Author Michelle Houts and illustrator Bagram Ibatoulline explore the magic of one of the seaside’s greatest wonders and the bonds that link us through time. One summer, a boy named Thomas visits his grandmother at her seaside cottage. She gives him a magnifying glass that once belonged to his grandfather, and with it Thomas explores the beach, turning grains of sand into rocks and dark clamshells into swirling mazes of black, gray, and white. When his grandmother shows him a piece of sea glass, Thomas is transfixed. That night he dreams of an old shipyard and the breaking of a bottle. Could the very piece of sea glass on his nightstand have come from that bottle? For the rest of the summer, he searches for more sea glass and hopes to have dreams that will reveal more of the sea’s secrets. A stunning ode to stories and the seaside, this picture book invites readers to imagine the ocean of possibility that lives in every small or forgotten treasure.

As the owner of one of the world's most elaborate sea glass collections, Mary Beth Beuke gets to talk about these prized ocean gems on a daily basis. Unfortunately, with each passing day, sea glass becomes more and more difficult to find, making the hunt more of a challenge to the seeker—especially one with limited experience in sea glass hunting. There are several reasons why the hunt is so important to the sea glass seeker. Some find their Zen moments in the solitude and beauty of the hunt. Some collect to add color to their lives. The history, mystery, and discovery of sea glass are also strong forces that draw collectors to shorelines around the world, looking for these pieces of physically and chemically weathered frosted glass. Whatever your reason for wanting to learn about and start your own collection of sea glass, the window for doing so is closing as pieces are becoming more elusive due to a growth in sea glass popularity and a decrease in recent glass bottle production. In The Ultimate Guide to Sea Glass: Beach Comber’s Edition, Beuke provides information that will help first-time seekers start new collections and veteran hunters learn more about their current sets. Take this manual with you as you search for your own collection and make notes about what you find along the way.

Lighthouses have always unsettled and attracted in equal measure, highlighting the triumphs and failures in humanity's battle with the forces of nature. Taking as its heroes the lighthouses themselves, Sentinels of the Sea describes the engineering genius that allowed their construction on even the smallest of rock outcrops and the innovations that made the lights so powerful and reliable. Intricate, elegant architectural plans and elevations, and evocative period drawings and photographs showcase the innovative designs and technologies behind fifty historic lighthouses built around the world from the 17th to the 20th century. R.G. Grant's engaging and authoritative text chronicles the incredible feats of engineering and endurance that brought these iconic, isolated towers into being, the advances in lens technology that made the lights so effective, and the everyday routines of the lighthouse keepers and the heroic rescues that some performed. Packed with extraordinary stories of human endeavour, desperate shipwrecks, builders defying the elements and heroic sea rescues, the book also reveals the isolation and vulnerability of the dedicated lighthouse keepers.

OCRACOKE ISLAND, tucked away on North Carolina's Outer Banks, is one of the true gems of America's coastlines.In Ocracoke Lighthouse and The Old Salts, award-winning historian Ellen Fulcher Cloud shares the story of both the iconic lighthouse and the men who worked Ocracoke's waters for generations.

Cloud unearths original details of the 1823 construction, as well as maintenance and logbook records kept by the keepers of the lighthouse. Then she tells her personal story and that of a few other public-spirited friends who engaged in the rollicking "Great Window Heist" to keep the historic lighthouse from being unalterably damaged by government officials.Part 2, first published as Old Salt, introduces the men of the sea ¿men who made their living working the water and risked their lives every day in doing so. From 1715, when pilots first were assigned to Ocracoke, until the 1960s, almost every man on the island ¿went down to the sea.¿ Cloud lets us know these seafaring men, pilots, fishermen and shrimpers, men of war, ship builders, surfmen of the U.S. Life-Saving Service, and even her own father.LONG ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE to find, the two books comprising Ocracoke Lighthouse and The Old Salts are presented in an enhanced edition with more pages and photographs, additional material, computer-enhanced photo resolution and a keepsake hardcover binding.
