Scottish Sea Kayak Trail
Scotland's west coast is an undisputed world-class sea kayaking destination. This book challenges the reader to kayak a 500km route, from the Isle of Gigha off the Kintyre peninsula, to the Summer Isles near Ullapool. It can be undertaken in four holiday-sized sections or as one long, glorious journey. The emphasis is on practical advice; how to tackle tricky tidal passages; places to visit; where to source essential information; food re- supply; where to safely leave kayaks overnight; how and when to shuttle vehicles; and the accessibility of public transport. Although camping is an essential element of this journey the book does not identify wild camp sites or even picnic places. It gives ...
Lifeboatmen
'A boat goes forward only when the crew row together' - Proverb The worst hurricane for over a century devastated the south coast of England in 1866, during a period when emergency services were in their infancy. In the town of Poole, Dorset, the newly-appointed lifeboat is launched twice to aid the numerous stricken ships in the vicinity but unaccountably fails to save many lives.

The Phoenix Paradox
THE PHOENIX PARADOX Having narrowly missed getting a Democrat into the White House in 2004, the mainstream media continue their attacks against the Republicans. To insure that the next president is a Democrat, a diverse group of media owners form a secret organization through which they plan to place their own candidate in the Oval Office. The Phoenix Group's agenda is jeopardized when The New York Bugle's owner, a Democratic supporter, dies suddenly. His son, Parker H. Rolle, inherits the Bugle and discovers what it has been, a stooge of the Democrats. Parker Rolle balks at the paper's stance and sets out to change it, resulting in violent repercussions and serious problems for the Phoenix Group and its plan to rule the United States through a puppet president.
The Tyranny of E-mail
The award-winning president of the National Book Critics Circle examines the astonishing growth of email—and how it is changing our lives, not always for the better. John Freeman is one of America’s pre-eminent literary critics; now in this, his first book, he presents an elegant and erudite investigation into a technology that has revolutionized the way we work, communicate, and even think. There’s no question that email is an explosive phenomenon. The first email, developed for military use, was sent less than forty years ago; by 2011, there will be 3.2 billion users. The average corporate employee now receives upwards of 130 emails per day; by 2009 that number is expected to reach n...
