  Chesapeake oysters are part of the legacy of the area, history on the half-shell. Hear of their beginning (foot-long bivalves!) through cultivation today. 
   
   
   
  The eastern oyster, the humble bivalve and delicious treat, are the living bones of the Chesapeake, as well as the ecological and historical lifeblood of the region. When colonists first sailed these impossibly abundant shores, they described massive shoals of foot-long oysters but the bottomless appetite of the Gilded Age and great fleets of skipjacks took their toll. Disease, environmental pressures and overconsumption decimated the population by the end of the twentieth century. While Virginia turned to bottom-leasing, passionate debate continues in Maryland among scientists and oystermen whether aquaculture or wild harvesting is the better way forward. Today, boutique oyster farming in the Bay is sustainably meeting the culinary demand of a new generation of connoisseurs. With careful research and interviews with experts, author Kate Livie presents this dynamic story and a glimpse of what the future may hold.

  Dilapidated buildings. Classic American cars. Rum and cigars. Fidel Castro and Che Guevara. Aspects of Cuba, to be sure, but superficial ones at best. Beneath these clichés live the Cuban people, each with a fascinating story that reveals the challenges of surviving day to day in this country, how Cubans innovatively and creatively meet those challenges, and how they refuse to allow circumstances to colour their outlook on life. Within this book are vignettes of some of these people, presented as word-picture diptychs, each photograph accompanied by a compelling story, each story with an illustrative photograph. The reader will discover that while some Cubans live in dirty, dark, tenement-like conditions, others find the resources to improve and maintain their homes, and that those with the means keeps houses as clean as any on the planet. The reader will also learn how Cuban mechanics adapt and improvise to keep those wonderful old cars running, despite the difficulties of obtaining repair parts, and about the uniquely Cuban construct of resolver through which they survive and even prosper. But most importantly, it will be seen that Cubans have an indomitable spirit that allows them to remain happy and optimistic, despite the adversities of conquest and occupation, the interference of foreign governments, and the oppression of their own government for over five hundred years.

  Edinburgh

  Robert Louis Stevenson

  Edinburgh by Robert Louis Stevenson is a lyrical and deeply affectionate portrait of one of Europe's most storied cities. Blending memoir, history, and keen observation, Stevenson captures the spirit of Edinburgh not merely as a place, but as a living character shaped by time, memory, and imagination.
  
  Through vivid prose and reflective insight, Stevenson walks the reader through the city's winding streets, looming castles, shadowed closes, and dramatic contrasts between the Old Town and the New. Each scene is infused with personal recollection and literary sensitivity, revealing how Edinburgh's architecture, climate, and social life mold the character of those who dwell within it.
  
  More than a travel sketch, Edinburgh is a meditation on identity and belonging. Stevenson explores the city's dual nature—ancient and modern, austere and romantic—while reflecting on his own formative years spent among its stones and stories. History, legend, and everyday life intertwine, offering readers a richly textured understanding of Scotland's capital.
  
  Written with elegance, nostalgia, and quiet wit, Edinburgh stands as both a love letter to a city and a masterclass in literary observation. It will appeal to readers who enjoy classic travel writing, cultural essays, and evocative portrayals of place that linger long after the final page.
  
  A timeless work, this book invites readers to see Edinburgh through the eyes of one of its most celebrated literary sons.
