On old Cape Cod

Ferdinand C. Lane

Maison d'édition: Good Press

Synopsis

In On Old Cape Cod, Ferdinand C. Lane offers a reflective and richly textured portrait of Cape Cod's past, weaving local history, anecdote, and topographical observation into a work that stands between regional chronicle and literary evocation. The book dwells on the peninsula's villages, seafaring life, customs, and inherited memories, preserving a world shaped by fishing, commerce, and the Atlantic environment. Lane's style is measured, descriptive, and antiquarian in the best sense, attentive to place-names, traditions, and the quiet dignity of everyday life. In literary context, the work belongs to the New England regional tradition that sought to record distinctive local cultures before modernization effaced them. Lane writes as a careful observer deeply invested in the historical identity of Cape Cod. Though less widely known than some contemporaries, he emerges here as a custodian of communal memory, drawing on local knowledge, historical curiosity, and an evident affection for the region. Such a book likely grew from firsthand familiarity with Cape Cod's people and landscapes, as well as from the late nineteenth- and early twentieth-century impulse to preserve regional heritage in print. This volume is especially recommended to readers interested in New England history, maritime culture, and American regional writing. It rewards not only the historian but also anyone drawn to lyrical, place-centered prose and to the subtle archaeology of local memory.

Mindful Investing - Right Focus...

Jonathan K. DeYoe, Robert Seawright

Accessible Strategies for New or Well-Established Investors 
 
 
 
Jonathan DeYoe invested a small sum in stocks at a young age—and then watched his money grow. Now a financial adviser and longtime meditator, he understands that stress plagues many would-be investors, and he has seen countless people make investment decisions driven by fear and wishful thinking. That mindset leads to costly mistakes, such as chasing "hot" stocks, buying when prices are high and selling when low, and racking up transaction fees and taxes in the process. These mistakes are preventable by cultivating a state of nonjudgmental awareness and practicing mindfulness, which allows investors to see life from a larger perspective and make financial decisions according to their long-term goals. With simple, evidence-based methods that don't rely on gimmicks or constant portfolio maintenance, Mindful Investing takes away the anxiety to help you reach financial prosperity and personal well-being.
