Book excerpt: This new history reveals the previously untold story of why and how trains have been used to transport the dead, enabling their burial in a place of significance to the bereaved. Profusely illustrated with many images, some never previously published, Nicolas Wheatley's work details how the mainline railways carried out this important yet often hidden work from the Victorian age to the 1980s, as well as how ceremonial funeral transport continues on heritage railways today. From royalty, aristocrats and other VIPs (including Sir Winston Churchill and the Unknown Warrior) to victims of accidents and ordinary people, Final Journey explores the way in which these people travelled for the last time by train before being laid to rest.

Download or read book Tuff Ship written by Jack Fringe and published by Jack Fringe. This book was released on 2024-07-07 with total page 414 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this darkly absurd seafaring satire set during the 1970s, the ageing Navy destroyer HMAS Mulga becomes a floating circus of incompetence and chaos. At the helm is the egotistical Captain Doherty, whose unchecked ambition and political connections wreak havoc on his long-suffering crew Author Jack Fringe gleefully skewers the pomp and politics of the Australian Navy in “TUFF SHIP.” When a stowaway cat named Sneaky appears on board, it triggers a domino effect of misfortunes—from scandalous affairs to suspicious deaths. As the four-month voyage descends into mayhem, the crew prays for its end. For readers, “TUFF SHIP” offers a rollicking adventure brimming with colorful characters and laugh-out-loud moments. But for the hapless sailors, it’s pure hell. Our unassuming hero, the Captain’s Steward Mario Naldani, unknowingly becomes the catalyst for change and destruction. Meanwhile, the Chief Coxswain’s increasingly erratic behavior pushes the crew to their limits. As tensions mount and sanity wears thin, the sailors discover just how far they can be pushed as they strive to break the Chief Coxswain. Alternating between hilarious antics and poignant moments, “TUFF SHIP” navigates the turbulent waters of naval bureaucracy, questioning ambition, loyalty, and the limits of human endurance. This motley crew of underdogs reveals their best and worst traits as they struggle with the insanity of the hierarchy. Dive into a tale so audacious it borders on the unbelievable, yet resonates with the unmistakable ring of truth for anyone who’s ever found themselves at the mercy of absurd authority. “TUFF SHIP” is a satirical voyage you won’t forget.

Book Synopsis A Ship Called Grace by : Douglas Berry
Download or read book A Ship Called Grace written by Douglas Berry and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2001-04 with total page 462 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a story of conflict and adventure, pitting the secular triad of money, lust, and power against the religious trinity of the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost. It is a religious/historical novel that concerns the slave trade in the Eighteen-thirties with the building of a slave ship in a small, coastal village in Nova Scotia, Canada. It includes a Methodist religious revival; a stormy sea voyage by a youth in a small sailing craft, an African trek capturing slaves, a slave ship caught in the doldrums in the South Atlantic, and, later, shipwrecked in a hurricane off of the coast of Haiti, a Voodoo ceremony; the attempted destruction of the new ship; and―of course―a love story. The new ship, named Grace, is owned by a New England sea captain and his nephew, who believe they live in a state of grace in which their sins have been forgiven before they are committed (Rom. 8: 1). The youth goes to Africa with the captain after being saved in the Methodist camp meeting, and is confronted with justifying his newly found faith with the injustices he finds in the slave trade.
Book Synopsis The New Testament by : Arthur J. Bellinzoni
Download or read book The New Testament written by Arthur J. Bellinzoni and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2016-02-10 with total page 488 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is not your typical introduction to the New Testament. Rather, Bellinzoni invites the reader to understand how biblical scholars employ the historical method to understand better who Jesus of Nazareth really was and how and why oral and then written tradition about Jesus developed into the New Testament. Instead of simply summarizing the results of biblical scholarship, Bellinzoni discusses the rules of evidence and the tools of the historical method that scholars use. He then approaches the text of the New Testament by leading the reader step by step through relevant biblical texts in order to illustrate some of the tools of New Testament study and how these tools work: textual criticism, literary criticism and philology, source criticism, form criticism, redaction criticism, etc. This volume doesn't just describe the conclusions of biblical scholarship; it invites the reader to actually do biblical scholarship and thereby draw the best possible conclusions about what happened, when, and why. This volume is not limited to the twenty-seven books of the New Testament, but discusses relevant extra-canonical early Christian literature, which is critical to an understanding of the history of the early church and the development of the New Testament canon.
Book Synopsis Trinacria, 'An Island Outside Time' by : Christopher Prescott
Download or read book Trinacria, 'An Island Outside Time' written by Christopher Prescott and published by Oxbow Books. This book was released on 2021-05-12 with total page 666 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Trinacria, the ancient name for Sicily extending back to Homeric Greek, has understandably been the focus of decades of archaeological research. Recognizing Sicily’s rich prehistory and pivotal role in the history of the Mediterranean, Sebastiano Tusa - professor, head of heritage agencies and councillor for Cultural Heritage for the Sicilian Region - promoted the exploration of the island’s heritage through international collaboration. His decades of fostering research initiatives not only produced rich archaeological results spanning the Palaeolithic to the modern era but brought scholars from a range of schools and disciplines to work together in Sicily. Through his efforts, uniquely productive methodological, theoretical and interpretative networks were created. Their impact extends far beyond Sicily and Italy. To highlight these networks and their results, the Institutum Romanum Finlandiae, the Swedish Institute in Rome, the Norwegian Institute in Rome, the British School at Rome and the Assessorato dei Beni Culturali of Sicily, with generous support from the Swedish Riksbankens Jubileumsfond, assembled this anthology of papers. The aim is to present a selection of the work of and results from contemporary, multi-national research projects in Sicily. The collaboration between the Sicilian and international partners, often in an interdisciplinary framework, has generated important results and perspectives. The articles in this volume present research projects from throughout the island. The core of the articles is concerned with the Archaic through to the Roman period, but diachronic studies also trace lines back to the Stone Age and up to the contemporary era. A range of methods and sources are explored, thus creating an up-to-date volume that is a referential gateway to contemporary Sicilian archaeology.
Book Synopsis From Shipbreaking to Sustainable Ship Recycling by : Tony George Puthucherril
Download or read book From Shipbreaking to Sustainable Ship Recycling written by Tony George Puthucherril and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2010-03-08 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ship recycling conserves resources, employs an unskilled workforce, and removes outdated tonnage. Operating mainly on the Indian subcontinent, this ‘primitive’ industry often results in loss of human life and pollution of the marine environment. Despite moral indignation, the international community has struggled to manage this industry and only recently completed the IMO International Convention for the Safe and Environmentally Sound Recycling of Ships. Using the Indian experience on shipbreaking as a case study, this book assesses the strengths and weaknesses of the Convention. The author argues that the Convention may not succeed because it fails to strike a balance between environmental protection, human rights, and commercial realities. The book offers recommendations for a holistic and integrated approach to a sustainable ship recycling industry.

Book Synopsis The Gurob Ship-Cart Model and Its Mediterranean Context by : Shelley Wachsmann
Download or read book The Gurob Ship-Cart Model and Its Mediterranean Context written by Shelley Wachsmann and published by Texas A&M University Press. This book was released on 2013-01-09 with total page 498 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When Shelley Wachsmann began his analysis of the small ship model excavated by assistants of famed Egyptologist W. M. F. Petrie in Gurob, Egypt, in 1920, he expected to produce a brief monograph that would shed light on the model and the ship type that it represented. Instead, Wachsmann discovered that the model held clues to the identities and cultures of the enigmatic Sea Peoples, to the religious practices of ancient Egypt and Greece, and to the oared ships used by the Bronze Age Mycenaean Greeks. Although found in Egypt, the prototype of the Gurob model was clearly an Aegean-style galley of a type used by both the Mycenaeans and the Sea Peoples. The model is the most detailed representation presently known of this vessel type, which played a major role in changing the course of world history. Contemporaneous textual evidence for Sherden—one of the Sea Peoples—settled in the region suggests that the model may be patterned after a galley of that culture. Bearing a typical Helladic bird-head decoration topping the stempost, with holes along the sheer strakes confirming the use of stanchions, the model was found with four wheels and other evidence for a wagon-like support structure, connecting it with European cultic prototypes. The online resources that accompany the book illustrate Wachsmann’s research and analysis. They include 3D interactive models that allow readers to examine the Gurob model on their computers as if held in the hand, both in its present state and in two hypothetical reconstructions. The online component also contains high-resolution color photos of the model, maps and satellite photos of the site, and other related materials. Offering a wide range of insights and evidence for linkages among ancient Mediterranean peoples and traditions, The Gurob Ship-Cart Model and Its Mediterranean Context presents an invaluable asset for anyone interested in the complexities of cultural change in the eastern Mediterranean at the end of the Bronze Age and the beginning of the Iron Age. The Gurob ship-cart model is/was part of an exhibition entitled Beyond the Nile: Egypt and the Classical World, at the J. Paul Getty Center (March 27-September 9, 2018).
