Download or read book Girl Underwater written by Claire Kells and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2016-08-16 with total page 305 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An adventurous debut novel cutting between a competitive college swimmer's harrowing days in the Rocky Mountains after a major airline disaster, and her recovery supported by the two men who love her--only one of whom knows what really happened in the wilderness. Nineteen-year-old Avery Delacorte loves the water. A sophomore on her university's nationally ranked swim team, she finally feels popular and accepted -- especially by Lee, her kind and outgoing boyfriend. But everything changes when Avery's red-eye home for Thanksgiving makes a ditch landing in a mountain lake in the Colorado Rockies. There are only five survivors: Avery, three little boys, and Colin Shea-- the teammate Avery has been avoiding since the first day of freshman year. Faced with sub-zero temperatures, minimal supplies, and the dangers of a forbidding nowhere, Avery and Colin must rely on their talents, willpower, and each other in ways they never could have imagined. Yet when Avery emerges from her ordeal alive, terrified of the water, conflicted by her emotions, and evasive of her memories, she must face the harrowing realization that rescue doesn't necessarily mean survival.
Book Synopsis Caligula's Barges and the Renaissance Origins of Nautical Archaeology Under Water by : John M. McManamon
Download or read book Caligula's Barges and the Renaissance Origins of Nautical Archaeology Under Water written by John M. McManamon and published by Texas A&M University Press. This book was released on 2016-12-09 with total page 640 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sometime around 1446 A.D., Cardinal Prospero Colonna commissioned engineer Battista Alberti to raise two immense Roman vessels from the bottom of the lago di Nemi, just south of Rome. By that time, local fishermen had been fouling their nets and occasionally recovering stray objects from the sunken ships for 800 years. Having no idea of the size of the objects he was attempting to recover, Alberti failed. For most of the next 500 years, various attempts were made to recover the vessels. Finally, in 1928, Mussolini ordered the draining of the lake to remove the vessels and place them on the lake shore. In 1944, the ships burned in a fire that was generally blamed on the Germans. John M. McManamon connects these attempts at underwater archaeology with the Renaissance interest in reconstructing the past in order to affect the present. Nautical and marine archaeologists, as well as students and scholars of Renaissance history and historiography, will appreciate this masterfully researched and gracefully written work.

Download or read book Under Water written by Claire Walsh and published by Gill & Macmillan Ltd. This book was released on 2023-03-09 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'I needed to breathe. Not the short, shallow breaths that keep you alive ... merely existing. I wanted that breath that starts deep down in your being and fills your lungs and limbs with life.' Claire Walsh spent her twenties living the life she thought she was supposed to live, all the while playing hide-and-seek with depression. In her thirties, finding herself single and living with her parents, she decided it was time to chart a different path. In Central America Claire discovered freediving, plunging up to 60 metres below the water's surface without the use of breathing apparatus. It taught her the power of breathwork, but more importantly it taught her how to find freedom in the present moment. Under Water is a candid and captivating story of what it's like to take part in one of the most dangerous sports in the world, and a reminder that sometimes all we need to do is take a deep breath. '20,000 leaues of sparkling adventure and tap-dancing prose.' Ruth Fitzmaurice, author of I Found My Tribe

Book excerpt: The characters . . . Adeline O’Hara, ex-WAC and reporter for the Teneskium (Oregon) Pioneer, also country correspondent for the Portland Press, who tells the story. She is young, red-headed, and Irish. She meets Titus Willow, the pudgy passionate professional philanthropist, who is a badly frightened man. He is visiting Carson Delhart, the Portland millionaire, who dislikes giving interviews , and who wants to marry Titus Willow’s daughter Daisy Willow, small and babyish, with a penchant for suicide. She is engaged to Arthur Frew, Titus Willow’s assistant, a very sullen young man who dislikes everyone and everything. He causes Adeline a lot of trouble. Also involved is Glory Martin, beautiful ice-blonde ward of Carson Delhart. She is rumored to be his mistress, and has definite tendencies toward dipsomania and nymphomania. Watching out for her is Potter Hilton, Delhart’s extremely efficient secretary, who is cold and precise and at times very frightening. He introduces Adeline to Mrs. Edna Willow, Titus’ who had a very bad disposition. She is concerned with making a good marriage for Daisy until murder intervenes. Suspected by police is Tim Larson, a high school friend of Adeline’s and now Delhart’s chauffeur. He is in love with Glory Martin. He lives with Mrs. Larson, his Irish mother, and Mr. Larson, called Big Swede, although he is half a head shorter than his son, Tim. Along with everyone else, they dislike Godfrey Tiffin, the assistant county prosecutor, who was Adeline’s first suitor, whom she rejected. He has never forgiven her and causes her a great deal of trouble even though Jocko Bedford, the sheriff, s on her side most of the time. Then there is Jeff Cook, the star reporter for the Portland Press, who is sent to Teneskium to help Adeline cover the murder, and is involved while helping her to try to prove Tim Larson’s innocence. He becomes a good friend of Jud Argyle, Adeline’s boss, owner of the Weekly Teneskium Pioneer, who smells his liquor instead of drinking it, and Bosco, the cat who saves Adeline’s honor, and who had a tremendous appetite for newsprint, string, and shoelaces, and Nellie, Adeline’s ancient jalopy, whose death causes Titus Willow a lot fo grief later on. She is one of Adeline’s problems, along with the missing felt hat, the body in the river, and Jeff Cook. Adeline becomes more and more involved with Godfrey Tiffin, who wants to put her in jail (especially after he finds Jeff Cook’s pajama’s in her dresser) until her midnight swim in her lingerie and an attempted suicide help point out the solution.
