Sinopsis

**Embark on a captivating journey through the rich maritime history of Maine, from its earliest roots to the present day.**

In this comprehensive and engaging book, readers will delve into the diverse aspects of Maine's maritime heritage, exploring the stories of its mariners, shipbuilders, and fishermen. From the arrival of the first Native Americans to the rise of the fishing industry and the challenges of modern times, the sea has played a vital role in shaping the lives and livelihoods of Mainers.

Discover the tales of exploration, commerce, and resilience that have unfolded along Maine's rugged coastline. Learn about the European explorers who first set foot on these shores, and the coastal settlements that sprang up in their wake. Trace the growth of the fishing industry, which became the backbone of Maine's economy for centuries, and witness the rise of coastal trade and commerce, which connected Maine to markets around the world.

No history of Maine's maritime heritage would be complete without recounting the tales of shipwrecks and maritime disasters that have occurred off the coast of Maine. These stories of tragedy and heroism remind us of the dangers that mariners have faced for centuries.

The book also sheds light on Maine's rich maritime heritage, showcasing the preservation of historic ships, maritime museums and exhibits, and coastal lighthouses. Celebrate the festivals and events that honor Maine's maritime past, and explore the efforts to protect and preserve this heritage for future generations.

As we look to the future, we examine the challenges and opportunities facing Maine's maritime industry. Consider the role of the Navy and Coast Guard in Maine, the growth of recreational boating and tourism, and the importance of marine science and research. Address the environmental challenges that threaten Maine's coastal ecosystems, and explore the ways in which Mainers are working to protect and preserve this precious resource.

Through captivating storytelling and vivid imagery, this book brings to life the people, places, and events that have shaped Maine's maritime history. It is a celebration of the resilience and ingenuity of Mainers, who have always looked to the sea as a source of livelihood, inspiration, and adventure.

    Much is expected of a merfolk princess, and being a lesbian is not one of them. 
      
    Laela’s adventurous spirit and curiosity — sexual and otherwise — takes her far from the palace and prying eyes to explore the shipwrecks on the ocean floor. Out there, she has the privacy to experience her first time with another mermaid, and she believes her secret is safe — until her lover betrays her, selling their secret to the highest bidder. 
      
    On the brink of being forced into a marriage to a merman, Laela takes one last exploration voyage to a freshly sunk vessel. The first on the scene, Laela has the pick of the spoils — including a beautiful human woman, preserved alive in the hull of the ship. 
      
    After experiencing true bliss, will Laela be able to return to the palace, or will her magically inclined mentor be able to help her pass as a human on the surface?

    In virtually all fields of human endeavor Athens was so much at the forefront of dynamism and innovation that the products of its most brilliant minds remain not only influential but entirely relevant to this day. In the field of medicine, the great physician Hippocrates not only advanced the practical knowledge of human anatomy and care-giving but changed the entire face of the medical profession. The great philosophers of Athens, men like Aristotle, Socrates, and Plato, interrogated themselves with startling complexity about the nature of good and evil, questioned the existence of divinity, advocated intelligent design, and went so far as to argue that all life was composed of infinitesimal particles. Great architects and sculptors such as Phidias produced works of art of such breathtaking realism and startling dynamism that they later formed the driving force behind the resurgence of sculpture during the Renaissance and served as masters to artists such as Michelangelo, Bernini, and Donatello. And this does not take into account the host of equally brilliant mathematicians, natural philosophers, historians, astronomers and politicians that the city’s great schools nurtured and produced. 
    The modern world has the ancient Romans to thank for the origins of many modern technologies, conveniences, and ideas, from running water, baths, and republican style government to roads. Similarly, by the 3rd century BCE, the Romans were prodigious monument builders, so much so that the memory of the great Roman Republic and the Roman Empire continues to exist within a cityscape of stone. Rome’s public spaces were filled with statues, arches, temples, and many other varieties of monumental images, and each of these structures had its own civic or religious function. At the same time, most were embedded with stories, messages, and symbolism so that they also tended to function as propaganda.

    From one of the leading grief therapists, this compassionate and accessible guide to grieving offers a new framework for understanding and navigating loss.An intimate guide to grieving that offers hope and healing within loss from one of the nation’s top grief therapists.    Conscious Grieving is a book for anyone seeking guidance and support after loss. Renowned grief therapist Claire Bidwell Smith combines her deeply personal experience of loss with her long career spent working with thousands of people to introduce a new approach to grief, one that promotes hope and even transformation.   What does it mean to grieve consciously? Most of the time, when we lose someone we love, it feels like grief is just happening to us. We feel out of control, and overwhelmed. Claire reminds us that while loss is something that inevitably happens to all of us, how we choose to grieve is up to us. When we can consciously engage with our grief, rather than avoiding it, we can access profound pathways to healing.  Presented in a series of thoughtful, brief vignettes that don’t overwhelm the reader, Conscious Grieving offers a new framework for each stage of grief: Entering, Engaging, Surrendering, and Transforming. Entering – staying present and taking care of ourselves as we navigate the shock and upheaval of a new loss.  Engaging – navigating that first year after a loss by staying in tune with our needs as more complicated feelings of depression, guilt or anger surface. Surrendering – facing the changes to our identity and who we are becoming in the face of loss. Transforming – through ritual, honor, hope, and grace, and learning to carry our grief with intention so that we can continue to grow, heal, and thrive.  Grief asks a lot from us. But the ability to grieve is a birthright. We grieve throughout our lifetimes. We grieve the deaths of loved ones yes, but also moves, divorce, illness, injustice, time lost, changes in the world and healing from these losses requires that we evaluate everything we ever considered meaningful. Healing means making our lives worth the pain we endure when we lose someone we love. And transforming through grief is an opportunity afforded to all.
