The Submariner's Dictionary Or Submariner's Compendium of Terms & Tar's Handbook of Naval Verbiage and Retired Guy's Re-familiarization Manual
Author: Ron Martini
Publisher: Ron Martini
ISBN: 1932606149
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 206
Book Description
Submariners are a tight knit group of men bound together by training and experience, and with a language all their own. That language is perhaps a little vulgar, but never intentionally demeaning, and a little irreverent but still worldly. This work is an attempt to preserve and explain some of these curious guys who so proudly wear a shiny metal pin that looks like a strange pair of fish on their left breast. This process of accumulating this new language begins in Boot Camp, and is added to with every change of duty station the sailor undergoes. It is heard aboard the boats and, unknowingly, by family members who can't understand terms like head, deck, and overhead, and who think SOS is a distress signal.

Young Helen Kipling's testimony sent the serial rapist/murderer Animal Sadac to prison the previous year but his conviction is reversed, and as he is being returned for re-trial he escapes and comes to Helen's ranch home to kill her, his only surviving victim. Still struggling to recover from the deep emotional scars resulting from being so brutally molested, and the impact of being seen by men as damaged goods unfit for marriage, she has just undertaken what she hopes will be the final stage of her rehabilitative efforts on the Frio River. Attempts by male officers to arrest or kill Sadac fail, convincing Helen she will die unless she devises a plan of her own to stop her psychopathic stalker. She lures Sadac out of hiding, but when the trooper friends guarding her are shot, she knows that unless she can overcome paralyzing panic long enough to complete her plan, she will be molested again and murdered.

In Deep Water
Author: Michael Brennan
Publisher: Mercier Press Ltd
ISBN: 1781176590
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 356
Book Description
Irish Water was set up in 2013 to introduce the most ambitious water metering programme in the world. The plan was to get Irish people to finally pay to upgrade a nineteenth-century water system. The water metering programme began in August 2013 and was carried out at breakneck speed. However, it did not go to plan and the issue of water charges divided Ireland. There were nationwide demonstrations, and confrontations in housing estates involving water meter contractors, gardaí and water charge protesters. The programme ended in political disaster, with a humiliated government having to send out one million refunds. With access to unpublished documents, and interviews with the key personalities on both sides, In Deep Water provides a blow-by-blow account of how it all went wrong. The rows at cabinet. The warnings that went unheeded. The water women. The smartphone-wielding protesters. And the minister who threatened to reduce people’s water to a trickle. Compulsively readable and fast paced, In Deep Water gives an inside view of the controversy that divided Ireland.
