Book Description
Reginald McKenna has never been the subject of scholarly attention. This was part due to his own preference for appearing at the periphery of events even when ostensibly at the centre, and the absence of a significant collection of private papers.
This new book redresses the neglect of this major statesmen and financier partly through the natural advance of historical research, and by the discoveries of missing archive material. McKenna's role is now illuminated by his own reflections, and by the correspondence of friends and colleagues, including Asquith, Churchill, Keynes, Baldwin, Bonar Law, MacDonald and Chamberlain. McKenna's presence at the hub of political life in the first half of the century is now clear: in the radical Liberal governments of 1905-16, where he acted as a lightning conductor for the party; during the war; where he served as the Prime Minister's deputy and the principal voice for restraint in the conduct of the war; and as chairman of the world's largest bank, whereuntil his death in office aged 80, he prompted progressive policies to deal with the issues of war debt, trade, mass unemployment and the return to gold.
McKenna reliably declined offers from publishers in his lifetime. Unconcerned with posterity, one can only speculate as to his opinion if a posthumous enquiry were to be held. However, he would probably have agreed that the largest remaining gap in the twentieth-century British political biography has been well filled.

How to Sail Around the World : Advice and Ideas for Voyaging Under Sail
ASIN: 0345410122
Release Date: 1996-09-29 |
Book Description
Tania Aebe was an eighteen-year-old dropout and barfly. She was going nowhere until her father offered her a challenge. He would offer her either a college education or a twenty-six-foot sloop in which she had to sail around the world alone. She chose the boat and for two years it was her home, as she negotiated weather, illness, fear, and ultimately, a spiritual quest that brought her home to herself....
From the Paperback edition.

What you don't know gives you courage!!!.......2007-09-09
This book is an incredible journey!!! I can only say that Tania really had courage...even though at the time she probably would have said..."what do you mean?" It just proves what one can do by "just doing" and "thinking less"... Maiden Voyage is very well written, a good read, and really makes you wonder and understand the epitamy of how a parent's dreams and desires for their children can be criticized, yet have dramatic results. I loved the book and tell anyone involved in boating to read it. It's just an AMAZING story!!!
Courageous around the world sailing voyage........2007-04-01
Tania Aebi's bravery and toughness cannot be questioned in this, her account of her 2 year voyage around the world. She really knew little to nothing about sailing other than what her father had shown her. Her father was a bit of an adrenelin junkie and a thrill seeker. He talked his daughter into doing something he wanted to do. She had many trials and tribulations with her tiny sail boat and her couple of passenger cats. Hearing about all of her latest lovers and thier enevitable breakups was a bit tiresome,but overall a good book.
A small sail boat, a troublesome engine, self-discovery , and a search for love.......2007-03-01
Tania managed to sail around the world in a little over two years. The youngest person to sail around the world by herself. Tania story is suspenseful: finding the Varuna, repairs on the Varuna, island near miss, near collisons and death along coast line, surviving storm galls, periods of boredom, a birthday on the ocean, dinner with Luc, meeting Luc's wife, memories of her insane mother, saying good bye to her dying mother, the love of her father, learning reading a sexton, a handy RF radio, losing weight, starving, boredom, a trusted cat companion, waiting out the winter in Thaiti, traversing the Altantic and its massive waves, and sailing into the NY. Tania vulnerablity was concerning: communication with strangers on the ocean, her infatuation with Luc and his exploitive intentions could have threaten personal security; Tania learning by trial an error how to navigate; Tania losing 400 dollars and shortages of cash; tania engine problems and lack of tools, parts and mechanically training.
"Shiver me timbers!".......2006-08-01
Maybe I'm being unfair, but MAIDEN VOYAGE rankled me from the starboard dust jacket to the port, with its repetitive, "The first American woman---and the youngest person ever---to circumnavigate the globe alone." That, and the saccharine title just set my teeth on edge before I ever turned to page one.
But turn I did, hoping this book would be more than it seemed to promise. As an approximate contemporary of Tania Aebi's who bought his first boat just as she set sail in "Varuna" (and a native New Yorker) I expected to be able to relate to Tania, much as I did to Robin Lee Graham who circumnavigated in "Dove" when I was much younger. But I found I really didn't like the Tania Aebi I met in these pages, either when I first read MAIDEN VOYAGE in 1985 or revisiting it in 2006.
Perhaps it was the publisher's pitch. Tania was repetitively described as a "troubled" adolescent, but it soon became clear that her biggest "trouble" was surviving an affluent, eccentric family. With an artist father and a dying, mentally ill mother in a sanitarium in Europe, Tania could be expected to have a slew of "issues" and she does throughout the book. I just found her emotional self-absorption boring in the extreme.
I also found that I was truly infuriated at her father who should have been arrested for intent to commit manslaughter. Apparently Ernst Aebi believed that a solo circumnavigation was just the ticket toward giving his daughter a focus in life, and so he practically shanghaied her into making the trip even though Tania could barely motor "Varuna" out into the Narrows the day she left. Not that Ernst was any better. "Varuna" set sail with all manner of design flaws (weak chainplates, a bad engine, and a water-scooping hawsepipe, any one of which might have sunk her in sight of the Brooklyn Bridge). The man was so driven to send his daughter out to fulfill HIS dreams that he (and they) seemed to have spent no time at all on evaluating the boat for its intended purpose. Given Tania's lack of sailing skills and her lack of familarity with "Varuna," the thing was a deathtrap for her. Miraculously, she lived to tell about it.
I learned more about sailing just taking my 24-footer out onto Long Island Sound three days a week than Tania seemed to learn in months of continuous blue water cruising. Her navigation skills were suicidally poor and her understanding of weather, current and wind seemed stalled at a beginner's level all along.
Her remembrances of people she met and places she visited were the high points of MAIDEN VOYAGE, though we certainly could have used less information about her various (yawn!) lovers along the way, all of whom seemed stamped out of a Gallic cookie-cutter. The writing style is choppy, though it's altogether clear that Bernadette Brennan (of CRUISING WORLD magazine) did most of the actual writing after culling Tania's memory. The "Oh yeah, now this," and "Oh yeah, now that" tone of MAIDEN VOYAGE is a product of a tale told in fits and starts with no unifying thread.
That seems to be the biggest failing of MAIDEN VOYAGE. Although Tania gives us a colorful travelogue, she barely shows us any insight or reflection. The experience of single-handing around the world seems to pass over her like a wave, leaving barely a ripple behind. Returning to New York at age twenty she seems barely more mature than she did at age eighteen when she sailed away. She is not Bernard Moitessier, and "Varuna" is not "Joshua". At the end, she's just a girl and it's just a boat. More's the pity.
Full of Courage.......2006-06-19
Being a parent of two daughters I don't know if I could do what Tania's father did -- sending his daughter sailing across the world -- ALONE -- at the age of eighteen. But I do understand his vision of what an adventure can do to change a persons life, and that is definitely seen in Tania's story. She left a troubled teen and came back a woman.
This is a wonderful coming of age story that I think women of all ages will enjoy. It's got it all, love, adventure, death, and yes...even cats.

Hotel de Dream: A New York Novel

Release Date: 2004-02-02 |
Book Description
Maiden Voyage is an account of author Denton Welch's sixteenth year, when he ran away from his English public school and was then sent to Shanghai to live with his father. The book was Welch's first and created a sensation on publication in 1943; its frank description of public schoolboy life forced publisher Herbert Read to initially seek advice from libel lawyers. Even Winston Churchill's private secretary gossiped in a letter that, "the book was reeking with homosexuality? I think I must get it." Today, Welch's expressions of sexuality may seem more demure than outrageous, but his portrayal of the passions and humiliations of adolescence is graphic. As in all of Welch's novels, it is the precisely realized details of the author's physical and social surroundings that make the book such a remarkable journey.
Customer Reviews:
There Should Be a 6 Star Rating For This.......2000-12-14
This is the book I want them to toss in my coffin before they nail the lid down. I chanced upon Maiden Voyage many years ago and as soon as I finished it, I wanted to read it all over again. The friend, who realized I had borrowed it, rather unpleasantly made me return it. Written autobiographically by a young English boy, it is an astonishing, often scandalous, and occasionally deviant account of a coming of age. Denton's brilliant style, deceptively simple but frank and intimate is timeless. Aspects of British upper class life have altered only a little since this book was written, which was pre WW2. There are still tormented boys on trains heading back to school and contemplating escape. The glimpses of Shanghai still haunt me.
I am rarely as moved by the written word. Denton Welch was a genius, a truly great writer. Maiden Voyage is his most revealing work. Order it immediately! I'm never going to lend my copy to anyone.....

Teaching materials about which everyone feels easy and which he can enjoy and learn.
In addition, the teaching materials (with [ of Mike Di Liddo ] performance CD) of guitar voicing were put on the market in the same title recently.
This book offers an important element indispensable to a performance of the jazz guitar which us tend to forget.

On the cover of The Last Days of the Titanic, Captain Smith peers at a lifeboat far below with a portentously worry-furrowed expression (there's a blow-up of the photo inside). The photo, which captures the man's soul, was taken at the start of the Titanic's trip by Francis Browne, a priest who got a ticket for the first couple days' voyage--before the Atlantic crossing--as a present from his uncle. Browne was no dumb shutterbug; he beat his classmate James Joyce on his honours exams (and Joyce put him in Finnegans Wake as "Mr. Browne, the Jesuit"). Browne studied the great masters in Florence, and his educated eye is evident in his compositions. He published Father Browne's Ireland and many other books, and the head of Kodak Great Britain took one look at Browne's work and gave him free film for life.
This book boasts several photos of unique interest, including the only known clear shot of the part of the ship that remains almost intact today, the forecastle, which hit bottom first. It's also got some human interest: Browne, who died in 1960, almost missed the chance to win the Croix de Guerre for war heroism, save souls, and make art all his life, because of the kindness of an American millionaire couple he met at dinner on the Titanic. They liked Browne so much they offered to pay his way to New York. He wired his Jesuit superior, who wired back, "GET OFF THAT SHIP."
It was, Browne noted, "the only time holy obedience saved a man's life!" And his pictures give a genuine sense of life aboard the doomed boat. --Tim Appelo
Customer Reviews:
The pictures were great........1999-09-09
the pictures helped show me how exactly the life was for the passangers in this great ship.
very good for a titanic historian.......1998-06-21
As a Titanic Historian and a avid book reader I found this particular book to be a great reference for a person who wants to see life on the great ship. however the book was based upon father brownes photographs and since he took only a few onboard, the book is rather incomplete. but I still enjoyed it and still open it up every now and then.
One of The Best..........1998-06-07
The 10 for this book goes alot to Father Francis Browne who compiled his wonderful and unique collection of pictures,notes,and letters which he aquired during and after the Titanic tragedy,as a passenger on the Titanic.As Father Browne disembarked at Queenstown,Ireland,he was saved however had several friends aboard the ship and liked to take alot of pictures which he arranged in an album,writing his thoughts about each as he went along.There are a few pictures of other ships but this book is about the first 2 days aboard Titanic as a passenger and the aftermath.To be found in someone's attic,the photo album is a true Titanic treasure.The information is good, however not a wealth of technology as far as the construstion of the ship;this is rather personal which can tend to give one goosebumps....
"last days" is intriguing!.......1998-04-01
Found the numerous photos and accompanying text fascinating. Shows life on the Titanic as well as other ships,big and small. Hard to believe these were taken so very long ago. Brings the Titanic incident to life as you cruise through the book. What luck that the photographer departed the "T" in Ireland and missed the catastrophe.
decent.......1998-03-11
For the price, I wouldn't really reccomend this book. If you're an avid Titanic fan and have read everything els,e it's a decent buy seeing as how most of the photographs that you see of the Titanic came from this man, but the pictures aren't very dramatic and it's not a good place to look if you want a good summary of the Titanic and what happened. I'd suggest "Illustrated History of the Titanic" for that. This is mainly just a collection of photos of some of the people on board. Rather dull.

Book Description
The brainchild of Emory Smythe, British cruise line owner, a near perfect replica of Titanic has been built in hopes of reviving the age of the great liners. Titanic II is as close to the original as possible with the exceptions of modern safety and navigational equipment and her systems are controlled by a super computer.
In April, 2012, she sets sail on her Maiden Voyage from Southampton to New York under the command of Matt Ferguson. Among the over 2000 passengers are the Line's managing director, Arthur Brighton, the ship's builder, Edward Jacobs and a host of wealty and prominent including the King of England and his security Cheif Peter Bishop. Also on board are Andrew Westler, screenwriter and renowned film actress Rebecca Archer, her family and fiance' Duncan Moore.
On the open sea, passengers settle in for the voyage, get aquainted and lose themselves in nostalgia but as Titanic II approaches the position of her namesake, conditions are much the same as on the fateful night 100 years earlier. What no one knows is that a faulty computer program and a virus inserted by an assassin have worked to wreck Titanic's computer. She strikes ice which rips away half her lifeboats and leaves the ship sinking with the watertight doors stuck open. With a hurricane approaching, Ferguson must find a way to save his ship and the lives aboard.

Judith O'Brien says the idea for this story came while "researching" in Irish pubs. If so, she must have had her pubmates in stitches. Judith's fresh writing style and charming, wonderful characters will keep you chuckling right to the last page. The oh-so-American, Maura Finnegan can't believe her good luck when she inherits a classic Irish townhouse and furniture shop, but when she visits her property, she discovers it is derelict and comes with a ghost, a bumbling solicitor, and an arrogant Irishman with ulterior motives.
Book Description
Imaginative and wonderfully gifted, Judith O'Brien has delighted readers and reviewers alike with her time-travel novels. "Romance of any genre doesn't come any better," says Publisher's Weekly. Now she journeys across the sea to Ireland, where a young, thoroughly American woman has inherited an eighteenth-century townhouse, and an unforeseen destiny.
Maura Finnegan is utterly taken with the quaint, romantic nature of her new home on Merrion Square ... as well as the dashing, elegant ghost who lives there. Lingering to solve the mystery surrounding his death, the apparition appeals to Maura for help in his desperate quest, and unknowingly leads her to Donal Byrne -- the extraordinarily handsome man who holds the long-buried secret. Maura's about to discover the compelling history behind her own Irish roots...and a love that transcends the barriers of time.
Customer Reviews:
Pretty good, but if plot holes annoy you , look elsewhere.......2002-12-16
I enjoyed O' Brien's tale of an Irish American woman who inherits an 18th century townhouse and the ghost that inhabits it. I actually shed a few tears at the end, and the humor was refreshing and well- written. The idea of reincarnation and the ability of two souls finally reuniting was sweet. The idea of the Fitz( the ghost) and Kitty( his fiance/ wife) enjoying their brief time together was poignant and hopeful.
The problems with this novel , I think, are it's very slooooow start, and the fact that its plot is riddled with holes. The end is unsatisfactory, because I don't feel like the main character and the ghost have enough time together, nor do they get to say goodbye to one another. The modern villian, Roger, had motivations that weren't fully explained. The dark force that was also in the house was never explained or satisfactorily exorcised.
Anyway, if you like time travel romance, this one was certainly different than most, as far as how the time seperating the lovers is bridged. It has a unique and imaginative, if poorly developed plot, great humor, and some endearing characters. At the end you may feel like youv'e been left hanging.
Anyway, the book was good enough to make me want to look at some of O' Brien's other work.
As the author....well...........2001-09-18
Some of these reviews really bother me, especially the one accusing me of never having been to Ireland (which is where I spent many summers as a child, many more vists as an adult). As for the characters being "stock," each was based on a very real person. In all honesty, I should have a thick skin by now, and I certainly respect opinions of all sorts, but how could one possibly think I wrote such a detailed description of Dublin without having ever been there? And as for ghosts in Ireland, especially in certain Dublin houses....well. There are indeed those of us who know for a fact that my tale was not entirely fiction!
Abysmal. A profound disappointment........1999-08-11
"Maiden Voyage" ended up on my recommedation list from amazon after I purchased Diana Gabaldon's latest novel "Drums of Autumn" . I love historical fiction and intelligently written romance, especially when it involves Ireland, Scotland or England, so I thought I'd give "Maiden Voyage" a try. I opened the novel expecting something similar to Diana Gabaldon's writing; thoroughly researched and eloquently written historical fiction with a healthy dose of romance for good measure. "Maiden Voyage" was a grievous disappointment. Filled with shallow unbelievable characters, a typical rote romance plot, and cloying stereotypes displaying a terrible ignorance of Irish history and culture, I found the book truly painful to wade through. Ms. O'Brien ought to visit Ireland and interact with some Irish citizens before attempting any more novels set there.
If you want an excellent work or romance/ historical fiction, try Diana Gabaldon. Her characters are believable and intelligent, and her history is thoroughly researched.
Don't waist your time reading this one!.......1999-04-12
Well, I hate to be negative but I found Judith O'Brien's Maiden Voyage to be uninspiring. There was no romance; just a quickie between two people that you didn't even think felt anything for each other through the whole book. A ghost that's in love with a sickly, childlike, couch-ridden maiden. The people of Ireland were depicted as strange and the location depressing. The only good part of the book was the pub scenes. Which took up about a page.
It felt like home.......1997-12-30
Having lived in Ireland and abroard, MAIDEN VOYAGE brought back memories of Dublin and her people; and Ireland in general. Judith captured the feeling of the Irish people with her pub sceens.
I do enjoy a GOOD ghost story! It helps us all live in hope.

Women See the World.......2007-09-01
"Maiden Voyages" is a compilation of writings by women travelers dating as far back as the 1700s and as recently as the late 20th century. Now before you start moaning and saying to yourself "boring," think about women traveling anywhere before the last half of the 20th century. Some of the stories are simply amazing considering all that the women had to overcome simply to go where they wanted. And these women went everywhere, places where, even today, any well prepared traveler would still find the journey challenging--arctic regions, vast deserts, out in the bush, or riding the rails like a hobo.
The women whose stories are collected here also faced unique challenges because of their sex: One story that really struck me was of a woman mountaineer who had to go back up the mountain because she forgot her petticoat and couldn't return to "civilization" without it. The stories of the women collected in this book are enchanting, even inebriating with the allure of the road, for anyone to seeks the world beyond her doorstep. There are lots of excerpts from women whose names you will recognize: Margaret Mead, Joan Didion, Edith Wharton, and others. Even if you are not familiar with the traveler's name, her story is sure to hold your interest. Highly recommended for anyone who loves to travel...or just read about it.
Inspiring and enthralling period travelogues.......2007-08-30
More than just a glimpse into casual voyages or personal treks of the past, Maiden Voyages delivers fabulous tales of wit, cunning, and creativity through the words of female "adventurists". Their bravery, insight and release from the social impositions of their lives enrich their stories, whether they move across an equatorial desert or through a barren polar landscape.
Incredible travel stories, incredibly interesting women........1997-03-30
Sitting in the safety and comfort of my living room while reading "Maiden Voyages" made me to feel alternately happy to be home, and then longing to pack a bag, kiss the family goodbye, and take off on an adventure of my own. Presented in chronological order, beginning with the early 1700's, each exerpt is preceded by a brief description of the author. Only more incredible than the journeys themselves are the women who undertook them. I found myself wanting to read not only the complete texts, but also the biographies of the unique women- enough to keep me safely on the couch for a long time
Product Description
Tellos, created by Todd Dezago and Mike Wieringo, is a patchwork world made up of magic and different realms. Todd carries on the great stories with this graphic novel/collection.
In Maiden Voyage, Didier Crisse Crispeels art is stark and detailed as we see how young Serra avoided an arranged marriage and met up with the crew of the Sheva-Nova.
In Clothes Call Thor Badendyck makes a spectacular return to Tellos art with a prequel tale of the humanoid-tiger Koj and his youthful friend, Jerek, shortly before their first adventure in Jeffsport as they meet up with those deadly thieves of the forest, faeries!
Finally, Last Wishes is set with a few illustrations by Mike Wieringo and tells of Serra and her fox-friend Rikks day when they sat looking back over their lives and adventures over a few flagons of mead.
