Описание:

Would you have sailed a 30-foot sailboat to the South Pacific before GPS navigation and accessible ocean weather forecasts existed?


In 1976, after graduating from Harvard College, Mike Jacker embarked on a year-long voyage aboard Rhiannon with two friends named Louis and Clark. The three Midwestern boys had never experienced ocean sailing. Mikes captivating narrative takes you along on his remarkable adventures at sea and on land.


This compelling memoir, told with the benefit of four decades of hindsight, portrays an engaging voyage of personal discovery that depended on thoughtful planning, resourcefulness, and good luck.


Mike evocatively conveys his awe of the open ocean while authentically chronicling the vicissitudes of small boat cruising during a simpler era.


Sail aboard Rhiannon to:

- Gulf of Mexico during hurricane season

- Isla Mujeres and Cozumel, Mexico

- Belize

- Panama Canal Zone

- Galapagos

- Marquesas

- Tuamotus

- Society Islands

- Cook Islands

- Hawaii


Readers of Taken by the Wind will relive the crews transformation from nervous uncertainty to quiet confidence as the boys gradually prove their untested celestial navigation skills and self-sufficiency.


Taken by the Wind features:

- Color photos

- Hand-drawn maps

- An extensive Glossary

- Informative Appendices


Mikes sailing narrative is recounted in a straightforward readable prose. This book is suitable for sailors and non-sailors of all ages who dream of a sailing adventure to the South Pacific.


EXPERIENCE THIS ONCE-IN-A-LIFETIME JOURNEY AND ESCAPE ABOARD RHIANNON WITH MIKE TO A BYGONE ERA.

Описание:

"A fascinating literary and historical document, the most insightful look at the Beat Generation." Dan Wakefield, author of "New York in the Fifties" and "Going All the Way"

First published in 1978, "Jack's Book" gives us an intimate look into the life and times of the "King of the Beats." Through the words of the close friends, lovers, artists, and drinking buddies who survived him, writers Barry Gifford and Lawrence Lee recount Jack Kerouac's story, from his childhood in Lowell, Massachusetts, to his tragic end in Florida at the age of forty-seven. Including anecdotes from an eclectic list of well-known figures such as Allen Ginsberg, William S. Burroughs, and Gore Vidal, as well as Kerouac's ordinary acquaintances, this groundbreaking oral biography the first of its kind presents us with a remarkably insightful portrait of an American legend and the spirit of a generation."

Описание:

Jesus knew that people receive truth best when it was clothed in story. That is why when Jesus spoke to crowds, He always told parables (Mark 4:34). Jesus crafted and told stories to put people on the road to truth. Jackson seeks to imitate Jesus by crafting and telling stories with the same objective.


The title of this book is PARABLE SEEDS; Second Sowing. Jackson has already published the book, PARABLE SEEDS; First Sowing. Jackson has many seed-ideas for stories and he dreams of sowing more PARABLE SEEDS books.

Описание: The incredible true story of one of America's largest ransom cases--and the massive FBI and police manhunt to bring the radical captors to justice.

The New York Times described what happened to New York businessman Jack Teich as a "front page horror."

Two hundred FBI agents and Nassau County police officers combined forces to form a dragnet, hunt for his kidnappers, and rescue him.

Teich lay handcuffed and chained to the walls of a closet in the Bronx with a medical bandage wrapped around his head to cover his eyes. His captors demanded that his wife, Janet, drop a bag with $750,000 (the equivalent of four million dollars in today's currency) in a locker at Penn Station, making the Jack Teich ransom one of the highest in U.S. history at the time.

FBI and Nassau County police detectives spent over a year before finally uncovering the meticulously planned kidnapping ploy hatched by radical mastermind Richard Warren Williams. The FBI internally dubbed the Jack Teich kidnapping operation "Jacknap."

The real-life crime drama that followed proved stranger than fiction, involving a tense across-the-country manhunt, a trailer in California stuffed with tens of thousands of ransom dollars hidden inside, a contentious jury trial that dominated NYC headlines for months; a guilty verdict that was overturned twenty-one years later on a controversial technicality; a retrial stymied by a mysterious fire that incinerated court records; and a civil verdict ruling that the kidnapper pay Jack Teich back the ransom money, plus interest.

Operation Jacknap tells the incredible true crime story that continues even now. Indeed, as of this writing, no one knows where the majority of the ransom money is located.

Inside, Teich also details his offer of a reward to anyone helping track down the still missing money and kidnappers.
