The Crossing : The Curious Story of the First Man to Swim the English Channel
Headline UK 2001. Reprint. Medium Trade Paperback. Good. Medium Trade Paperback. 243 pages. PUBLISHING DETAILS: Headline UK 2001. Reprint. CONDITION: This book is in good condition. More specifically: Covers have light creasing. Corners of covers are moderately bumped. Spine is uncreased. . Pages are reasonably tanned and lightly creased. ABOUT THIS BOOK: Swimming the English Channel was once thought to be a feat as impossible as reaching the summit of Everest flying through the air in a plane or walking on the moon. But in August 1875 an obscure ship captain named Matthew Webb became a world hero. He was the first to accomplish what fewer than six hundred people have done since-swim the twenty-one miles of ice-cold jellyfish-infested water from Dover to Calais. The Crossing is the richly detailed story of Webb's swim. Fueled by infusions of cod-liver oil beer coffee and brandy Webb competed for the honor of being first with a swimmer who sported the latest Victorian invention: a thirty-five-pound rubber "survival suit" containing ten days' worth of food and water a headlamp for night paddling an axe for killing swordfish and books to ward off boredom. Even more intriguing is what happened to Webb after he made history. Addicted to fame he hired himself out for ever more desperate swimming feats in pursuit of the money and applause he craved-and died tragically in a crazed attempt to traverse the boiling rapids and quarter-mile whirlpool of the Niagara River.

Phil Murray
'Gelignite' Jack Murray : An Aussie Larrikin Legend
New Holland Australia 2017. First Edition. Trade Paperback. Near Fine. Trade Paperback. 358 pages. PUBLISHING DETAILS: New Holland Australia 2017. First Edition. CONDITION: This book is in near fine condition. More specifically: Covers have no creasing. Corners of covers are lightly bumped. Spine is uncreased. . Pages are clean and unmarked and in excellent condition. ABOUT THIS BOOK: At the mere mention of the name lsquo;Gelignitersquo; Jack Murray any Australian from the Baby Boomer era or older canrsquo;t help but to crack a smile. Murray was best known as the rally driver who in 1954 won the REDEX Round Australia Reliability Trial without the loss of a single point; but Jackrsquo;s sporting interests and achievements were eclectic and far-ranging. In his own words at different times throughout his life he was lsquo;engaged in various sports with various successesrsquo;: cycling; VFL schoolboy football; stock car racing; hill climbing motor races; circuit car racing; car endurance events; Australian and NSW Grand Prix racing; international and Australian rally driving; wrestling; boxing; crocodile kangaroo and buffalo hunting; ocean boat racing and waterskiingmdash;to name most but not all. Oh yesmdash;Jack even raced a bathtub once plug in. Jack Murray died in 1983. Encounters with those who met him knew him and loved him now grow fewer and fewer as the years pass and the Reliability Trials of the 1950s drift into Australian history and folklore. Jackrsquo;s personal and nonpublic life showing the man behind the derring-do has never been fully explored or written about. Here for the first time is Murrayrsquo;s full story as told by his son Phil Murray. Son of the legendary lsquo;Gelignitersquo; Jack Murray Phil has inherited his fatherrsquo;s genes when it comes to adventure seeking personal challenges and embracing all life has to offer. Just as his father did Phil believes life is best lived following some pretty simple instructions: lsquo;Donrsquo;t take yourself too seriouslyrsquo;. Thus Phil is the perfect person to display to the world a man whom many thought they knew but who was much more complicated and talented than his racing exploits would lead us to believe.

ABOUT THIS BOOK: The actress Myrna Loy now 81 looks back on her career as a Hollywood star who appeared in over 125 movies including "The Best Years of Our Lives" and "The Thin Man". She begins her story in Montana and tells how she came to Hollywood where her talent for dancing and her personal charm soon made her very popular; Jimmy Stewart declared "There ought to be a law against any man who doesn't marry Myrna Loy". She tells of the friendships she made with many of her leading men and with women such as Joan Crawford whom she met as a youngster in a chorus line and Eleanor Roosevelt whose President husband had a well-known crush on Myrna. Myrna Loy was not only an actress but also a woman who had political interests championing the UN and Democratic presidential candidates from Truman onwards and was even for a time a "Washington wife".
