Emergency Deep
Conveys in dramatic detail the high-risk, covert operations of a nuclear attack submarine during the zenith of the Cold War Captain Alfred Scott McLaren served as commander of the USS Queenfish (SSN 651) from September 1969 to May 1973, the very height of the Cold War. As commander, McLaren led at least six major clandestine operations, including the first-ever exploration of the entire Siberian Continental Shelf: a perilous voyage detailed in his previous book Unknown Waters. Emergency Deep: Cold War Missions of a Submarine Commander conveys the entire spectrum of Captain McLaren’s experiences commanding the USS Queenfish, mainly in the waters of the Russian Far East and also off Vietnam....
Silent and Unseen
Silent and Unseen is a memoir of a submariner’s life on a U.S. attack submarine during the Cold War by Capt. Alfred S. McLaren, an experienced submarine officer and nuclear attack submarine commander. He describes in riveting detail the significant events that occurred early in the Cold War during his seven years, 1958–65, on board three attack submarines: the USS Greenfish (SS 351), USS Seadragon (SSN 584), and USS Skipjack (SSN 585). He took part in the first submerged transit of the Northwest Passage, a Baffin Bay expedition, and, as commander of USS Queenfish (SSN 651), a North Pole expedition that completed the first survey of the entire Siberian Continental Shelf. McLaren’s stori...
Pulpit, Press, and Politics
When American Methodist preachers first arrived to Upper Canada they brought more than a contagious religious faith. They also brought saddlebags stuffed with books published by the New York Methodist Book Concern - North America's first denominational publisher - to sell along their preaching circuits. Pulpit, Press, and Politics traces the expansion of this remarkable transnational market from its earliest days to the mid-nineteenth century during a period of intense religious struggle in Upper Canada marked by fiery revivals, political betrayals, and bitter church schisms. The Methodist Book Concern occupied a central place in all this conflict as it powerfully shaped and subverted the re...
The Bible in the Age of Empire: a Cultural History
The Bible in the Age of Empire examines the bible during a period of history when European countries were expanding their reach, and during a period of huge industrial and political change. The contributors examine how the bible developed as a cultural text during this time, facing new challenges to its authority from the work of Charles Darwin, as well as having its authority used to justify the colonial project and the suppression of indigenous peoples.The volume takes several key areas of focus to examine how the bible impacted and was impacted upon by the culture of the period, using lenses such as art, literature and politics. Each contributor examines the bible's interaction with their given topic, providing an overview of the cultural history of the bible and the topic in the age of empire.
Behind the Pit Wall
Bob McMurray has seen just about everything in motorsport - from the years working behind the pit wall with the McLaren team and the high-octane adventure that was A1GP to Scott Dixon winning the Indianapolis 500. If you want facts and figures, go to the Internet - you won't find them here. Instead, the book is more like a bar-room conversation about Bob's 30-odd years in Formula One. All the interesting stuff. Witness to cataclysmic battles, both on and off the track, when political and personal egos clashed, he saw the bloody birth of modern Formula One. He was there, on the inside, as the world of motorsport morphed into a financial behemoth, leaving the racetracks of the world littered w...
I'm Not Sharing Dr. McLaren
After one night together, Scott McLaren is ghosting me. He pops up again and I don’t hide my annoyance with him. When I run into him a third time, I have no choice but to let him hang out with me for the night after giving myself a concussion. Then I see a whole different side of him. He might just be the type of man I'm looking for. She’s crazy. Absolutely crazy. So why am I so drawn to her? I could easily drop her off at her house after she gets hurt, but I find myself sleeping on her couch and trying to figure out how to make myself a permanent fixture in her life. It would be easy if she and her son weren’t hurting after her ex destroyed them. Tropes: Mistaken identity, meet cute, strong willed FMC, romcom, swoony MMC, small town romance, medical romance, opposites attract, reverse grumpy sunshine, enemies to lovers
Rethinking Ducted Turbines
Ducted turbines are designed to augment the flow through a rotor and consequently increase power extraction, with the aim of reducing the cost of wind energy. Despite many years of research, however, much uncertainty remains on a fundamental level: uncertainty that is not conducive to maximising performance or to commercial success. This work reduces the problem's complexity and improves understanding of the fundamentals by examining the underlying inviscid behaviour of ducted turbines, which are also known as diffuser augmented turbines. Numerical results show that the Betz limit does not apply, even using duct exit area, confirm the applicability of inviscid simulations to attached viscous...
Unknown Waters
This book tells the story of the brave officers and men of the nuclear attack submarine USS Queenfish (SSN-651), who made the first survey of an extremely important and remote region of the Artic Ocean. The unpredictability of deep-draft sea ice, shallow water, and possible Soviet discovery, all played a dramatic part in this fascinating 1970 voyage.
