Boat-Building and Boating by D.C. Beard A wonderful book filled with ideas and plans to build simple boats from a log raft to a full-size houseboat. A co-founder of the Boy Scouts, Beard developed a book of boatbuilding instructions designed for boys on the premise that a minimum set of skills be necessary and materials be readily found, because the purpose of building a boat was to get on the water and move from one place to another rather than simply becoming the object of an aesthetic pleasure from creating a wooden artifact. If you've ever thought of "quick-and-dirty" boatbuilding because you had limited building funds but just wanted to get under way, take a look at this book. Paperback only. . . . . $15.99 Learn more!

Banfield, the "Beachcomber of Dunk Island." In his Confessions, the Australian beachcomber who spent his last 25 years on tropical island off the coast of Queensland brings us a detailed account of the birds, insects, animals, plants, people, and sights and sounds that fill up life on a paradise on earth. Australians revere him as one of the early leaders in preservation. His insight into the island's spirit is as reminiscent of James Herriot as it is of Thoreau.

A Farm of Our Own is an honest and intimate account of the attempts of a 'city-boy' and his partner at running a small farm as a hobby. It describes some of the hard lessons learned during that ten-year once-in-a-lifetime experience, taking the author through some of the most harrowing experiences of his life--such as when his pet 'house' cow is diagnosed as having mad cow disease; some of the most amusing, like the antics of a sex-mad drake and ram; some of the most frustrating, such as having to burn two acres of soggy grass that should have been hay; and some of the most satisfying and rewarding. In its small way, the book aims to build bridges and promote understanding between the city dweller and country folk. Read more about this wonderful book!

White Shadows in the South Seas by Frederick O'Brien O'Brien visited the Marquesas in the early 1900s, shortly after the death of Gauguin, and wrote a fascinating book about the beauty of the isles and the unintentional devastation of a way of life. His work echoes many modern concerns about the effect of "civilization" on the quality of life for human beings.
