  A history of combat in Scottish waters—from the Iron Age to the Cold War—and the changes in the technology and tactics of naval warfare.   Scotland’s long coastline runs from the waters of Galloway and the Solway, through the Irish Sea to the long sea lochs and myriad islands of the Celtic west, around grim Cape Wrath, the coast of Caithness, Pentland Firth and the Orkneys, eastward down to the Moray Firth, the eastern seaboard, to the Forth and the sentinel of the Bass Rock. It is an ancient strand redolent with history. Sea battles have been fought in its lee from the time of Agricola to the Atlantic convoys.   In Blood on the Wave, John Sadler embarks on a pilgrimage around Scotland’s rugged and stunning coastline, to explore the fascinating history that has occurred in its waters. Beautifully illustrated throughout with photographs and line drawings, the narrative also describes developments in ship building technique and design, developments in naval gunnery with a look at coastal defenses. From the long-oared Norse galleys that swept down through the isles and the sea lochs to Somerled’s birlinns and nyvaigs contesting with those of Godred of Man in a moonlit clash of spears, many of the fiercest battles in Scottish history have been fought at sea.   Examining an array of skirmishes from the Wars of Independence to the Napoleonic Wars, the scuttling of the Imperial German Navy at Scapa Flow to the lurking threat of Second World War U-boats and nuclear submarines hunting for Soviet spy ships, John Sadler has created a brilliant, insightful and unique portrait of the Scottish war at sea.

  Published in New Orleans in 1885, one of the great classics of Creole cuisine, believed to be the first Creole cookbook in print. 
   
  Although La Cuisine Creole was printed anonymously in 1885, Lafcadio Hearn is generally accepted as the author of this Creole culinary classic. In his introduction, Hearn describes the intriguing origin of this unique cuisine, explaining that, “it partakes of the nature of its birthplace—New Orleans—which is cosmopolitan in its nature, blending the characteristics of the American, French, Spanish, Italian, West Indian and Mexican . . . There are also obvious influences from Native Americans, African Americans, and others in the American melting pot.” Among the “many original recipes and other valuable ones heretofore unpublished” included in the book are Gombo file, Bouille-abaisse, Courtbouillon, Jambolaya, Salade a la Russe, Bisque of Gray-fish a la Creole, Pousse Café, Café brule, Okra Gombo, Grenouilles Frites, Pain Perdu, Sangaree, and a marvelous collection of fish, seafood, and game recipes. There are also instructions on “The Service of Wine” and a large number of recipes for drinks and cocktails.  
   
  This edition of La Cuisine Creole by Lafcadio Hearn was reproduced by permission from the volume in the collection of the American Antiquarian Society, Worcester, Massachusetts, founded in 1812.

Through relatable parallels, readers are challenged to reconsider their perceptions of dogs and become better pet owners, ultimately leading to a better understanding of their role in their dog's life.“An engaging, thought provoking, and sometimes humorous look at parenting our dogs. Jessica Eden O’Neill compares the many challenges of raising children and living life with those of caring for our canine companions. Jessica recounts countless, real-life events as she draws parallels with the struggles of dogs in our care. Her sometimes colourful and emotive language is a reminder of the realities we often face. This is not a “how to have a perfectly obedient dog” sort of book; it’s a philosophy and a guide to help us be responsible, kind, empathetic dog parents and to help our dogs be happy.”—Shay Kelly, Canine Behaviour Consultant and author of Canine Enrichment: The Book Your Dog Needs You to Read, Dog Training & Behaviour: A Guide for Everyone, and Puppy Nurture: Raising Your Puppy with Love“O’Neill’s new book cleverly draws parallels between her human home and work life, and the lives of dogs. Through the sharing of personal anecdotes and colorful stories, she is able to convey the intricate, complex, and rewarding relationship we have with our dogs. Her humour is delightful, as she lends a strong voice to “those yelling from the rooftops,” working hard to change the way we think about dogs, “helping owners to reframe their understanding of what dog training should look like.” O’Ne
