Synopsis

Down East Maine is well known for its breathtaking scenery and art museums. However, much of the history in the traditional mining and fishing area of Rockland and St. George remains untold.  Hanson Gregory from Clam Cove invented the donut. Mary Brown Patten sailed a clipper around Cape Horn. Captain Albert Keller was shipwrecked on Easter Island and Effie Canning of Rockland composed the lullaby "Rock a Bye Baby." Captain Charles Holbrook of Tenants Harbor and his ship, the Hattie Dunn, fell victim to a German U-boat in the Atlantic.  Local author Jane Merrill uncovers the forgotten stories and personalities that bring this unique area's history into focus.

    A Journey to the Western Islands...

    In 1773, literary giant Samuel Johnson set off with his friend James Boswell on a tour of Scotland's remote Highlands and Western Isles. What followed was a vivid travelogue capturing the landscapes, people, and customs of a region on the brink of change. With wit, insight, and curiosity, Johnson reflects on everything from ancient clan traditions to the decline of the Gaelic language—offering a rare glimpse into 18th-century Scotland through the eyes of one of England's greatest minds.
    
    Part travel diary, part cultural critique, A Journey to the Western Isles of Scotland is both a historical snapshot and a thoughtful meditation on identity, society, and the passage of time.

    It’s the biggest conundrum of language learning: 
    How can you become an amazing Italian speaker when you’re short on time? It’s easy: 5 Minute Italian short stories for beginners, that is. Let’s face it: We all have limited free time. So, how can you study Italian when you have only small shards of time available? Look no further: If you’re short on time, 5 Minute Italian short stories for Beginners will help you make the most of it. 
    The Benefits of 5 Minute Italian Short Stories for Beginners 
    Since short stories are, by nature, short, you can use them to squeeze a lot of Italian learning into a relatively small span of time. 
    Reading short stories is a great way to get quick, informal doses of Italian language practice. 
    Easy short stories in Italian offer exposure to simple, natural sentence structure. 
    How to Learn Italian with Easy Short Stories 
    Since these stories are often pretty straightforward, you’ll need a simple plan for learning effectively with them. To get the most out of your short story, I suggest this three-step approach: 
    Read the story for the gist, not the details. Focus on trying to understand the main ideas of the story: the characters, the major plot developments and the setting. 
    Read it again, but this time, do a careful read. Highlight or underline unknown words, phrases or grammatical constructions that are unfamiliar to you. Once you finish this read, translate all the unfamiliar words and phrases and write them down in a notebook or on flashcards to help you remember them later. 
    Use the translations to read the story one final time. This allows you to understand the text fully and have quick access to the translations and explanations.

    Mykonos is a place of contradictions. Billionaires dancing next to backpackers. Sunset romance followed by sunrise regret. A simple beach day that somehow becomes a three-day adventure. A calm breeze that turns into a wind that takes your wig, your dignity, and sometimes your patience. 
    In this audiobook, you will meet real people of the island. The ones who stay all year. The ones who return every summer without knowing why. The ones who swear they will never come back and then find themselves at the airport again three months later. 
    Inside, you will hear true stories, scandals that sound like fiction, cultural notes that explain why things are the way they are, and a sense of humor that comes from surviving Mykonos and still loving it anyway. This is a guide, a confession, a love letter, and a warning all at once. 
    Listen if you want to understand the island behind the glamour. Listen if you want to laugh and maybe recognize yourself in the stories. Listen if you are ready for the truth. 
    Because no matter what happens, Mykonos always wins.

    The heart-stopping memoir, soon to be a major motion picture starring Shailene Woodley and Sam Claflin, and directed by Baltasar Kormákur (Everest). 
    Young and in love, their lives ahead of them, Tami Oldham and her fiancé Richard Sharp set sail from Tahiti under brilliant blue skies, with Tami’s hometown of San Diego as their ultimate destination. But the two free spirits and avid sailors couldn’t anticipate that less than two weeks into their voyage, they would sail directly into one of the most catastrophic hurricanes in recorded history. They found themselves battling pounding rain, waves the size of skyscrapers, and 140 knot winds. Richard tethered himself to the boat and sent Tami below to safety, and then all went eerily quiet. Hours later, Tami awakened to find the boat in ruins, and Richard nowhere in sight. 
    Adrift is the story of Tami’s miraculous forty-one-day journey to safety on a ravaged boat with no motor and no masts, and with little hope for rescue. It’s a tale of love and survival on the high seas-- an unforgettable story about resilience of the human spirit, and the transcendent power of love.
