Book excerpt: In this extraordinary Caldecott Medal winner and New York Times bestseller by David Wiesner, a beach day is the springboard to a wildly imaginative exploration of fantastical mysteries of the deep—and of human connections through time. A young boy comes to the beach eager to collect and examine flotsam—anything floating that has been washed ashore. But nothing among his usual finds compares with the discovery of a barnacle-encrusted underwater camera with its own secrets to share...and to keep. Meet unexpected underseas denizens and enter fascinating worlds within worlds in this entrancing celebration of imagination, creativity, and the impulse to share that which delights and amazes us. A beautiful picture book by a master of the form, David Wiesner, who has been awarded the Caldecott Medal three times and the Caldecott Honor twice.

This book was released on 2009-07-01 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A plague was erupted. The victim suffers a two-month latent period during which he is infectious but shows no symptoms. The virus is spread by aerosol, so that millions of people are soon infected and infectious, but without knowing it. At the climax of he disease, there is what a character calls a rite of distribution. At the climax the victim does what he or she most wanted or feared doing, the idea being that this kind of fear is laced with fascination. As America (like the rest of the world) sinks into chaos, as the Red Deaths kills forty percent of the population, two fiercely antagonistic groups emerge. Theres the apocalyptic religious group called Swimmers, because their charismatic leader was first seen swimming out of the Hudson River. The other group jokingly calls itself Our Gang, a very mixed group that has become immune to the plague as a by-product of an experimental treatment of herpes. What they see and do as they hike north from New York City to a farm upstate forms the substance of the novel.

Book excerpt: The ocean gives up many prizes, just setting them on our beaches for us to find. From rubber ducks that started out somewhere in Indonesia to land Venice Beach, to an intact refrigerator makes it way to the Jersey Shore. Chunks of beeswax found on the Oregon coast are the packing remnants of 18th century Spanish gold. Author Skye Moody walks the coast, dons her wet suit, and heads out to sea to understand the excellent debris that accrues along the tideline. There she finds advanced military technology applied to locating buried Rolexes, hardcore competitive beachcombing conventions, and isolated beach communities whose residents are like flotsam congregated at the slightest obstacle on the coastline. This book confirms that the world is a mysterious place and that treasure is out there to be found.
Book Synopsis Flotsametrics and the Floating World by : Curtis Ebbesmeyer
Download or read book Flotsametrics and the Floating World written by Curtis Ebbesmeyer and published by Harper Collins. This book was released on 2009-03-24 with total page 310 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pioneering oceanographer Curtis Ebbesmeyer unravels the mystery of marine currents, uncovers the astonishing story of flotsam, and changes the world's view of trash, the ocean, and our global environment. Curtis Ebbesmeyer is no ordinary scientist. He's been a consulting oceanographer for multinational firms and a lead scientist on international research expeditions, but he's never held a conventional academic appointment. He seized the world's imagination as no other scientist could when he and his worldwide network of beachcomber volunteers traced the ocean's currents using thousands of sneakers and plastic bath toys spilled from storm-tossed freighters. Now, for the first time, Ebbesmeyer tells the story of his lifelong struggle to solve the sea's mysteries while sharing his most surprising discoveries. He recounts how flotsam has changed the course of history—leading Viking mariners to safe harbors, Columbus to the New World, and Japan to open up to the West—and how it may even have made the origin of life possible. He chases icebergs and floating islands; investigates ocean mysteries from ghost ships to a spate of washed-up severed feet on Canadian beaches; and explores the enormous floating "garbage patches" and waste-heaped "junk beaches" that collect the flotsam and jetsam of industrial society. Finally, Ebbesmeyer reveals the rhythmic and harmonic order in the vast oceanic currents called gyres—"the heartbeat of the world "—and the threats that global warming and disintegrating plastic waste pose to the seas . . . and to us.

Book excerpt: "Excellent noir yarn with well interwoven demonic and supernatural aspects..." -Alan Baxter, author of Alex Caine seriesMy name's Keith Murphy. For nearly two decades, Danny Roark and I hunted down the dark things that prey on normal humans. But, on what we thought was a routine assassination job, something went wrong. Because of this, the end of the world is coming at us like a possessed freight train.Now I'm running. Running doesn't bother me. Running's a survival trait. What bothers me is the 9mm bullet I swallowed, the one with the soul of my last victim trapped inside it; the job that went wrong. He was the leader of a bloodthirsty cult that won't let a little thing like death stop them.When Roark goes down, it's me who has to figure out what those fools left over from the Raven cult have planned. It's a puzzle I've got to figure out before the Gloom gets too strong and the real monsters--ones that my rag-tag, mostly demonic, army can't handle--come through.Roark was the one who knew about all this magic and end of the world stuff, not me. I guess I'll figured it out as I go. The end of the world is still coming, but it's got to kill me first.The Flotsam Trilogy contains the novellas Exile, Frost, and Crusade as well as two more stories from the gold coast, "Local Heroes" and "Tithes.""Suitably brutal and inventive..."-David Versace, The Lexifabricographer
