Book excerpt: Captain Pearce never intended to be a teacher, but the only way she could escape her early retirement on Earth and get back out into the vacuum was to share the human side of the great Terraforming Project to young political appointees hoping to become Fleet cadets. Hiding her old secrets had given her a unique view of the past failures and the ongoing dream that powered the greatest macro-engineering task of all—remaking the Solar System into new habitable planets for mankind. Stationed on Ceres, formerly an asteroid, now the second largest moon of Earth and headquarters of the Project, also gave her the opportunity to pull off a little project of her own—if she could play the game before they found her out. Henry Melton has been writing Project stories for magazines and anthologies for decades and here in one volume are collected old favorites and several new, previously unpublished works spanning from the beginnings of the Fleet as a simple space transport organization through its expansion to become the mover of planets and changer of worlds.

Book Synopsis Captured Memories, 1930–1945 by : Peter Liddle
Download or read book Captured Memories, 1930–1945 written by Peter Liddle and published by Casemate Publishers. This book was released on 2011-12-13 with total page 422 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this sequel to his successful first volume Peter Liddle brings his years of Oral History experience to the Thirties and the Second World War. He was the founder/Director of a new archive in 1999 specifically dedicated to the rescue of evidence of the Second World War which now documents the lives of more than nine thousand people in that war. Many of the most vivid recollections he has recorded covering this period appear in this book.For the Thirties poverty is movingly exemplified in recall of orphanage upbringing, labor in an East Lancashire mill and Glasgow childhood. Privileged public schools and university education is here too, with political convictions expressed by Barbara Castle and quite exceptionally by Oswald Mosley.For the War, there is a section on the sea which includes graphic detail of battle, lifeboat command, the St Nazaire Raid, and of Pearl Harbor. A George Medallist and an Admiral of the Fleet add special distinction here.For the air, a Battle of Britain Spitfire Pilot, Britains most successful night-fighter pilot, a Lancaster Bomber Pilot VC, an American pilot shot down over Belgium, surviving to fight with the Resistance, and a German Pilot retaining his national Socialist convictions present outstanding material.For the land, Dunkirk, North Africa, Italy, Singapore, D-Day, Arnhem, the Rhine Crossing, are all there but so Commando raids, SOE operations, capture, escapes, severe wounding, and a VC earned in Somaliland. A German describes the hand to hand fighting at Cassino, a Field Marshal, his service in North Africa, and Joachim Ronneberg his part in the Telemark Raid in Norway.In the Home Front section, women feature prominently was WAAF, Wrens, ATS, Bletchley Park, the Land Army, war work in factories, dance band singing, Blitz experience in several towns, war widowhood, and overseas evacuation, all feature. There is an account of bomb disposal, of the stance of a Conscientious Objector, and then four people quite exceptional for the significance of their material. Two are from Poland, a jewess who survived against all odds, and a woman who became involved in the Warsaw Uprising; the others are Sir Basil Blackwell working on the development of weaponry for the Admiralty and finally Sir Bernard Lovell on radar.This book does much to dissolve the intervening years. The essence of what is was to be young and to be there lies within these pages.

Book Synopsis The Brave Pirate Captain and the Sea Monsters by : AQEEL AHMED
Download or read book The Brave Pirate Captain and the Sea Monsters written by AQEEL AHMED and published by AQEEL AHMED. This book was released on 2023-09-17 with total page 48 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Brave Pirate Captain and the Sea Monsters Here's a brief summary of the story: The exciting story of Captain Oliver and his loyal crew on the beautiful ship Sapphire Serpent takes us to a world where bravery and adaptability are highly valued. Pirates in the past, Captain Oliver and his gang went through a big change that changed how they felt about the water and how the story of piracy is told. At first, their trip is exciting because they don't know what to expect and they might find buried riches. They are brave pirates who sail the open sea without fear because they want to find treasure and new adventures. But the most important part of their trip is when they find a secret island where dangerous sea animals live. Even though his friends are afraid and warn him not to, Captain Oliver takes his crew with full confidence to the Island of the Sea Monsters. They go into the unknown, where strange noises and a foggy beach make them scared. But they keep going because they believe in his guidance. With swords and guns drawn, they move toward the green but spooky island. The focus of their research is an old, overgrown temple that is guarded by stone statues that look like aquatic life. Because Captain Oliver is determined to figure out the island's secrets, they try to solve more of its puzzles. Inside the temple, they find an amazing treasure room full of gold coins, rare gems, and other beautiful things. Their success is short-lived, though, because giant sea monsters that look like snakes come out of the statues and attack them. Over the course of several hours, the crew's patience is tried, but Captain Oliver's unwavering spirit keeps them going. As the fight goes on, Captain Oliver comes up with a daring plan. He tells his crew to lead the sea monsters back into the water. He jumps onto one of the creatures and puts a huge knife through its shining eye, which makes the other one run away. When the crew finds out that Captain Oliver and the sea monsters have run away to the ocean's depths, it takes away from their moment of victory. When they get back to the Sapphire Serpent, they are sad and have changed a lot. They understand that their captain and the money are gone, but that their newfound respect for the secrets of the water is a much better prize. The sea splitting to show Captain Oliver's return is a sign that their story will end in a miraculous way. His knowledge and the change in the team lead to a new plan to protect the ocean and its animals. They go from being thieves to being brave protectors and defenders of the world under the sea. They go all over the world to save marine animals, protect coral reefs, and promote marine protection. They have become well-known for their brave defense of the water, which has inspired people and groups all over the world to do the same. Since Captain Oliver and his crew changed the way people think about pirates for good, the world has never been the same. Plundering and being greedy are replaced by brave duty and working together, which reminds people of how important it is to protect and care for the environment. So, their story lives on as a story of daring, bravery, and bold guardianship. It is a lesson that we all have the power to change and the duty to protect the treasures that lie beneath the water. This is how the story starts: A brave pirate captain named Captain Oliver used to live where the sea and the sky meet. Captain Oliver was known all over the world for his constant love of excitement and lack of fear. As he crossed the vast ocean with his loyal crew on the beautiful ship "Sapphire Serpent," his heart was full of the excitement of the unknown, and their eyes sparkled with the promise of secret wealth. The pirate Captain Oliver was not like the others. He went to the sea not only because he wanted to steal and get rich, but also because he was very interested in the world and wanted to learn more about it. His team worked hard because he was interested in how big the ocean was and how many things could happen there. They were more than just sea pirates. They were also explorers, dreamers, and people who thought the world beyond the sky was magical. The tall "Sapphire Serpent" was a sight to see, with its dark blue sails and black hull. It is said that it was made by skilled shipwrights who put their hearts and souls into every plank and nail. Its figurehead was a beautifully carved sapphire snake that seemed to come to life at night and watch over the crew as they went on dangerous journeys. This ship was more than just a way for them to get around. It was also their home and a place of safety in the middle of the vast seas. The crew of Captain Oliver was as different as the sea. People from all walks of life, from crusty old sailors to wide-eyed kids, were attracted to their brave leader's charisma. Everyone has a unique story to tell, made up of hopes, regrets, and dreams from their past. They became close because they all liked to try new things and cared about each other. Their travels took them to some of the world's most remote places, where not many people had gone before. They saw old secrets and fought through fierce storms that put their strength to the test. Captain Oliver was not only good at leading his team, but he was also a good teacher. He taught them how to navigate and the value of trust and friendship. He thinks that the real treasures are not gold or jewelry, but the bonds that people make with each other on their trip. One bad day, as the "Sapphire Serpent" sailed through blue seas, they found an old map that had been lost for a long time. The map was supposed to lead to the "Isle of Eternal Dreams," a place that sailors whispered about. It was said to hold the keys to wealth, knowledge, and living forever. Captain Oliver and his team decided to follow the mysterious symbols on the map. Their hearts were racing, and they were excited. It took them by islands no one had ever seen before, through dangerous rivers, and right into the middle of the angry sea. They ran into problems that put their faith to the test in a way that had never happened before. Despite everything, they kept going because they trusted each other and had a strong will. After months of hard journey, they finally reached the mythical Isle of Eternal Dreams. The island was a green paradise with emerald woods, waterfalls, and strange animals they had never seen before. Following the directions on the map, they went deep into the island's center and found a secret room with old books, sparkling gems, and a sparkling fountain. Captain Oliver was humbled by how big of a find they had made. He understood that the real treasure was not the money in front of him, but the knowledge they had gained, the experiences they had shared, and the strong bond that held his crew together. He knew that the most valuable things in life were the desire to learn and to try new things. As they sailed away from the island, their sails were full, and their spirits were high. They knew that there were many more places to discover and that their journey was not over. Captain Oliver and his team kept exploring the vast ocean, never giving up and always looking for new things to see. They understood that where the sea and the sky met, the most important things were the ones you carried in your heart, not the ones you could hold in your hands. They kept sailing, always looking to the horizon for their next big experience. There are stories and legends about Captain Oliver and his loyal crew that are told all over the seven seas. People from far away told stories about the brave pirate captain who went out to find both worldly and spiritual riches. The "Sapphire Serpent" came to stand for bravery, optimism, and the understanding that life's greatest treasures are not always things. Along the way, they met sailors, traders, and pirates from all over the world. Captain Oliver was true to his nature and tried to avoid bloodshed whenever he could. He thought that people could get along better on the high seas if they understood each other and worked together. Because he was charming and his team was seen as honest explorers, they often made friends in strange places. Over time, the crew of the "Sapphire Serpent" became known for their acts of kindness and bravery. They would help poor coastal towns, save sailors who had been lost, and share their wealth with those who had less. Because Captain Oliver was a caring and understanding leader, every member of his team learned how to be caring and understanding. As word spread about how popular they were, kings and queens asked Captain Oliver to share his knowledge and experience at their courts. He became a trusted advisor to kings and a supporter of keeping peace around the world. His impact went far beyond the coast, and he used it to bring people together and help them understand each other.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Theodore Augustus Barry (1825-1881) and Benjamin Ada Patten (1825-1877) established their credentials as California pioneers by arriving in their adopted state before January 1, 1850. Men and memories of San Francisco (1873) gives later arrivals a detailed picture of the city as it existed a few months before California statehood. They describe the streets and the residences and business that lined each thoroughfare and alley as well as the men and women who owned those homes, boarding-houses, hotels, restaurants, saloons, stores, offices, and shops. They also chronicle the fire of May 1851 which destroyed so many of the structures they describe. While they focus on the city as it was in early 1850, their sketches of its residents extend further, often forming capsule biographies of their subjects.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Peter Liddle was a pioneer in the recording of memories of personal experience in the First World War and in the social background of those who lived through those years. Later he moved into the recording of men and women for whom the Second World War was the formative experience of their lives. In a planned two volume collection of the most outstanding interviews of the four thousand he made, for the first volume he has chosen memories which take the reader back as many as a hundred and twenty years to days in sailing ships, a Hebridean boyhood, suffragist action, pre–1914 working class life and work in the North-East of England, city life in London, service in the Boer War, pioneering a settlement in Manitoba, Canada, and the Army's experiments in the use of man-lifting kites, airplanes and balloons.The main focus of the book is upon the First World War with The Western Front battles, the Gallipoli Campaign and the Battle of Jutland prominently featured. Liddle also represents the Mesopotamian and East African fronts and women nursing under particularly unusual circumstances. Several Victoria Cross award winners and a fighter pilot ace appear, as do those whose distinction was to come later in their lives like Harold Macmillan, Henry Moore, Gordon Jacob, Emanuel Shinwell, Barnes Wallis and Victor Silvester. There is even an interview with the first conscientious objector to be court-martialed and sentenced to death before commutation of the sentence. This book is a veritable treasure trove of the past.
