Download or read book A Guide to the Geology of Southwestern Maine written by Arthur M. Hussey II and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-01 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This guide is a significant addition to Maine's literature for the naturalist. Arthur Hussey, Bowdoin College Professor of Geology emeritus, has produced an insightful and lucid explanation of the geology of southwestern Maine. No prerequisites are required to fully understand and appreciate this book. Based on Hussey's fifty-five years of field study, this is a boot-on-the-ground guide that is every bit as good as a textbook on the subject, but far more engaging. Reading it is almost like hearing him speak and personal anecdotes enliven the narrative. The guide is well illustrated with Hussey's own photos, figures and maps. The table summarizing the geological events, glossary of terms and an index are valuable features. The reader will develop an understanding of the southwestern Maine's rock outcrops, its landscape and the forces that account for them.

Download or read book The Lobster Coast written by Colin Woodard and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2005-04-26 with total page 401 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “A thorough and engaging history of Maine’s rocky coast and its tough-minded people.”—Boston Herald “[A] well-researched and well-written cultural and ecological history of stubborn perseverance.”—USA Today For more than four hundred years the people of coastal Maine have clung to their rocky, wind-swept lands, resisting outsiders’ attempts to control them while harvesting the astonishing bounty of the Gulf of Maine. Today’s independent, self-sufficient lobstermen belong to the communities imbued with a European sense of ties between land and people, but threatened by the forces of homogenization spreading up the eastern seaboard. In the tradition of William Warner’s Beautiful Swimmers, veteran journalist Colin Woodard (author of American Character: A History of the Epic Struggle Between Individual Liberty and the Common Good) traces the history of the rugged fishing communities that dot the coast of Maine and the prized crustacean that has long provided their livelihood. Through forgotten wars and rebellions, and with a deep tradition of resistance to interference by people “from away,” Maine’s lobstermen have defended an earlier vision of America while defying the “tragedy of the commons”—the notion that people always overexploit their shared property. Instead, these icons of American individualism represent a rare example of true communal values and collaboration through grit, courage, and hard-won wisdom.
