Book Synopsis Down the Great Unknown by : Edward Dolnick
Download or read book Down the Great Unknown written by Edward Dolnick and published by Harper Collins. This book was released on 2009-03-17 with total page 386 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Drawing on rarely examined diaries and journals, Down the Great Unknown is the first book to tell the full, dramatic story of the Powell expedition. On May 24, 1869 a one-armed Civil War veteran, John Wesley Powell and a ragtag band of nine mountain men embarked on the last great quest in the American West. The Grand Canyon, not explored before, was as mysterious as Atlantis—and as perilous. The ten men set out from Green River Station, Wyoming Territory down the Colorado in four wooden rowboats. Ninety-nine days later, six half-starved wretches came ashore near Callville, Arizona. Lewis and Clark opened the West in 1803, six decades later Powell and his scruffy band aimed to resolve the West’s last mystery. A brilliant narrative, a thrilling journey, a cast of memorable heroes—all these mark Down the Great Unknown, the true story of the last epic adventure on American soil.
Book Synopsis All Elevations Unknown by : Sam Lightner Jr.
Download or read book All Elevations Unknown written by Sam Lightner Jr. and published by Crown. This book was released on 2002-07-09 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Sam Lightner, Jr., combines two tales of adventure, one historic and the other modern-day in his page-turner . . . With its rich sense of place and history, All Elevations Unknown offers a surprisingly fresh twist to an adventure-climbing tale.” –Climbing Magazine In the spring of 1999, armed with little more than a description from a book and a map labeled “all elevations unknown,” Sam Lightner and his German rock-climbing buddy, Volker, found themselves deep in the jungles of Borneo on a mission to climb a mountain that was only rumored to exist. What little they knew about the mountain they had learned from the memoirs of Major Tom Harrisson, a British World War II soldier who in 1945 had been assigned the near-impossible mission of parachuting blindly into the thick Borneo rainforest–where the natives had a grisly habit of cutting off heads–to try to reclaim the island for the Allies. A captivating, utterly original combination of travel adventure memoir and historical re-creation, All Elevations Unknown charts Lightner’s exhilarating and at times harrowing quest to ascend the mountain Batu Lawi in the face of leeches, vipers, and sweat bees, and to keep his team together in one of the earth’s most treacherous uncharted pockets. Along the way, he reconstructs a fascinating historical narrative that chronicles Tom Harrisson’s adventures there during the war and illuminates an astonishing piece of forgotten World War II history. Rife with suspense and vivid detail, the two intertwining tales open up the island of Borneo, its people, and its history in a powerful, unforgettable way, taking adventure writing to new heights.

Book excerpt: On the night of March 31, 1967, in the midst of the Cold War, a series of incidents occurred in South Florida involving several unidentified flying objects, various U.S. military personnel, and two Cuban MiG-21 pilots that left all witnesses with more questions than answers. Bill Schroeder, a young fire control operator at B Battery in Key West, tracked these UFOs, which were traveling at incredible speeds, on radar and noticed that they were conducting some type of grid search.Not to be denied in their mission, these unknown craft evaded both U.S. and Cuban fighter jets that were scrambled to intercept them. Told by his superiors that the incident was simply part of a drill and not to discuss it with anyone, Schroeder lived with this secret for years before finally coming forward with his story. Author Jack Roth shares Schroeder's incredible account, along with other witness testimony and details that have been brought to light over the years as a result of Schroeder's persistent research. This long-overdue book also includes interviews with other military personnel who had similar UFO encounters during the Cold War and UFO researchers who point to the significance of cases like this that involve military/missile bases, military witnesses, confirmed radar acquisition, and other tangible evidence supporting the existence of UFOs.

Download or read book Class Unknown written by Mark Pittenger and published by NYU Press. This book was released on 2012-08-13 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the Gilded Age, social scientists, middle-class reformers, and writers have left the comforts of their offices to "pass" as steel workers, coal miners, assembly-line laborers, waitresses, hoboes, and other working and poor people in an attempt to gain a fuller and more authentic understanding of the lives of the working class and the poor. In this first, sweeping study of undercover investigations of work and poverty in America, award-winning historian Mark Pittenger examines how intellectuals were shaped by their experiences with the poor, and how despite their sympathy toward working-class people, they unintentionally helped to develop the contemporary concept of a degraded and "other" American underclass. While contributing to our understanding of the history of American social thought, Class Unknown offers a new perspective on contemporary debates over how we understand and represent our own society and its class divisions.
