Lifeboat [Feb 12, 1980] White, James

Legendary filmmaker Alfred Hitchcock (North by Northwest, Psycho, Rope) directed this suspenseful World War II thriller, a remarkable story of human survival. After their ship is sunk in the Atlantic by Germans, eight people are stranded in a lifeboat, among them a glamorous journalist, a tough seaman, a nurse and an injured sailor. Their problems are further compounded when they pick up a ninth passenger - the Nazi captain from the U-boat that torpedoed them. With its powerful interplay of susp

You can't be innocent...the computer found you guilty. Your bank or broker will never tell you, but every transaction you conduct through a US bank or broker--deposits, withdrawals, credit card, currency conversion--creates a secret financial profile of YOU. The USA PATRIOT Act and similar laws actually require banks, brokers, car dealerships, jewelers, and many other types of businesses to spy on you. And none of these businesses are allowed to tell you they're doing it. If the computer software these businesses MUST use to spy on you triggers a "guilty account" alert, you'll never know until your assets are frozen or confiscated. The law makes it a crime to tell you if you're under suspicion. One mistake—-withdrawing too much cash, writing a check to the "wrong" person, etc.—-and you could be the next victim. Could your seemingly innocent account activity actually indicate that you’re laundering money? Or even worse, that you're a terrorist? The answer, sadly, is "yes." But you CAN fight back. It's perfectly legal to create international "lifeboats" of wealth and privacy that are practically invulnerable to snooping or confiscation. And The Lifeboat Strategy shows you exactly what you need to do to counter today's threats to wealth and privacy.

This the first book on the distinguished past, hazardous present, and uncertain future of an organization whose roots extend back nearly 200 years. Each year, the Coast Guard's powerful motorized lifeboats and other small water craft respond to over 37,000 calls for assistance and help in saving more than 4,000 people in imminent danger. Despite the fact that the small boat stations are the very symbol of rescue upon the water, the public knows little about what takes place in them and about the professionals who put their own lives at risk in this way every day. A retired member of the Coast Guard, Dennis Noble traveled from unit to unit capturing the stories of their brave crews, riding the waves with the lifeboat sailors who accepted him as one of their own. Movingly he tells of witnessing the tragic deaths of three Coast Guardsmen on a rescue mission - deaths he believes did not have to occur. Lifeboat Sailors bears witness to the courage of a unique breed of seaman and sounds an alarm for the rescue of a cherished American institution.

Lifeboats occupy a particular place in people's hearts, as unpaid volunteers regularly take to their boats—often in extremely adverse conditions—to rescue others from the sea. The stories that go with lifeboats and their crews are those of courage, sacrifice, community, and the coastline. No matter if one is on holiday by the coast, or living inland, we are always aware of the work these brave crews do, and also aware of the tremendous affection the RNLI has throughout the whole of the British Isles. An island race appreciates those who risk their lives continually to help those endangered at sea. May-Day! May-Day! showcases the work, over many years, that the RNLI crews have undertaken, using the technology and training of their time to go out into dangerous waters to rescue people. It contains a great deal of useful/technical information to give the reader all the background information to the science of saving lives at sea. The RNLI is close to the hearts of the British public, who want to know more about their work today, but also historically how they have evolved. With archive material, first-person interviews of station commanders, rescuers, etc. plus scientific illustrations and maps, this book will be the first to bring together the history and technology, people and crews, triumphs and disasters of the RNLI together in one book.
