The Two Barques is a short story by Arthur Conan Doyle first published in the Pearson's Magazine in march 1897. 2nd story of the Captain Sharkey saga.In Kingston, an elderly logwood-cutter saw Captain Sharkey's pirate barque, the Happy Delivery, careening at Torbec on the south-west of Hispaniola, as well as Sharkey himself, with four men, buccaneering on the outlying island of La Vache. Stephen Craddock, an adventurer comes to the Governor Sir Edward Compton with a plan for the extirpation of Sharkey. He want to use the sister ship of the Happy Delivery, the White Rose, and set sail for the Island of La Vache, where Sharkey is slaying the wild oxen. When Sharkey will see the White Rose he will surely mistake it for his own vessel which he is awaiting, and he will come on board to his own undoing. The plan is accepted by the Governor and Craddock set sail to La Vache with a crew of volunteers. When they arrive to La Vache, no sign of Sharkey. They search him in the forest for a few days but finally they decide to return to their boat. When they arrive on board something is strange, as if it was not the same ship, and suddenly they are captured by Sharkey on the deck. They are on the pirate ship the Happy Delivery which came back from its careening upon the very day that they left in the forest. Then the White Rose is scuttled in the bay. Craddock, bruised and wounded in soul and body, is thrown into a dark sail-room. For two days, the Happy Delivery set sail to Jamaica. When he arrives to Port-Royal, Sharkey, with that diabolical cunning and audacity which were among his main characteristics, is simulating the part which Craddock would himself have played had he come back victorious. Sharkey exhibits Craddock on the deck so that the other side could fall into the trap but the later has sprung the bulwarks and is swimming for his life. He is hit and hit again by pistol shots but is still swimming. Irritated, Sharkey takes his musket and fired a fatal blow on Craddock.

This book is not an ordinary reading book. It is not meant to be devoured like a novel, not to be understood like a scientific treatise, not to be read like a report. It is a work of art, a space for meditation, for silence, for inner reflection. At first glance it appears empty, almost mute. Yet this emptiness is not a lack, but an invitation. It is the open space in which one´s own thoughts may grow. Whoever takes the book into their hands continues it inwardly, not with ink, but with awareness, with memory, with prayer. In this way, every reader becomes a co creator. A single word stands at the center, stronger than many others. It is the shortest and at the same time the most sincere prayer that can be spoken. A word that needs no further explanation and yet carries within it countless meanings. The seemingly empty pages are therefore not empty, but a vessel that becomes filled only through the thoughts and feelings of those who read. Numbers and symbols lend this work additional depth. The number five stands for the hand, the senses, the human. The number seven has always been regarded as the number of perfection and divine rhythm. The number eight, when laid on its side, becomes the symbol of infinity. Nature, too, knows such mysterious signs: the rare green flash on the horizon, a moment between day and night, beginning and end. A symbol of transition, just as this book itself is a transition, between the visible and the invisible, between word and silence, between knowledge and mystery. This work is independent of religion. It binds itself to no denomination but opens itself to all people, believers and atheists, seekers and doubters alike. It does not provide ready made answers, but opens up spaces. It does not lecture, but accompanies. It does not demand, but invites. Perhaps the greatest secret lies in the fact that it is not so much about the book itself, but about the dialogue it awakens within us. Every person brings their own story into it, every reader rewrites it invisibly anew. Thus there is not one single book, but as many as there are readers. A quiet riddle, a meditative space, a work of art that transcends the boundaries of language and religion. A book about gratitude, silence, and symbols. About the experience that the essence does not lie in the abundance of words, but in the depth of emptiness, and in the power of a single word.

By the late eighteenth century, the ever-increasing British need for local labour in West Africa based on malarial, climatic, and manpower concerns led to a willingness of the British and Kru (West African labourers from Liberia) to experiment with free wage labour contracts. The Kru’s familiarity with European trade on the Kru Coast (modern Liberia) from at least the sixteenth century played a fundamental role in their decision to expand their wage earning opportunities under contract with the British. The establishment of Freetown in 1792 enabled the Kru to engage in systematized work for British merchants, ship captains, and naval officers. Kru workers increased their migration to Freetown establishing what appears to be their first permanent labouring community beyond their homeland on the Kru Coast. Their community in Freetown known as Krutown provided a readily available labour pool and ensured their regular employment on board British commercial ships and Royal Navy vessels circumnavigating the Atlantic and beyond. In the process, the Kru established a network of Krutowns and community settlements in many Atlantic ports including Cape Coast, Fernando Po, Ascension Island, Cape of Good Hope, and in the British Caribbean in Demerara and Port of Spain. Outsourcing African Labour in the Nineteenth Century: Kru Migratory Workers in Global Ports, Estates and Battlefields structures the fragmented history of Kru workers into a coherent global framework. The migration of Kru workers in the Atlantic, Indian and Pacific Oceans, in commercial and military contexts represents a movement of free wage labour that transformed the Kru Coast into a homeland that nurtured diasporas and staffed a vast network of workplaces. As the Kru formed permanent and transient working communities around the Atlantic and in the British Caribbean, they underwent several phases of social, political, and economic innovation, which ultimately overcame a decline in employment in their homeland on the Kru Coast by the end of the nineteenth century by increasing employment in their diaspora. There were unique features of the Kru migrant labour force that characterized all phases of its expansion. The migration was virtually entirely male, and at a time when slavery was widespread and the slave trade was subjected to the abolition campaign of the British Navy, Kru workers were free with an expertise in manning seaborne craft and porterage. Kru carried letters from previous captains as testimonies of their reliability and work ethic or they worked under the supervision of experienced workers who effectively served as references for employment. They worked for contractual periods of between six months and five years for which they were paid wages. The Kru thereby stand out as an anomaly in the history of Atlantic trade when compared with the much larger diasporas of enslaved Africans.

The gorgeous and evocative illustrations bring to life an unforgettably lush and hypnotically romantic story." -Ava Reid, #1 New York Times bestselling author of A Study in Drowning Step into the dark coming-of-age fantasy debut from The Legend of Korra illustrator Michelle Wong, where a young woman bound to a mysterious god seeks revenge on her aristocratic family in a story of divine rituals, brutal magic, and twisted love-featuring illustrations throughout by the author. Born out of wedlock and shunned by society, Alma found solace in solitude-so long as her mother was by her side. But when illness strikes, Alma reaches out to the father she's never known and uncovers a dark truth: she's a bastard of House Avera, one of the four noble families that serve the gods, and her father is a vessel of the Dread Beast, a harbinger of death. To save her mother, Alma agrees to sacrifice her arm in a blood-soaked ceremony that binds her to the Beast. But the cure never comes, leaving her trapped in a hostile, gothic estate-despised by her relatives and used as a pawn in her father's schemes. Now vengeance drives her, guided by the god who shadows her every step. He appears only to her-a beautiful, monstrous prince-whispering that she's destined to reshape the world. With his dark magic fueling her, Alma sets out to destroy the House that took everything from her. But as their bond deepens and their plans grow more perilous, she must decide if her god's honeyed words-and her forbidden feelings for him-are leading her to victory, or dragging the mortal world to ruin.

This ebundle includes: All Systems Red, Artificial Condition, Rogue Protocol, Exit Strategy, Network Effect, and Fugitive Telemetry. Now an original series on Apple TV+, starring Alexander Skarsgård as Murderbot! The Murderbot Diaries, by bestselling author Martha Wells, is an action-packed, cerebral science fiction series about a self-hacking robot searching for the meaning of life. All Systems Red : In a corporate-dominated spacefaring future, planetary missions must be approved and supplied by the Company. On a distant planet, a team of scientists are conducting surface tests, shadowed by their Company-supplied 'droid - a self-aware SecUnit that has hacked its own governor module, and refers to itself as "Murderbot." Scornful of humans, all it really wants is to be left alone long enough to figure out who it is. But when a neighboring mission goes dark, it's up to the scientists and their Murderbot to get to the truth. Artificial Condition : It has a dark past-one in which a number of humans were killed. But it has only vague memories of the massacre that spawned the title "Murderbot", and it wants to know more. Teaming up with a Research Transport vessel named ART, Murderbot heads to the mining facility where it went rogue. What it discovers will forever change the way it thinks... Rogue Protocol : The case against the too-big-to-fail GrayCris Corporation is floundering, and more importantly, authorities are beginning to ask more questions about where Dr. Mensah's SecUnit is. And Murderbot would rather those questions went away. For good. Exit Strategy : Having traveled the width of the galaxy to unearth details of its own murderous transgressions, as well as those of the GrayCris Corporation, Murderbot is heading home to help submit evidence that could prevent GrayCris from destroying more colonists in its never-ending quest for profit. But who's going to believe a SecUnit gone rogue? And what will become of it when it's caught? Network Effect : When Murderbot's human associates (not friends, never friends) are captured and another not-friend from its past requires urgent assistance, Murderbot must choose between inertia and drastic action. Drastic action it is, then. Fugitive Telemetry : When Murderbot discovers a dead body on Preservation Station, it knows it is going to have to assist station security to determine who the body is (was), how they were killed (that should be relatively straightforward, at least), and why (because apparently that matters to a lot of people-who knew?) Yes, the unthinkable is about to happen: Murderbot must voluntarily speak to humans! Again! At the Publisher's request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management Software (DRM) applied.

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER A “thrilling and superbly crafted” (The Wall Street Journal) account of the most momentous voyage of the Age of Exploration, which culminated in Captain James Cook’s death in Hawaii, and left a complex and controversial legacy still debated to this day. One of The New York Times Book Review’s 10 Best Books of the Year A BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR: THE NEW YORK TIMES, TIME, THE ECONOMIST, NPR, THE NEW YORKER, THE SMITHSONIAN, AND KIRKUS REVIEWS “In this masterly history, Sides tracks the 18th-century English naval officer James Cook’s third and final voyage across the globe, painting a vivid and propulsive portrait."—The New York Times Book Review On July 12th, 1776, Captain James Cook, already lionized as the greatest explorer in British history, set off on his third voyage in his ship the HMS Resolution. Two-and-a-half years later, on a beach on the island of Hawaii, Cook was killed in a conflict with native Hawaiians. How did Cook, who was unique among captains for his respect for Indigenous peoples and cultures, come to that fatal moment? Hampton Sides’ bravura account of Cook’s last journey both wrestles with Cook’s legacy and provides a thrilling narrative of the titanic efforts and continual danger that characterized exploration in the 1700s. Cook was renowned for his peerless seamanship, his humane leadership, and his dedication to science. On previous expeditions, Cook mapped huge swaths of the Pacific, including the east coast of Australia, and initiated first European contact with numerous peoples. He treated his crew well and endeavored to learn about the societies he encountered with curiosity and without judgment. Yet something was different on this last voyage. Cook became mercurial, resorting to the lash to enforce discipline, and led his two vessels into danger time and again. Uncharacteristically, he ordered violent retaliation for perceived theft on the part of native peoples. This may have had something to do with his secret orders, which were to chart and claim lands before Britain’s imperial rivals could, and to discover the fabled Northwest Passage. Whatever Cook’s intentions, his scientific efforts were the sharp edge of the colonial sword, and the ultimate effects of first contact were catastrophic for Indigenous people around the world. The tensions between Cook’s overt and covert missions came to a head on the shores of Hawaii. His first landing there was harmonious, but when Cook returned after mapping the coast of the Pacific Northwest and Alaska, his exploitative treatment of the Hawaiians led to the fatal encounter. At once a ferociously-paced story of adventure on the high seas and a searching examination of the complexities and consequences of the Age of Exploration, THE WIDE WIDE SEA is a major work from one of our finest narrative nonfiction writers.

In this groundbreaking new book, Rana Florida shares their formula, giving you the tools to achieve unimaginable success in work and life.

Upgrade includes interviews with Sir Ken Robinson, Dan Pink, Mark Cuban, Andre Agassi, Kenny Scharf, Zaha Hadid, Governor Martin O'Malley, Tory Burch, Tim Brown, and many other leading figures. Despite this cast's vastly different backgrounds and skills, Florida's research concludes that there are seven key principles to achieving your business and life goals: Envision the future Find your passion Get creative Design your time Collaborate Take risks Embrace failure Unfortunately, this is exactly what the majority of us don't do.

In a world obsessed with strength, success, and self-promotion, Dr. Emmanuel Mitchell presents a revolutionary paradigm that challenges everything we think we know about true leadership and lasting influence. "Thrones of Clay" unveils the profound biblical truth that authentic authority emerges not from human strength, but from embracing our fundamental weakness and dependence on God. Drawing from decades of pastoral ministry, theological scholarship, and real-world leadership experience, Dr. Mitchell masterfully weaves together scriptural insights with compelling contemporary examples to demonstrate how God consistently chooses the foolish things of the world to shame the wise, and the weak things to shame the strong. This isn't merely theological theory-it's a practical blueprint for transformational leadership that transcends earthly kingdoms and builds eternal legacies. The book's central metaphor of "thrones of clay" captures the beautiful paradox at the heart of Christian leadership: we are earthen vessels, fragile and flawed, yet chosen by the Almighty to carry His glory and exercise His authority in the world. Mitchell argues that our greatest weakness becomes our greatest strength when we stop trying to hide our humanity and instead allow God's power to be perfected in our frailty. Through engaging narratives and biblical case studies, readers will discover how figures like Moses, David, Paul, and ultimately Jesus himself demonstrated this counterintuitive principle. The stuttering shepherd became the voice of God to Pharaoh. The shepherd boy conquered giants not through military prowess but through unwavering faith. The persecutor of Christians became the greatest missionary through acknowledging his complete dependence on grace. Dr. Mitchell doesn't shy away from the practical implications of this theology. He addresses the modern leadership crisis plaguing churches, businesses, and institutions, showing how pride, self-reliance, and the pursuit of human acclaim have led to spectacular moral failures and organizational collapses. Instead, he presents a sustainable model of leadership rooted in humility, transparency, and recognition of our need for divine strength. The book is structured around seven key principles that form the foundation of clay-throne leadership: acknowledging weakness, embracing vulnerability, cultivating dependence on God, leading through service, building others up rather than self-promotion, maintaining accountability, and focusing on eternal rather than temporal rewards. Each principle is explored through biblical exposition, historical examples, and practical application guidelines. "Thrones of Clay" is particularly relevant for pastors, ministry leaders, business executives, and anyone in positions of influence who have grown weary of trying to maintain facades of perfection. Mitchell's approach offers liberation from the exhausting burden of pretending to have all the answers while providing a sustainable framework for wielding genuine, God- honoring authority. This book serves as both a theological treatise and a practical handbook, combining deep spiritual insights with actionable leadership principles. Dr. Mitchell's accessible writing style makes complex theological concepts understandable to readers at any level of spiritual maturity, while his extensive research and pastoral wisdom provide depth that will challenge even seasoned leaders. For anyone seeking to understand what it truly means to lead with divine authority in an age of human ambition, "Thrones of Clay" offers a transformative vision of leadership that honors God, serves others, and builds lasting kingdom impact.

Transurfing is a powerful tool for managing reality. Apply it and life will begin to change according to YOUR order. When you use Transurfing goals are not reached, so much as realised for the most part of themselves. It seems impossible to believe but only at first. The ideas presented in the book have already received practical confirmation. Those who have tried Transurfing, experience surprise bordering on delight as the world of the Transurfer inexplicably changes before their very eyes.What is the book about?Transurfing is the art of controlling reality using our freedom of choice. The world always reflects our perception of it. People can choose any variant of the development of current reality and thereby find themselves in circumstances they find desirable . To learn how to do this, you have to learn how to establish mutual understanding between the soul and mind, formulate intention and avoid the influence of destructive pendulums.Why should you read this book?Most people who have read "Transurfing", note that from the very e first pages, the book completely reverses their view of the world and the role of the individual in their own life. A fresh look at reality encourages the reader to consciously relate to the choices they make in any moment, and this really changes their life in the direction they would like. "It works!" is the phrase found in almost all reviews of Vadim Zeland's book.Who is this book for?The book has aroused great interest among the young and middle-aged, those who are interested equally in philosophy, psychology and physics and the mysteries of human consciousness.Why we decided to publish itThe idea of " Transurfing Reality" quickly gained popularity when the author posted the text on the Internet. Numerous readers' reviews, saying that it really works, and the author's original take on the structure of reality prompted the publishers decide to publish Vadim Zeland's manuscript. We had no doubt that "Transurfing" would be popular among a huge audienceAbout the authorVadim Zeland: "I'm over forty. Before the collapse of the Soviet Union I was engaged in research in the field of quantum physics, then computer technology, and now books. I live in Russia. My nationality is Russian, or more precisely, a quarter Estonian. The rest is irrelevant, as is all the above. Regarding my own success, all I can say is that Transurfing works perfectly. I don't however want to advertise my personal life, as then it would cease to be personal. Fame turns against you, if you give in to temptation and climb up on a pedestal for all to see. Among some people, the American Indians, for example ,there is a belief that if someone copies your portrait (photographs you), they steal part of your soul. Of course, this is just superstition, but tthere is no smoke without fire. You can distribute a product of personal creativity ; but release your personality for mass circulation – never.To the question of intrigued readers: "Who are you, Vadim Zeland?", I usually just say: "Nobody". My biography can not and should not be a matter of interest, since I am not thecreator of Transurfing, only a "retranslator". It is essential that we be nothing - an empty vessel, so that we do not impose our personal distortions onto this ancient Knowledge, that opens the door to a world, where the impossible becomes possible. Reality ceases to exist as something external and independent. and becomes manageable if you follow certain rules. The secret itself that is hidden only in as much as it lies on the surface, is so great that the personality of its bearer ceases to be relevant. Perhaps the guardians who passed on this knowledge to me are of genuine interest but they too prefer to remain in the wings."
