代理商:大苹果 ISLAND OF THE LOST: AN EXTRAORDINARY STORY OF SURVIVAL AT THE EDGE OF THE WORLD
by JOAN DRUETT
页数:304    定价:25.99 美元   上传日期:2024-4-25
英文概要: Auckland Island is a godforsaken place in the middle of the Southern Ocean, 285 miles south of New Zealand. With year-round freezing rain and howling winds, it is one of the most forbidding places in the world. To be shipwrecked there means almost certain death.

In 1864 Captain Thomas Musgrave and his crew of four aboard the schooner Grafton wreck on the southern end of the island. Utterly alone in a dense coastal forest, plagued by stinging blowflies and relentless rain, Captain Musgrave—rather than succumb to this dismal fate—inspires his men to take action. With barely more than their bare hands, they build a cabin and, remarkably, a forge, where they manufacture their tools. Under Musgrave’s leadership, they band together and remain civilized through even the darkest and most terrifying days.

Incredibly, at the same time on the opposite end of the island—twenty miles of impassable cliffs and chasms away—the Invercauld wrecks during a horrible storm. Nineteen men stagger ashore. Unlike Captain Musgrave, the captain of the Invercauld falls apart given the same dismal circumstances. His men fight and split up; some die of starvation, others turn to cannibalism. Only three survive. Musgrave and all of his men not only endure for nearly two years, they also plan their own astonishing escape, setting off on one of the most courageous sea voyages in history.

Using the survivors’ journals and historical records, award-winning maritime historian Joan Druett brings this extraordinary untold story to life, a story about leadership and the fine line between order and chaos.

 

 
中文概要: 奥克兰岛是位于南大洋中部和新西兰以南285英里的荒凉之地。该地常年狂风暴雨,是世界上最为可怕的地方之一。 在这里遇到海难几乎意味着必死无疑。

1864年,托马斯•马斯格雷夫船长和他的四个船员走出该岛南端的格拉夫顿帆船残骸。在一个密集的沿海森林,被刺痛的绿头苍蝇和无情的雨的困扰,马斯格雷夫船长没有屈从于这种凄凉的命运,而是激发他的船员采取行动。他们只用自己的双手建造了一间小木屋,值得注意的是他们制造了自己的工具。在马斯格雷夫的带领下,他们团结起来战胜甚至最黑暗,最恐怖的日子,通往文明。

令人难以置信的是,同一时间在岛上的另一端——距离不可逾越的悬崖和裂痕20英里远, Invercauld船只在一个可怕的风暴中失事。19个人被冲上岸。不同于托马斯•马斯格雷夫船长,Invercauld船长在同样的惨淡情况下分崩离析。他的船员战斗和分裂;一些人饿死了,其他人自相残杀,到最后只有三个人存活了。马斯格雷夫和他的所船员人不仅忍受了近两年,他们还计划了自己惊人的逃生,掀起了历史上最勇敢的海上航行。

根据幸存者的日记和史料记载,屡获殊荣的海事历史学家琼为生活的带来了这个非同寻常的不为人知的故事,一个 关于领导力,秩序和混乱之间的界线的故事。(LNL)

英文概要: Have you ever wondered why you can’t summon the energy to declutter those piles of clothes on the floor? Do you wish you knew what policies your workplace could offer so everyone can think more clearly and feel better at work? Or maybe you’ve felt confused about which ideas even deserve your attention right now? You’re not alone. And if you are ready for a change, this book is for you.

Coming from a public health expert who spent over two decades designing health initiatives around the world, Decluttered is a mindful exploration of how and why clutter manifests in our lives–and what we can do about it. Jenny Albertini invites readers to explore decluttering from personal and empathetic angles while acknowledging how clutter does not only manifest as "stuff" in our homes, but also in our relationships and in our everyday lives.

Blending stories and science with writing prompts and creativity exercises, this book will motivate readers to examine their relationship to their surroundings while reducing clutter for their health, in their homes, in their workplaces, and beyond. Jenny shares her own transformative journey of working in clinics in Africa and training under Marie Kondo, along with inspirational moments with clients from her years as professional organizer.

Decluttered will leave its readers feeling:

• Enlightened about underlying health issues related to clutter;
• Aware of what to prioritize for their decluttering journey; and
• Ready to take tangible steps that improve their work lives, home environments, and relationships.

A refreshing addition to the well-being and home genres, Decluttered helps to reduce shame and supports readers to transform their cluttered lives and spaces into foundations for healthy, balanced and intentional living.

Welcome to your world, decluttered.

代理商:大苹果 READY TO DIVE: FIVE DECADES OF ADVENTURE
by CURT NEWPORT
页数:302    定价:29.99 美元   上传日期:2024-3-28
英文概要: In Ready to Dive, Curt Newport describes his role in some of the most daring and consequential deep ocean search and recovery operations of our time. Newport was there on the front lines and in the trenches, rigging lift lines, piloting underwater vehicles, and dealing with the carnage following both military and civilian plane crashes. Starting with his life as the son of a US Army aviator during various international postings before covering his conflicts with his father during the turbulent 1960s, the book details how he got into the subsea field. In a career lasting nearly fifty years, probing waters deeper than three miles, Newport describes unwinding passenger clothing from submersible propellers during the Air India salvage, recovering tons of volatile fuel–laden solid rocket motor parts from the Space Shuttle Challenger, thumbing through the wallet of a young girl lost during the crash of TWA Flight 800, and deciphering the navigational mystery of the USS Indianapolis. Ready to Dive is a gritty, blunt, and real firsthand subsea account unlike any other. 
 
中文概要: 在《向海底进击》一书中,柯特·纽波特描述了他在我们这个时代最勇敢、最重要的深海搜索和打捞行动中的角色。纽波特亲临前线,参与了各种紧张的任务,如安装提升绳索、驾驶水下航行器,处理军用和民用飞机坠毁后的悲剧。从他作为一名美国陆军飞行员的儿子在各种国际职位上的生活开始,然后讲述了他在动荡的20世纪60年代与父亲的冲突,书中详细介绍了他是如何进入海底油田的。在长达近50年的职业生涯中,纽波特探测过深度超过3英里的水域,他描述了在印度航空公司(Air India)的打捞过程中,从潜水器螺旋桨上解开乘客的衣服,从挑战者号航天飞机上回收成吨的挥发性燃料固体火箭发动机部件,翻阅在环球航空公司(TWA)800航班坠毁中失踪的一个小女孩的钱包,以及破解“印第安纳波利斯”号航空母舰的导航之谜。《向海底进击》是一部真实、直白且生动的第一手水下记述,与其他作品截然不同。(Sandy)
作者介绍: 库特·纽波特于2022年退休,结束了他在水下领域的四十七年职业生涯。在他的工作中,他操作过加拿大、美国、英国和挪威的水下航行器,足迹遍布国际水域,从北极到“怒涛四十度:指南纬40度至50度之间的地区”,波斯湾、北海以及大西洋和太平洋赤道两侧。总体而言,他参与了超过150次水下作业,最深达5500米(超过3.4英里)。他曾支持多项海底水下任务,如打捞印度航空182航班、挑战者号航天飞机事故处理、自由钟7号回收、环球航空800航班事故处理、泰坦尼克号现场直播画面传输,以及“印第安纳波利斯”号航空母舰事故处理,还有许多涉及军事飞机失事的机密任务。

Curt Newport retired in 2022 after forty-seven years in the underwater profession. During his work with underwater vehicles, he operated Canadian, US, British, and Norwegian vehicles on an international basis, ranging from the Arctic to the “Roaring Forties,” the Persian Gulf, the North Sea, and both sides of the equator in the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. Overall, he has participated in over 150 undersea operations in water depths down to 5,500 meters (over 3.4 miles). He has supported numerous undersea operations such as the salvage of Air India Flight 182, the Space Shuttle Challenger, the recovery of Liberty Bell 7, TWA Flight 800, the broadcast of live images from the RMS Titanic, and the USS Indianapolis, as well as many classified missions involving the loss of military aircraft.

代理商:大苹果 VISITING YOU
by SHARPE SHELBERG, ILLUSTRATOR BY ANDREA EDMONDS
页数:32    定价:美元   上传日期:2019-10-11
英文概要: Setting out to visit a loved one, a child curiously asks a fellow commuter, "Who are you going to visit?" In answer to this simple question, the child learns about the love and loss in the life of a stranger: a father who lives apart from his small daughter, a husband who has lost his wife, a granddaughter who is forgotten by her grandfather, and a mother who fears for her son’s recovery. After each conversation, the child understands that the other commuters have someone in their lives that they love "as much as I love you," and it is this understanding that allows the child to explore the most universal of human experiences: the power of love in the many different forms that it can take. Visiting You also explores a sense of community. Under her mother’s supervision, a young child reaches out and connects with the people around them; they’re not scared of strangers, or people who might ‘look’ scary, or people who are different to them. Sometimes it can take conscious decision and determination to look past outward appearances. Visiting You encourages us to find the similarities between people instead of focusing on differences, to recognize some part of ourselves in the life of a stranger.

代理商:大苹果 GOOD NIGHT, WIND: A YIDDISH FOLKTALE
by LINDA MARSHALL ELOVITZ (ILLUSTRATED BY MAELLE DOLIVEUX)
页数:32    定价:美元   上传日期:2019-7-8
英文概要: When the exhausted winter wind throws a snowy tantrum, it finds comfort in the friendship of two young children in this lyrical retelling of a Yiddish folktale illustrated with stunning collage.

In this retelling of a Yiddish folktale, "Winter Wind worked hard all season long / blowing away leaves, / preparing trees for coats of snow and ice." Now, Wind is tired and needs a place to rest. But no one wants to shelter so cold and blustery a Wind--not the townspeople, not the country innkeeper, not even the gnarled tree who is worried about frozen roots. Finally, Wind does what any of us do when we are overtired: Wind has a tantrum. And it is only with the help of two small children brave enough to weather the storm that Wind finally finds the perfect place to sleep. Gentle language coupled with intricate photo-illustrations of collage dioramas tell this sweet tale about empathy and friendship. The visuals in this book are striking for their vibrancy, palette, and movement.
