Book excerpt: In the depths of the vast Caribbean ocean, where turquoise waters and hidden mysteries converge, lies a tale of intrigue, adventure, and unbridled ambition. It is in this backdrop of legends and whispers that our story unfolds: "Treasures and Betrayals: In Search of the Isle of Death." Aboard the majestic English ship, the New Horizon, a bold and diverse crew assembles for a challenge that will alter their destinies forever. Led by the courageous Captain Noel, a man whose passion for adventure is matched only by his determination, the team is resolute in unraveling the secrets of an ancient legend. The lost island, known only in hushed tones as the "Isle of Death," is the enigma they tirelessly pursue. Alongside Noel, his loyal companions Yanick, Vivian, Leo, and Marlo bring their unique skills and contrasting personalities to the quest. Each carries their own dreams and personal reasons for embarking on this perilous and exhilarating journey. The promise of a legendary treasure, particularly the great emerald rumored to rest at the heart of the island, awakens ambitions and desires that could forge or fracture their unity. But as in any great story, challenges soon emerge. The ship Devil Soul and its enigmatic Captain Jordan Black stand as formidable obstacles in their pursuit. With a dark past and ruthless cunning, Black and his crew are willing to fight to their last breath to protect their secrets and retain control of the legendary island. As the journey progresses, treacherous winds and furious storms threaten to divert them from their course and test their resilience. Inevitable confrontations loom on the horizon, and the battle on the tempestuous waters becomes an epic struggle for supremacy and survival. Yet amidst adversity, life sometimes weaves unexpected alliances. When fate compels the crew of the New Horizon to form an uncertain alliance with old rivals.

Book excerpt: As Bob and Mildred Lee, they amazed audiences with their death-defying motorcycle act. In reality they were Bob and Mildred Restall, parents of three, who balanced their glamorous show-business career with a happy, stable home life. In October 1959, the Restalls embarked on the ultimate family adventure, as Bob led his family to the east coast of Canada to dig for the famous treasure of Oak Island. For nearly six years they lived without telephone, hydro, or running water while newspapers and magazines chronicled their attempts to solve the mystery of the Money Pit. On August 17, 1965, their quest ended in tragedy when four men died. This biography, compiled by their daughter, includes material written by each family member. Lyrical descriptions of nature, amusing anecdotes, details of the dig, and numerous photographs help to tell the story. This book is a must for Oak Island enthusiasts.
Book Synopsis The Oil Wars Myth by : Emily L. Meierding
Download or read book The Oil Wars Myth written by Emily L. Meierding and published by Cornell University Press. This book was released on 2020-05-15 with total page 171 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Do countries fight wars for oil? Given the resource's exceptional military and economic importance, most people assume that states will do anything to obtain it. Challenging this conventional wisdom, The Oil Wars Myth reveals that countries do not launch major conflicts to acquire petroleum resources. Emily Meierding argues that the costs of foreign invasion, territorial occupation, international retaliation, and damage to oil company relations deter even the most powerful countries from initiating "classic oil wars." Examining a century of interstate violence, she demonstrates that, at most, countries have engaged in mild sparring to advance their petroleum ambitions. The Oil Wars Myth elaborates on these findings by reassessing the presumed oil motives for many of the twentieth century's most prominent international conflicts: World War II, the two American Gulf wars, the Iran–Iraq War, the Falklands/Malvinas War, and the Chaco War. These case studies show that countries have consistently refrained from fighting for oil. Meierding also explains why oil war assumptions are so common, despite the lack of supporting evidence. Since classic oil wars exist at the intersection of need and greed—two popular explanations for resource grabs—they are unusually easy to believe in. The Oil Wars Myth will engage and inform anyone interested in oil, war, and the narratives that connect them.

Book Synopsis The Nineteenth-Century Child and Consumer Culture by : Dennis Denisoff
Download or read book The Nineteenth-Century Child and Consumer Culture written by Dennis Denisoff and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-12-05 with total page 379 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the rise of consumer culture in the nineteenth century, children and childhood were called on to fulfill a range of important roles. In addition to being consumers themselves, the young functioned as both 'goods' to be used and consumed by adults and as proof that middle-class materialist ventures were assisting in the formation of a more ethical society. Children also provided necessary labor and raw material for industry. This diverse collection addresses the roles assigned to children in the context of nineteenth-century consumer culture, at the same time that it remains steadfast in recognizing that the young did not simply exist within adult-articulated cultural contexts but were agents in their formation. Topics include toys and middle-class childhood; boyhood and toy theater; child performers on the Victorian stage; gender, sexuality and consumerism; imperialism in adventure fiction; the idealization of childhood as a form of adult entertainment and self-flattery; the commercialization of orphans; and the economics behind formulations of child poverty. Together, the essays demonstrate the rising investment both children and adults made in commodities as sources of identity and human worth.
