This book is just what the title says. It is the distillation of what the Lin and Larry learned during more than 47 years of sailing together, years during which they covered more than 200,0000 miles on board their two cutters, Seraffyn and Taleisin, and on scores of other boats they have delivered or raced. Lin and Larry tell how they have sailed in comfort and safety without large cash outlay- on a pay-as-you-earn-as-you-go plan and by simplifying. The first two editions of this invaluable text have seen more than 60,000 copies reach people who dream of setting sail, be it for a weekend voyage across to an offshore island, or for a world circumnavigation. Lin continues voyaging now she is well into her seventh decade of life. Armed with what she is learning as she explores the islands and far corners of the Tasman Sea, she has updated and revised the information found in the original edition plus added several new chapters. Amidst the new material is an extensive look at the lessons learned as she and Larry safely negotiated the stormy waters around Cape Horn. This is the book that could help you cut the ties that bind you to shore.
Song Lin’s poems explore his sojourns in several countries, the natural world outside him, and his own inner landscape. His early imprisonment during the 1989 Tienanmen Square protests gave rise to the title poem, as well as a profound sense of yearning that pervades much of his work. He is a wanderer in the world and in the language of poetry, often finding beauty in others that are also on the move: birds, rivers, the wind. While his work is rooted in both contemporary and classical Chinese poetry, he incorporates American, French, and Latin-American literary traditions into his poems.

MALTHUS REVISITEDThe Cup of WrathA Lindsey McCall Medical MysterybyLin Wilder Eighteen-year-old Morgan Gardner did not seem like someone who could save the world--unless you took the time to notice her eyes. And most people didn't. Morgan's exceptional gifts were known only to her and to the animals she could understand better than people. For a long time, she told no one about her nightmares. Embarrassed and afraid that no one would believe her, Morgan waited until it was almost too late. Then she confided in her mom's best friend, Dr. Lindsey McCall. Lindsey and her husband Rich had worked hard to reestablish their lives and careers after their last harrowing escapade. Relocated in a beautiful California home and newly reunited with Lindsey's biological daughter LJ, all seemed to be going smoothly--until an enemy from their past returned with as deadly a plan as they could imagine. The fourth novel in Lin Wilder's popular Lindsey McCall series is her best one yet--combining the innovative medical research her readers have come to admire with a new and terrifying threat to the world's population: a biological timebomb. Vivid characters old and new rampage across the continents of Europe, Asia, and the U.S. to stop the contagion, picking up steam as they head toward a life-or-death climax in the remote Qinghai province of China.Malthus Revisited adds a dystopian element to Wilder's evolving Lindsey McCall mystery series, and is guaranteed to captivate both her loyal fans and eager newcomers, right down to its last riveting page.
Claudia Procula-wife of one of the most controversial figures in ancient history-comes alive to twenty-first-century readers. For decades, the daughter of the last Oracle at Delphi has suppressed the secrets of her life with the notorious Prelate of Judea-Pontius Pilate. Now, at age seventy-nine, she feels compelled to write the truth.
"The time I was born for is here. I will wage war against these Christians, and I will emerge victorious. My name is Saul." St. Paul the Apostle is a towering biblical figure, but almost nothing is known about his early life as Saul of Tarsus.As death loomed over him at Mamertine Prison in Rome, under the watchful eye of his jailer and final follower Aurelius, he wrote: I will die tomorrow. In the morning, around sunrise.There are two things for which I am eminently grateful: That I have been permitted to have fought the good fight and finished the race marked out for me; and that I will not have to endure another winter in this place. Starting from that pivotal moment, blending historical fact with audacious creativity, the author of the award-winning I, Claudia propels us back through the life of the man who would become St. Paul. Her vividly imagined, well-founded tale of loss, transformation, and divine intervention will captivate believers and non-believers alike who yearn for the human truth and drama behind the scriptures. "I am convinced that Saul is a man for our times," explains Wilder, "primarily because he was interested in just one thing: truth."
Lin Benedek crafts a poetic score, both grand and intimate, in her latest collection, Singing Lessons. I'm awed by her meticulous eye for detail, and what a testament to her powers of recall and observation that she's able to weave an opulent tapestry of examined gesture, dialogue, and mise en sc ne with brief philosophical turns that ground her handiwork in a richly, dark terrain. This book is sumptuous repast for ear and imagination as Benedek pulls us in close to her contemplated world of things and sings us through.Michelle Bitting, Broken KingdomLin Benedek's latest collection, Singing Lessons, has a "morning glory," "French horn," "say salvation" soundtrack playing throughout the poems, which, above all, demonstrate that "women need to take up more space." From Marvin Gaye to Papa Haydn to variations on variations, you won't be able to keep yourself from humming along.Lynne Thompson, FretworkThese poems blend all the senses, the nerves of the brain, and the blood of the heart. I admire the variety of their forms, studded with the images of Southern California, from the gritty to the gorgeous. Benedek's impulse is to tell a story, but she's never that far from a song.Joseph Millar, Kingdom
"The Uncle Tales: Wisdom Stories for Children of All Ages" is a book written and designed to help parents and children think and talk together about some of Life's more difficult questions like "What will I be when I grow up?", "When did I realize I was ME?", "What is the Soul? Do I have one? Does everyone have one?", "What do I say or do when someone hurts me? Do I have to forgive them? What is forgiveness, anyway?", "Why is math (or science or reading) so difficult?"These five very short lessons are narrated by an "Uncle" who always seems to have a story for everything. But very often his stories tend to end in a question, rather than an answer.There is an illustration in vivid color to accompany each of the five stories and engage the reader to consider the content, meaning, and significance of these lessons for him, her, or them. How does this story apply to my life?Each of the illustrations is also a mandala, intended to point to the universal truth or meaning with in each story.Additional material in the form of meditations or prayers are included for the reader to reflect on as they think about the content of these five wisdom stories.

But nothing in his past could prepare Ferris for what awaits him. High-stakes situations are common for a Guide. This time, though, things could go horribly wrong.And the price for a blunder is catastrophic when you're already halfway dead.SHADOW LIFE is set in a world where ghosts are real, Heaven and Hell may be myths, and Death is just another guy at the office.

In Aegean Fire, in 433 BC in Classical Greece, from his chained position at his oar, Arion catches a glimpse of Athens' fabled Akropolis through an oarport of the trireme commanded by his nemesis, Smerdis. Despite the fantasies of his childhood as the scion of a wealthy mercantile family on Lesbos, when he had always dreamed of coming here, he now hates Athens. After the Battle of Sybota, due to previous violent insubordination witnessed by Artontes, Arion's new master, Arion is dispatched to the dreaded mines in Laurion. In 431 BC, like all other movable property, Arion is brought back to Athens for the duration of the first Peloponnesian summer occupation of Attica. After Arion nurses Artontes' wife and child through the plague, Artontes shows his appreciation by assigning Arion to an oarbench on one of his cargo ships, but exposure to pirates might be more threatening than the plague, naval battles, or the mines.To assist potential readers in making good choices about whether or not to purchase any of the four volumes of Arion's Odyssey, I offer the following additional information about this tetralogy, which is set in Classical Greece, with the city-state (polis) of Athens as one protagonist and Arion (a human) as the other. Each volume of Arion's Odyssey is a combination of historical novel, ancient travelogue, ancient poetry, mythology, religion, and history. If you would enjoy a saga as detailed as Melville's Moby-Dick, as kaleidoscopic as Michener's Iberia, and as expansive as Hugo's Les Miserable, you might love this tetralogy.Regarding Athens and its empire, the following portion of each novel is similar to an ancient travelogue: one third of Life After Death at Ipsambul (volume 1); one fifth of Aegean Fire (volume 2); one tenth of Beyond the Battle of Naupaktos (volume 3); one tenth of Return to Lesbos (volume 4).Set in the ancient Mediterranean world, Arion's Odyssey is an adult story about Arion, a sensitive Greek (boy becoming a man) from a wealthy mercantile family on the Greek island of Lesbos. It begins fourteen years prior to the inception of the Peloponnesian War, and ends during that war: it spans the period from 445 BC to 427 BC.If you would like to experience life in the ancient Mediterranean world, then you will probably enjoy this adult story about coming-of-age there.
