Download or read book The Outlaw Ocean written by Ian Urbina and published by Vintage. This book was released on 2019-08-20 with total page 560 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: NATIONAL BESTSELLER • A riveting, adrenaline-fueled tour of a vast, lawless, and rampantly criminal world that few have ever seen: the high seas. There are few remaining frontiers on our planet. But perhaps the wildest, and least understood, are the world's oceans: too big to police, and under no clear international authority, these immense regions of treacherous water play host to rampant criminality and exploitation. Traffickers and smugglers, pirates and mercenaries, wreck thieves and repo men, vigilante conservationists and elusive poachers, seabound abortion providers, clandestine oil-dumpers, shackled slaves and cast-adrift stowaways—drawing on five years of perilous and intrepid reporting, often hundreds of miles from shore, Ian Urbina introduces us to the inhabitants of this hidden world. Through their stories of astonishing courage and brutality, survival and tragedy, he uncovers a globe-spanning network of crime and exploitation that emanates from the fishing, oil, and shipping industries, and on which the world's economies rely. Both a gripping adventure story and a stunning exposé, this unique work of reportage brings fully into view for the first time the disturbing reality of a floating world that connects us all, a place where anyone can do anything because no one is watching.

Book Synopsis The History of Seafaring by : Donald Johnson
Download or read book The History of Seafaring written by Donald Johnson and published by Anova Books. This book was released on 2007 with total page 386 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A large format, meticulously researched, lavishly illustrated and fully international history of mankind's seaborne voyages from the Phoenicians and Chinese to modern navies and round-the-world sailing yachts. Royal prestige, intellectual curiosity, commerce and territorial expansion all propelled mankind to make perilous voyages across unpredictable oceans to find out what lay beyond the horizon, and the art of navigation allowed them to do so. From initial conjecture and philosophical reason, man ventured forth to glean first-hand information of the seas by exploration and scientific investigation. The author pieces together the advances in astronomy, navigation, shipbuilding and surveying through the ages to tell the fascinating and absorbing history of navigation and exploration in an elegant volume that is beautifully illustrated with manuscripts and rutters, portolans and sea charts, ship's instruments and artefacts. The meticulous research, based on original sources, has brought to light a lot of new information, which in some cases contradicts popular held beliefs. The book opens with the basic questions and challenges of navigation. Part 2 unravels the development of science and seafaring from the ancient times to the Mediterranean era. This created a basis for longer sailings, which are at the heart of Part 3 and in Part 4 the book ends with the advanced technology that made it possible to determine a ship's exact position at sea.

Book excerpt: This charming concertina book follows the journey of a little ship on a voyage across the sea. Folding out to nearly 8 feet, children can look at all the different things the ship sees on its way, as it chugs past fishing vessels, a tanker and a humongous cruise ship, alongside leaping dolphins and shoals of flying fish, through the high, choppy waves of a lightning storm, and finally reaching its own little harbour. Playful text guides the journey, providing fun shared experience and conversation starter for parents and young children. The reverse side of the concertina features spot illustrations picked out from the main scene, with a more expansive information about each element, from ships to ocean life.

Book excerpt: Those who regard familiar objects in art and nature as mere matters of course, anddo not trouble themselves to wander out of the beaten track of everyday thought, may not at first feel the force or admit the truth of this statement. Let such folkendeavour to shake themselves vigorously out of this beaten track of everydaythought. Let them knit their brows and clench their teeth, and gaze steadfastly intothe fire, or up at the sky, and try to realise what is involved in the idea of-a ship.What would the men of old have said, if you had told them that you intended totake yonder large wooden house, launch it upon the sea, and proceed in it out ofsight of land for a few days? "Poor fellow," they would have replied, "you are mad!"Ah! many a wise philosopher has been deemed mad, not only by men of old, but bymen of modern days. This "mad" idea has long since been fulfilled; for what is a shipbut a wooden house made to float upon the sea, and sail with its inmates hither andthither, at the will of the guiding spirit, over a trackless unstable ocean for monthstogether? It is a self-sustaining movable hotel upon the sea. It is an oasis in thedesert of waters, so skilfully contrived as to be capable of advancing against windand tide, and of outliving the wildest storms-the bitterest fury of winds and waves.It is the residence of a community, whose country for the time being is the ocean;or, as in the case of the Great Eastern steamship, it is a town with some thousandsof inhabitants launched upon the deep
