Because Ideas Matter... The faculty and staff of Butler University's College of Liberal Arts and Sciences presents Recommended Readings Shadow Divers by Robert Kurson. Alfred E. Knopf 2004 Reviewed by Dick McGowan Shadow Divers may be the perfect book for history buffs. The book recounts the discovery of a German submarine sunk off the coast of New Jersey. But the boat appears in no military record and its identity is unknown. John Chatterton and Richie Kohler, weekend scuba divers, explore the wreck in 230 feet of water, attempting to find the artifact that would garner an identity for U-Who. Shadow Divers is worth reading if for no other reason than to understand deepwater diving-and its dangers. Yet Kurson knows what good fiction writers know: character drives the plot, even a plot, or story, as wildly improbable as the book chronicles.

  • Adventure Stories Nonfiction
    Santa Cruz Public Libraries - Readers' Advisory Adventure Stories Nonfiction Real life adventure stories for adventurous readers. Hand picked by your local librarian. Adventure Stories The Bad Ass Librarians of Timbuktu: and their race to save the world's most precious manuscripts by Hammer, Joshua 025.8 HAM Journalist Hammer (Yokohama Burning) reports on librarian Abdel Kader Haidara and his associates' harrowing ordeal as they rescued 370,000 historical manuscripts from destruction by al-Qaeda-occupied Timbuktu. Hammer sketches Haidara's career amassing manuscripts from Timbuktu's neighboring towns and building his own library, which opened in 2000. Meanwhile, three al-Qaeda operatives, Mokhtar Belmokhtar, Abdel-hamid Abou Zeid, and Iyad Ag Ghali, escalate from kidnapping and drug trafficking to orchestrating a coup with Tuareg rebels against the Malian army and seizing Timbuktu. The militants aim to "turn the clocks back fourteen hundred years" by destroying revered religious shrines and imposing Sharia law, which includes flogging unveiled women and severing the hands of thieves. Fearing for the safety of the manuscripts, Haidara and associates buy up "every trunk in Timbuktu" and pack them off 606 miles south to Bamako, employing a team of teenage couriers. Hammer does a service to Haidara and the Islamic faith by providing the illuminating history of these manuscripts, managing to weave the complicated threads of this recent segment of history into a thrilling story.

    WWW.ICLRU.ORG ICL READS 2021 Program Guide Rocket Men: The Daring Odyssey of Apollo 8 and the Astronauts Who Made Man’s First Journey to the Moon By Robert Kurson SYNOPSIS ver a million spectators in Florida and thousands around the globe gathered on July 16, 1969, to watch three Oastronauts reach a new frontier - a walk on the moon. But this triumph of Apollo 11 would never have been possible without the Apollo 8 Mission, which, against incredible odds, was the first to send men in orbit around the moon. Robert Kurson has written a real-life thriller, compiled by detailed data and astronaut interviews, that reveals just how stunning and risky this achievement was in its planning, technology, and execution. Kurson uses novelistic detail and a sense of immediacy to reveal the risks faced by NASA as well as the astronauts themselves and their families. Jim Lovell, Bill Anders and Frank Borman are true Hemingway heroes displaying “grace under pressure”. Filled with vivid, unforgettable detail and set against an historical time rife with rioting, war protests, racial unrest and the assassinations of several national leaders, Kurson provides us with a riveting account of America’s finest hours and a reason to have pride and hope in our nation. 1 2 3 READ THE BOOK JOIN THE ATTEND EXCITING CONVERSATION EVENTS 1 WWW.ICLRU.ORG ICL READS PROGRAMS* Week of March 8, 2021 2021: AN ICL SPACE ODYSSEY An out of this world multi-day event focused on OUTER SPACE featuring presentations by ICL Coordinators.

Designed to approach its victims from below the surface, attack and then creep away, it relied on stealth both to do its job and to survive. The possibility of being attacked by a U-boat nearly anywhere, anytime, was very real. Countermeasures developed by the Allies vastly reduced its effectiveness as a weapon, and by the second half of the war, these undersea hunters had become the hunted. Of the approximately 800 operational German U-boats that ventured out into the world’s oceans, roughly three quarters never returned from their final voyages. These losses were due to several factors: the efforts of Allied Anti-Submarine Warfare Forces (ASW), mechanical failure, human error, or extreme weather. When a U-boat sank, for any reason, it often took its identity to the bottom along with it, and created a mystery that would, at times, be solved haphazardly by post-war assessors and historians. The wartime loss of a U-boat could have involved survivors, but often a loss would include all 14 ISSUE 17 • 2009 www.WreckDivingMag.com Part 1 of a 3-Part Article - The U-Boat War By John Yurga, Richie Kohler, and John Chatterton hands.
