NATIONAL BESTSELLER • A riveting, adrenaline-fueled tour of a vast, lawless, and rampantly criminal world that few have ever seen: the high seas. There are few remaining frontiers on our planet. But perhaps the wildest, and least understood, are the world's oceans: too big to police, and under no clear international authority, these immense regions of treacherous water play host to rampant criminality and exploitation. Traffickers and smugglers, pirates and mercenaries, wreck thieves and repo men, vigilante conservationists and elusive poachers, seabound abortion providers, clandestine oil-dumpers, shackled slaves and cast-adrift stowaways—drawing on five years of perilous and intrepid r...
Charlie O'Shields is the creator of Doodlewash®, founder of World Watercolor Month in July, and host of the Sketching Stuff podcast. Every single day, for over three years, he created a watercolor illustration and wrote a short essay about whatever came to mind that day and posted it on his blog. These are some of the collected favorites along with some brand new musings. With over 180 illustrations, this book is part personal memoir and sometimes just a randomly fun romp through the sillier bits of this crazy world we all inhabit. Written to take on the impossible task of inspiring creativity, unleashing your inner child, and instilling hope, it will, at the very least, make you smile and touch your heart.
Many people have heard of the Camino de Santiago, the network of pilgrim trails in Spain that leads to the Cathedral of Santiago de Compostela in Galicia, northwest Spain. Just about ninety kilometers west is a point on the Iberian Peninsula, the furthest western point on the European continent, or the end of the earth. The famous pilgrim trails that crisscross Europe leading to these points are called Caminos. Some people have walked them. Even more have considered walking one or more. Still others, fascinated by the adventure, cannot walk a Camino but enjoy hearing stories of others who have done so. If you find yourself in any of these three categories, you will enjoy this book. Book five in this "The End of the Earth" series continues the stories. There is much more to walking a Camino than just walking. It is the beginning of the journey of a lifetime. There is so much to learn about yourself, your relations, your life, and your world. It all begins with that first step. But be aware, there is no end. Once you begin your Camino, you are a pilgrim for life, a Perpetual Pilgrim.
