Book Description
"In Sailing to Paradise, Jim Bailey alters our fundamental understanding of history. Bailey draws on the labors and findings of a great variety of experts - archaeologists, language experts, anthropologists, biologists, historians, collectors of myth and oral tradition, and geographers - and sets out to show that there has really been a global village several times before." "Applying his extensive research, Bailey shows the genesis of our various religions, the spread of the matriarchal world, the worship of the Great Goddess, the early history of Africa, and the early worldwide use of mining and technology. He points out that America has been a world power at least twice before." "Sailing to Paradise is a brilliant, comprehensive recreation of history that will appeal to anyone fascinated with the possibilities of our far-distant past."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

Book Description
Aquasition is a story about fulfilling a dream. About an obsession with the sea. The feeling you get when the wind blows across your bow, the rails bury, as your vessel finds its grove and you become one with wind and sea. A silent rush of adrenaline as you glide effortlessly across the sea propelled solely by wind and will. Pure unbridled joy I tell this story as closely as possible from my ships logs and memory. If I have forgotten a few facts, or people, or a few places, I apologize in advance to those that helped and sailed with me along the way. You all have my never ending thanx and appreciation for contributing to what has become a wonderful life. Enjoy the ride!

Book Description
In May 1946 John Caldwell set out to sail from Panama to Sydney to reunite with his wife who he hadn't seen for more than a year. Eager to reach his destination and unable to secure any other form of transport, he had to resort to singlehanded seamanship. After an ignominious scene in the harbor, where a tangled anchor led him to take an early dip, he spent ten days learning the rudiments of navigation and sailing from a book, before embarking on the 9,000 mile journey aboard the 20-foot Pagan. Ahead lay a mission that was to reveal in him elements not only of astounding courage and determination, but also of incredible foolhardiness. Within 500 miles of Panama John Caldwell had already been shipwrecked once and had his boat's engine and cockpit destroyed by an angry shark. Indefatigable, he decided to press on towards his goal.He endured the terrors and discomforts of life on the high seas and enjoyed the triumphs of fighting and winning against the elements. This is more than an exciting tale of sea-adventure. It is as compelling and unpredictable as a thriller. It is the story, witty and moving, of a man, motivated initially by love, and ultimately by his own fierce determination to survive.
