In Praise of Gentle People
Two intriguing murder mysteries in one. Lawrence Treman, the son of a wealthy British barrister, is sent by his father to a ranch in Kansas to 'toughen him up'. Lawrence reluctantly obeys his father's wishes under the threat of losing his inheritance, but is aggrieved to leave behind the love of his life, Estelle Lavine. The year is 1874 and the Civil War in America has long since finished, but not the day of the gunman in the untamed West. During his stay on the ranch, a number of cowboys are butchered under mysterious circumstances. The owner calls in an agent from the Pinkerton Detective Agency to try and solve the mystery. Lawrence falls under immediate suspicion because the killings did...

Paul Whiteman
v. 1. "When Paul Whiteman, the best-known dance band leader of the flapper age, brought his entourage to town it was a big deal. Mayors met him at the train station and presented him with the key to the city, parades and throngs of cheering crowds escorted him to City Hall, and special luncheons were held in his honor. Eventually dubbed the "King of Jazz," Whiteman grew into one of the biggest promoters of players, singers, and arrangers of all times. Many well-known musicians got their first big boost in his band including Tommy and Jimmy Dorsey, Bing Crosby, Frank Trumbauer, Bix Beiderbecke, Johnny Mercer, Mildred Bailey, and Ferde Grofé. When it came to jazz, Whiteman was a trailblazer. ...

Waiting for the East Wind
This dissertation explains stick charts from the Marshall Islands and how each one is unique to the navigator who created it.

Examining these instruments may lead to an understanding of how the Marshallese people perceive maritime space.

However, as time is a large factor in sailing, I examined the varied elements of several stick charts as a matter of time rather than space. The geographic distance bet...
