Võluvalt romantiline, südamlik ja naljakas - Linda Holmesi esikromaan räägib üllatusliku armastusloo noore naise ja tipp-pesapalluri vahel, kellest üks on kaotanud oma mehe ja teine oma mänguoskused.Ühes unises mereäärses Maine'i osariigi linnas elab hiljaaegu leseks jäänud Eveleth Drake, Evvie. Kuigi tema mehe surmast on möödunud juba peaaegu terve aasta, lahkub Evvie oma suurest tühjast majast haruharva. New Yorgis maadleb samal ajal Dean Tenney, endine kõrgliiga pesapallur, läbikukkunud sportlaste õudusunenäoga: ta ei suuda enam palli visata, ja mis veel hullem: ta ei saa aru, miks.Kui Dean kolib väikesesse korterisse Evvie majas, sõlmivad nad omavahel kokkuleppe: Dean ei küsi Evvie surnud mehe kohta ja Evvie ei küsi Deani pesapallikarjääri kohta. Kõikide reeglite kiuste saab alguse ootamatu sõprus, millest peagi kasvab välja midagi enamat."Evvie Drake'i uus algus" on optimistlik ja humoorikas raamat, mis kutsub lugejat kaasa elama kahele inimesele, kellel pole esmapilgul teineteisega midagi ühist, kuid kes mõlemad teevad võimsa comeback'i ellu.

In this lively and engaging new biography, Harry Kelsey shatters the familiar image of Sir Francis Drake. The Drake of legend was a pious, brave, and just seaman who initiated the move to make England a great naval power and whose acts of piracy against his country’s enemies earned him a knighthood for patriotism. Kelsey paints a different and far more interesting picture of Drake as an amoral privateer at least as interested in lining his pockets with Spanish booty as in forwarding the political goals of his country, a man who became a captain general of the English navy, but never waged traditional warfare with any success.Drawing on much new evidence, Kelsey describes Drake’s early life as the son of a poor family in sixteenth-century England. He explains how Drake dabbled in piracy, gained modest success as a merchant, and then took advantage of the hostility between Spain and England to embark on a series of daring pirate raids on undefended Spanish ships and ports, preempting Spanish demands for punishment by sharing much of his booty with the Queen and her councillors. Elizabeth I liked Drake because he was a charming rogue, and she made him an integral part of her war plans against Spain and its armada, but she quickly learned not to trust him with an important command: he was unable to handle a large fleet, was suspicious almost to the point of paranoia, and had no understanding of personal loyalty. For Drake, the mark of success was to amass great wealth, preferably by taking it from someone else and the primary purpose of warfare was to afford him the opportunity to accomplish this.

This is an account of the expedition of royal and private ships which left Plymouth in 1595 under the command of Drake and Hawkins with the aim of capturing the city of Panama. The expedition ended in total failure, both leaders died and attempts to capture Grand Canary, Puerto Rico and Panama were all repulsed. For each of the main episodes, Dr Andrews presents documents chosen to illustrate a wide variety of aspects and view, points. Most of the material, whether from Spanish or English sources, casts light on the events and their background. Information on the equipment, financing and personnel of the expedition will be of particular interest to naval historians while the Spanish evidence elucidates the condition and con, duct of Spain's imperial defences. There is also a short essay by D. W. Waters on the art of navigation in the age of Drake.
From Newbery Honor author Rodman Philbrick comes a delicious, fast-paced whodunit about two socially outcast boys who set out to find jewels hidden for a century--and unwittingly flush out a murderer.In award-winner Philbrick's new page-turning mystery, Arthur "Bash Man" is the school thug, paid with candy to bully and threaten other students. When genius orphan Darius Drake employs Arthur to help him discover the origin of a suspicious threat, written in blood, they uncover a mystery that involves Darius's estranged grandfather, who was imprisoned for forging evidence in a search for a long-lost diamond necklace worth millions. The boys make the dangerous decision to search for the jewels themselves -- and in the process, they discover that the car crash that killed Darius's parents was not an accident at all. Who will be next?Where are the diamonds? And who is stalking the boys? In his first mystery for children, Philbrick delivers yet another suspenseful, unpredictable tale filled with twists and turns that will leave readers breathless.
