Produktinformationen zu „Perils! (ePub)“
PERILS! is actually two books in one. One book is a collection of close calls and scary stories that actually happened to two adventuresome author-travelers. Danger lurked on the river behind the Taj Mahal! A knife-bearing Sikh came to the rescue. Catching a subway train was almost fatal during a monsoon in Japan. The intrepid couple caught a late-night jetliner, which broke in two as it landed. Seven additional stories about surprising adventures and close calls make for an exciting read!
The second book is a manual for survival and management of serious, emergency problems during travel or at home, such as fainting, choking, and chest painwritten by one of the authors (JF) who happens, also, to be a cardiologist.
The authors suggest a new, intriguing word, anticimoxie. Following its precepts, the reader will think ahead and will be more likely to arrive safe at hometo tell more scary stories!

Autoren-Porträt von Carolyn, Jack Fleming
Carolyn Fleming is the author of a novel, Journey Proud, set in Georgia in 1933; a cookbook, Pensacola Holidays, published in two editions; and Democracy Means Sharing, a collection of essays about the American jury system and about serving as the foreman of a federal grand jury during America’s bicentennial. (The judge sent it to all the US Supreme Court members where it probably became the first book so accredited that contained a few recipes by jury members.) Jack Fleming, a cardiologist for over four decades, is the author of A Primer on Common Functional Disorders about psychosomatic illnesses and coeditor of a textbook on nuclear cardiology, as well as many cardiology research articles and essays. A singer, he has written many ballads and other lyrics, including “Down on the Natchez Trace” and “Hitch Up Your Hippocampus.”
The authors’ first collaboration was the book and lyrics with composer Allen Pote for the full-length musical Seaplane about early flight. (For this, the trio received honorary citizenship in Hammondsport, New York, the birthplace of Glenn Curtiss, one of the heroes of Seaplane.) The musical played at the Kennedy Center. Fleming-Pote followed this with a musical-whimsical for children entitled Imagination, inspired by the life of Robert Louis Stevenson in the South Pacific. Excerpts have played in Samoa where the authors made four visits. Other musicals include Bahia de Panzacola and Doctors with H’Art.
The Flemings received jointly the doctorate of humane letters by the University of West Florida. They also received the Adelia Rosasco Soule Award for Literary Distinction and a special medal by the City of Pensacola-Escambia County.
The result of the collaboration that the authors cherish most is their family.
