James Mitchell presents a series of biographical sketches and interviews of more than thirty Maine women who have all carved out meaningful careers for themselves. The women shared their stories and dreams with Mitchell to celebrate their and other women's accomplishments. Although their stories and fields of endeavor -- ranging from commercial fishing (Linda Greenlaw), to writing (Kate Barnes), to government service (Chellie Pingree) -- are different, the women all celebrate the remarkable resilience of the human spirit. What they have in common is intelligence, passion, enthusiasm, and a firm belief in their abilities. Black and white photographs accompany each profile.

From Grand Manaan to Mount Desert to the Isles of Shoals on the New Hampshire border, sixty-eight light-houses stand along the coast of Maine and her rivers. In his conversational way, Bill Caldwell leads his readers on an historical tour of all the Maine lighthouses. In Bill's hands the legends, lore, and history of the impressive signals come to life. Black and white photos or drawings of individual light-houses in many of the sections add to the experience.

Maine's lighthouses are symbolic of her proud maritime heritage and of a way of life that has long passed. Who better to pass on the traditions than master storyteller Bill Caldwell?

Excerpt from The Native's Return: An American Immigrant Visits Yugoslavia and Discovers His Old Country Guggenheim Fellowship requiring me to go to Europe for a year, I was thirty-three and had been 1n the United States nineteen years. At fourteen - a son of peasants, with a touch of formal city education - I had emigrated to the United States from Carniola, then a tiny Slovene province of Austria, now an even tinier part of a banowna in the new Yugoslav state; In those nineteen years.. I had become an American; ih deed, I had often thought I was more American than W'ere most of the native citizens of my acquaintance.

Poland, as a result of its location and geography, has been an area of conflict throughout its long and turbulent history. It has had periods of greatness, independence and prosperity alternated with phases of foreign domination and disaster during which its boundaries and people have been divided by conquering nations. Despite this, culture flourished within the country and Poland was one of the most active countries during the Renaissance with some religious and social laws many countries today still do not have. The Sejm voted the monarchs of Poland into power beginning in 1572, which became an important step for political progress in Europe. On May 3, 1791, Poland adopted Europe's first democratic constitution -- the world's second after the American Constitution. "We are pleased and grateful for your effort put into writing this book. We hope it will help to provide information on Poland to many Anglophones. The part on Economy in Poland is accurate assuming the reader is looking for general information or she/he is running a preliminary research on the economy of our country." Marcin Walewski Deputy Commercial Attache Embassy of Poland .,."I am interested in virtually all things Polish, and look forward to enjoying the entire book upon publication. To know that I had some hand in assisting you with your tome, will be something for me to be proud of for years to come." Chevalier Rik Sulima-Suligowski Fox Guildmaster, The Polish Nobility Commonwealth Guild 1st US Hussaria I found the book chock-full of information and written in a style that was easy to read and understand.
