Download or read book Lifelines written by Nathan Walter and published by Andrews UK Limited. This book was released on 2023-01-31 with total page 203 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Angling. Is there anything better? Setting up for a day's fishing at a favourite haunt, the beautiful countryside an enchanting backdrop to the anticipated aquatic battle that lies ahead. The dip of a float or a twitch on the rod top indicating some unseen interest in the angler's bait, before the float plunges under or the rod top rips round... now let the battle commence! Of course, angling offers so much more than the ultimate outcome of a fish or two. The serenity, the beauty and the solitude that our waterways offer the intrepid piscator are truly amazing. Angling is spiritual; it's therapeutic and it manifests healing properties for the mind. There is an innate desire to fish in all of us that dates back through thousands of years of mankind's development; many anglers truly believe they were born to fish. These sentiments are shared amongst the contributors to Lifelines. In all, twenty-eight actors, entertainers, filmmakers, authors, journalists and anglers bring you a selection of short stories centred around angling. Some are true, others are works of fiction. Comedian, actor and one half of Mortimer and Whitehouse: Gone Fishing Paul Whitehouse reminisces on his experiences on the middle Dee one burning hot August weekend, Luke Jennings (creator of Villanelle and bestselling author of the Killing Eve series) takes us into the realms of the supernatural, and international wildlife filmmaker and Passion for Angling director Hugh Miles tells of a fatal encounter with the pumas of South America. Whether you're an angler or not yourself, you are sure to enjoy these and many other fantastic contributions. There's even a winter's ghost story to keep you company on a cold and windy night! This is the perfect book to dip in and out of (if you can put it down) and has been expertly compiled by authors Nathan Walter and Rod Sturdy, who have chosen to donate all profits from the book to good causes, including the John Wilson Fishing Enterprise (jwfe.co.uk) which helps children and adults deal with mental health issues through angling. Tight Lines!

Book Synopsis Griffith Taylor by : Carolyn Strange
Download or read book Griffith Taylor written by Carolyn Strange and published by National Library Australia. This book was released on 2008 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Thomas Griffith Taylor (18801963) was a geographer, anthropologist and world explorer. His travels took him from Captain Scotts final expedition in Antarctica to every continent on earth, in a life that stretched from the Boer War to the Cold War. Taylors research ranged from microscopic analysis of fossils to the races of man and the geographic basis of global politics. This timely biography is a copiously illustrated account and analysis of Griffith Taylors remarkable life. It explores what drove this long, lean, lanky man to such extremes: geographically, intellectually and politically.

Book Synopsis The Rhythms Of Life by : Leon Kreitzman
Download or read book The Rhythms Of Life written by Leon Kreitzman and published by Profile Books. This book was released on 2011-09-30 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Popular science at its most exciting: the breaking new world of chronobiology - understanding the rhythm of life in humans and all plants and animals. The entire natural world is full of rhythms. The early bird catches the worm -and migrates to an internal calendar. Dormice hibernate away the winter. Plants open and close their flowers at the same hour each day. Bees search out nectar-rich flowers day after day. There are cicadas that can breed for only two weeks every 17 years. And in humans: why are people who work anti-social shifts more illness prone and die younger? What is jet-lag and can anything help? Why do teenagers refuse to get up in the morning, and are the rest of us really 'larks' or 'owls'? Why are most people born (and die) between 3am-5am? And should patients be given medicines (and operations) at set times of day, because the body reacts so differently in the morning, evening and at night? The answers lie in our biological clocks the mechanisms which give order to all living things. They impose a structure that enables us to change our behaviour in relation to the time of day, month or year. They are reset at sunrise and sunset each day to link astronomical time with an organism's internal time.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The tales woven into the fabric of this collection span the continents, from the ancient cradle of Mesopotamia, where the Tigris and Euphrates once whispered to Sumerian poets, to the expansive waterways of the Amazon, where the rainforest hums with the secrets of the mighty river. We delve into the mythologies of the Ganges, sacred and revered, carrying the spiritual aspirations of millions within its gentle ripples. The Nile, with its storied past, whispers echoes of pharaohs and pyramids, a testament to the ingenuity of ancient civilizations. In the heart of North America, the Mississippi River tells tales of exploration, trade, and the clash of cultures. Further west, the Columbia River winds through the rugged landscapes of the Pacific Northwest, a witness to the struggles and triumphs of indigenous peoples and pioneers alike. Across the Atlantic, the Thames bears witness to the ebb and flow of London's history, from Shakespearean theaters to modern financial districts.

Download or read book Fury and Ice written by Peter Harmsen and published by Casemate. This book was released on 2024-09-15 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first English-language monograph that covers the importance of Greenland during World War II. The wartime interest in Greenland was a direct result of its vital strategic position—if you wanted to predict the weather in Europe, you had to have men in place on the vast, frozen island. The most celebrated example of Greenland’s crucial contribution to Allied meteorological services is the correct weather forecast in June 1944 leading to the decision to launch the invasion of Normandy. In addition, both before and after D-Day a stream of weather reports from Greenland was essential for the Allied ability to carry out the bombing offensive against Germany. The Germans were aware of the value of Greenland from a meteorological point of view, and they repeatedly attempted to establish semi-permanent weather stations along the sparsely populated east coast of the island. This resulted in an epic cat-and-mouse game, in which US Coast Guard personnel assisted by a celebrated sledge patrol manned by Scandinavian adventurers struggled to locate and eliminate German bases before they could make any difference. It's a story seldom told, but the fact remains that Greenland was the only part of the North American continent in which German troops maintained a presence throughout almost the entirety of the war. At the same time, the US entry into the war triggered an enormous American effort to hastily establish the necessary infrastructure in the form of harbors and air bases that enabled Greenland to form a vital link in the effort to send men and supplies across the North Atlantic in the face of stern opposition from the German Navy. While Allied ships were passing through Greenland waters in massive numbers, planes were plying the so-called Snowball Route from Greenland over Iceland to the British Isles. This gave rise to number of tragic incidents, such as the sinking of the transport ship SS Dorchester off Greenland in February 1942, leading to the deaths of 674 out of 904 men on board, including the “Four Chaplains”—representing the Methodists, the Reformed Church, the Catholic Church, and Judaism—who gave up their life jackets to save others. In July the same year, in one of the most massive, forced landings in history, “the lost squadron,” six P-38 Lightning fighter aircraft and two Flying Fortresses, crash-landed on a Greenland glacier.
