Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. Neuware - What drives a young man to leave everything behind and chase the unknown In 1937, John Boock was a boy from Depression-era Minnesota with barely a hundred dollars to his name and an unshakable hunger to see the world. While his peers settled into predictable lives, John bought a one-way ticket…to adventure, hitchhiking across America, working his passage across the Atlantic on a freighter, and cycling through a Europe on the brink of war. From the pastoral beauty of the English countryside to the chilling realities of Nazi Germany, from Mark Twain's 'most charming place' in Switzerland to becoming the self-proclaimed 'Roman Dumpster King' after being robbed and jailed in Italy, John's journey was anything but ordinary. When his money ran out and all seemed lost, he made the desperate decision to stow away on a luxury liner, launching a chain of events that would test every ounce of courage he possessed. But the greatest adventure was still to come. A chance meeting in wartime Washington would introduce him to Peggy, a spirited Texas girl, sparking a love story that would span seven seas and fifty-seven years of marriage. Heed the Call is more than a memoir of wanderlust and war-it's a testament to the generation that crossed oceans, faced down tyranny, and built lives of quiet dignity in the aftermath. Told with warmth, wit, and unflinching honesty, this is the story of one man's extraordinary journey and the steadfast love that became his true north. For readers who cherish stories of adventure, fortitude, and the kind of love that endures across a lifetime, this is a journey you won't want to miss.

Ajouter au paniersoft cover. Etat : very good. v.p. 1921 &c. Included are: Report of the Royal Commission on the Matter of Uniform Rail Gauge. 1921. Uniform Rail Gauge - Statement . by the Secretary to the Royal Commission.1921. Patent of Boock's 'Improvement in Rail Car Undercarriage .' accepted March 1936. Manuscript and typescript provisional… specifications. Deed of Assignment of Patent. Aust. Official Journal of Patents . 9th April 1936. Report From the Select Committee on the Advisableness of Constructing Three Railway Trucks to Demonstrate the Practicability of the Boock Railway Break-of-Gauge Device Together with Proceedings . Minutes of Evidence and Appendices. May 1939. (2 copies and some separate sections which are proofs, all annotated). Proof of the N.S.W. Parliamentary Debates . Thursday, 1 June 1939, with debate on the device. A couple of leaflets, photo of Boock & one of his wooden model; a quantity of clippings and various correspondence. The Boock device, with concerted backing by Joseph Hamlet and, judging by the clippings, a fair amount of public support (Sir George Julius is quoted as giving it the nod) was seriously considered by the government, as the substantial report makes obvious, but amidst much heat and accusations of political subterfuge the committee recommended against it. As usual the story is not so simple. There is a 1927 draft agreement to assign most of the rights to someone in exchange for backing and formal agreements made with Joseph Hamlet in 1936 signing over four fifths of the invention in exchange for backing. There is also a shaky and bitter 1941 letter to a Mr Elland in which Boock says that he never received a penny from Hamlet and that Hamlet without his consent or knowledge was selling shares in the invention. Boock died soon after this but his heirs seem to have doggedly pursued various governments for some years. A few letters indicate some foreign interest (or uninterest) but there is no evidence of further development. *This item might cost more to post than quoted by abe.
