Spring Tides (eBook, ePUB)
'This is my earliest memory. I am three years old and I sit in the bottom of my great-uncle's pot boat and take off the bands from the lobsters' claws. The deepest of blues, they creak over the bilges with robotic limbs towards my father's bare feet as he rows. Over the scent of the herring bait I can smell the fresh, sweet smell of wrack on the shore. This book has come out of over twenty years of studying the sea and trying to protect it, and a lifetime of loving our other world beneath waves. The sea is my work and my passion. I have been its advocate in situations where I must be reasoned, considered and evidence-based. But, I am also seduced and obsessed by the infinite diversity of the sea, its breath-stopping beauty and capacity for surprise. I have stood frozen in primitive fear as a basking shark, its granite skin dappled by sunlight, looms under the boat for long seconds. I have dived on our cold water horse mussel reefs, where the queen scallops are encrusted in golden sponges and the crimson squat lobsters wave their claws in the current, laughing with delight into my regulator. I have breathed deep on the bow of a scallop dredger in the twilight before dawn as we make our way to the fishing grounds, the crew on the deck smoking in silence as the sun begins to rise out of the dark, silver sea.'In Spring Tides, marine biologist Fiona Gell tells the story of a pioneering project to create the very first marine nature reserve on the Isle of Man. Growing up in a traditional fishing family on the island, Fiona spent her time on her grandfather's boat, listening to stories from the local fishermen and combing the beach for mermaid's purses and whelks' eggs. She developed a lifelong love of the sea and Manx culture, and on her return to the island after twelve years away studying marine life, she led a three-year-long struggle to protect an area called Ramsey Bay and the precious emerald green eelgrass forests which grew there. With scientific insight and spellbinding prose she perfectly captures the wonder of island life, from the intricate beauty of bright pink maerl, to the enormity of giant basking sharks spotted off the cliffs of the bay. This beautiful story from a small island reveals the transformative power of the sea, and the importance of protecting it for future generations.- Shop: buecher

Lectric Prayer
LORD DON'T FRAY, JUMP OUT OF YOUR GRAVE, HIP HIP HOORAY, LECTRIC PRAYER................ It's always challenging to delve into your soul and psyche and dare yourself to release the comfort-ability that mocks most of us. A lot of us are just patterns of behavior, regimented in routine which seep-ens our skin and becomes character. We are always fighting the hard and difficult obstacles that beleaguer our aspirations and raid it with an easy fix. Do it the fast and cheapest way, or stuff ourselves in some vice and addiction. Let's just live life the hardest. I guess that's the American spirit. At least that's how it seems now. My last record 10 SONGS OF AMERICA TODAY seemed to be engrossed in a present tense of an America that just screamed for change. Well, dagnabbit, things have changed dramatically....It's not getting any easier, economy on the skids, dollar slipping in value, inflation, and it's tougher and tougher to make what we used to make, a buck. There's only one reason for my new release LECTRIC PRAYER..........It's to raise spirits. A spirit of belief, a spirit of I can, a spirit of I will, a spirit of I must. I'm a living example of it. I dived into a dark lagoon not knowing if I was going to sink or swim. Am I being dramatic? Yeah a bit. I absolutely had no idea what this would sound like when I went into the studio. Thanks to being brainwashed by the producer John Chelew, I just went in blindfolded, no rehearsal, with complete strangers and shazaam LECTRIC PRAYER was born. But I wish upon every songwriter alive that they can embark on such a journey with an ensemble like this. SARA WATKINS on violin and back-up vocals, her brother SEAN WATKINS on mandolin and tenor guitar and back-up vocals, DON HEFFINGTON on drums, SEBASTIAN STEINBERG on stand-up bass and broken banjo. The songs were chosen from a batch that I had written and these were hand selected by John as he felt they 'themed together properly'.............RUNAWAY HELLBOUND TRAIN defines, I think, a sound I had envisioned, a sort of blue-grassy meeting deep Delta, tinged with Chicago Chess.....Oh well, so much for recipes. I have a few open E tuning tracks which PITCHFORK BRIGADE exemplifies. Here I'm on a Telecaster, drone picking, and Calvinising a new day coming. GOOD 'OL CIRCUS DAYS haunts us like a living twilight zone with a slight chromatic half-step that keeps us and it in an unevenness. Don came up with great drum rolls that hinted of the big-top. Sarah's violin couldn't be more psycho-licious......Oh, and how could I not tell the tale about TRAIN TO HEAVEN......After the first day of recording, I was in bed wrestling with sleep and then the song just trumpeted in my mind.....The melody, the verse, all written in my head like some force had swallowed me in a huge melodious-lyricality.....That's unusual for me. I saw that train gliding on them golden tracks...i walked in the studio singing it and two minutes later we recorded it. Sheldon brought in an old broken banjo on a fluke and started pickin' and we knew it was right. And of course the title track LECTRIC PRAYER......Sean and Sarah's distinct Dixie harmonies whistling through my interpretation of a 'lucky to be alive' word collage. Oh well, things will get better, them black crows will empty the skies, and our souls will shine again........ Crosby Tyler March 2nd, 2010.- Shop: odax

The White Sniper
The White Sniper is characterised by three moves against any black setup: 1.g3 2.Bg2 and 3.c4 though not necessarily in that order. Think of The White Sniper as a Hyper- Accelerated Sicilian Dragon against anything that Black plays. The White Sniper has stealthy surprising power and is super-sound – even more sound than The Black Sniper – and yet avoids the most analysed theory of 1.d4 openings, making it an excellent choice to play for a win. The White Sniper practitioners’ philosophy is to avoid known drawish theory, whilst keeping a small advantage and stopping Black from having any dangerous counterplay.I prefer to play The White Sniper with 1.g3, allowing Black the option of a large pawn centre with e5 and d5. However, when starting out with the White Sniper learn it first with 1.c4 to cut down on what you need to know. This opening and the Black Sniper recently helped me to secure an International Master Norm at the 2019 British Chess Championship.In the White Sniper FritzTrainer I have ‘Deep Dived’ with the engine, normally to at least depth 30, to help guide my opinions and suggestions. • Video running time: 6 hours 40 min (English)• With interactive training including video feedback• Extra: Database with model games• Bonus: Further Training chapter with repertoire and play featuresCharlie Storey is an FM from England, English Chess Federation Academy Coach and U18 Team Coach.
