Sea, Sun & Taraipo is an adventure story about escaping the rat race on a sailing boat. John Jameson set off on a Polynesian catamaran, Taraipo, to cross the Atlantic and survived losing the mast in a storm, a mugging in Brazil and a collision in the night, and saved a drowning man at sea. He tells the story of what it is really like to share life in a very small space, in constant motion, with nowhere to hide. His dream of crossing an ocean became a 'decade out', with a back-to-basics, zero-carbon lifestyle full of adventure, challenges and romance, while sailing around the world.

Orphaned Julia never expected to be sent away, especially not to the ill-named House of Mercy. But adventure awaits her in this historical journey, based on a true story. “Go home,” eleven-year-old orphan Julia Delaney is told, but home for her is gone. Spirited and strong, Julia faces a cruel life at an orphanage—the House of Mercy—blistering cold winters, and countless disappointments. But not even hopeful Julia can imagine what awaits her in Montana—and with the help of a miracle or two, she sets the sun a-sailing. Like the heroines of the beloved American Girls series, Julia’s journey paints a vivid picture of United States history. Based on the true story of a real girl, with additional details explained in an Author’s Note, The Year We Sailed the Sun is historical fiction at its best.

Sailing for the Sun celebrates in 1989 the bicentenary of the arrival of the first Chinese in the Hawaiian Islands. In 1789, the Islands had not yet been united as a kingdom under Kamehameha; the various Islands were ruled by high chiefs for several more years. The Islands, "discovered" just a scant 11 years before by the British Captain James Cook, were a beautiful chain of lush lands, soaring volcanic mountains, with a moderate climate and a relatively sparse population.

Solar sailing - using the sun as a propellant - offers the possibility of low-cost long-distance missions that are impossible with conventional spacecraft. This first comprehensive book on this propulsion method provides a detailed account of solar sailing, at a high technical level, but in a way accessible to the scientifically informed layperson. Solar sail orbital dynamics and solar radiation pressure form the foundations of the book, but the engineering design of solar sails is also considered, along with potential mission applications.

Caught in the terrifying blood bath of the partition of India, a young boy flees the city of Lahore on one of the last trains to newly independent India. One of the few passengers to reach Delhi alive, he struggles to begin a new life. An Indian Navy advertisement inspires him to join the Navy. Amongst his many postings are a deputation to the Nigerian Navy, where he is witness to the Nigerian military coups, and to Jamnagar in Gujarat during the Indo Pak war of 1971. A Sailing Ship, a Girl in Love, and the Setting Sun: A Memoir is written from his daughter Neena’s perspective who sketches his life in pre-partition Lahore, his narrow escape to Delhi, his life in the Navy, and his marriage to Chanchal Khosla. As Commander Shivraj Krishan Sarin’s grandson wonders what his aging grandfather must have been like in his youth, the years unfold, and we read a story of love, loss, and fortitude.

Solar sail technology is very close to becoming an engineering reality and it will soon be used in the exploration of the solar system and beyond. This fascinating book provides an accessible introduction to solar sails and details how they work and what they will be used for in the exploration of space. It also examines current plans for solar sails and how advanced technology, such as nanotechnology, might enhance their performance. Coverage shows how solar sail propulsion will make space exploration more affordable and demonstrates how access to destinations within (and beyond) the solar system will become within reach.
