Birds of Nova Scotia has been a highly cherished publication since it first came into print in 1961. To preserve the originality of the earlier editions, this posthumous revision by the Nova Scotia Bird Society and the Nova Scotia Museum has been a long and careful labour. New information on sightings of rare birds and changes of status bring the text in line with current data, without modifying the special qualities of Robie Tuft's personal style.  Colour illustrations by two distinguished nature artists, Roger Tory Peterson, author of Field Guide to the Birds (Houghton Mifflin) and John Crosby and line drawings by Jjohn Henry Dick will ensure accurate identification of species.  This book has a place beside the binoculars, near every winter feeding station, in the summer cottage, aboard ship and also in school libraries and classrooms.

<p>This is the story of two rival skippers, Abe Young and Mose Griffin, and their efforts to get the best of one another in the days when trading schooners were the lifeline of small settlements along the Nova Scotia coast. Although told as fiction, it is based on the personal experience and reminiscences of the author who has pursued a sea-faring career all his life, as did his father before him. We learn something of the life in these coastal communities, their recreation and their commerce, and get a real tang of the sea in descriptions of life aboard the Western Belle and Lucy B. as they carry their cargo to such places as Sheet Harbour, Canso, Arichat and the Magdalen Islands.</p>
