"The Shelburne Line was the only Underground escape line to successfully evade the Gestapo. Allied airmen, rescued after being shot down, were taken to Paris by Resistance members where—after intense interrogation—they received new names, identity cards, clothing, training and special passes for the forbidden coastal zone in Brittany. They were hidden in "safe houses" of loyal French, waiting until a moonless night for evacuation to England via the Royal Navy's motor gunboat, MGB 503. Sixty years later, there remain WWII stories most of us have not yet heard. The Shelburne Escape Line, which is one of the most poignant, includes Luftwaffe jets attacking Allied bombers, air crews trapped behind enemy lines, secret agents, and audacious midnight rescues. Revealed here are extraordinary examples of ingenuity and quiet heroism by French civilians caught up in helping fight a ruthless enemy." Major General John D. Altenburgh Jr. United States Army, Retired

Exploring The Salish Sea with the Pen &amp; Ink drawings of Margy Gates. This work celebrates the unique and rich beauty of the Salish Sea and its environs. It depicts fauna and flora iconic to the area, as well as plants and animals seen only infrequently. The artist is not Coast Salish, but her depictions of native arts and crafts attempt to interpret the spirit of the tribal and First Nations artists’ and artisans’ creations. The Salish Sea (SAY-lish) is a designation for the inland sea of Washington State in the United States and its neighbor to the north, the Canadian province of British Columbia, on the Northwest Coast of North America. The term Salish honors the Coast Salish peoples who lived in the area long before the arrival of European and American explorers and settlers. To describe the beauties of this region, will, on some future occasion, be a very grateful task to the pen of a skillful panegyrist. The serenity of the climate, the innumerable pleasing landscapes, and the abundant fertility that unassisted nature puts forth, require only to be enriched by the industry of man with villages, mansions, cottages, and other buildings, to render it the most lovely country that can be imagined. -George Vancouver, 1792

Common Dragonflies and Damselflies of the Pacific Coast is a field guide to the 60 most common West Coast species of these beautiful and fascinating insects. This book contains a full color, two-page spread on each of the described species. Each spread includes a life-size photo, field identification marks, a range map, flight season chart, and a discussion of habitat and behavior. In addition to the individual spreads, the book contains a description of dragonfly and damselfly anatomy, reproduction, ecology, and tips for observation and photography. Dr. Walker also discusses and illustrates the newly described Splash-Dunk / Spin-Dry behavior, in which dragonflies plunge into a lake or pond to clean themselves, and then dry off by spinning head-over-heels at 1,000 rpm--the fastest known rotational motion of any animal. An easy-to-use guide for the recreational viewer, this book also provides enough information to satisfy an advanced observer.

Born in 1925, Andrew Jurkowski enjoyed a peaceful boyhood on his grandfather's farm in western Poland until the Nazi invasion of 1939. For the next six years, he and his family endured the occupation, determined not only to survive, but to fight back with small acts of defiance. Instead of bringing relief, the end of the war brought new danger, as Poland was taken over by Russian-led Communists. Andrew, then a young man of twenty, was sentenced to a labor camp. He was forced to choose between death and a dangerous escape to the west. This is his eyewitness account of his experiences in rural Poland before, during, and after World War II, until his daring escape from a Communist labor camp to the West in 1946. This book will appeal to readers looking for eye-witness accounts of life in rural Poland, civilian life under the Nazis and the early days of Communist Poland, and a refugee's story of his escape and emigration.
