Book excerpt: The man who led the salvage efforts to raise a sunken US Navy submarine recounts the mission in a tale “that will surely rank among the epics of the sea” (The Philadelphia Inquirer). The sinking of the submarine S-51 was one of the greatest tragedies in American naval history. Due to a miscommunication and subsequent collision between the sub and a passing steamship on a September night, the S-51, including thirty-three of its crew of thirty-six, sank to the ocean depths. The tragedy of the S-51 captivated the nation, and was a fixture in the pages of American newspapers. The story took on a whole new dimension when the navy decided to take over the salvage of the thousand-ton behemoth from a civilian company. Heading the crew tasked with this impossible feat was Edward Ellsberg, at the time a lieutenant commander. On the Bottom is Ellsberg’s account of the successes and failures he and his men experienced as they attempted an astonishing feat of engineering and bravery: the first salvage of a submarine from the open ocean.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An introduction to embodied movement through the work of a dance education pioneer In this introduction to the work of somatic dance education pioneer Nancy Topf (1942–1998), readers are ushered on a journey to explore the movement of the body through a close awareness of anatomical form and function. Making available the full text of Topf’s The Anatomy of Center for the first time in print, this guide helps professionals, teachers, and students of all levels integrate embodied, somatic practices within contexts of dance, physical education and therapy, health, and mental well-being. Hetty King, a movement educator certified in the Topf Technique®, explains how the ideas in this work grew out of Topf’s involvement in developing Anatomical Release Technique—an important concept in contemporary dance—and the influence of earlier innovators Barbara Clark and Mabel Elsworth Todd, founder of the approach to movement known as “ideokinesis.” Featuring lessons written as a dialogue between teacher, student, and elements of the body, Topf’s material is accompanied by twenty-one activities that allow readers to use the book as a self-guided manual. A Guide to a Somatic Movement Practice is a widely applicable entry point into the tradition of experiential anatomy and its mindful centering of the living, breathing body.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: My grandfather came from the Island of Barbados with his mother, brothers, and sisters to Tobago in about 1890. They established themselves in their new home, but no one alive today seems to be able to make any connection with our Barbados relatives, which for a very long time had been my desire. My father had told me some stories that I wanted to share with some of my relatives and began to do so as attachments to e-mails. Those relatives enjoyed them and kept asking me for more. I included some stories of my own that I recalled from growing up in Tobago. This book is a compilation of fifty stories about my family that I want to share with you. I hope that you, too, would enjoy them. Some of the conversations in some of the stories were written in dialect to retain a Caribbean flavor. Caribbean readers should have no problem following what was said, but for those who are unfamiliar with the way the ordinary island person speaks, I have included a key at the end of the book to help you understand what was being said.

Book excerpt: “A timeless classic” (San Antonio Express-News), reissued with a new foreword, afterword, and ten percent more material about a black man who spent seventeen years on a brutal Texas prison plantation and underwent a remarkable transformation. First published in 1984, Racehoss: Big Emma’s Boy is Albert Race Sample’s “unforgettable” (The Dallas Morning News) tale of resilience, revelation, and redemption. Born in 1930, the mixed-race son of a hard-drinking black prostitute and a white cotton broker, Sample was raised in the Jim Crow South by an abusive mother who refused to let her son—who could pass for white—call her Mama. He watched for the police while she worked, whether as a prostitute, bootlegger, or running the best dice game in town. He loved his mother deeply but could no longer take her abuse and ran away from home at the age of twelve. In his early twenties, Sample was arrested for burglary, robbery, and robbery by assault and was sentenced to nearly twenty years in the Texas prison system in the 1950s and 60s. His light complexion made him stand out in the all-black prison plantation known as the “burnin’ hell,” where he and over four hundred prisoners picked cotton and worked the land while white shotgun-carrying guards followed on horseback. Sample earned the moniker “Racehoss” for his ability to hoe cotton faster than anyone else in his squad. A profound spiritual awakening in solitary confinement was a decisive moment for him, and he became determined to turn his life around. When he was finally released in 1972, he did just that. Though Sample was incarcerated in the twentieth century, his memoir reads like it came from the nineteenth. With new stories that had been edited out of the first edition, a foreword by Texas attorney and writer David R. Dow, and an afterword by Sample’s widow, Carol, this new edition of Racehoss: Big Emma’s Boy offers a more complete picture of this extraordinary time in America’s recent past.

The Isle of Wight is a reasonably large place, there are many secluded corners which is just as well, Skullface needs them to kill, to drink the blood and eat the flesh to 'survive'. He justifies this by argument; the two sides of his mind are in constant battle. As Halloween draws closer, so Skullface's memories become clearer and he gets ever closer to remembering the reason for his death, his dysfunctional family and very strange life. He backs off from it many times but knows that if he is to permanently die, which is what he wants, he has to confront his past. When Halloween finally arrives, he makes the last walk to his home...

She mistakenly believes she is heading to attend a church feast, but when she arrives, she is horrified to learn that she is about to become the wife of Yacob, a young man who had visited her house a year earlier with his overbearing mother. Naturally devastated, Leela reluctantly prepares for the ceremony. Ordered to give up her education and the remainder of her childhood, Leela is now a wingless butterfly unable to chase her dreams. After she and Yacob marry, Leela attempts to settle into her new life as a housemaid without consummating her marriage. But one night after someone sneaks into her room, disguising as Yacob, to share her bed, Leela soon realises she is pregnant. But who is the father? As she faces many challenges that ultimately will lead to tragedy, Leela has no idea that years later, her son will endure unthinkable abuse as he struggles to find his own destiny and the true identity of his father. In this poignant story, a chain of events unfolds that leads a mother and her son on unexpected journeys during different timeframes where fate determines the outcome.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Toward the Retrieval of the Historic Memory of Spain In Ancient Rome, the senate would impose a dishonour known as the damnatio memoriae (obliteration of memory) as a form of punishment inflicted upon traitors or anyone who was not in the Roman emperors good books. In Francos Spain, this punishment provided the framework for the new states genocidal policy to exterminate all those opposed to the Fascist regime, that is, half of the Spanish population. The military coup that overthrew the legal Republican government with a bloody civil war that began July 18, 1936, inflicted a totalitarian regime under General Franco that remained in power until the Caudillos death in 1975. More than three-quarters of a century later, supporters of the movement to restore the Historic Memory of Spain strive to unearth and publish the stories of the hundreds of thousands of loyal men and women whose memory the Francoists have endeavoured to consign to oblivion and to damn for eternity. They shall not be forgotten.

Book excerpt: Once you step out of the plane there's no way back... French Resistance fighters uncover the position of a secret German store containing files and reports of vital information on the movement of troops. The details are passed to British Intelligence, who formulate an ingenious plan – to break into the heavily guarded store and steal the information – thus gaining the upper hand for a precious few hours. This was a job that demanded a tough, ruthless, highly trained band of men. Men who could parachute into enemy-occupied territory and efficiently carry out an operation that depended on split-second timing – and who could get out again with the vital papers. Men like those of commando unit Special Group 404... Another thrilling commando raid novella from a master of the genre, perfect for fans of Max Hennessy and Alan Evans.
