Paperback. Condición: Good. Born at sea aboard his father's hand-built sailboat and raised barefoot on her wood decks, Thomas Thor Tangvald's oceanic childhood was full of beauty and wonder-but was also scarred by horrific tragedies that left him an orphan. Cast ashore into regular contact with human society for the first time at age 15, this intellectually gifted and uniquely educated young man at first reveled in his new environment but ultimately was led by his trauma into spirals of addiction and broken relationships. Thomas hasn't been seen since he sailed away from French Guyana in 2014, and some believe he must still be alive. ?THE BOY WHO FELL TO SHORE is an insider's account of the Tangvald legend. Charles J. Doane-an accomplished bluewater sailor and longtime sailing journalist-tracks Thomas and his father Peter (a renowned but controversial sailor and author) across thousands of ocean miles through intimate interviews, personal correspondence, documentary research, and first-hand experience of the tropical anchorages and passage routes they frequented. This biography is by turns inspiring, terrifying, beautiful, and infuriating as Doane deftly explores the great cost of living freely at the whim of wind and water.…

Paperback. Condición: Very Good. James Patrick Thomas's path toward nuclear disarmament began on Good Friday, 1982, when he and his fellow peace pilgrims started walking away from the Trident Nuclear Submarine Base near Seattle. Their Bethlehem Peace Pilgrimage would span 6,700 miles across the United States and nine other countries, each step aimed at ending the nuclear arms race. After two years on the road, Jim continued his pursuit of peace and disarmament. Back in Spokane, Washington, Jim turned his attention toward the Hanford plutonium factory-one of the original Manhattan Project sites just 110 miles from his home. Over the next two decades, Jim helped uncover stunning revelations about Hanford's toxic regional impact and its role in our nation's nuclear weapons complex. Atomic Pilgrim is the story of how one person's faith, actions, and persistence can impact seemingly immovable systems and hold even the most powerful bureaucracies to account.…

Paperback. Condición: Fair. Kacy Tellessen is a grunt. After completing high school in rural Washington, he enlisted in the Marine Corps and began the hero's journey he imagined might parallel those epic tales he'd consumed throughout adolescence. But what Tellessen lived through--from boot camp to the battlefield and home again--had little in common with Homer's tales or Hollywood's depictions. In his memoir, Tellessen offers a truer account of life as an infantryman: the complicated, conflicting, adrenaline-pumping, and traumatic experience of war. Though much of our country's fighting and dying is done by infantry members, few accounts detail the grunt experience with as much clarity and vulnerability as Freaks of a Feather.Praise for Freaks of a Feather: ​"One of the very best grunt's eye perspectives on combat that I've ever read.Kacy Tellessen absolutely blew me away. Amazing writing, profound insights and an incredibly powerful story." --Sebastian Junger, #1 NY Times bestselling author of The Perfect Storm, A Death in Belmont, and Tribe"Powerful prose, honest and humble. Only a Marine could write this. I'd be proud to have Kacy in my gun-team. Semper Fi." --Johnnie Clark, author of the bestselling military classic Guns Up! ​"As introspective as he is entertaining, Tellessen uses a captivating blend of muscular and minimalistic prose to give us an uncomfortably honest look at where courage and nature diverge. Freaks of a Feather immediately separates itself from the litany of exploitative military accounts by avoiding political grandstanding or vicarious violence in favor of a remarkably intimate and often heart-pounding narrative. Despite this being his debut, Tellessen is able to use the deft touch of a seasoned writer to relay his story in a way that feels universal and yet wholly personal. This book will stay at the front of my mind and my shelf for years to come." --James Wade, Spur Award-winning author of All Things Left Wild and River, Sing Out​"Tellessen's memoir opens at the cyclic rate and never lets up. Freaks of a Feather is a book that you'll stick in your cargo pocket and never leave more than one arm's distance until you've read it cover-to-cover." --Major Thomas Schueman, USMC infantry officer and English instructor at the Naval Academy.…

Paperback. Condición: Good. On a full moon night in Rotterdam, three Dutch thieves break into a major museum and steal four masterworks-two Monets, one Picasso, and a small, controversial painting, Woman with Eyes Closed. British MI-5 agent Kit Hobbs, at a delicate point in his career, is mystified to find himself assigned to the case. Based on a tip that the missing Monets are in the bunker of a Russian mobster-who lives in a beach house in Sagaponack, New York-Kit is propelled into the insular, glamorous art world of the Hamptons. ¿A few houses down from the Russian mobster, beautiful Perrin Clayton is newly married to Jack Triplett, hugely successful fabricator and art star. Perrin and Jack have "everything," and at the same time, everything is not quite enough. Kit's connection is Jack's gallerist, and they all meet at a party at the Russian's beach house. Kit immediately sees that the Russian is besotted with Perrin and devises a plan to seduce her into helping him infiltrate the Russian's house. Back in the Netherlands, the thieves are squabbling and running from the law while caught in a web of misinformation, most of it from inside their own ranks. As Kit and Perrin begin to realize that what they are feeling for each other is more than an infatuation, a hurricane barrels toward the Atlantic seaboard. Amid rising tensions, switchbacks, revelations, and a major weather event, the fate of the Woman with Eyes Closed stays in play, as well as what the future will be for all.…
