Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. Trees in the Mist is a five-part novel about a family line that begins with the young man, John Dowling, coming to America in the mid-1700s bringing his father's flintlock musket. He finds himself along the northern coast of Maine where he meets up with a man, Samuel Bryant, who takes a liking to the boy and invites him to stay with his family. What ensues is a love story surrounding the revolutionary war and the fight for freedom. The town of Machias, Maine is a hotbed of the Son's of Liberty. The story follows John Dowling and Margaret Bryant, and their son's children and grandchildren for a hundred and fifty years to the early 1900s with Edwin Dowling and Lucy Cook. Both were born in Whiting, Maine, but Lucy's family moved to Lowell, Massachusetts. Edwin's neighbor encourages him to go find her sister's daughter in Lowell. This novel is about the adventures of life, love, and loss, happiness, sadness, hopes and dreams, tragedy and triumph. It makes the dash on a headstone between the dates born and died come to life. Mike Neil says. Writing a novel is like time travel and meeting your characters and coming to know them. Reading the novel should do that for the reader as well. The story is linked by the flintlock musket that is handed down through the generations. Edwin convinces Lucy that he needs to come west to Oregon to find a better life. Lucy has to travel across the country on the transcontinental railroad with her four children including a six-month-old baby. Edwin's brother had sent a letter that his salary of one dollar a day working in the woods would be doubled. Edwin had left six months earlier and taken his four-year-old daughter, Louisa, with him. This is an American story that could belong to anyone. Just maybe it will inspire you to clear the mist in your own story. It is hard to know where you are going unless you know where you have been, and where you came from. …

Paperback. Condizione: Good. On its 10th anniversary, a gift edition of this classic book, with a forward by one of history's greatest explorers, and eight pages of color illustrations.Anyone alive in the eighteeth century would have known that the logitude problem was the thorniest scientific dilemma of the day--and had been for centuries. Lacking the ability to measure their longitude, sailors throughout the great ages of exploration had been literally lost at sea as soon as they lost sight of land. Thousands of lives, and the increasing fortunes of nations, hung on a resolution.The scientific establishment of Europe--from Galileo to Sir Issac Newton--had mapped the heavens in both hemispheres in its certain pursuit of a celestial answer. In stark contrast, one man, John Harrison, dared to imagine a mechanical solution--a clock that would keep percise time at sea, something no clock had ever been able to do on land. Longitude is a dramatic human story of an epic scientific quest and Harrison's forty-year obsession with building his perfect timekeeper, known today as the chronometer. Full of heroism and chicanery, it is also a fascinating brief history of astronomy, navigation, and clockmaking, and opens a new window on our world.…

Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. The New York Times bestselling author of Bringing Down the House and The Accidental Billionaires tells his most incredible story yet: A true drama of obscene wealth, crime, rivalry, and betrayal from deep inside the world of billionaire Russian oligarchs that Booklist called "one more example of just how talented a storyteller [Mezrich] is." Meet two larger-than-life Russians: former mathematician Boris Berezovsky, who moved into more lucrative ventures as well as politics, becoming known as the Godfather of the Kremlin; and Roman Abramovich, a dashing young entrepreneur who built one of Russia's largest oil companies from the ground up. After a chance meeting on a yacht in the Caribbean, the men became locked in a complex partnership, surfing the waves of privatization after the fall of the Soviet regime and amassing mega fortunes while also taking the reins of power in Russia. With Berezovsky serving as the younger entrepreneur's krysha--literally, his roof, his protector--they battled their way through the "Wild East" of Russia until their relationship soured when Berezovsky attacked President Vladimir Putin in the media. Dead bodies trailed Berezovsky as he escaped to London, where an associate died painfully of Polonium poisoning, creating an international furor. As Abramovich prospered, Berezovsky was found dead in a luxurious London townhouse, declared a suicide. With unprecedented, exclusive first-person sourcing, Mezrich takes us inside a world of unimaginable wealth, power, and corruption to uncover this exciting story, a true-life thriller epic for our time--"Wolf Hall on the Moskva" (BookPage).…

Paperback. Condizione: Good. From one of the world's leading natural scientists and the acclaimed author of Trilobite!, Life: A Natural History of Four Billion Years of Life on Earth and Dry Storeroom No. 1 comes a fascinating chronicle of life's history told not through the fossil record but through the stories of organisms that have survived, almost unchanged, throughout time. Evolution, it seems, has not completely obliterated its tracks as more advanced organisms have evolved; the history of life on earth is far older--and odder--than many of us realize.   Scattered across the globe, these remarkable plants and animals continue to mark seminal events in geological time. From a moonlit beach in Delaware, where the hardy horseshoe crab shuffles its way to a frenzy of mass mating just as it did 450 million years ago, to the dense rainforests of New Zealand, where the elusive, unprepossessing velvet worm has burrowed deep into rotting timber since before the breakup of the ancient supercontinent, to a stretch of Australian coastline with stromatolite formations that bear witness to the Precambrian dawn, the existence of these survivors offers us a tantalizing glimpse of pivotal points in evolutionary history. These are not "living fossils" but rather a handful of tenacious creatures of days long gone.   Written in buoyant, sparkling prose, Horseshoe Crabs and Velvet Worms is a marvelously captivating exploration of the world's old-timers combining the very best of science writing with an explorer's sense of adventure and wonder.…
