This book depicts the simple elements of struggle of human endurance, loyalty, and sacrifice. These elements are forcibly and vividly translated in London's attempt to emphasize his biological-, sociological-, economical-, and environmental determinism where man has little or no control to circumvent the brutal forces of nature for survival. Further, a by-product of his deterministic shaping of London's views was his outlook on racial superiority. According to London, the Anglo-Saxon race is superior to all other races and is destined to be the master race of the world. Undoubtedly, his views had been colored by his mother's racism, as well as by his extensive reading of Kipling (whom he entertained and admired with a strength amounting to devotion) and Du Chaillu, in particular The Viking Age.

In this key civil rights and social justice book for young readers, Scipio Africanus Jones—a self-taught attorney who was born enslaved—leads a momentous series of court cases to save twelve Black men who'd been unjustly sentenced to death. In October 1919, a group of Black sharecroppers met at a church in an Arkansas village to organize a union. Bullets rained down on the meeting from outside. Many were killed by a white mob, and others were rounded up and arrested. Twelve of the sharecroppers were hastily tried and sentenced to death. Up stepped Scipio Africanus Jones, a self-taught lawyer who'd been born enslaved. Could he save the men's lives and set them free? Through their in-depth research and consultation with legal experts, award-winning nonfiction authors Sandra and Rich Wallace examine the complex proceedings and an unsung African American early civil rights hero.

Against All Odds is the true story of Alan Nebauer's remarkable experiences in the 1994-95 BOC Around the World Race for single-handed sailors. Sailing as a Class II competitor aboard the 50-foot (15.2 m) Newcastle Australia, Alan Nebauer had to endure incredible difficulties in a race that lasted almost eight months and covered 27,000 nautical miles. This book recounts the author's rescue of a fellow English competitor, his experiences of being dismasted and rounding Cape Horn with a jury rig, and the loss of his rudder north of the Falkland Islands, sailing with a steering oar to Uruguay. Beyond this, it is a testament to Alan's extraordinary courage and determination in the face of overwhelming odds, and to his outstanding seamanship for which he deservedly won two awards. "Australian sailors, including Don McIntyre, David Adams, and others, have stamped an incredible imprint on the rich legacy of the classic BOC Challenge single-handed yacht race around the world. None, however, have faced the daunting obstacles Alan Nebauer confronted and overcame in his remarkable Newcastle Australia campaign. His first-hand account of his star-crossed voyage is a lesson in perseverance and, ultimately, a tale of triumph." Herb McCormick Executive Editor, Cruising World BOC Media Relations Manager "Sailing around Cape Horn under jury rig is like climbing Mount Everest in thongs. Alan's seamanship and tenacity is tremendous." David Adams Winner of Class II of the 1994-95 BOC Challenge and competitor in 1990-91 1995 Australian Yachtsman of the Year "Alan Nebauer's love of the sea and his determination not to be defeated by the challenges he faced in the world's most gruelling yacht race is positively contagious. The result is a page-turning thriller that those with an ounce of salt in their veins cannot afford to miss." Alan Lucas Circumnavigator and author
