Robert McCloskey is one of the most beloved American children s authors of all time. His eight books, including Make Way for Ducklings, One Morning in Maine, Time of Wonder and Burt Dow Deep-Water Man are 20th century icons, winning two Caldecott Medals and two Caldecott Honors for Books In Jane McCloskey s previous book about her father, Robert McCloskey: A Private Life in Words and Pictures she told the story of her family in her words and her father s pictures. But very few people knew that Robert Bob McCloskey was an amazingly prolific painter and illustrator, not only in his iconic but he also painted and sketched wherever he was: on his island home in Maine, in St. Thomas, Mexico, New York and Europe. Few people have seen much of the art in this book. Bob continually painted and drew for his own pleasure and the pleasure of his family. Some themes will be familiar to readers of his books: his daughters, Penobscot Bay in Maine, boats, seagulls, island life. Some will be less familiar: sensitive portraits of youthful friends, lively studies of Greece and Europe, affectionate sketches of pets, luminous figures of men, women and children in Mexico and the Caribbean. Robert McCloskey: Art and Illustration brings fresh insights to the artist s work and life."

Bob Fiske's “life story is an inspiration to all Americans, not just those directly involved in the private or public practice of law.”-– Senator George J. Mitchell Bob Fiske is one of the best-known and most respected lawyers of the past half century. In private practice at Davis Polk &amp; Wardwell and as United States Attorney for the Southern District of New York, he has been involved in some of the highest profile cases of our time. Not only was he called on to act in the politically charged Whitewater affair including the death (suicide or murder?) of the Clinton aide Vincent Foster, but also the prosecution of drug kingpin Nicky Barnes (“Mr. Untouchable”), the Three Mile Island nuclear disaster, the USFL vs. NFL, the most contentious America's Cup ever, and the financial swindler Bernie Madoff. This is Bob Fiske's legal autobiography. It's an insider's look at some of the most fascinating and important cases of our time, complete with telling anecdotes, colorful characters and legal cliff-hangers.

Sponsored by the New York Foundation on the Arts, Meet Miss Subways is an artistic, delightful voyeuristic and even historically important look at the famous subway advertising program. Each month for thirty-five years, a young woman was selected as “Miss Subways” and her picture and brief biography appeared in thousands of subways and busses. She became an instant celebrity! The author and photographer have tracked down forty Miss Subways (many of whom aspired to careers in show business or modeling) and the women tell their life story and open their treasure trove of memorabilia, from come-hither publicity stills, to innocent cheesecake, to sophisticated modeling photos. Part history, part high art and low camp, Meet Miss Subways is an absorbing read and visual treat

This is not your parents' Art and Science of Sails, written by Tom Whidden and Michael Levitt and published in 1990 by St. Martin's Press. The first edition sold more than 20,000 copies. The Second Revised Edition 2016 -- now in its second printing -- is published by North Sails Group, LLC and written by the same duo. What a difference 25 years makes! Today there are one-piece sails made over a 3D mold in the shape they will assume in the wind. Sail plans have radically evolved to fractional rigs, fat-head mains, and non-overlapping jibs. That is true for racing boats as well as cruising. Thus, ninety percent of the text is new, as are almost all of the more than 100 photographs and technical illustrations. The authors focus on circulation as they did in the first edition, but now come at it from a different direction. And for the first time anywhere, they attempt to quantify its effects. Where the wind speeds up and why as it passes over a sail plan, and where it slows down and why. Circulation theory is familiar to aerodynamicists for at least 100 years and is argued about by sailors at least since 1973, when the late Arvel Gentry loosed his theories on the sailing world. Gentry was an aerodynamicist at Boeing by day and a sailor on the weekends. And the theories used to explain why airplanes fly were at odds with the theories of why sailboats sail to weather and what the slot actually does. Whidden, CEO of North Marine Group, which includes North Sails, and Levitt, who has written 14 books, utilize explanations like circulation to answer such diverse questions as: • Why fractional rigs, fat-head mains, and non-overlapping jibs have come to predominate. • Why and how leech twist can be a sail-trimmer's best friend. • Why a yacht designer positions the mast, keel, and rudder to create some weather helm. • Why the safe-leeward position is advantageous relative to the entire fleet, not just to the boat you tacked beneath and forward of. • Why a mainsail's efficiency is improved with added upper roach, beyond the value of the extra area. • Why the miracle of upwind sailing is not that there is so much lift but so little drag. • Why, when sailing upwind, the main is always trimmed to a tighter angle than the jib. • What a polar diagram tells us or why tacking downwind is almost always faster than sailing directly to a mark. There is also an in-depth look at the wonders of material utilization―not just materials. Indeed there have been no new fibers accepted into sailmaking for over 20 years. It is how they are used that makes the difference. In the last three chapters, the authors drill down on mainsails, headsails, and downwind asymmetric and symmetric spinnakers. And in this edition for the first time they address downwind aerodynamics. The book celebrates the complexity and beauty of sails in words and pictures and of the whole rarefied sport of sailing.

Charlie Doane is among the most infectious prose-poets of today's marine literature. For more than twenty years his keen eye, trenchant wit, and off-center perspective have been delighting us in a voice that could never be confused for any other. In The Sea Is Not Full Charlie takes us to sea on several memorable voyages―some bound for the bottom, some for the heart of darkness, and some for the ages. Populated by an entertaining cast of wharf-rats, hucksters, even a real-deal guru or two, his stories are page-turners that'll surely stir the wanderlust in you.
