<p>"Origins of Sea Terms" differs from existing glossaries and dictionaries. It emphasizes word roots and earliest meanings, making it an indispensable companion to standard maritime dictionaries. The author steers his way through a potentially dry subject with a witty flair that will please as well as inform. The mariner's language is almost universal in its usage and its sources. An idle curiosity about the derivation of the term ""peajacket"" led John G. Rogers to devour ancient and modern texts in his six-year search for the origins of sea terms. While light-hearted in its presentation, ORIGINS OF SEA TERMS is serious in intent. It contains 1,248 entries pertaining to life on board ship, hulls and rigging, ship handling, sea and weather conditions, and naval and technical terms. ORIGINS OF SEA TERMS is volume XI in Mystic Seaport Museum's American Maritime Library."</p>

In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. Genesis 1:1 Thus the heavens and the earth were finished and all the host of them. Genesis 2:1 And I saw an angel standing in the sun; and he cried with a loud voice, saying to all the fowls that fly in the midst of heaven, Come and gather yourselves together unto the supper of the great God. That ye may eat the flesh of kings, and the flesh of captains, and the flesh of mighty men, and the flesh of horses, and of them that sit on them, and the flesh of all men, both free and bond, both small and great. And the remnant were slain with the sword of him that sat upon the horse, which sword proceeded out of his mouth, and all the fowls were filled with their flesh. Revelation 19:17-18 and 21 With these few words of these three chapters, God introduces His creative works, places them at the beginning of all things, and establishes His rights to them as their Creator. Then, with only a few more words, He discloses how they end. This becomes the basis for John Rogers's new book, The Gentile Valley of Bones. From the book of Genesis through the book of Revelation, follow the author on a journey of enlightenment. Learn of God's creation of the earth, of his covenant with those he created, and of the great love he bears for his creation, even to the end of all things.
