Book Description
Voyage in a Savage Sea is a brawny, salty, high seas adventure full of suspense, that reads like a thriller. When sea-hardened Nate Duggan is forced to escape the London authorities, he signs on as mate of the Brigantine Houndstooth, where he drives the ship and crew across three oceans to Australia's fledging penal colony at Sydney Cove. There 15 year old Jeremy comes aboard as a green, new hand. While trading in the Koro Sea, a violent storm and shipwreck throw Nate and the terrified young man together on a remote island in the Fijian chain. Hunted by cannibals who are led by a fierce, cunning savage-their gutsy struggle to survive is full of twists, turns and surprises. Feel the roll of the deck, the sting of the lash, and the cold fear of hunted prey as the story spreads like canvas in a gale; moving from the slums of 1806 London to England's harsh new penal colony in Australia, and on to the newly discovered, savage islands of the South Pacific. A fast paced page turner that you'll hate having to end.p>

Junk Raft
Author: Marcus Eriksen
Publisher: Beacon Press
ISBN: 0807056413
Category : Nature
Languages : en
Pages : 242
Book Description
An exciting account of a scientist’s expedition across the Pacific on a home-made “junk raft” in order to learn more about plastic marine pollution A scientist, activist, and inveterate adventurer, Eriksen and his co-navigator, Joel Paschal, construct a “junk raft” made of plastic trash and set themselves adrift from Los Angeles to Hawaii, with no motor or support vessel, confronting perilous cyclones, food shortages, and a fast decaying raft. As Eriksen recounts his struggles to keep afloat, he immerses readers in the deep history of the plastic pollution crisis and the movement that has arisen to combat it. The proliferation of cheap plastic products during the twentieth century has left the world awash in trash. Meanwhile, the plastics industry, with its lobbying muscle, fights tooth and nail against any changes that would affect its lucrative status quo, instead defending poorly designed products and deflecting responsibility for the harm they cause. But, as Eriksen shows, the tide is turning in the battle to save the world’s oceans. He recounts the successful efforts that he and many other activists are waging to fight corporate influence and demand that plastics producers be held accountable. Junk Raft provides concrete, actionable solutions and an empowering message: it’s within our power to change the throw-away culture for the sake of our planet.
