New Books - from SF Ocean Film Festival

The San Francisco Ocean Film Festival donated several books about the seas and marine conservation to the library this week, including:

David Helvarg's 50 Ways to Save the Ocean - a practical guide to the daily choices we can make to help restore and preserve the seas,

Jon Bowermaster's Descending the Dragon - his account of his 800-mile sea kayak expedition along the northern coast of Vietnam, and

Douglas Whynott's Giant Bluefin - an account of the New England bluefin tuna harpoon fishery, a fish greatly prized in Japan for sushi and sashimi.

Also: Stephen Harrigan's Water and Light, David Mercy's Berserk: My Voyage to the Antarctic in a Twenty-Seven-Foot Sailboat, Robert Kurson's Shadow Divers, and John Long's The Big Drop.
