      By Wicher, E. K
       2021., EKWicherBooks Call No: QWF Fic Wic    Availability:1 of 1     At Your Library Summary Note: In 1927, they drowned the River Noire in the Province of Quebec by building a dam. To do so, the government expropriated land, forcing the farmers in the valley to higher ground. The same year, Irish republicans ambushed Michael Collins on a country road in County Cork, Ireland, and shot him dead. This story carries the rumor of his assassination across the Atlantic to the Irish community in Canada, bringing with it the seeds of violence and rebellion. In this suspenseful fiction, Quebec has realized its republican dreams, but has lost territory as America becomes greater still.

      -- Fishing the Atlantic in the age of sail
      By Bolster, W. Jeffrey
       c2012., Adult, Belknap Press of Harvard University Press Call No: 639.2091 B687m    Availability:1 of 1     At Your Library Summary Note: "Since the Viking ascendancy in the Middle Ages, the Atlantic has shaped the lives of people who depend upon it for survival. W. Jeffrey Bolster, a historian and professional seafarer, takes us through a millennium-long environmental history of our impact on one of the largest ecosystems in the world. The western Atlantic's legendary fishing banks, stretching from Cape Cod to Newfoundland, have attracted fishermen for more than five hundred years. Bolster follows the effects of this siren<U+2019>s song from its medieval European origins to the advent of industrialized fishing in American waters at the beginning of the twentieth century. Blending marine biology, ecological insight, and a remarkable cast of characters, from notable explorers to scientists to an army of unknown fishermen, Bolster tells a story that is both ecological and human: the prelude to an environmental disaster. Over generations, harvesters created a quiet catastrophe as the sea could no longer renew itself"--Provided by publisher.
