Co. Aytch Maury Grays, First Tennessee Regiment Or, A Side Show Of The Big Show [Illustrated Edition]

By: Sam R. Watkins

Includes Civil War Map and Illustrations Pack – 224 battle plans, campaign maps and detailed analyses of actions spanning the entire period of hostilities. “A classic account of Civil War combat. This is a justifiably famous account of the Civil War told by an ordinary soldier from within the ranks of a Tennessee regiment within the Confederate Army. Often quoted, it tells in a direct way, the story of an infantry company at war. In this it has much in common with similar accounts of men living and fighting together in combat irrespective of nationality, age or conflict. This is an intimate portrait of war with all its comradeship, hardship, fear, horror and humour. We accompany Watkins and his comrades of Company ‘Aytch’ on campaign as he recollects, in his easy and personable style, encounters at Shiloh, Corinth, Murfreesboro, Chattanooga, Chickamauga, Missionary Ridge and other bloody battlefields where they fought and died for the Confederate cause until the eventual surrender of the Southern forces. Highly recommended.”-Print ed.

Sea Fever

The True Adventures that Inspired our Greatest Maritime Authors, from Conrad to Masefield, Melville and Hemingway

By: Sam Jefferson

How did a big-game fishing trip rudely interrupted by sharks inspire one of the key scenes in Hemingway's The Old Man and the Sea? How did Robert Louis Stevenson's cruise to the cannibal-infested South Sea islands prove instrumental in his writing of The Beach of Falesa and The Ebb Tide? How did Masefield survive Cape Horn and a near-nervous breakdown to write Sea Fever? The waters of this world have swirled through storytelling ever since the Celts spun the tale of Beowulf and Homer narrated The Odyssey. This enthralling book takes us on a tour of the most dangerous, exciting and often eccentric escapades of literature's sailing stars, and how these true stories inspired and informed their best-loved works. Arthur Ransome, Erskine Childers, Jack London and many others are featured as we find out how extraordinary fact fed into unforgettable fiction.

Buzz Riff

By: Sam Hill

Fast, funny and popping with surprises' Robert Crais Top Keirnan has got problems. The research firm he's been running out of his 30s-era schoolhouse in Athens, Georgia, is beginning to founder, thanks to his former office manager (and ex-lover), who has stolen half his clients and set up shop on her own. And Top is no longer banking big bucks as an operative for Shaw's Mercantile Marine since they've decided his addiction to the adrenaline buzz is more of a risk than an asset. Things are looking tough for Top, when he gets a call. American Civil War General 'Stonewall' Jackson was shot by his own men while on night patrol. His aide-de-camp reached into the General's saddlebags to find something to press against the wound and pulled out a new flag, the Stars and Bars. Stonewall died, but the Bloody Red Rag, as the flag became known, went on to become the most valuable relic of the war. Now it's been stolen and Top is asked to find it. Normally Top wouldn't touch a job like this: the money's too small, and he's not excited about his arrogant, bigoted client, Professor Jay Pope-Scott. Problem is, Top badly needs those twenty thousand dollars. So he's soon taking on fanatical collectors, ultra-right-wing religious paramilitaries, a biker gang, Fourth Federal Bank and his former lover to save the school and recover the flag. In this sequel to Sam Hill's knockout debut novel, BUZZ MONKEY, the action comes non-stop. The scrapes are daunting, the escapes hair-raising and the outcome stunningly unpredictable.

Metal—Ammonia Solutions

Proceedings of an International Conference on the Nature of Metal-Ammonia Solutions: Colloque Weyl II

By: Sam Stuart

Metal-Ammonia Solutions contains the proceedings of an International Conference on the Nature of Metal-Ammonia Solutions Colloque Weyl II held at Cornell University in Ithaca, New York, on June 15-19, 1969. The papers explore the nature of metal-ammonia solutions and cover topics ranging from the dilemma of metal-ammonia models to the magnetic properties of metal-ammonia solutions, the reactions of such solutions, and solid metal-ammonia compounds. This monograph is comprised of 39 chapters and begins with an overview of models for the concentration dependence of the properties of dilute metal-ammonia solutions. The discussion then turns to a continuous dielectric model for the solvated dielectron in dielectric media; elementary electronic excitations in insulating liquids; and magnetic properties of metal-ammonia solutions. The chapters that follow focus on the kinetics of the reaction between sodium and ethanol in liquid ammonia; electrons trapped in solids; metal-nonmetal transition and phase separation; and optical spectra of alkali metal-ammonia solutions. This text will be a valuable resource for chemists and chemistry students.

Sailing Uphill

An Unconventional Life on the Water

By: Sam McKinney

Sam McKinney has spent many of the best parts of his life on the water -- sailing a dory along Canada's west coast, crewing on the deck of a river steamer, shipping out deep-sea in freighters across the Atlantic. In the middle of his life, when he sold the hull of an ocean-going sailboat which had absorbed two years of his love and labour, he looked at his boat-building shed and thought, "Hmm. With all this lumber, I could build a boat and go across the continent, instead". So he did. In the Gander he travelled up the Columbia and Snake rivers, down the Missouri, up the Mississippi and Illinois and on, ever eastward, to New York City. It took him four summers and three Ganders, one of which had to be abandoned in the mud of the upper Missouri, but he made it. This is a lovely and evocative memoir by a perceptive and thoughtful writer.

The Evolution of the Bourbon Whiskey Industry in Kentucky

By: Sam K. Cecil

Think of Kentucky and there are several images which readily come to mind...Wildcat Basketball, blissful fields of bluegrass, crowds cheering thoroughbred horses at Churchill Downs, and yes, Bourbon. There is a sobering reality in that bourbon has made the greatest impact among those industries which best symbolize Kentucky. But why exactly is Kentucky bourbon so distinguished from the likes of Tennessee or Canadian Whiskey? Is it the limestone-filtered water or the climate in which the corn and grains are grown? Can it be attributed to some sort of secret family recipe? Essentially, it is all these things combined with a certain work ethic and pride in performance which exists within most Kentuckians. It's like something an old timer once said about people from this state...he said, "We always aim to please." This most interesting material on the makers and the methods of an international institution has something for everyone. No matter if your preferences are with Maker's Mark or Wild Turkey...Jim Beam, Evan Williams or some other of the countless varieties made for sipping, dipping, cooking or curing, this book contains the most comprehensive listing of those companies known as world leaders in the bourbon industry.

Sailing with Vancouver

A Modern Sea Dog, Antique Charts and a Voyage Through Time

By: Sam McKinney

Could I have been one of them? was what Sam McKinney wondered as he retraced, alone, from Puget Sound to Queen Charlotte Strait, the explorations of Captain George Vancouver and his men. In the 1790s, day after day, they had rowed for long hours, camping on rocky beaches in all weathers and charting the intricate coastline for the first time. Two hundred years later, McKinney followed them in his 25-foot sailboat, anchoring in the same locations as they had done, experiencing the same winds and waves, and sharing what McKinney calls the link of vulnerability that is the ever-present condition of all people who go to sea. With his boat, his pipe and the occasional glass of rum, McKinney invites readers along on a perceptive voyage through time and along the magnificent Pacific Northwest coast from Puget Sound through the Georgia and Queen Charlotte Straits. Describing both the historical and contemporary voyages around the Inland Sea, McKinney offers insightful comparisons of what sailors saw and experienced in the 18th century and what they see today.At the end of his trip McKinney, like Vancouver, claims the area he had explored, not by deed of ownership but out of love for the place, its staggering beauty...(and) the memories of the people and cultures who have found homes along its shores. Could he have, indeed, been one of Vancouver's men? He isn't sure, but he would like to have given it a try.

George Washington Carver

Inventor and Naturalist

By: Sam Wellman

George Washington Carver was sent away from home at age twelve because Negroes were not allowed to attend local schools. The color of his skin kept him from attending college until he was thirty, and yet he achieved extraordinary success. His method of crop rotation freed southern farmers from growing only cotton and tobacco, enabling the South to recover from the war years and the elimination of slave labor. He discovered or improved countless products that enhance modern life, but chose not to patent his discoveries or profit from them, donating the proceeds to research to help humankind.
