Ocean

Ocean

By: Steve Mentz

Object Lessons is a series of short, beautifully designed books about the hidden lives of ordinary things. The ocean comprises the largest object on our planet. Retelling human history from an oceanic rather than terrestrial point of view unsettles our relationship with the natural environment. Our engagement with the world's oceans can be destructive, as with today's deluge of plastic trash and acidification, but the mismatch between small bodies and vast seas also emphasizes the frailty and resilience of human experience. From ancient stories of shipwrecked sailors to the containerized future of 21st-century commerce, Ocean splashes the histories we thought we knew into salty and unfamiliar places. Object Lessons is published in partnership with an essay series in The Atlantic.

Titanic or Olympic

The Truth Behind the Conspiracy

By: Steve Hall,Art Braunschweiger,Bruce Beveridge,Mark Chirnside

The Titanic is one of the most famous maritime disasters of all time, but did the Titanic really sink on the morning of 15 April 1912? Titanic's older sister, the nearly identical Olympic, was involved in a serious accident in September 1911 - an accident that may have made her a liability to her owners the White Star Line. Since 1912 rumours of a conspiracy to switch the two sisters in an elaborate insurance scam has always loomed behind the tragic story of the Titanic. Could the White Star Line have really switched the Olympic with her near identical sister in a ruse to intentionally sink their mortally damaged flagship in April 1912, in order to cash in on the insurance policy? This book addresses some of these conspiracy theories and illustrates both the questionable anomalies and hard technical facts that will prove the swtich theory to be exactly what it is - a mere legend.

From time immemorial people have been drawn to the beach to collect practical resources as well as mysterious objects that have fuelled myth and folklore – it is our inherent hunter-gatherer instinct.

Whether you are a seasoned beachcomber, a casual visitor or an enthusiastic naturalist, this book is for you. It will satisfy your curiosity about each treasure found cast up on the beach, be it a pretty seashell or an exotic ocean voyager. • Descriptions of common and rare beach finds, both natural and man-made • Clear photographs showing objects and species as found on the strandline and in their natural habitat • Suggestions for family activities related to beachcombing • A comprehensive account of the living flora and fauna of the beach strandline • Information on threats and conservation measures for the marine and coastal environment

Scharnhorst and Gneisenau

By: Steve Backer

A history of the service careers and advice on making models of “perhaps the most successful of the German battleships of the Second World War” (History of War). The ShipCraft series provides in-depth information about building and modifying model kits of famous warship types. Lavishly illustrated, each book takes the modeler through a brief history of the subject class, highlighting differences between sister-ships and changes in their appearance over their careers This includes paint schemes and camouflage, featuring color profiles and highly-detailed line drawings and scale planes. The modeling section reviews the strengths and weaknesses of available kits, lists commercial accessory sets for super-detailing of the ships, and provides hints on modifying and improving the basic kit. This is followed by an extensive photographic gallery of selected high-quality models in a variety of scales, and the book concludes with a section on research reference books, monographs, large-scale plans and relevant websites. The two German ships which form the subject of this volume were among the first products of rearmament under Hitler. For political reasons they were neither as large nor as well armed as foreign equivalents, but they were very fast, which led them to be described as battlecruisers in some quarters. They enjoyed an adventurous war, both surviving heavy damage, before Scharnhorst was sunk in an epic gun battle off the North Cape, while Gneisenau succumbed to heavy air attack. “For both vessels, the book gives details of modifications carried out, while a wealth of clear and detailed photographs and line drawings illustrate the ships themselves, as well as items of equipment.” —Ships Monthly

Picture a world intricately entwined with our own yet separate, pulsing with the raw energy and vivid color of Celtic myth come to life. Picture Albion. And enter Lewis Gillies, an Oxford student whose search for a missing friend leads him through a door to another reality -- and unimagined discoveries about life, good and evil, and his own identity and destiny. Having ascended the throne as Albion's High King, Llew takes the beautiful Goewyn for his queen. But in the midst of their joyous union, treachery is in the making -- forcing Llew to choose between the honor of his kingship and the desire of his heart. His decision drives him across the sea, far beyond Albion to the dark terrors and haunted wastes of the Foul Land. There, as the fabric of two worlds unravels, Llew hurtles headlong toward a final conflict with the Brazen Man. In the balance hangs not only the fate of Goewyn, but the very life-song of Albion, contained within the mystical Singing Stones.

Goliath

By: Steve Alten

Terrorism. Acts of Oppression. The threat of nuclear war. What if one madman aboard a vessel could end these fears forever? Commander Rochelle "Rocky" Jackson is aboard the aircraft carrier USS Ronald Reagan when the "unsinkable" naval vessel and its entire fleet are attacked from the depths and sunk. As Rocky struggles to stay alive, a monstrous mechanical steel stingray surfaces, plowing the seas it now commands. The Goliath: A nuclear submarine Rocky helped design almost a decade ago, a top secret DoD project canceled when the schematics were destroyed by her former fiancé and U.S. Army Ranger, Gunnar Wolfe. Powered by its five jet-pump propulsors and hydrodynamically shaped to be virtually undetectable under water, the sub has one more feature that separates it from all other vessels on the open seas: SORCERESS -its biochemical computer brain. Washington D.C.: Rocky learns that the Goliath's plans were not destroyed but secretly sold to the Chinese. Having constructed the $8 billion dollar warship, the Chinese become victims themselves when the sub is hijacked by the project director, Simon Bela Covah, a computer genius who once served under Rocky's command at the Navy's Undersea Warfare Center. The attack on the carrier fleet indicates that Covah is hunting down warships in an attempt to arm himself with nuclear weapons. The president appoints Rocky's father, General Michael "Bear" Jackson, to locate and destroy the Goliath. Against Rocky's wishes, Bear decides they will need Gunnar Wolfe's help. Gunnar, who has served five years in Leavenworth for espionage, is not exactly thrilled to be rejoining the people who ruined his life. Aboard the Goliath: Simon Covah and his crew share a common bond: They are all victims of violence and oppression. Covah, a Russian, witnessed his Chechan wife and daughters brutally murdered at the hands of his own people as he was tortured. Now the computer genius has one mission: to rid the world of oppressive governments while forcing humanity to disarm. To accomplish this, he plans on giving the world a real lesson in Armageddon. Armed with enough nuclear weapons to destroy North America, Covah issues his Declaration of Humanity to the world. If his demands are not met, consequences will be paid. f0 Could the threat of violence forge a lasting peace? But there is another player in this life-and-death chess match. Unbeknownst to the Goliath crew, SORCERESS has become self-aware. And the computer is developing its own agenda...

The Chariot Makers

Assembling the Perfect Formula 1 Car

By: Steve Matchett

Former F1 mechanic turned TV broadcaster Steve Matchett is trapped overnight in New York, in a fogbound JFK Airport with some fellow motor racing enthusiasts. With no sign of the fog letting up and a long twelve hours to get through, talk inevitably turns to Formula 1. During the course of the night, and fuelled by regular trips to the departure lounge bar, the three protagonists, drawing upon Matchett's encyclopaedic knowledge of life in the F1 pit lane, decide to piece together the perfect Formula 1 Grand Prix car... Starting with the monocoque (or chassis) and moving through the engine type, gearbox, exhaust, suspension and aerodynamics etc, no bolt is left unexamined in Matchett's comprehensive and detailed, technical expose of the inner workings of the fastest cars on the planet. In straightforward, clear and concise language, Matchett explains how the F1 teams have arrived at their current state-of-the-art designs; how, exactly, a Formula 1 car is put together.

Shining Mountains

By: Steve Frazee

The Civil War was over and most of the men who came to Oro City in Colorado came only for the gold. Young lay preacher Jonathan Roming and Mormon Heber Arnold came over the dangerous, icy mountains into the valley of the Blue River with thirty men -- veterans of the Northern Union Armies and the Southern Armies of the Confederacy -- two hostile camps uneasily united in the search for gold. Conflict was everywhere as men fought the elements and each other. Shining Mountains is the story of the people who came on foot, behind wagons, and over treacherous mountain passes in search of the gold that very few ever found.

Big Man's World

By: Mikey Robins,Tony Squires,Steve Abbott

BIG MAN'S WORLD OVER 30, OVERWEIGHT AND OVERDONE BIG MAN'S WORLD is the perfect book for all those who are sick of 'keeping up appearances', the ideal manual for letting down gracefully (or disgracefully). It's a book for men who want to stop pretending to like theatre and stay at home and watch the footy, to let their guts hang out the way nature intended, to shun all forms of vegetarianism and woo woo, to find and set free the caveman lurking within. BIG MAN'S WORLD takes us back to a simpler time when SNAGS were for smothering in tomato sauce and when the men's movement were a bunch of blokes in a backyard, when eating six pies was a cuase for celebration not alarm, and when quantity was vastly preferable to quality. Triple J's Mikey Robbins, co-author of the bestselling THREE BEERS AND A CHINESE MEAL, co-host of the top-rating Breakfast Show, and star of 'Good News Week' on the ABC, Steve Abbott aka The Sandman, author of the bestselling SANDMAN'S ADVICE TO THE UNPOPULAR and THIS IS MY SURFBOARD and star of radio and stage, and Tony Squires, one of the stars of Triple M's Andrew Denton Show as well as the perennially popular Saturday TV column in the Sydney Morning Herald, have been friends for over twenty years and are the perfect candidates to write such a book (despite being somewhat reluctant to commit to anything htat resembles work - but what can ou expect of the exponents of a philosophy that extolls the vitues of sloth and procrastination?) BIG MAN'S WORLD is an hilarious tribute to that last bastion of Untamed Australia: The Bloke. Lavishly illustrated with photographs, puzzles and illustrations by Michael Bell - example attached - BIG MAN'S WORLD will revolutionise the way men think about themselves and the way the world thinks about them; in this age of milennial change and shifting perceptions, it's good to know (and accept, ladies) that some things will never change. AUTHOR INFORMATION Steve, Mikey and Tony were all born in Newcastle and became friends during their no doubt troubled adolescences. They all gravitated towards the entertainment industry as the occupation least likely to demand hard work. All ended up in that strangely hip Eighties outfit, The Castanet Club before heaving themselves towards Sydney, where they are now mini-icons of the airwaves, radio being a unanimous choice for them because of the total lack of dress code involved. Mikey occasionally dons a suit for his appearances in 'McFeast' and 'Good News Week', but Steve and Tony are committed tracksuitpantsmen. SELLING POINTS *** The perfect Father's Day present for anyone with a sense of humour, particularly if they've got a bit of a gut. *** We will support the Father's Day aspect of the book by sending out BMW window display kits, including stubbie holder. thongs etc. *** All three authors have great media profiles: Mikey with Triple J and his breakfast program with Paul McDermott and Sandman (rating very well), as well as his regular spot on 'Good News Week' and co-presenter on 'McFeast'. Steve Abbott as the Sandman appears on Paul and Mikey's show three days a week, and Sandy's books and T-shirts are bestsellers. Tony Squires' television column in the Sydney Morning Herald has an enormous following, and he is currently writing for Andrew Denton and appearing on his Triple M Breakfast Show. *** We will have great fun with the media on BIG MAN'S WORLD, and the book will be alluded to on Triple J and promoted heavily on Triple M. The boys will also be appearing on eachother's shows and will get their mates in the media to give them a hand.
