The Wish To Live
The book describes in an entertaining way the life of the author from his childhood, with the antics of his age; his connection and stay in the Chilean Navy, the adventures he lived as a sailor on the Quiriquina Island, the naval base of Punta Arenas, and Valparaiso; his detention in the Quinta normal Santiago de Chile, in the jails and concentration camps, the torments he had to endure and the several times he was one step away from death, accused unjustly of sedition and mutiny in the trial of sailors constitutionalists, who opposed the military coup of September 11, 1973, although he rejected the seditious plans of the Navy officially, was not part of the group and his opposition was pure...
The Peace of Blue
The Earth’s surface is mostly oceans, the human body is approximately 60% water, and the human imagination has been captivated by this life-giving, life-sustaining liquid from time immemorial. According to Carl Hiaasen, Bill Belleville “writes gorgeously and straight from the heart. In The Peace of Blue, the documentarian and nature writer guides you on a lyrical journey to the natural places in Florida and the Caribbean that have been forged and shaped by water. He poetically underscores the vitality of this most essential substance in our lives by showing the many ways in which water-driven landscapes nurture plants, wildlife—and the human spirit. Experience the thrill of traveling t...
Reef Fish Spawning Aggregations: Biology, Research and Management
Reef fish spawning aggregations, ranging from small groups to many tens of thousands of individuals, are spectacular but poorly known natural phenomena whereby fish assemble at specific times and locations to spawn. For some species these large groups may be the only form of reproduction, the high fish numbers briefly giving a false impression of stability and abundance—an ‘illusion of plenty’. They are often a focus for intensive seasonal fishing because of their predictability and because many important commercial fishes form them. Highly vulnerable to overexploitation, many aggregations and their associated fisheries, have disappeared or are in decline. Few are effectively managed o...
Deep Cuba
Geography, politics, and other factors have allowed Cuba to preserve the region's most pristine coast and offshore marine environment. Deep Cuba recounts Bill Belleville's month-long journey around the island in the company of American and Cuban marine biologists and a Discovery Channel film crew. It was the first, and so far only, United States submersible research expedition in Cuban waters. From coral reefs to mangrove swamps to a submerged volcanic mountain, the voyagers encountered sublimely wild places unseen before by anyone from the United States—or even by many Cubans. Belleville conveys the tempo of the scientists' workday, during which the routine gathering of data and specimens...
