Fatal Forecast
By: Tougias, Michael J.
Published by: SCRIBNER
A true story of catastrophe and survival at sea, Fatal Forecast is a spellbinding moment-by-moment account of seventy-two hours in the lives of eight young fishermen, some of whom would never set foot on dry land again. On the morning of November 21, 1980, two small Massachusetts lobster boats set out for Georges Bank, a bountiful but perilous fishing ground 130 miles off the coast of Cape Cod. The National Weather Service had forecast typical fall weather, and the young, rugged crewmen aboard the Sea Fever and the Fair Wind had made dozens of similar trips that season. They had no reason to expect that this trip would be any different.

Mutton Fish
By: Cruse, Beryl; Stewart, Liddy; Norman, Sue
Published by: Aboriginal Studies Press
This is the story of the Aboriginal people of the south coast of New South Wales as told through the metaphor of Haliotis (mutton fish or abalone). Haliotis is a subsistence food – easy to find and harvest, rich in energy and accessible when the beaches are freely open to all. At times, the abalone story seems almost secondary to the fascinating picture of everyday Aboriginal life, especially in the 1950s and 1960s.

The Whale Warriors
By: Heller, Peter
Published by: FREE PRESS IMPRINT
For the crew of the eco-pirate ship the Farley Mowat, any day saving a whale is a good day to die.
