Download or read book Don't Shoot the Albatross! written by Jonathan Eyers and published by A&C Black. This book was released on 2012-12-03 with total page 97 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sailors are a notoriously superstitious lot - even if some won't admit it. Years of taking to the water, at the mercy of uncontrollable (and sometimes deadly) forces, have led even the wisest to seek ways of influencing the gods or fate. From bad omens and odd rituals to lucky tokens and forbidden words, the superstitions of the sea are legion. Many of these superstitions have refused to go away and quite a few have entered the general public consciousness. Some are amusing in their own right, others have fascinating origins, whilst for many there are bizarre anecdotal incidents which would appear to lend credence to these arcane beliefs. Illustrated with quirky cartoons, this book explores nautical superstitions from all over the world in an informative yet entertaining way. Includes superstitions about: Boatbuilding, naming and launching; Lucky and unlucky dates to sail; People, things and animals not to let on board; Signs and portents at sea; Words not to say (and their alternatives); Predicting the weather; Fishing; and much, much more!

Antonia Darcy never imagined that taking her young grandson to his first day at nursery school would embroil her in a most baffling case of mistaken identity and murder. Major Payne, on the other hand, believed that it was their destiny. Olga Klimt played a dangerous game with the affections of the men in love with her, though she knew perfectly well there might be a high price to pay ... Among the unlikely murder suspects is a rich young heir to a biscuit fortune, his Aconite-addicted mother, his manservant and the headmistress of a prestigious nursery school. In this, their ninth investigation, husband and wife sleuths, Antonia Darcy and Major Payne, search desperately for answers before the killer strikes again.

Download or read book Mein Gustav written by Ira Campbell and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2019-03-27 with total page 785 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mein Gustav is a historical fiction set in and over Europe during World War I. Though the characters are fictional, the danger and circumstances are real, based on over fifty years of research into the aerial aspect of the conflagration. While there is plenty of flying, there are more interactions happening on the ground. The characters are, after all, people, and people do what people do. There are two stories presented—British and German. While they interact mostly by inference, there is also direct conflict in the air. The story starts with Corporal Noble-Brown, recently transferred into a British fighter squadron on patrol over the front lines that scarred France. He is startled by a German fighter pilot’s surprise attack and seeks to find said pilot and return the favor. The German story introduces us to Vicefeldwebel Gustav Model, also a recent transferee into a single-seat fighter squadron. We learn of his infantry service where he suffered a gas attack that nearly killed him. We go on to meet various squadron mates and other people in their lives, as well as discover new acquaintances. The women are strong women in a time when women were little more than property. Though on the surface it is about the war and flying, Mein Gustav is very much a character-driven story. Purchase your copy, settle in for the first few chapters, and see if you can put it down.
