Book excerpt: The seashore towns of New Jersey have been a haven for people of all ages to experience an idyllic world filled with the scents, sights and sounds of sea, sky, sun and sand. We played in the surf, sand dunes, back bays and walked the quaint streets feeling safe and happy! The Jersey seashore provided cherished experiences that taught us that paradise on earth was not only possible - it was what we were living - now! We all have wonderful Jersey seashore memories that we revisit over and over during those long winter months, comforting and assuring us that when the seasons change, we will return to renew our spirits and create new memories. These stories illustrate how the Jersey seashore is central in shaping many lives. The characters and events move across time like a seashell skipping on the surface of an incoming wave. I am aware that you, too, have many stories to tell. Perhaps one day we will meet strolling along the edge of the sea, and sit in the sand for a spell as we look upon the horizon and share our memories and create new ones.
Book Synopsis Stone Harbor Revisited by : Donna Van Horn
Download or read book Stone Harbor Revisited written by Donna Van Horn and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2016-04-25 with total page 227 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1722, Seven Mile Beach, covered in red cedar and holly, bayberry bushes and beach plums, was acquired by the Leaming family, who used it for grazing and whaling. Long undeveloped, the southern portion of the island was sold to the South Jersey Realty Company in 1907. The Risley brothers sold bonds to support their vision of a seaside resort serving the wealthy of Philadelphia. Dunes were leveled, roads laid out, and basins dredged, creating the ideal vacation destination. Grand hotels shared space with workmen's cottages, and businesses sprang up to serve the crowds who flocked to Stone Harbor. The maritime ties of the community are evident in the long history of the Yacht Club of Stone Harbor, which traces its beginnings to as early as 1895. The clubhouse, built in 1909 and standing on its original site, is host to sailing and social activities throughout the year.

Book excerpt: For more than one hundred years, Stone Harbor was the preferred summer destination for residents of New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Delaware. One of the earliest resort towns, Stone Harbor was the dream of three brothers who, in the late 1800s, planned it in great detail. Its wide beach and sparkling ocean beckon to sunbathers, sailors, and deep-sea fishermen. Among the many people irresistibly drawn to this place of salt marsh, sand dune, and bay was Paul Preston Davis, whose remarkable collection of postcards and ephemera is featured in Stone Harbor.

Book Synopsis A Resolution Of Dreams by : James Qualls
Download or read book A Resolution Of Dreams written by James Qualls and published by James Qualls. This book was released on 2020-11-17 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abusir, Egypt 1800s, 'Band of Peace' Pyramids: Karl Richard Lepsius listed more than sixty pyramids. We are now aware of more than one hundred such structures still hidden beneath the sand. "The late Egyptologist and indigenous wisdom keeper Ab'del Hakim Awyan, who was born in the village of Abusir near the Giza Plateau, stated Egyptians include twenty-two of these pyramids in what they call the 'Band of Peace' which includes Giza and other sites both north and south of that along the Nile." The Great Pyramid of Giza is located directly at the center of the earth’s landmass. During 2170-2144 BCE, the Descending Passage of the pyramid pointed to Alpha Draconis [the North/Pole star]. No other star has aligned with the passage since that time. They were not only constructed and aligned to mirror the positions of the stars, but designed to replicate the harmonic cavities within the human body. The Pyramids are sophisticated oscillation systems. Each chamber, tuned to a specific biologic frequency. The priests used the sound waves to restore the body of those suffering to a correct resonant balance. What they discovered about the power of resonance was only the beginning. The North Pole Admiral Byrd flew into the inner Earth while over Antarctica on February 19th, 1947, he was under the impression he had discovered the mythical city of Shambala. Mythical, being the keyword here. The Resolutionist’s Agenda: Three Hours Ago… There is a balance to everything, the duality of Yin & Yang. But magic comes in threes. The transition; usually signaled by the arrival of a comet, begins. The trials commence, the mythology finds its footing and builds, tempered in fire by the evil that wants them to fail. Wholesomeness and decency have fallen out of favor. They rankle the nightmares who prefer the world dark. Snow White's lookalike has been poisoned. Prince Charming was bankrupted and sold into bondage. It has all been building to here. The cast of Gathering & Persistence failed to comprehend the rules of the game. Every two thousand years, a transformation takes place, and the world changes. But for a smooth transition, the pieces had to be gathered. Temperaments grew and matured. A cast of wanderers, warriors, and wisdom seekers discovered. A new group, forged in fire, came together. But God has a sense of humor. It is not until you free yourself of all you thought you knew that you see it. Christmas is indeed a feeling, a gift that needs earning. Christmas is not a given, but there are protectors, and always, there are two. Santa Claus is not a person. It is a couple. A thousand individual pieces. A million clues. If we find our hearts, we get paradise again. You see, God works in mysterious ways. But it has given us free will and placed the clues in plain sight; our story, written and preserved in the library of forever. With any jigsaw puzzle, you start with the edges and follow the colors. The patterns begin to build with every piece laid until the bigger picture emerges. But God has a sense of humor, and it's not until you set yourself free that you see the depth of it. We find hope in our adolescent fables. We all have a destiny, however minor that may be. Something summoned, significant, consequential even, to some effect, that resides somewhere within our hearts. By completing my childhood promise, my life took a turn. What started as a debt paid grew into something beyond my wildest imagination. I hope I can do it justice. Christmas is coming. "When did you two grumpmuffins know?" "Leo told us after we initiated him." "He had been visiting her in dreams, so he knew your other half." "We set out to find the rest of the puzzle when M'olga tore us apart. You're not going to believe what we found." “Just so you know, Rudolph isn't red; he's an orange."

Book excerpt: In New York Times bestselling author Lisa Kleypas's Dream Lake, readers well enter the world of Friday Harbor, an enchanting town in the Pacific Northwest where things are not quite as they seem and where true love might just have a ghost of a chance... They say that opposites attract. But what happens when one of them has been devastated by betrayal and the other is so damaged and jaded that his heart is made of stone? Alex Nolan is about as bitter and cynical as they come. One of three Nolan brothers who call Friday Harbor home, he's nothing like Sam or Mark. They actually believe in love; they think the risk of pain is worth the chance of happiness. But Alex battles his demons with the help of a whiskey bottle, and he lives in his own private hell. And then, a ghost shows up. Only Alex can see him. Has Alex finally crossed over the threshold to insanity? Zoë Hoffman is as gentle and romantic as they come. When she meets the startlingly gorgeous Alex Nolan, all her instincts tell her to run. Even Alex tells her to run. But something in him calls to Zoë, and she forces him to take a look at his life with a clear eye and to open his mind to the possibility that love isn't for the foolish. The ghost has been existing in the half-light of this world for decades. He doesn't know who he is, or why he is stuck in the Nolans' Victorian house. All he knows is that he loved a girl once. And Alex and Zoë hold the key to unlocking a mystery that keeps him trapped here. Zoë and Alex are oil and water, fire and ice, sunshine and shadow. But sometimes it takes only a glimmer of light to chase away the dark, and sometimes love can reach beyond time, space, and reason to take hold of hearts that yearn for it...

Download or read book And Never Let Her Go written by Ann Rule and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2000-02-05 with total page 480 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the #1 New York Times–bestselling author, the true story of a woman’s disappearance after her affair with a married man is a “true page-turner” (Booklist). The author of fifteen New York Times bestsellers, Ann Rule, a former Seattle policewoman, has researched thousands of homicides and understands every facet of murder investigation. Now, in the most shocking book of her long career, she explores the details of a fatal affair between a beautiful young woman and a widely admired millionaire attorney who was an immensely popular political figure. On June 27, 1996, thirty-year-old Anne Marie Fahey, a secretary for the governor of Delaware, had dinner with a married man she had been having a secret affair with for more than two years. “Tommy” Capano, forty-seven, was perhaps the most politically powerful man in Wilmington. Son of a wealthy contractor, former state prosecutor, partner in a prestigious law firm, advisor to governors and mayors, Tom Capano had a soft-spoken and considerate manner that endeared him to many. But sometime after 9:15 that night when Anne Marie and Tom left the restaurant, something terrible happened to Anne Marie. It would be forty-eight hours before her brothers and sisters realized that she had disappeared entirely. Ann Rule brilliantly traces the lives of both Fahey and Capano as she discloses the intimate details of their ill-fated connection. A vulnerable, trusting woman becomes spellbound by a charming, duplicitous married man, and what begins as a seemingly unremarkable affair is slowly transformed into an obsessive, convoluted, and deadly relationship. “ [A] truly creepy true-crime story.” —People “[Rule] tell[s] the sad story with authority, flair, and pace.” —The Washington Post
Download or read book Moonrise written by Mitchell Smith and published by Macmillan + ORM. This book was released on 2007-04-01 with total page 477 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Several hundred years after a change in the orbit of Jupiter sent the Earth into a new Ice Age, remnants of civilization battle over territory and technology. A generation has passed since Sam Monroe defeated the Great Khan, became King of Middle Kingdom, and ushered in an era of peace and prosperity, a time when Middle Kingdom grew even more powerful, driven by trade and emerging technology. In a grand gesture, Sam and Queen Rachel adopted the young son of their former enemy and raised him as a prince, second only to the heir to Middle Kingdom's throne. The accidental drowning deaths of the King and Queen trigger the assassination of the Crown Price. Bajazet, too, is attacked, lest he serve as a rallying point for those who support the royal family. Barely twenty, the once-pampered Bajazet flees for his life. Stumbling through the forest, prey where he once was the hunter and with the usurper King's forces on his heels, Bajazet is rescued by a trio of genetically engineered "Persons": Richard, who is almost more bear than human; Nancy, a cunning little vixen; and Errol, whose very human exterior hides a weasel's cold, cruel heart. Boston, buried under glacial ice, gave them life. Boston's perverted technology, used to conquer and oppress, seems almost like magic to the North Americans who are slowly dragging themselves back up the ladder of civilization. Now the rulers of Boston eye the chaos in Middle Kingdom and find it ripe for conquest. Bajazet's new friends are plotting the frozen city's destruction. The one-time Prince, now a lonely warrior, has one choice---help destroy Boston, or die. At the Publisher's request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management Software (DRM) applied.

Download or read book Bird Dream written by Matt Higgins and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2014-07-31 with total page 303 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: PEN / ESPN Award for Literary Sports Writing (2015 LONGLIST) “[P]erversely entertaining... In a truly intoxicating read that was hard to put down, Matt Higgins has managed to make real a world about as far removed from daily life as it gets.” --Daily Beast "Matt Higgins cracks open this astonishingly dangerous sport and captures the spectacular adrenaline surges it delivers."--The Wall Street Journal "[R]iveting... a must-read. A highflying, electrifying story." --Kirkus (STARRED) A heart-stopping narrative of risk and courage, Bird Dream tells the story of the remarkable men and women who pioneered the latest advances in aerial exploration—from skydiving to BASE jumping to wingsuit flying—and made history with their daring. By the end of the twentieth century BASE jumping was the most dangerous of all the extreme sports, with thrill-seeking jumpers parachuting from bridges, mountains, radio towers, and even skyscrapers. Despite numerous fatalities and legal skirmishes, BASE jumpers like Jeb Corliss of California thought they had discovered the ultimate rush. But all this changed for Corliss in 1999, when, high in the mountains of northern Italy, he and other jumpers watched in wonder as a stranger—wearing a cunning new jumpsuit featuring “wings” between the arms and legs—leaped from a ledge and then actually flew from the vertiginous cliffs. Drawing on intimate access to Corliss and other top pilots from around the globe,Bird Dream tracks the evolution of the wingsuit movement through the larger than life characters who, in an age of viral video, forced the sport onto the world stage. Their exploits—which entranced millions of fans along the way—defied imagination. They were flying; not like the Wright brothers, but the way we do in our dreams. Some dared to dream of going further yet, to a day when a wingsuit pilot might fly, and land, all without a parachute. A growing number of wingsuit pilots began plotting ways in which a human being might leap from the sky and land. A half dozen groups around the world were dedicated to this quest for a “wingsuit landing,” conjuring the pursuit of nations that once inspired the race to first summit Everest. Given his fame as a stuntman, the brash, publicity-hungry Corliss remained the popular favorite to claim the first landing. Yet Bird Dream also tracks the path of another man, Gary Connery—a forty-two-year-old Englishman—who was quietly plotting to beat Corliss at his own game. Accompanied by an international cast of wingsuit devotees—including a Finnish magician, a parachute tester from Brazil, an Australian computer programmer, a gruff hang-gliding champion-turned-aeronautical engineer, a French skydiving champion, and a South African costume designer—Corliss and Connery raced to leap into the unknown, a contest that would lead to triumph for one and nearly cost the other his life. Based on five years of firsthand reporting and original interviews, Bird Dream is the work of journalist Matt Higgins, who traveled the world alongside these extraordinary men and women as they jumped and flew in Europe, Africa, Asia, and the Americas. Offering a behind-the-scenes take on some of the most spectacular and disastrous events of the wingsuit movement, Higgins’s Bird Dream is a riveting, adrenaline-fueled adventure at the very edge of human experience.
Book Synopsis Dreaming of Stones by : Christine Valters Paintner
Download or read book Dreaming of Stones written by Christine Valters Paintner and published by Paraclete Press. This book was released on 2019-03-01 with total page 114 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The poems in Dreaming of Stones are about what endures: hope and desire, changing seasons, wild places, love, and the wisdom of mystics. Inspired by the poet’s time living in Ireland these readings invite you into deeper ways of seeing the world. They have an incantational quality. Drawing on her commitment as a Benedictine oblate, the poems arise out of a practice of sitting in silence and lectio divina, in which life becomes the holy text. No stranger to poetry, Paintner’s bestselling spirituality titles have often included poems. In this first exclusively poetic collection, she writes with a contemplative heart about kinship with nature, ancestral connections, intimacy, the landscape, the unfolding nature of time, and Christian mystics. It can be read for reflection to spark the heart and to offer solace and inspiration in difficult times. Breath This breathing in is a miracle, this breathing out, release, this breathing in a welcome to the unseen gifts which sustain me each moment, this breathing out a sweet sigh, a bow to my mortality, this breathing in a holy yes to life, this breathing out a sacred no to all that causes me to clench and grasp, this breathing in is a revelation, this breathing out, freedom.

Book Synopsis rama and the dragon by : Idwār Kharrāṭ
Download or read book rama and the dragon written by Idwār Kharrāṭ and published by American Univ in Cairo Press. This book was released on 2002 with total page 348 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rama and the Dragon, a multi-layered novel about the depths of human experience and the struggle between polarities, on the surface presents a love story of unrequited passion between Rama -- the symbol of multiplicity and creativity -- and Mikhail -- the symbol of unity and constancy. Their story reflects the relationship not only between man and woman, Copt and Muslim, but also between Upper and Lower Egypt. Through a delicate grid of intertextual references and juxtaposed narratives, the dreams and hopes, fears and defeats of Rama and Mikhail move from the local to the global, corresponding to human dreams and anxieties everywhere. In this novel, Edwar al-Kharrat has created a unique form of narrative discourse in which he presents Egyptian realities and actualities of the 1960s and 1970s, with flashbacks to as early as the 1940s, in an aesthetic form that highlights historical moments while blending philosophical, mythical, and psychological perspectives in a literary parallel to the cinematic technique of montage. In their citation awarding al-Kharrat the Mahfouz Medal, the judges stated: ''Rama and the Dragon is considered a breakthrough in the literary history of modern Arabic fiction.''
