 | From Sea to Shining Sea by Charles Kuralt, Hiroji Kubota
Although there have been many recent photographic books about America, almost all have been compilations of images from many different photographers, or books on very narrow themes. Kubota's work, however, is spectacularly different. Never before has one man traveled so many miles and taken so many glorious photos as this noted Magnum photographer. Features a foreword by Charles Kuralt. 174 full-color photographs. AUTHOR: Charles Kuralt, Hiroji Kubota

 | The Aging Sailboat Checkup by Don Casey
``Surveying'' a boat conjures an image of complex diagnostics using moisture meters and ultrasound. But Don Casey shows us that it doesn't need to be that way. You can learn what you need to know by rapping, poking, looking, and listening. But you must be able to recognize problem symptoms when they arise. This book shows you how. Hull, deck, rig, interior, engine, electrical system--it's all here. You'll still want to hire a surveyor before buying a boat, and Casey guides you through that, too. In the meantime, though, whether you're maintaining or shopping, you can save hundreds, even thousands of dollars in survey fees. AUTHOR: Don Casey
