The Good Lord Hates a Coward - by Capt. Joseph J. Kinneary, Ph.D.
154 pages. Soft cover. Nonfiction. From the book cover: "A hearing involving a United States Coast Guard administrative action is convened at a criminal courtroom in Manhattan. Veteran merchant mariner captain, Joseph K., has been charged with Misconduct for failing to urinate according to a narrow regulation for a random drug test and for failing to properly document his nonurinator condition. The associated court transcripts and legal briefs serve as an introduction into modern day maritime culture. Personal journals, vessel log books, and navigation work books are used to examine related topics, including social interactions aboard modern merchant vessels and technical aspects of shipboard life. The theme of modern man and the sea is interwoven throughout the book and serves as a background for a bizarre run-in with the drug testing establishment over federally mandated random drug testing." Every holder of a Coast Guard license is subject to the random drug tests. This means that what Capt. Kinneary went through, every licensed riverman can go through. Usually same-day shipping! List Price: $24.95 Wholesale: $14.97 Your Cost: $10.00 back to top |
