In this book, the author describes some aspects of being a marine biologist that might be of most interest to the inquisitive reader. It does not deal with scientific matters, but describes some of the more amusing events in a career that extended over forty years, beginning with university training and extending through employment as a field biologist with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and ending with being a Laboratory Director with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, (NOAA). In the field studies of fisheries, the author undertook research assignments along the Atlantic coast from Massachusetts through Florida, with intensive studies of fish populations in the Connecticut, Delaware, York, Mattaponi, Pamunkey, James, Chickahominy, Roanoke, Neuse, Edisto, Ogeechee, and St. Johns Rivers. The studies ranged from determining estimates of sizes of spawning runs of shad and striped bass, to the design of fish passage facilities where the runs were blocked to upstream spawning by existing or proposed dams. As one might expect, many intriguing and sometimes amusing events occurred during these studies, some of which are described. These episodes ranged from a hazardous ride down the Delaware River in a confiscated canoe, through a clandestine meeting with an American Indian Tribe in the middle of the night, to a battle with a staff member over ballpoint pens. Through means of various job advancements, the author later became a biological research leader in Florida, where he found himself heavily immersed in such administrative duties as the management of research, people and budgets. These ten years are noted, however, as the most interesting and rewarding of the author’s career, because it gave him the opportunity of testing his legs and using his imagination to create his own version of how things should be run in marine science. There, he pushed for and succeeded in developing a staff that published its findings, rather them let them sit in unused files. He persuaded fishery officials of the Gulf States to join his lab in developing a cooperative Gulf of Mexico Estuarine Inventory, which was published and is still useful today. He and his lab staff took a case of land development to the Supreme Court and won, on the basis of fish and wildlife values. These are examples of pleasant accomplishments and “fun” things that occurred during the author’s career. Work with other biologists of the Gulf and South Atlantic States had its ups and downs, but as a whole, was very pleasant. He found that the less he had to deal with politicians and the more with scientists or science administrators, the better off he was. After almost ten years of running the Florida lab, Jim transferred to Sandy Hook, New Jersey, for a brief stay, and then back to Beaufort, NC, to become Chief of the Division of Fisheries. This too, was an interesting set of duties, in that it dealt with an emerging interest in sport fishery research on such species as grouper and king mackerel, and also the commercial menhaden fishery. The latter, he could have done without, in that the job was full of frustrations with an industry that thought it owned all of the fish stocks and should not practice any conservatism in harvesting them. Also, having a chief in the Washington office who agreed with them over the dead bodies of NOAA biologists, did not help. As an antidote, however, the author also became involved in helping membership growth of the American Institute of Fishery Research Biologists after being elected to serve a two year term as its President. Eventually, came retirement, and on to a less stressful environment, although emerging from one which had been both successful and enjoyable. The author settled down to two main activities; that of woodworking or decoy carving and furniture building, and serving on the Morehead City Planning Board and on the North Carolina Coastal Resources Commission. To those enterprises, he was able to ap

A revelatory exploration of Winslow Homer’s engagement with photography, shedding new light on his celebrated paintings and works on paper One of the greatest American painters of the 19th century, Winslow Homer (1836–1910) also maintained a deep engagement with photography throughout his career. Focusing on the important, yet often-overlooked, role that photography played in Homer’s art, this volume exposes Homer’s own experiments with the camera (he first bought one in 1882). It also explores how the medium of photography and the larger visual economy influenced his work as a painter, watercolorist, and printmaker at a moment when new print technologies inundated the public with images. Frank Goodyear and Dana Byrd demonstrate that photography offered Homer new ways of seeing and representing the world, from his early commercial engravings sourced from contemporary photographs to the complex relationship between his late-career paintings of life in the Bahamas, Florida, and Cuba and the emergent trend of tourist photography. The authors argue that Homer’s understanding of the camera’s ability to create an image that is simultaneously accurate and capable of deception was vitally important to his artistic practice in all media. Richly illustrated and full of exciting new discoveries, Winslow Homer and the Camera is a long-overdue examination of the ways in which photography shaped the vision of one of America’s most original painters.

Beware the blackbirds... It’s Halloween in Vermont, winter is coming, and five humans, two dogs, and a cat are a crowd in Mercy Carr’s small cabin. She needs more room—and she knows just the place: Grackle Tree Farm, with thirty acres of woods and wetlands and a Victorian manor to die for. They say it’s haunted by the ghosts of missing children and lost poets and a murderer or two, but Mercy loves it anyway. Even when Elvis finds a dead body in the library. There’s something about Grackle Tree Farm that people are willing to kill for—and Mercy needs to figure out what before they move in. A coded letter found on the victim points to a hidden treasure that may be worth a fortune—if it’s real. She and Captain Thrasher conduct a search of the old place—and end up at the wrong end of a Glock. A masked man shoots Thrasher, and she and Elvis must take him down before he murders them all. Under fire, she and Elvis manage to run the guy off, but not before they are wounded, leaving Thrasher fighting for his life in the hospital, Mercy on crutches, and Elvis on the mend. Now it’s up to Mercy and Troy and the dogs to track down the masked murderer in a county overflowing with leaf peepers, Halloween revelers, and treasure hunters and bring him to justice before he strikes again and the treasure is lost forever, along with the good name of Grackle Tree Farm....

In Building Bridges, Stuart A. Pizer gives much-needed recognition to the central role of negotiation in the analytic relationship and in the therapeutic process. Building on a Winnicottian perspective that comprehends paradox as the condition for preserving an intrapsychic and relational “potential space,” Pizer explores how the straddling of paradox requires an ongoing process of negotiation and demonstrates how such negotiation articulates the creative potential within the potential space of analysis. Following careful review of Winnicott’s perspective on paradox—via the pairings of privacy and interrelatedness, isolation and interdependence, ruthlessness and concern, and the notion of transitional phenomena—Pizer locates these elemental paradoxes within the negotiations of an analytic process. Together, he observes, analyst and patient negotiate the boundaries, potentials, limits, tonalities, resistances, and meanings that determine the course of their clinical dialogue. Elaborating on the theme of a multiply constituted, “distributed” self, Pizer presents a model for the tolerance of paradox as a developmental achievement related to ways in which caretakers function as “transitional mirrors.” He then explores the impact of trauma and dissociation on the child’s ability to negotiate paradox and clarifies how negotiation of paradox differs from negotiation of conflict. Pizer also broadens the scope of his study by turning to negotiation theory and practices in the disciplines of law, diplomacy, and dispute resolution. Enlivened by numerous clinical vignettes and a richly detailed chronicle of an analytic case from its earliest negotiations to termination,Building Bridges adds a significant dimension to theoretical understanding and clinical practice. Now republished as a Classic Edition with an Introduction by Donnel Stern, this book is altogether a psychoanalytic work of our time.

Nature can provide us with a way of reframing our minds, and dwelling in Gods creation can offer us a space to see, hear, and walk clearly. This clear thinking is what allows us to walk in harmony with the earth and with God, and as we traverse the paths and trails of nature, we can learn more about ourselves and our own personal journeys. In Connecting Trails: The Window of Life, author and naturalist Sean Jungo invites you to join him on his own journey through hundreds of miles of trails in our great National Park system. You will go off the beaten path to some of the most seldom-visited spots in America, and as you follow Seans journey, you will discover that each story has a unique lesson that provides a small piece of the greater puzzle. As each piece is laid down, you have the opportunity to think about your own life and what you can learn. Nature provides the setting for great reflections into the human drumbeat and Gods will for our lives. As we learn about the rhythms and seasons of nature, we learn bits of wisdom we can use to build more fulfilling lives. And no matter where you are on this great journey we call life, relishing in Seans experience of nature can offer a renewed desire to reflect and steadily build your own connecting trails.
