Description:This book fits many Goodreads categories: Some of its fourteen stories are autobiographical, some memoirs, some just literary non-fiction. They are about adventure, history, courage, love, music, science, and survival in different countries from WWII to the present. The heroes are not celebrities but unknown, ordinary people, and the common thread is their spirit. For example:- A young man hitch-hikes with a small sailboat as if it were hand luggage.- An American soldier wakes up in a bamboo cage hanging above a cesspool of a Vietnamese camp, but miraculously escapes.- A lifelong saga of two cellos with music tracks on the book website.- A scientist invents steering for soviet submarines, but practices yoga long before it became popular; he also discovers that Hitler’s engineers used computers before Americans.- Risking his life in Communist Prague, a dedicated Scout leader raises twenty successful young men.- Good Germans help a great unknown artist on his escape from a Nazi labour camp.- In California, a former Navy Seal builds an unusual wine cellar under his house.- One sentence to a Dutch employer ruins the mathematician’s life.- A German soldier who is a pacifist never fires his rifle yet almost loses his leg on Juno Beach.- A Canadian programmer tries to use a dead skunk to deter beavers from destroying valuable trees.- When one of the engines fails, the Chief Engineer’s bold decision saves an aircraft carrier from capsizing in a typhoon.- Two scientists overcome a devil’s temptation after receiving a gift of eight pounds of gold.- The author investigates whether carboard models of Cheops Pyramid can sharpen razor blades.- A cello teacher performs in circus to supplement his poor income.- Three Cold-War veterans meet on a cruise transiting Panama Canal: a former pilot of the bomber loaded with nukes, officer from the control center that would issue the order to deploy them, and the mechanic who maintained these planes.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
