Lost Antarctica
The bitter cold and three months a year without sunlight make Antarctica virtually uninhabitable for humans. Yet a world of extraordinary wildlife persists in these harsh conditions, including leopard seals, giant squid, 50-foot algae, sea spiders, coral, multicolored sea stars, and giant predatory worms. Now, as temperatures rise, this fragile ecosystem is under attack. In this closely observed account, one of the world's foremost experts on Antarctica gives us a highly original and distinctive look at a world that we're losing.

Descendants of James (Timothy) McClintock and Some Related Families
James (Timothy) McClintock of County Antrim, Ireland and his wife, Eleanor Hamilton, sailed from Larne, Ireland to the Colonies in 1772. They landed in the port at Charleston, South Carolina. They were a part of the group of Presbyterians who settled in the District of Chester on the banks of Rocky Creek, a branch of the Catawba River. They were the parents of five children. Their son, (Rev) Robert McClintock (b.ca1746) in County Antrim, Ireland, emigrated with his parents in 1772. He preached at Rocky Springs, in Laurens Co. and at Concord church in Fairfield Co. He married at the age of 50, Martha (1765-1836) the daughter of John McClintock in 1796. Her mother was Margaret Simpson of Ireland and South Carolina. Includes ten generations of descendants.
A Naturalist Goes Fishing
In the tradition of fishing classics, A Naturalist Goes Fishing combines elements of the triumph between fisher and fish, humor and wit, and a passionate concern for the natural environment. James McClintock takes us to some of the most breathtaking waters the world has to offer while capturing the drama and serendipity in the beloved sport of fishing. We follow him and his fishing buddies and professional guides, as he fishes off the marshy barrier islands of Louisiana, teeming with life but also ravaged by recent disasters like the Deepwater Horizon spill. We travel to the remote waters of New Zealand's Stewart Island, where the commercial fishing industry is fast disappearing; fish for gigantic Antarctic toothfish through a drilled ice hole at McMurdo Station; and scout for spotted bass on Alabama's Cahaba River, which has the highest diversity of fresh water fish in North America. As we take this global journey, we see how sea level rise, erosion, pollution, water acidification, and overfishing each cause damage. This strikingly beautiful narrative is a must read for anglers and nature lovers alike.
