Download or read book Rough Seas written by James Greene and published by The History Press. This book was released on 2011-11-30 with total page 319 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A trawlerman's life was hard, often up against bad weather, rough seas and black frosts, although on calm days it was a pleasure to be at sea. In this eventful memoir, deep-sea trawlerman James Greene relates his life at sea, from his childhood when his father would take him out in some of the worst gales and hurricanes imaginable (and he loved every minute of it!), to his early careers as a deckhand learner, obtaining his skipper's ticket, and the many experiences - both disastrous and otherwise - to occur throughout his time at sea. During his career he was involved in ship collisions and fires, arrested for poaching, fired upon by Icelandic gunboats, in countless storms and even swept overboard in icy conditions off the Russian coast. The British trawling industry is now a by-gone age and people are beginning to forget the adventures and hardships that characterised this profession. This book seeks to keep the memories of a once great industry alive.

Book Synopsis Rough Waters by : Christine J. Walley
Download or read book Rough Waters written by Christine J. Walley and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2010-01-01 with total page 329 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rough Waters explores one of the most crucial problems of the contemporary era--struggles over access to, and use of, the environment. It combines insights from anthropology, history, and environmental studies, mounting an interdisciplinary challenge to contemporary accounts of "globalization." The book focuses on The Mafia Island Marine Park, a national park in Tanzania that became the center of political conflict during its creation in the mid-1990s. The park, reflecting a new generation of internationally sponsored projects, was designed to encourage environmental conservation as well as development. Rather than excluding residents, as had been common in East Africa's mainland wildlife parks, Mafia Island was intended to represent a new type of national park that would encourage the participation of area residents and incorporate their ideas. While the park had been described in the project's general management plan as "for the people and by the people," residents remained excluded from the most basic decisions made about the park. The book details the day-to-day tensions and alliances that arose among Mafia residents, Tanzanian government officials, and representatives of international organizations, as each group attempted to control and define the park. Walley's analysis argues that a technocentric approach to conservation and development can work to the detriment of both poorer people and the environment. It further suggests that the concept of the global may be inadequate for understanding this and other social dramas in the contemporary world.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Life is an adventure. I am sure you have heard this said many times. Well for me it is a fact. I have traveled the world. In all my travels this expedition was the most memorable, it is a trip that few will take. I want to share with you my love of penguins and Antarctica so you too will feel you have seen Antarctica through my eyes. That is why I have produced my film. The sea was rough. I would not recommend this trip to anyone with motion sickness. I do not get seasick and I had the confidence in Kapitan Khlebnikov that it was sea worthy. It was like riding a horse that had never been broken. You never know what to expect of the seas of Antarctica. They are the roughest in the world. The next cruise was smoother. For those of you who will never go to Antarctica—this book is for you! I want to share the experience with the world.
