Review Ten Hours Until Dawn: The True Story of Heroism and Tragedy Aboard the Can Do / Blackstone Audiobooks:In the midst of the Blizzard of 1978, the tanker Global Hope floundered on the shoals in Salem Sound off the Massachusetts coast. The Coast Guard heard the Mayday calls and immediately dispatched a patrol boat. Within an hour, the Coast Guard boat was in as much trouble as the tanker, having lost its radar, depth finder, and engine power in horrendous seas. Pilot boat Captain Frank Quirk was monitoring the Coast Guard’s efforts by radio, and when he heard that the patrol boat was in jeopardy, he decided to act. Gathering his crew of four, he readied his forty-nine-foot steel boat, the Can Do, and entered the maelstrom of the blizzard. Using dozens of interview and audiotapes that recorded every word exchanged between Quirk and the Coast Guard, Tougias has written a devastating, true account of bravery and death at sea.

Review For Germany: The Otto Skorzeny Memoirs / R. James Bender Publishing:Otto Skorzeny only rose to the rank of Colonel in the SS, yet is one of the best known and colorful figures of the Third Reich, in large part because of the faith Hitler had in the tall Austrian engineer. Many books have been written about his career, to include autobiographies, but before he died in 1975 he personally entrusted Bender Publishing with the formidable task of producing the most detailed, up-dated and best illustrated version of his incredible life story. A quarter of a century later, after painstaking research into the text and a hunt for unpublished illustrations, the ultimate story of Scarface Skorzeny, the most dangerous man in Europe and Hitler's commando extraordinary is finally available. Complete with an exhaustive index, providing biographical details not found in the text, this is likely to be the last word on this larger than life personality, one of the great characters of World War II.

Review Through Central Borneo / IndyPublish:The Head-Hunters of Borneo (OPB, #6. 95), Carl Bock's account of his expedition to the jungles of Central Borneo in the 1870s, so fired the imagination of fellow-Norwegian Carl Lumholtz that he repeated the journey in reverse between 1913 and 1917. Packed with details of river journeys, encounters with wild animals, and sojourns with headhunters, his own recollections of this largely unexplored region are just as exciting and informative.

Review Walther Nernst: Pioneer of Physics, And of Chemistry / World Scientific Publishing Company:More than 100 years ago, in 1905, Walther Nernst discovered the Third Law of Thermodynamics, thus completing this fundamental theory. In 1920 he was awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry. The book describes the life of this pioneer of science, his major stations being Graz, then Göttingen, and finally Berlin. Also presented is a lively account of the development of low temperature physics by Nernst during the early days of quantum theory, when he was in Berlin, closely associated with Albert Einstein, Max Planck, and Max von Laue. The book outlines the specific advances achieved by Nernst in the thermodynamic concepts of theoretical chemistry. Written for a general readership, it can also serve as a supplement for courses in physics and chemistry. In addition to the role of science in the life of Nernst, the impact of the political turmoil in Germany before and after the advent of the 20th century is also told.

Review Life, Love and Asparagus: First the Pain-Then comes Peace / PublishAmerica:One could expect an only child to be much loved and even spoiled. I didn’t feel either of these growing up. Even though as a child I was loved by some special people, it was the love of my mother that I dearly wanted. I have never even seen a picture of my father and finally met my mother at about the age of seven. I soon learned she wasn’t a loving person. This story is about a lifelong search for love and acceptance. God frequently put the right people in my path who showed me love. I am glad that I found that love is all around and I didn’t need to wait for my mother’s love. I would not write this until after my mother had been deceased a few years. I was afraid of her into my 40s and older. [+]I have been widowed twice, once at the age of 29 with my four children between the ages 3 to10, and again when I lost my husband Les in 2001 after 29 years. I have had a troubled life, but I feel so blessed. My children are all loving children and Les was the most wonderful man in my life.
