Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Ships of Peace Before daybreak on Monday morning, July 5, 1742, a boy apprentice rolled quietly out from his cramped bed under the counter in his master's shop.

The soft hush-hush' of the incoming tide, which would be full that morning at 6 o'clock, spoke to him as he strode quickly away from Staithes, climb ing the hill to the cliff, and walked away southward for nine miles till the grey walls of Whitby Abbey loomed ahead of him across the harbour. He dropped down the hill to the town and was soon by the harbour side. As James Cook climbed aboard his chosen ship the outlines of the grey abbey stood up above the cliffs, catching the light of the morning sun.

It was to cause the fall of six French prime minsters and the collapse of the Fourth Repbulic. It came close to bringing down de Gaulle and - twice - to plunging France into civil war.The story told here contains heroism and tragedy, and poses issues of enduring relevance beyond the confines of either geography or time.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A long time ago in China, there existed three Books of Peace that proved so threatening to the reigning powers that they had them burned. Many years later Maxine Hong Kingston wrote a Fourth Book of Peace, but it too was burned--in the catastrophic Berkeley-Oakland Hills fire of 1991, a fire that coincided with the death of her father. Now in this visionary and redemptive work, Kingston completes her interrupted labor, weaving fiction and memoir into a luminous meditation on war and peace, devastation and renewal.
