From Duncansby head to the Solway Firth / Mike Smylie "Since Britain joined the European Economic Community in the mid- 1970s, the fishing industry along our coasts has been under pressure from overfishing. In this book, Mike Smylie takes us on a tour from Duncansby Head to the Solway Firth. Here, small crofting communities sit on the fringe of the sea, hidden among the lochs and islands that indent Scotland's beautiful west coast and using what may well be the prettiest fishing boats in Britain. Although fishing here was mostly subsistence level and did not approach the scale of the industry on the east coast, there were large harbours at Stornoway, Castle Bay on Barra, Ullapool, Mallaig, Tarbet and Campbeltown. Mike Smylie shows us harbours, large and small, along with the boats and the communities that depended on them, from the herring fishery of Stornoway to salmon netting on the Solway Firth."--Provided by the publisher. 2013 • BOOK • 1 copy available. 639.2(411)

I set my watch... : the story of a family in Greenwich and beyond /Celia Smith. In this book the author traces the history of her maternal grandmother's family, who lived in Greenwich for many years. When the author's mother died, a quantity of diaries, letters and manuscripts were discovered, which led her to investigate further. The family had always believed that a distant ancestor had come to England with George I and the author explores this further. Other family members had connections with people such as Robert Browning, Charles Dickens and members of the Royal family. As well as telling the stories of her ancestors, the author provides information about life in and around Greenwich up until 1923. There are many colour photographs and an illustration showing part of the 1867 Ordnance Survey map of Greenwich. 2013. • BOOK • 1 copy available. 92STIKEMAN

Arctic / edited by Michael Juul Holm, Mathias Ussing Seeberg and Poul Erik Tojner. "The Arctic encompasses a basis narrative of our culture and its use of images and constructs, myths and mise-en-scenes. Louisiana's exhibition and this catalogue unfold the dream of the far North as image, cultural ideal and scientific field. From the Romantic Age to present-day contemporary art, the Arctic plays a role as a place where everything terminates in endless whiteness and something new can begin. An untouched landscape - terrifying and dangerous. Once a territory to be conquered, the Arctic today could well mark the perimeter of human power."--Back cover. 2013. • BOOK • 1 copy available. 910.4(987)(083.83)
