Описание:
From Midwest Book Review Perhaps the icon of excess, cruise ships carry many strange diversions for those with money to burn. Ship for Brains looks into...the twists and turns of politics that often occur when one lives on a ship and what can be experienced upon it. With a grand dose of humor and a good dose of memoir, Ship for Brains is a fine pick, not to be overlooked.
Book of the Year, finalist-Foreword Magazine Bronze-London Book Festival Finalist-New York Book Festival Finalist-San Francisco Book Festival Returning with his award-winning wit and delightfully candid narrative voice, Brian brings us the first and only expos of art auctioneering on the mighty liners, where the tenet of "what happens at sea, stays at sea" has always been observed - until now. We are transported to the sea as our likable guide vividly shares his misadventures, triumphs, flirtations, and, above all, his amusing and astute insights into human nature. In the Cruise Confidential series Brian David Bruns spills the dirt-or in this case, the dirty water-on those romantic, fun-filled vacations at sea. His hilarious chronicle of the years he spent working on cruise ships takes readers down into the areas where the crew works and lives, leaving readers gasping with laughter as they're assaulted nonstop with events that range from the absurd to the utterly bizarre. From Booklist Although this isn't an expos of cruise lines so much as a lighthearted adventure, readers planning a cruise will glean lots of useful information, and cruise veterans may find themselves looking at their familiar turf in a new, slightly suspicious way. "This man has seen it all " - Deborah Roberts, ABC 20/20 "Bruns' prose ... proves his steady and deliberate writing voice." - Writer's Digest "The real party is going on in the crew's quarters." - USA Today "I found it absolutely hysterical " - Peter Greenberg, Today Show "Part Love Boat, part Mutiny on the Bounty, Cruise Confidential does for cruising what Animal House did for higher education." - New York Times Bestseller J. Maarten Troost "Cruise Confidential is a deliciously addictive read, a blistering kiss-and-tell about the dysfunctional life working on cruise ships." - Doug Lansky, Travel Channel "These hilarious misadventures at sea will shock and delight any buffet-ready cruise traveler." - Jen Leo, author of Sand in my Bra "The funniest travel book I've read in years." - Peter Mandel, author of My Ocean Liner "This is a really entertaining true tale by a guy who struggles through the bizarre world of cruise ship employment. Bruns paints a clear picture of 'how the sausage is made'." - San Francisco Chronicle "I couldn't put it down." - Chicago Sun-Times "Cruise Confidential is a juicy tell-all. The crew deals with the 'sweatshop' conditions by indulging in massive amounts of alcohol and sex." - Cleveland Plain Dealer "Bruns doesn't hold back when it comes to discussing his experience of working on cruise ships." - Thomas Cook Magazine (UK) "Witty and self-deprecating Bruns] has a flair for dialogue, and his book is chock full of wacky characters..." - Blogcritics Magazine "With a grand dose of humor and a good dose of memoir, Ship for Brains is a fine pick, not to be overlooked." - Midwest Book Review

Описание: Climbing Palestine is the first comprehensive guidebook to rock climbing in the West Bank, detailing over 300 climbing routes at 9 different areas. The book also describes how to travel to and within Palestine, where to stay, what to do on rest days from climbing and where to eat the most delicious local food.
The U.S.-Mexican border is far more than a line that separates two countries. A winding path of nearly 2,000 miles from the Pacific Ocean to the Gulf of Mexico, it is history, commerce, and culture. In recent years, however, attitudes about border crossings and border issues have hardened as has immigration policy.
A source of growing anxiety over illegal immigration, national security, and safety, the border has become a symbol of political cataclysm over immigration law and enforcement, the future of DACA, the increasingly harsh treatment of refugees and others who attempt to cross without authorization, and the future of U.S. policy. This book traces the history of the border and its people, from the creation of the border line to explosive issues surrounding immigration and the future of the United States as a nation of diverse cultures and races.
The who, what, when, where, why, and how of worship
Preaching, fellowship, sacraments, and prayer continue to serve as the model of worship. The forms have changed, but these four elements, worship's basic grammar, remain constant despite the richly diverse practices of Christian communities. Grounded and beginning with Scripture and the priesthood of all believers, Bruns introduces students to the theological and practical fundamentals of planning and leading worship. Although the perspective is broad, this introduction draws heavily from the Wesleyan/Methodist perspective.
Topics include: theology of ordination; theology of sacred space; the order of worship; the church year; sacraments; music; and the practicalities of leading and planning worship.
