Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - This is the story of Arnie Duffield, who arrived at Thursday Island, in Torres Strait, the Northern tip of Australia, aged ten, in 1936 - beginning a life-time of adventure. His father worked on the famous sailing luggers, diving boats that harvested pearl shells and pearls for over 100 years up to 1980. Arnie with his father and brother, with their own hands would build their own flotilla of luggers, to operate as a family company over eventful decades: seeing the Great Depression, war and the immediate threat of invasion, a post-war boom in the region, the loss of divers and constant striving for safety at sea, failures of an industry, mounting threats to the environment. For ten years he managed an innovative project cultivating pearls for jewellery, a change from selling shells, the `mother of pearl' used for buttons and ornamentation. The tropical life provided excitement, stimulus, dangers; material for yarns, about crocodiles or sharks, drunks, bad weather at sea, a near-drowning, a mercy dash in a fast boat to save a downed pilot, and a few close shaves on bush air-strips. Arnie became a leading personality in this world, a humourist and practitioner of the wisecrack, always quick with a come-back. From childhood days observing the hectic life of the far-away little port at Thursday Island, Waiben under its traditional name; then working as a young man, repairing warships, and operating the family-owned boats, he became, he would proudly state, a master mariner and proficient ship engineer. He would revel in the island life, enjoying great freedom, getting successes and hard blows; in private life, marrying, starting a family, experiencing the stresses and joys. At 95 he is known as the 'last man standing' from days when the fleet would depart under sail.…

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - The book, The Kings and Queens in the Bible, an outline study, gives, in an outline form, a comprehensive survey of activities of the kings of Judah, of Israel and those from outside Israel. The Bible, King James version, is the main source of information but sometimes sources from outside the Bible are used to give a clear picture of what the kings did or failed to do, and the repercussions of their actions and inactions. Those who obeyed God were greatly blessed but those who despised God and His laws suffered terrible consequences for their actions. Sometimes their generations shared in their woes. Any leaders who ignore the lessons of the kings and Queens in the Bible as contained in this book will certainly suffer the consequences of ungodly leadership.…

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - The United States of America and Germany have 'a rendezvous with destiny,' to quote President Franklin D. Roosevelt. It is a rendezvous that will be devastating for America, yet neither will it bode well for Germany or the rest of the world. The lumbering European Project of 27 nations known as the European Union (EU) eventually will dwindle to ten willing nations (or ten regional groups of nations) federally united under the leadership of Germany. At last, the long-cherished dream of many Europeans for a resurgent and dominant Europe on the world stage will become a reality. With shades of Christendom from the Middle Ages, and free of Anglo-Saxon trappings and the moderating influence of the UK, the new EU will be an economic and military powerhouse that will serve as a counter balance to the once mighty U.S.A. and the growing China threat from the East. The Anglo-Saxon dream of a reinvigorated Anglosphere as an alternative to the EU will prove to be an illusion. Europe will enjoy a few years of unprecedented prosperity before the Project comes to a crashing halt. How to Find America and Germany In the Bible explains why these events will take place. It also tells us that the Israelite nations of Bible fame are alive and well under their modern names and that their day of awakening is near.…

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - This play is not history in the sense in which dialogue and word might be used for historical or academic purposes. The intended purpose of this play is strictly for entertainment and dramatical production. For the sake of dramatic purposes, characters have been fused into one character, characters have been entirely deleted, and information gathered may have fallen into the category of folklore due to the passage of time and to the sensationalism surrounding such a tragedy. The reader or audience should, however, discover within the dramatic framework one of the modern-day tragedies that led to what is now known as the Chongqing Model which helped shape China's rapidly growing economy that shifted from the coastal cities to the interior provinces just a few years after the opening of the Three Gorges Dam and the dynamic success of the 2008 Beijing Olympics.…

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - I like to joke how this is sort of two novels which kinda got merged. This occurred whenever inflicted with 'burn out' during those heavy days I pounded on the computer keyboard writing, Three Cheers for Father Donovan. For anyone who's never done it, let me attest as to how the necessary research and the required language translations extract a costly toll. {Latin is the official language of the Holy See. Yes, some Vatican documents are translated into English, but many are not.} Thus, it is agony to enjoy the ecstasy for me to say, 'J.D., you did good job.' And it happens only when it's over. It never fails. I always embark on writing one of these grandiose, epic historical novels completely cognizant of the scope, but utterly ignorant of the scale. Such was the case writing The Bolsheviks.Three Cheers for Father Donovan.The Black Madonna to some degree. It is a one to four year odyssey in which I will ask myself many times, 'J.D., is this really worth it ' It must be. I always persevere until completion. However, in search of a diversion, I would-from time to time-seek escape by prattling about the exploits of the Rearchek, Langer, Machado, and Benelli families. Nothing much. Twenty pages here. Thirty pages there. In the end, I found myself with a lore of exactly two hundred pages when it came time to submit my manuscript, Three Cheers for Father Donovan, to the publisher. Then came, The Pontchartrain Connection. I never experience a need for any 'down time' when I wrote that novel. For some reason, with that novel, I was in a state of perpetual 'writer's groove' from start to finish. {Writer's groove is what I call that weird clarity of knowing full well beforehand as to where this is all going and how my characters will get there.} Once again, after handing my publisher the manuscript for, The Pontchartrain Connection, I did find myself examining those two hundred pages and saying, 'J.D., let's finish it.' So I did. Hence, everything from the point when Sherrie and Sheba fall in love onward constitutes the new novel. Everything prior to that is the old. As my copy-editor, Mandy, told me after a review of my old script, 'Gee, J.D., why all the sex ' Answer: 'I was toying around when I wrote it.' So, why in the hell am I boring my readers to death with this whining confession as to why I wrote what amounts to a trashy potboiler Well folks, the answer to that is two-fold: One, it makes for a fun read. Two, another epic is in the works. Yes, it's about to happen all over again. I am now toiling with my attempt to mate Mary Shelly's novel, Frankenstein, with Dale Brown's novel, The Da Vinci Code. The outcome will be something I call, The Maltese Messiah. Now, there is some good news: I have in the works not one, but two novels to fall back on should I need a break.The sequel to this novel, The Unholy Family, and the follow-on novel, The Run for the Roses.May the God of Our Fathers be with me.…
