The Best Christmas

"Christmas is coming!" Erkki sings as he runs home on a cold, dark December day. Why does thinking of Christmas keep him warm and excited? He can barely wait for Chirstmas Eve, with its candles in the window and fragrant tree at home, the children's pieces given at the church, and Matti, oldest of the ten brotheres and sisters, surprising them with presents that he buys. Ten-year-old Erkki is happy until he reaches the Seppala home and hears the bad news: the stone barge Matti is on at sea is missing. What has happened to Matti? Worry and sadness fill their hearts. How can they find the spirit of Christmas that means so much to them? As Erkki worries about missing Matti and that Christmas spirit, he suddenly thinks of something he can do for his family. But will he be able to keep everything he does a secret until Christmas Eve?

The United States Virgin Islands have always been a place where currents meet and jostle. Jutting headlands accelerate the stream, deep bays harbor backwaters, the tides create eddies-and hurricanes can drive in disruptive seas from any direction-but in the end, the turbulence subsides, the various currents mingle and all become part of the broad, deep westward flow, inexorably driven by the earth's slow turn. While that wonderful material is available to all with eyes to see, it is Steve's particular talent that he sees to the heart of the archipelago and captures the quintessence of its beauty.The clarity of his focus and the colors of his work twine toghether in often breathtaking ways.

No history of the modern world-from the Industrial Revolution, to the invention of the steamship, the beginning of flight, to the Model "A" Ford-would be complete without the inclusion of the important role tugboats and their crews have played. These pages feature tugs of varing sizes, and describe the many fascinating aspects of the tugboat industry. This book is the culmination of visits to 30 United States seaports on all three coasts and Lake Michigan, including eight of our top twenty in terms of tonnage handled. The tug crew members to whom we talked have contributed significantly to our understanding of the American tugboat community.Our world and its global economy could not function without tugboats and their crews. Tugboats 'n Towlines will tell you some of their stories.

Tugboats 'n Towlines

Salinger, Warren

Mollyockett ,the last of her tribe, the Pequawkets tells her own compelling story. For more than eighty years Mollyockett traveled the woodland trails and waterways of New England, experiencing the terror and ambiguity of the French and Indian War. Her neighbors valued her skills as a healer, hunter and storyteller. 
Highlights include: living with Wampanoags in Plymouth when Governor Shirley promised Mollyockett's father and other Abenaki men safekeeping for their women and children while the men helped the English fight the French; witnessing Rogers' brutal raid on Odanak ( a markedly different perspective from Kenneth Roberts' version in Northwest Passage;) and tricking a greedy priest into releasing her first husband's soul from purgatory. She also describes her long and ultimately stormy relationship with Sabattis, a famous Indian guide; her struggle to reconcile Native American spirituality, Catholicism and the Protestant faith of her white neighbors; saving the life of a friend targeted for murder by a renegade Indian as part of the Last Indian Raid in 1781; her curse bestowed on a dam site when the miller refused her shelter from a storm; and her medical skill in saving the life of the infant Hannibal Hamlin, who later became Governor of Maine and Abraham Lincoln's Vice President. 
As her people became more and more marginalized, Mollyockett created a unique place for herself in the white man's world without losing her faith or her character. This fictionalized reconstruction of Mollyockett's life and times includes maps and illustrations.
