"Close to the Wind is the story of one man's quest for peace and justice. His compass has always been set true - from his boyhood exile from Nazi Germany to his military service in this country, to his work on peace and justice issues in countries and communities around the world. His sails were always properly set, his hands steady at the helm and his wake smooth." Chet Atkins, former US Congressman, Massachusetts' Fifth District. This is a book about "where nothing is impossible, the possible will always get done."

<p>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.</p>
