Death was always a ship mate as Captain Beasley set sail for easy fishing in the North Sea. The chance of a fatality was 14 times greater than that of a coal miner at the start of the 20th century. Could the sea be a mistress that he could not forget? Gladly, this Yankee would give it all up for the Belle of Grimsby. However, she has many admirers, including Sir Henry Draker and the adoring fans of the London stage. He would give up the sea and become a farmer if she would only be his. Shipping out on the "Angel Girl" to forget her, however, backfires when he discovers the unwilling passengers aboard and their true destination.

I met Lucky Joe early in 1901 when I stowed away aboard the Elginshire out of Liverpool, England. Joe felt that all his luck came from divine intervention for which he was most grateful and quick to give the glory-and testament. We were both bound for San Francisco, where it was rumored the streets were paved with gold. Shanghaied off the wharf of San Francisco aboard a whaler, however, proved to be a horrendous near death experience side-tracking our prospecting adventure in Sonora, California.

Geomathematics is the application of mathematical methods to solve problems in geosciences, including geology and geophysics. It is also called mathematical geophysics. There are several applications of geomathematics in different areas such as data assimilation, geophysics, terrestrial tomography, crystallography, geomorphology, glaciology and geophysical statistics. The field of geomorphology involves the application of geomathematics by using mathematical methods related to soil and water. It includes the application of various mathematical concepts such as Darcy's law, Stoke's law, stream power and differential equations. Seismic tomography, a technique used for the imaging of the subsurface of the Earth by using seismic waves, also makes extensive use of geomathematics. This book provides a detailed explanation of geomathematics. Its extensive content provides the readers with a thorough understanding of the theory and applications of this field. Coherent flow of topics, student-friendly language, and extensive use of examples make this book an invaluable source of knowledge.

This anthology includes the story of the original painting of the "Sole Survivor" and where it was discovered 90 years later. McShane watched as the "Marguerite" went down stern first in turbulent waves with all hands aboard. He was shanghaied on the Bering Sea whaler "Northern Light" in 1901, recounted through his short stories and poems. He heard the call of the Yukon to search for gold and later choked on the ochre dust of an Arizona cattle ranch starved for water; more precious than gold. Relive the frenzy of the penny mining stocks of the 1920's or '30's and the chalk board that trumpets those impassionate, impersonal announcements of the failure of yet another bonanza mine. Would they all fail or reward his tinselled certificates with a fortune? Is life worth living without a Hupmobile? In an era when change exploded in this country from old western to the industrial age, survival required vigor and adaptation. Life then, as now, wasn't easy.
