Download or read book The Nantucket Sleighride written by James Philip and published by . This book was released on 2017-08-22 with total page 378 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Nantucket Sleighride is the third Frankie Ransom story.Nantucket Sleighride (description: from Wikipedia) - 'A Nantucket sleighride was a term used by Nantucket whale men to describe what occurs immediately following the harpooning of a whale. The whale, realizing it had been harpooned, would attempt to flee and thus drag the whaleboat along with it... The length of the drag for the sailors would last as long as the whale could swim before it became exhausted..'Eighteen months after her rescue from the hands of murderous Balkan gangsters Frankie is finally resuming her full-time career in the Met. The trouble is that the Met has fallen out of love with her, and in her heart, she's afraid she's fallen out of love with it.She'd been promised a 'proper' police job in the Homicide and Serious Crime Command, what she'd got wasn't even close. She'd been promised she'd be working with an elite team of experienced detectives, what she'd got was a squad of malcontents, troublemakers and time-servers. And worst of all, she discovers she's been appointed London's unofficial 'Celebrity Cop'. As if to add insult to injury, Professional Standards are on her case. Not because she's done anything wrong but because the very thing she'd been afraid of all along has happened: she has become the story.So, when somebody breaks into a prestigious Oxford Street gallery and destroys the most famous painting of the New England School, The Nantucket Sleighride, a priceless World Heritage Treasure, Frankie is back in the news. Big Time.Immediately, London's Celebrity Cop is pitted against the secretive, uncooperative art establishment aided and abetted by the Met's own Fine Arts and Antiquities Squad. Within days she finds herself embroiled in a century-old feud between two rich and powerful New England families. Then the mutilated body of a young woman with the same name as a nineteenth century whale ship is dragged out of the River Thames.Suddenly, like the long dead whale hunters depicted in the sweeping narrative seascape of The Nantucket Sleighride, Frankie finds herself being swept faster and faster into a dangerous maelstrom of family, political and sexual tensions; and rushing headlong towards a new and unexpected turning point in her life, riding her own, very personal Nantucket Sleighride.

Book Synopsis Nantucket Sleighride by : Christopher Bucklow
Download or read book Nantucket Sleighride written by Christopher Bucklow and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 334 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This extraordinary book is a window into the heart and mind, and the very sub-conscious of international artist Christopher Bucklow. It is a vital coda, a manual, or enchiridion to a lifetime of honest and generous exploration in the fields of painting, of photography and of psychology. In this astonishing account, Bucklow has painstakingly recorded every dream over a thirty year period and like the amanuensis of his own psyche presents them here in a frank and unvarnished form. In addition to the dreams themselves, Bucklow has appended a guide to the interpretation of this lifetime work. 'The Water Margin' is a separate essay which acts as a guide to the dreams themselves and crucially as a guide to the reader; a primer if you like, for their own investigations. 'The Water Margin' is in itself a huge undertaking. Taken with the dream compendium, it forms not only a lucid and essential companion to Bucklow's work, but a new and revealing manual to the metaphors of the reader's own unrevealed psyche."--back cover.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Los Angeles Times Best Non-Fiction Book of 2007 A Boston Globe Best Non-Fiction Book of 2007 Amazon.com Editors pick as one of the 10 best history books of 2007 Winner of the 2007 John Lyman Award for U. S. Maritime History, given by the North American Society for Oceanic History "The best history of American whaling to come along in a generation." —Nathaniel Philbrick The epic history of the "iron men in wooden boats" who built an industrial empire through the pursuit of whales. "To produce a mighty book, you must choose a mighty theme," Herman Melville proclaimed, and this absorbing history demonstrates that few things can capture the sheer danger and desperation of men on the deep sea as dramatically as whaling. Eric Jay Dolin begins his vivid narrative with Captain John Smith's botched whaling expedition to the New World in 1614. He then chronicles the rise of a burgeoning industry—from its brutal struggles during the Revolutionary period to its golden age in the mid-1800s when a fleet of more than 700 ships hunted the seas and American whale oil lit the world, to its decline as the twentieth century dawned. This sweeping social and economic history provides rich and often fantastic accounts of the men themselves, who mutinied, murdered, rioted, deserted, drank, scrimshawed, and recorded their experiences in journals and memoirs. Containing a wealth of naturalistic detail on whales, Leviathan is the most original and stirring history of American whaling in many decades.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The ties between women can run as deep as the ocean--but so can the secrets. For 20 years, Kayla, Antoinette and Val have performed their own special summer ritual. Once a year, the old friends put aside their daily, separate lives to drink champagne, swap stories and swim naked under the Nantucket stars. But on one of those bonding nights, one of their trio swims out from the shore and doesn't return. After the surviving friends emerge from their grief, they realize that the repercussions of their loss go far beyond their little circle, and they begin to uncover layers of secrets--and their connections to each other--that were never revealed on the beach. What has made their friendship strong now has the power to destroy--their marriages, families, even themselves, in Elin Hilderbrand's Nantucket Nights.
Book Synopsis The Last Voyage of the Whaling Bark Progress by : Daniel Gifford
Download or read book The Last Voyage of the Whaling Bark Progress written by Daniel Gifford and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2021-01-11 with total page 205 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The whaling bark Progress was a New Bedford ship transformed into a whaling museum for Chicago's 1893 world's fair. Traversing waterways across North America, the whaleship enthralled crowds from Montreal to Racine. Her ultimate fate, however, was to be a failed sideshow of marine curiosities and a metaphor for a dying industry out of step with Gilded Age America. This book uses the story of the Progress to detail the rise, fall, and eventual demise of the whaling industry in America. The legacy of this whaling bark can be found throughout New England and Chicago, and invites questions about what it means to transform a dying industry into a museum piece.
