Synopsis Inner Tube by : Hob Broun

DIVDIVAfter a family tragedy, a man chases consolation—or is it oblivion?—by traveling through some seedy locales of place and spirit/divDIV Early on in Hob Broun’s second novel, the mother of the unnamed narrator, a failed actress, commits suicide by putting her head through a television. That fact, together with our hero’s desire for his ex-girlfriend’s older sister, prompts a radical departure as he quits his job cataloging old television shows and sets off on a westward journey. Pursuing solace in unlikely places, he embarks on a string of just-as-unlikely romances, including ones with a motel maid and an archaeology professor. But can anything distract him from the painful emptiness within? In the desert, finally free of society, a self-reckoning awaits./divDIV Bracing in its vision, Inner Tube is a fearless and often bitingly funny novel about what happens when our civilized veneers are shed./div/div

Synopsis The Fleet Type Submarine Periscope Manual by : United States Navy

The periscope is the eye of the submarine. It allows observation of the sea and the sky above, while the submarine remains submerged. It is also a crucial piece of combat equipment, featuring a stadimeter to estimate the range and course angle of a target. Originally printed by the U.S. Navy, this Periscope Manual explains the operation and design of the periscope, and includes descriptions of its complex optical and mechanical details. It also contains maintenance and repair information. It¿s a wonderful reference for anyone interested in the science of optics, for the modeler or museum docent, or anyone who ever wondered, ¿How the heck does that work?¿
