Bad Water and Other Stories of the Alaskan Panhandle is a book of short stories set in southeast Alaska on an archipelago about the size of Florida. There are not many people and most of them live in a few small scattered towns. Some live in the more remote areas of the thousands of miles of coastline and hundreds of backwater bays and coves, making a living at whatever is available. Alaska is a place where geography and weather dictate human behavior, and that could mean eating the same dried beans, rice, deer meat and fish for a good part of the year. With no freeways and little law enforcement (a 911call means contacting the Coast Guard), people must learn to be self-sufficient, especially in times of emergencies. Sometimes people make their own solutions to solve problems. If a solution doesnt work and youre still alive, its time to try another! The folks that live in this remote part of Alaska do whatever it takes to make it work. Theres a freedom that cant be had in civilization, but the price is high. These are their stories.

Estrellas y borrascas es el relato de la ascensión del guía Gaston Rébuffat de las seis caras norte más famosas de los Alpes: la del Dru, la de las Grandes Jorasses, del Eiger, del Cervino, del Piz Badile y de la Cima Grande di Lavaredo. Pero este gran clasico de la literatura alpina nos ofrece mucho mas que un conjunto de relatos de ascensiones, prestigiosas por si mismas. Transmite la historia de la voraz vocacion montañera de un joven marselles, convertido en uno de los mas celebres alpinistas contemporaneos. Es tambien, a pesar de los episodios en ocasiones dramaticos, un relato de una aventura profundamente humana, pues segun Rebuffat la alta montaña es ante todo un asunto de amistad, tanto entre los hombres que la escalan como entre estos y las cimas que pretenden conquistar. Mas que ningun otro, el autor tiene el don de transmitir esta pasion misteriosa que se llama alpinismo, y de conseguir que el lector respire el aire sutil de la altitud. Publicado por primera vez en 1954, y traducido a numerosos idiomas, Estrellas y borrascas es la obra maestra de Gaston Rebuffat.

A thorough, "learn by doing" manual that introduces concepts by getting the reader to follow exercises, rather than by extensive discussion. A Java "Self-Tester" allows readers to determine whether they are ready to take Sun''s Java Certification exam. Java for Practitioners doesn just provide an introduction to Java, it also tells you all about object orientation. One of the biggest problems with many of the Java books currently on the market is that they only teach the language and ignore the object orientation aspects (or at best just devote one chapter to it). Not only does John Hunt cover both Java and object orientation thoroughly but he also realises that practitioners learn best by oing''and he writes this book to reflect that. Chapters are dippable-into and ideas and concepts are introduced by exercises and practical examples. The book does of course cover the new release - Java 2/JDK 1.2 - and it also includes the Java Self-Tester which lets readers determine whether they are ready to take Sun''s Java Certification exam. There is also an essential reference section which provides detailed solutions to real world Java problems, and new Java features. No one intending to move over to Java should be without this book.

The year is 2020 and President Trump has just announced that the world is bracing itself for the effects of a huge solar storm. 17 year old Jim Richards is a gawky, unimpressive teenager in Anchorage, Alaska. As chaos descends and society breaks down into anarchy and violence, his family team up with others to leave the city and take their chances in the Alaskan wilderness. They can no longer flick a switch to get what they want, no mobile or internet, in fact no communication at all with the wider world, how will it play out? Jim must step up, and in doing so, find his true self, his first love, and his destiny. How will the human race survive in this new world? The Provider is the first of the Alaskan Chronicles.

Religion is an essential part of our humanity. We all follow some form of religion, in the original meaning of the word. But organized religion establishes definitions, boundaries and hierarchies which the founders would be amazed by. This is perhaps more true of Christianity than most other religions, due to the short life of Jesus, his sudden death, the lack of any contemporary records. His teaching about the kingdom of God is great; it could see us through our time on earth. But his followers watered it down and soon lost it altogether. It became a kingdom in heaven for the few, rather than one here and now for everyone. The Church, or Churches, that resulted became increasingly irrelevant, even a hindrance, to seeing it realized. Many will always find security and truth in the traditions that developed, and good for them. But for those who cant, for those who have given up on religion or never thought it worth considering, the original teachings are worth another look. If we could recover them and live by them, we could change ourselves and the world for the better. We could bring God up to date.

This is the story of how, on 29 May, 1953, two men, both endowed with outstanding stamina and skill, reached the top of Everest and came back unscathed to rejoin their comrades. Yet this will not be the whole story, for the ascent of Everest was not the work of one day, nor even of those few anxious, unforgettable weeks in which we prepared and climbed this summer. It is, in fact, a tale of sustained and tenacious endeavour by many, over a long period of time... We of the 1953 Everest Expedition are proud to share the glory with our predecessors.Sir John Hunt

Warrior is the powerful true story of a British soldiers heroism during the Iraq War that reveals how he was ruthlessly sacrificed by the Establishment. Captain Tam Henderson was adopted as a baby in Glasgow. His family moved to England and he grew up on a violent council estate in Birmingham. At 16, he chose to join the famous Black Watch regiment. In a career spanning 23 years, he rose through the ranks and was deployed to conflicts in Northern Ireland, the Balkans and the Middle East.During the 2003 invasion of Iraq, Tam was in the thick of ferocious fighting and, amidst Basras chaos, he set up camp for the 200 men of Charlie Company, who were put in charge of the citys most volatile districts. Having fought to recover the body of one of his men killed in action, Tam was horrified when the chain gun on his Warrior tank malfunctioned, suddenly firing of its own accord and seriously injuring a comrade. He was told to take the rap but refused, insisting that the dangerous fault on the gun needed fixing. He was convicted by a kangaroo court at Saddams palace and sent home in disgrace. But Tam fought back and embarked upon the biggest battle of his life - against the Ministry of Defence and international arms companies.Pacy and starkly authentic, Warrior takes the reader on an exhilarating journey that is by turns horrific, humorous and poignantly reflective.

Ésta es la historia de cómo, el 29 de mayo de 1953, dos hombres, Tensing y Hillary, animados por una resolución inquebrantable, alcanzaron por primera vez la cumbre del Everest y regresaron incólumes a reunirse con el resto de la expedicion dirigida por John Hunt. El interes de este libro, un clasico entre los libros de montaña, sigue vivo, mas de cincuenta años despues de la gesta. Durante este tiempo otras personas han alcanzado tambien la cumbre, pero solo a los miembros de la expedicion britanica de 1953 les cabe el honor de haber sido los primeros. Dice el autor: 'En esta o en cualquier aventura de montaña, la escalada perfecta y de exito es fundamentalmente una labor de equipo. La ascension al Everest, acaso mas que la mayoria de las empresas humanas, exigia un grado muy elevado de abnegada cooperacion. Seria muy dificil encontrar un equipo mas estrechamente unido que el nuestro. En ello y en el trabajo de nuestros sherpas estuvo el secreto de nuestro exito' El emocionante capitulo sobre la parte final de la ascension a la cima se debe a la pluma del propio sir Edmund Hillary.
