Cork, the largest county in Ireland, has hundreds of miles of indented coastline, which is regarded as one of the scenic jewels of the country. John M. Feehan sailed alone in a small boat around the West Cork coast in search of true peace, his land of hearts desire, his isle of the blest. The result is a book that is not only a profound spiritual odyssey but a magnificent account of the wild rugged coastline, the peaceful coves and the unique characters he met in this beautiful, unspoiled corner of Ireland. John M. Feehan writes with great charm, skill and sympathy, and with a mischievous roguish humour, often at his own expense. His sharp eye misses nothing. He sees the mystery, beauty and wonder in ordinary things, and brings situations and people vividly to life.

Hemos complicado excesivamente el estudio del pasado dando mayor importancia a opiniones e intereses nacionalistas, religiosos y morales, relegando el hecho histórico a un segundo plano, subordinándolo a los intereses del sistema que controla nuestra educacion. No podemos aceptar esa manipulacion, es nuestro deber librarnos de las cadenas falsamente culturales por respeto hacia nuestros antepasados. Despues de muchos años estudiando Historia, he llegado a la conclusion de que la mejor manera de conocer el pasado es a traves de una cronologia imparcial y objetiva que coloque cada acontecimiento en su lugar exacto en el tiempo y revele la historia sin manipulaciones ni medias verdades. Obras cronologicas siempre fueron un complemento secundario en los libros, pero yo la he transformado en el centro de la narrativa; la mas completa cronologia historica existente es una obra de referencia completa, transcurre año tras año, en la medida de lo posible, desde la prehistoria hasta el presente. Para aquellos que prefieran un estudio mas detallado, he organizado una segunda cronologia, que abarca dia a dia desde 1789 hasta 1946.

A Reminiscence of Cricket (also known as W.G. Grace: A Memory) is Arthur Conan Doyles heartfelt tribute to the legendary Victorian cricketer Dr. W.G. Grace. In this charming essay, Doyle recalls a special cricket match in which he had the honor of playing with Grace arguably the greatest batsman of the 19th century. Doyle, an avid cricketer himself, paints the scene vividly: a sunny afternoon at Lords, the excitement in the pavilion, and the towering figure of Grace at the crease, beard flowing as he takes guard. The reminiscence is filled with Doyles awe at Graces skills his imperious batting strokes, strategic genius, and sportsmans charisma. One anecdote Doyle fondly relates is how Grace once nonchalantly hit a ball Doyle bowled for a massive six, then offered kind encouragement to the bowler (Doyle!) afterwards. The piece isnt merely a fans eulogy; it places Grace in the context of Englands golden age of amateur cricket, highlighting his role in transforming the sport and the gentlemanly conduct he exemplified. Doyles tone is nostalgic and reverent, yet warm bringing out Graces human side (his humor, competitiveness, and magnanimity in victory). For Doyle, this memory is not just about runs scored but about the spirit of the game and an era. A Reminiscence of Cricket thus serves as a valuable period piece, where one literary giant salutes a sporting giant, preserving the crack of leather on willow and the camaraderie of cricket for posterity in elegant prose.

This is a book about ocean racing a personal view of the events and an account of one of the most successful individual records ever made by a designer and skipper. In 1965 Dick Carter was a good skipper, but an unknown designer. His first design was Rabbit, which Sandy Weld helped launch, tune and race. They won the Fastnet Race in its first season and Dick Carter grew an international reputation. The Leading Edge depicts the intense competition of crews dedicated to winning and the camaraderie and enthusiasm of those who participate in this demanding sport. It is an appreciation of Dick Carters designs and his skill as a skipper. It is also the story of the extraordinary success of his first design, Rabbit, and the next three designs he skippered: Tina, Rabbit II and Red Rooster the latter which also won the Fastnet Race and the Admirals Cup. Welds racing experience provides a fascinating account that will be of considerable use to the sailor and of absorbing interest to those who follow the sport.

This bundle of two books tells of the life, designs and success of yacht designer and skipper Dick Carter from his own perspective and that of one of his crew, Sandy Weld. Not many amateur yacht designers would dare to enter the first boat they had ever designed into the epic offshore Fastnet Race, let alone with the intention of winning it. But that is what Dick Carter did in 1964, beating all 151 other yachts, some sailed by the most notable sailors of the day. He repeated the feat 4 years later with another of his own designs (which also won the Admirals Cup that year as top boat and top team), but by then he could certainly not be described as an amateur yacht designer. His radical innovations created fast and comfortable boats which were much in demand in this, the golden age of offshore racing. They were commissioned by the top sailors and succeeded in winning the Admirals Cup, Southern Cross Series, One Ton Cup, Two Ton Cup and many of the biggest races. Racing with Dick in these years was Sandy Weld who helped launch, tune and race the boats Dick skippered. Sandys account depicts the intense competition of crews dedicated to winning and the camaraderie and enthusiasm of those who participate in this demanding sport. It is an appreciation of Dick Carters designs and his skill as a skipper. But after just a decade at the top of his game, Dick Carter quit the world of sailing and moved on to other challenges. He hadnt been heard of for so long that sailors assumed he was dead. His surprise appearance at the funeral of Ted Hood gave rise to the suggestion that he wrote his autobiography. While his career as a yacht designer may have been brief, the impact of his innovations has lasted the test of time. Who today would think of an offshore yacht without internal halyards in the mast or that the rudder always had to be fixed to the keel? These concepts, and many more, were first introduced by Dick Carter.

A warm, reflective and uplifting memoir about healing wounds, reclaiming a voice and discovering freedom through the open water. The open water. To the uninitiated, it represents the unknown, an expanse of mystery and uncertainty. But to those who brave the wild waters, it is so much more. A space to heal. A place of communion. A balm to quieten the mind, soothe the soul, and allow you to reconnect with the world and yourself. Emma Simpson discovered wild swimming after a period of immense pain. Lost in grief, disillusioned with life, and feeling increasingly untethered from the world, she instinctively felt the pull of the water. There she found an unexpected source of hope and strength, a profound sense of connection, and a glorious sisterhood of women - each with their own remarkable stories to tell. Interweaving the tales of these inspirational women with reflections on her own experiences, Emma explores themes ranging from devastating loss to birth and rebirth, and from chronic illness to body confidence. Whether describing the taste of an iceberg or a kiss from a baby whale, Breaking Waves is a love letter to womanhood and the open water. Its also a celebration of community, renewal and the power of writing your own life story. Above all else, it is a joyous celebration of going with the flow.
