Lake Erie Technical Wreck Diving Guide
Erik Petkovic’s Lake Erie Technical Wreck Diving Guide is packed with tales of maritime disasters: sailing ships and steamers which foundered, succumbed to storms, collided or were engulfed in flames. There are ships which sank more than once, were involved in wars, slave escapes and catastrophic collisions, plus daring stories of deep salvage, valuable cargoes, submarines, experimental engineering and unidentified wrecks. The guide brings to life the rediscovered history of the ships, passengers and crews. Then there are the dives themselves. Some of the wrecks are remarkably intact for their age. Amongst the features which can be seen are wooden ships’ wheels, standing masts, rudders, ...
Post Mortems on Enemy Submarines
The Office of Naval Intelligence (ONI) prepared nearly fifty booklets, or serials, of intelligence gathered during the course of anti-submarine operations throughout multiple theaters in World War Two. The intelligence booklets were prepared from material obtained through the capture or sinking of enemy submarines, interrogations of prisoners, diaries obtained from the dead, and other methods. These booklets were considered confidential and classified and secret at the time of publication in order to safeguard sources. This information has since been declassified. Through extensive research these serials have been unarchived and packaged together for the first time. This book is a compilatio...

Diving the Thistlegorm
Diving the Thistlegorm is a unique in-depth look at one of the world’s best-loved shipwrecks, the World War II British Merchant Navy steamship. In this highly visual guide, cutting edge photographic methods enable views of the famous wreck and its fascinating cargo which were previously impossible.

Often referred to as an underwater museum, the wreck fascinates visitors for dive...
Shipwreck Monograph Series
The first book in a new shipwreck series entitled The Shipwreck Monograph Series. Each book is loaded with spectacular underwater photography and is accompanied by rare, archival, and historical images. The John J. Boland, Jr. was a British built ship, owned and operated by a Canadian firm, which sank in American waters. The Boland is now one of the most spectacular and popular wreck sites in Lake Erie. The Boland was caught in an unpredicted, freak storm for which Lake Erie is so notorious. Once the Boland got into trouble, she only had four minutes before she was lost to Lake Erie's October waters. What may be a worse tragedy than the four sailors who lost their lives, is that this accident was completely avoidable. Relive the harrowing and tragic tales of those who perished and of those who survived the Boland's final trek across Lake Erie.
Self Portrait in Green
'NDiaye is a hypnotic storyteller with an unflinching understanding of the rock-bottom reality of most people's life.' New York Times ' One of France's most exciting prose stylists.' The Guardian. Obsessed by her encounters with the mysterious green women, and haunted by the Garonne River, a nameless narrator seeks them out in La Roele, Paris, Marseille, and Ouagadougou. Each encounter reveals different aspects of the women; real or imagined, dead or alive, seductive or suicidal, driving the narrator deeper into her obsession, in this unsettling exploration of identity, memory and paranoia. Self Portrait in Green is the multi-prize winning, Marie NDiaye's brilliant subversion of the memoir. Written in diary entries, with lyrical prose and dreamlike imagery, we start with and return to the river, which mirrors the narrative by posing more questions than it answers.

The Mosquito Bite Author
Originally published in 2011, The Mosquito Bite Author is the seventh novel by the acclaimed Turkish author Barış Bıçakçı. It follows the daily life of an aspiring novelist, Cemil, in the months after he submits his manuscript to a publisher in Istanbul. Living in an unremarkable apartment complex in the outskirts of Ankara, Cemil spends his days going on walks, cooking for his wife, repairing leaks in his neighbor’s bathroom, and having elaborate imaginary conversations in his head with his potential editor about the meaning of life and art. Uncertain of whether his manuscript will be accepted, Cemil wavers between thoughtful meditations on the origin of the universe and the trajectory of political literature in Turkey, panic over his own worth as a writer, and incredulity toward the objects that make up his quiet world in the Ankara suburbs.
