<p>Fiction. TANAKI ON THE SHORE is a novel by Bill Smith. Biologist David Tanaki arrives at a research station on Maryland's Eastern Shore to study the movement and navigation of species in the Chesapeake. Taken up by the Yamaguchi sisters, who run their family's fishing fleet, he is enticed into the culture of his ancestors. Haunted by a lover and colleague whose intuitive methods sprung out of the very mysteries of animal instincts, Tanaki's own meticulous research casts him into a net of political intrigue. ON THE SHORE is about the bridges between insight and action, the past and the present, as Tanaki navigates between two women, an environmental lawyer, and a Native American activist, who are among his allies in the struggle against a corporate plan to develop and destroy the wetlands. Through this conflict he confronts the migration of his family to America and the nature of his own identity.</p>

<p>Cultural Writing. Children's Literature. A sturdy tree shelters small animals during a storm on Christmas Eve, allowing peace and joy to reign as the tempest clears. Filled with beautiful illustrations of birds, animals, water, and sky, THE SHELTERING CEDAR is a gift of nature, illuminating and delightful. "To say that THE SHELTERING CEDAR is a lovely book doesn't do it justice. The spare, evocative text and warm, detailed watercolors bespeak Anne Runyon's love for Ocracoke Island. She knows this special place well, has studied its intricately balanced ecosystem with all her senses and now takes the rest of us there with all her heart. The quiet story of a coastal tree sheltering wildlife from a Christmas Eve storm will be a bedtime favorite for toddlers, while the author's explanatory note and activities will make this a fun addition to school libraries and classrooms"--Eileen Heyes.</p>
