black wave

Saturday, February 28th, 2009

Black Wave is an exciting tale; readers know from the start that the family survives, but what makes for deep engagement is learning the parallel story of Captain Pond and his crew and passengers. [...] Successful businessman John Silverwood and his wife, Jean, both experienced sailors, decided the time was right to give their four children a taste of thrilling life on the high seas. [...] Gradually, in the crucible of the sea, a stronger, more closely knit unit was forged. [1]

In 2003, after two years at sea, the 55-foot catamaran sailed by the Silverwoods, a suburban California family that chucked it all to sail around the world, hit a reef off the South Pacific island of Scilly (now known as Manuae), putting the life of Jean and John and their four children (ages five to 16) in peril. [...] Join Amazon Prime and ship Two-Day for free and Overnight for $3.99. [2]

It could be said that the Silverwoods’ account of hitting a coral reef off the Scilly Islands is a repeat of history, because their 50-foot catamaran, the Emerald Jane, did exactly what the tall sailing ship Julia Ann had done in 1855. [...] I looked over the scene of our wrecked life and I smiled–a crazy smile for sure–and I looked through the dark at the mad beauty of it.” [1]

The saga from John’s perspective lacks emotion, but his ability to interweave the story of the Julia Anne (a sailing ship that hit the same reef in 1855) gives an eye-opening account of how much and how little sea travel has changed in 150 years and accentuates the heroism of this family that overcame an extraordinary ordeal. [2]

And indeed their journey aboard the fifty-five-foot catamaran Emerald Jane would have many extraordinary and profound moments, whether it was the peaceful late-night watches John enjoyed under the stunning celestial sky or the elation shared by the whole family at the sight of blissful pods of dolphin and migrating tortoises. [...] A Random House hardcover (Reviews, Apr. 14).(June) [...] The Silverwoods’ courage and survival skills got their ultimate test when the Emerald Jane crashed into a hidden reef in the remote South Pacific, destroying the boat and severely damaging John’s leg.

paul harvey the rest of the story

Saturday, February 28th, 2009

The radio show Paul Harvey News and Comment was first broadcast nationally in 1951 and continued into the 21st century, making Harvey one of the longest-lasting and best-known voices on American radio. [1]

Paul Harvey Aurandt (September 4, 1918 ‘ February 28, 2009), better known as Paul Harvey, was an American radio broadcaster for the ABC Radio Networks. [2]

Paul Harvey is the most listened-to radio personality in America. [...] If you are a publisher or author and hold the digital rights to a book, you can sell a digital version of it in our Kindle Store. [3]

Think of a tag as a keyword or label you consider is strongly related to this product. [...] Publisher: learn how customers can search inside this book. [4]

On April 1, 1951 the ABC Radio Network debuted Paul Harvey News and Comment “Commentary and analysis of Paul Harvey each weekday at 12 Noon”. [...] On May 10, 1976, ABC Radio Networks premiered The Rest of the Story as a separate series which provided endless surprises as Harvey dug into stories behind the stories of famous events and people. [...] During the 1940s, the famed Stern’s The Colgate Sports Reel and newsreel programs used many of the techniques later used by Harvey, including the style of delivery and the use of phrases such as Reel Two and Reel Three to denote segments of the broadcast ‘ much like Harvey’s Page Two and Page Three. [2]

From present-day shockers to historical puzzlers, Paul Harvey’s The Rest Of The Story reveals the untold story behind some of history’s strangest little-known facts. [4]

Harvey added The Rest of the Story as a tagline to in-depth feature stories in 1946. [...] He broadcasts News and Comment on weekday mornings and mid-days, and at noon on Saturdays, as well as his famous The Rest of the Story segments. [1]

The American founding father who kept his wife locked in the cellar. [4]

Harvey’s program — an idiosyncratic mix of headlines, comments, quips and advertisements, all voiced by Harvey — is syndicated to hundreds of radio stations around the country daily. [1]

The discovery of many of Stern’s old programs on transcription discs have led many to believe that much of Harvey’s broadcasting style is based on Stern’s work, including most notably the Rest of the Story feature, which is a direct parallel to a technique used weekly by Stern. [2]
