Tom Christian is on the trail of revenge and a fortune in gold. As square-jawed and rugged as Clark Gable in his prime, Tom is headed deep into the jungles of the Solomon Islands to find Punjo Charlie-the ruthless criminal who killed his partner. But these jungles are thick with danger . . . as greed, temptation and sudden violence threaten to draw Tom into the heart of darkness. There's a pile of gold. . . . There's a beautiful blonde. . . . And there's a bloodthirsty tribe of headhunters who have fallen under the spell of Punjo Charlie. The trap has been set. The question is: will Tom fall into it? Will he lose his way and lose his head . . . or will he get his revenge, get the gold and get the girl? The answer lies buried in the rain forest . . . and in Tom's heart. And as he's about to discover, there's only one way out of the jungle: all-out war. In 1927, L. Ron Hubbard sailed across the Pacific to Guam to meet his naval officer father. It was the beginning of an adventure that would take him from the Western Hills of China to the South Pacific islands. Along the way he met Cantonese pirates, Chamorro natives, British spies, and headhunters of the South Pacific. He was one of the few Westerners to come away from an encounter with a headhunter tribe not only unscathed, but bearing gifts as well. Those experiences and knowledge proved invaluable in the writing of such stories as The Headhunters.

The Great Western is the least known of Isambard Kingdom Brunel's three ships, being overshadowed by the later careers of the Great Britain and the Great Eastern. However, the Great Westernwas the first great success, confounding the critics in becoming the fastest ship to steam continuously across the Atlantic, and began the era of luxury transatlantic liners. It was a bold venture by Brunel and his colleagues, who were testing the limits of known technology. This book examines the businessmen, the shipbuilding committee and Brunel and looks at life on board for the crew and the passengers using diaries from the United States and England. The ship's first voyage made headline news in New York and London and involved a race with the small steamship Sirius. The Great Western's maiden voyage was a triumph, and this wooden paddle steamer became the wonder of her age. She linked antebellum New York with the London of Charles Dickens and the youthful Queen Victoria. The ship continued to carry the rich and the famous across the Atlantic for eighteen years.

Uber den praktischen Stahlschiffbau ist das letzte grossere Werk in Deutschland ("Eisenschiffbau" von Otto Schlick) vor 39 Jahren erschienen. Das letzte englische Werk ("Practical Shipbuilding" von Campbell Holmes) ist vor 25 Jahren entstanden und erlebte seither drei Auflagen. Seit der Schaffung dieser Buchwerke hat die Schiffbautechnik eine Periode um walzender Fortschritte in festigkeitstechnischen Grundlagen, sowie in zahl reichen Einzelheiten der Konstruktion und der praktischen Ausfuhrung durch gemacht. Es ist daher heute vollig gerechtfertigt und wird uberall als Bedurfnis be zeichnet, ein neues Hilfsbuch fur dieses Schaffensgebiet herauszubringen, welches dem heutigen Stand der Schiffbautechnik entspricht. Bei allen Schiffstypen war der theoretisch-konstruktive Fortschritt im wesentlichen dahin gerichtet, durch gunstigere Materialverteilung und gleichmassigere Ma terialausnutzung die notwendige Festigkeit mit verringertem Baugewicht zu erzielen, schwache Stellen in ihren Beanspruchungen zu erkennen und durch Verein fachungen verringerte Bau- und Reparaturkosten zu erzielen. Eine solche Entwicklung im Sinne der Rationalisierung der Konstruktion fuhrte u. a. dahin, dass festigkeitstechnisch fruher nicht in den Langstrager einbezogene, von Bord zu Bord reichende Aufbauten zur oberen Gurtung ausgebildet wurden. Am ausge sprochenstell kam dies bei den Spardeckern und Sturmdeckern zur Geltung, wo das Spardeck bzw. Sturmdeck zum obersten und starksten durchlaufenden Verband wurde. Das Widerstandsmoment des Tragers erhohte sich dadurch betrachtlich, und bei allen Schiffbaunationen wurde nun der Konstruktionstyp "mit Freibord" heraus gebildet, bei welchem man, vom Volldecker ausgehend, innerhalb gewisser Grenzen fur eine Vergrosserung der Seitenhohe eine Verschwachung der Verbande vornehmen konnte."
