The story of Pomquest Island's last lighthkeeping family by Ruth Edgett
A Watch in the Night chronicles the struggles of one Nova Scotia family to survive on a tiny windswept island without running water, electricity, or reliable communication with the mainland. For thirty-six years, George and Ruth Millar tended the Pomquet Island light, raised generations of livestock, brought up their 6 children, and lived through violent storms and other weather disaters. A Watch in the Night is not a dry account of lightkeeping life, but rather a tale in which faith, ingenuity, and tenderness triumph over adversity. # 99900

Alone Against the Sea and Other True Adventures

$14.95

by Jon Bowermaster
Readers will feel the bite of icy waters as Jon Bowermaster careens down the most dangerous sections of the Yangtze River - so treacherous the Chinese government has closed it to boaters - and descends for the first time ever Chile's Futaleafu, one of the most beautiful and dangerous rivers in the world. Bowermaster stands witness to some of the greatest expeditions of our time, forming friendships with polar man Will Steger, first to the North Pole and across Antarctica by dogsled, and photographer/raconteur Peter Beard, an outsized character still living on the edge of wild. He sits on the deck with French sailors as they prepare to race around the world single-handedly, each, of them knowing that few will finish, and some will not come back alive. Listen in as he is conned on the streets of Baja by a tall-tale-telling fishing guide. This book is an important addition to the adventurer's library. # 91424
