Book excerpt: Russell Wilburn moves to a seemingly quiet small town to start a new life. >He buys a house that appears to be the ideal setting to begin this new venture. Unfortunately, strange things begin to happen. Mysterious phone calls and ghostly visions lead him to believe the house is haunted. He quickly develops a fascination with an old mansion a few blocks away, and a cemetery further up the road. It doesn''t take long to discover that the mansion is inhabited by a crazy old man who is the only living descendant of a once rich and powerful family. Everyone in town knows the horrific legend of the mansion. Everybody knows of the tales that tie the mansion and the cemetery to Russell''s new house. On the surface, no one admits these places are really haunted. However, everyone is still afraid of them. The notorious spot in the cemetery is considered a children's story of a grave that doesn''t exist. Still, he must go there to answer the questions that will rid his home of its supernatural inhabitants. He must brave the infamous cemetery and the haunted mansion (with its deadly resident) in order to save himself from the unwanted guests in his new home. There is only one person who is willing to aid in his fight to save his house and survive! Unfortunately, that person is already dead!
Book Synopsis Islands in a Far Sea by : John L. Culliney
Download or read book Islands in a Far Sea written by John L. Culliney and published by University of Hawaii Press. This book was released on 2005-11-30 with total page 432 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1988, Islands in a Far Sea offers a comprehensive environmental history of Hawai‘i. This thoroughly revised edition begins with an up-to-date account of the geological formation and shaping of the Islands, their colonization by plants and animals, and the patterns of ecology and evolution that unfolded in nurturing seas and on breath-taking landscapes. This book tells the story of human interaction with Hawai‘i's native landscapes and rich biological heritage. The author’s accessible language allows readers to grasp basic geological and biological principles and to understand the perhaps surprising vulnerability of Hawaiian ecosystems--which have coevolved with volcanoes--to human impact. Islands in a Far Sea includes many well-documented historical examples of such impacts, featuring growth and greed, fears and foibles as humans confronted endemic nature in Hawai‘i. Citing a large array of sources, the author makes it possible for interested readers to probe more deeply the changes in natural systems that have ensued on all of the Hawaiian Islands. To date the result has been the tragic reduction of a unique and benign biota. However, the book holds out hope that current efforts to protect what is left of Hawai‘i's flora and fauna in their remaining wild settings may yet succeed.
Book Synopsis Naval Power and Expeditionary Wars by : Bruce A. Elleman
Download or read book Naval Power and Expeditionary Wars written by Bruce A. Elleman and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2010-12-09 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines the nature and character of naval expeditionary warfare, in particular in peripheral campaigns, and the contribution of such campaigns to the achievement of strategic victory. Naval powers, which can lack the massive ground forces to win in the main theatre, often choose a secondary theatre accessible to them by sea and difficult for their enemies to reach by land, giving the sea power and its expeditionary forces the advantage. The technical term for these theatres is ‘peripheral operations.’ The subject of peripheral campaigns in naval expeditionary warfare is central to the British, the US, and the Australian way of war in the past and in the future. All three are reluctant to engage large land forces because of the high human and economic costs. Instead, they rely as much as possible on sea and air power, and the latter is most often in the form of carrier-based aviation. In order to exert pressure on their enemies, they have often opened additional theaters in on-going, regional, and civil wars. This book contains thirteen case studies by some of the foremost naval historians from the United States, Great Britain, and Australia whose collected case studies examine the most important peripheral operations of the last two centuries. This book will be of much interest to students of naval warfare, military history, strategic studies and security studies.

Book Synopsis Danger, Development and Legitimacy in East Asian Maritime Politics by : Christian Wirth
Download or read book Danger, Development and Legitimacy in East Asian Maritime Politics written by Christian Wirth and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-11-15 with total page 238 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Grounded in extensive empirical research, Danger, Development and Legitimacy in East Asian Maritime Politics addresses the major issues of geopolitics in the region that have been and will continue to shape the international politics of the Asia-Pacific for years to come. Covering the nation-states of China, Japan and South Korea, it includes an examination of the key island disputes, as well as analysis of the North Korea–South Korea clashes in the Yellow Sea, controversies in Japan’s relations with both Koreas and the so-called ‘history disputes’, including recognition of World War II atrocities across the region. In doing so, this book explores a range of themes from the ecological environment to the globalized nature of shipping and therein links the East Asian maritime sphere directly to the dynamics and developments in the domestic politics of each country. Thus, it serves to demonstrate how several controversial debates in the international politics of the Asia-Pacific are ultimately and inextricably intertwined. A timely contribution that furthers our understanding of contemporary politics of the Asia-Pacific, this book will be of great interest to students and scholars of Asian politics, international relations and the Asia-Pacific region in general.
Book Synopsis Drawing the Sea Near by : C. Anne Claus
Download or read book Drawing the Sea Near written by C. Anne Claus and published by U of Minnesota Press. This book was released on 2020-11-03 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How Japanese coastal residents and transnational conservationists collaborated to foster relationships between humans and sea life Drawing the Sea Near opens a new window to our understanding of transnational conservation by investigating projects in Okinawa shaped by a “conservation-near” approach—which draws on the senses, the body, and memory to collapse the distance between people and their surroundings and to foster collaboration and equity between coastal residents and transnational conservation organizations. This approach contrasts with the traditional Western “conservation-far” model premised on the separation of humans from the environment. Based on twenty months of participant observation and interviews, this richly detailed, engagingly written ethnography focuses on Okinawa’s coral reefs to explore an unusually inclusive, experiential, and socially just approach to conservation. In doing so, C. Anne Claus challenges orthodox assumptions about nature, wilderness, and the future of environmentalism within transnational organizations. She provides a compelling look at how transnational conservation organizations—in this case a field office of the World Wide Fund for Nature in Okinawa—negotiate institutional expectations for conservation with localized approaches to caring for ocean life. In pursuing how particular projects off the coast of Japan unfolded, Drawing the Sea Near illuminates the real challenges and possibilities of work within the multifaceted transnational structures of global conservation organizations. Uniquely, it focuses on the conservationists themselves: why and how has their approach to project work changed, and how have they themselves been transformed in the process?
