Doyle and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2012-10-18 with total page 262 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This e-book features the complete text found in the print edition of Dangerous Work, without the illustrations or the facsimile reproductions of Conan Doyle's notebook pages. In 1880 a young medical student named Arthur Conan Doyle embarked upon the “first real outstanding adventure” of his life, taking a berth as ship’s surgeon on an Arctic whaler, the Hope. The voyage took him to unknown regions, showered him with dramatic and unexpected experiences, and plunged him into dangerous work on the ice floes of the Arctic seas. He tested himself, overcame the hardships, and, as he wrote later, “came of age at 80 degrees north latitude.” Conan Doyle’s time in the Arctic provided powerful fuel for his growing ambitions as a writer. With a ghost story set in the Arctic wastes that he wrote shortly after his return, he established himself as a promising young writer. A subsequent magazine article laying out possible routes to the North Pole won him the respect of Arctic explorers. And he would call upon his shipboard experiences many times in the adventures of Sherlock Holmes, who was introduced in 1887’s A Study in Scarlet. Out of sight for more than a century was a diary that Conan Doyle kept while aboard the whaler. Dangerous Work: Diary of an Arctic Adventure makes this account available for the first time. With humor and grace, Conan Doyle provides a vivid account of a long-vanished way of life at sea. His careful detailing of the experience of arctic whaling is equal parts fascinating and alarming, revealing the dark workings of the later days of the British whaling industry. In addition to the transcript of the diary, the e-book contains two nonfiction pieces by Doyle about his experiences; and two of his tales inspired by the journey. To the end of his life, Conan Doyle would look back on this experience with awe: “You stand on the very brink of the unknown,” he declared, “and every duck that you shoot bears pebbles in its gizzard which come from a land which the maps know not. It was a strange and fascinating chapter of my life.” Only now can the legion of Conan Doyle fans read and enjoy that chapter.

Book Synopsis A Great and Rising Nation by : Michael A. Verney
Download or read book A Great and Rising Nation written by Michael A. Verney and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2022-07-27 with total page 309 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Great and Rising Nation illuminates the unexplored early decades of the United States’ imperialist naval aspirations. Conventional wisdom holds that, until the Spanish-American War of 1898, the United States was a feeble player on the world stage, with an international presence rooted in commerce rather than military might. Michael A. Verney’s A Great and Rising Nation flips this notion on its head, arguing that early US naval expeditions, often characterized as merely scientific, were in fact deeply imperialist. Circling the globe from the Mediterranean to South America and the Arctic, these voyages reflected the diverse imperial aspirations of the new republic, including commercial dominance in the Pacific World, religious empire in the Holy Land, proslavery expansion in South America, and diplomatic prestige in Europe. As Verney makes clear, the United States had global imperial aspirations far earlier than is commonly thought.
