Then see how to use this wisdom to improve everything from business meetings to social situations to your personal life.

Long Island

Since the mid-1600's, eastern Long Island's shoals, sandbars and assorted submerged hazards have caused many an unlucky vessel to become shipwrecked. The frequency of wrecks rose to a grim crescendo during the mid-nineteenth century as New York and New England peaked as shipping centers. Then came the dawn of the twentieth century and the arrival of advanced navigational aids. Although the number of wrecks declined, the high drama persisted as rumrunners and German submarines kept the coast humming with rumors and anticipation. In MAYDAY!, author Van R. Field painstakingly assembles a compendium of Long Island's most harrowing, amazing and notorious shipwrecks and ocean-going incidents.

From its southernmost point--just off the elegant Plaza Hotel--and up through Harlem Meer, Central Park is 843 acres of delight and respite in the midst of the city. Step into New York's heart and soul with an intimate and informative photographic walking tour that spotlights the park's well-known joys (such as Bethesda Fountain and Strawberry Fields) and its hidden glories. Take an incomparable close-up look at the magnificent cherry-blossomed trees, old-fashioned streetlamps, shiny and elaborate bridges, sun-dappled walkways, statues, and lake. Some spots, where soft willows overhang water, make the urban hustle and bustle outside disappear. Elsewhere, you can lie on a blanket of grass and gaze at the skyscape-including some of New York's most famous buildings. The images show Central Park in every season, in morning and evening light, filled with people or empty on a foggy afternoon. A very special view of New York's greatest treasure.

What is the most important key to making your woodworking projects more craftsmanlike, attractive, durable, and valuable? The answer lies in the quality of their joints. Most books assume you know how to make a perfect joint and which one to choose, so they give you minimal information. But you need to make sure the joints do what they're supposed to. The introduction to each style is followed by a checklist of reasons to select it: halving joints; dowel and biscuit joints; mortise-and-tenon joints; miter joints; housing joints; dovetail joints; and others. Once you learn what they look like and what they're used for, you can practice constructing each joint--with close-ups of six tool use techniques you'll apply to hundreds of woodworking projects. Test your skills with four projects where joinery is the star, including a glass-topped table, mirror frame, bookcase, and breakfast tray.

Long Island

Spanning the shores of Connecticut and Long Island, New York, the Long Island Sound is one of the most picturesque places in North America. From the discovery of the Sound in 1614, to the adventures of Captain Kidd, to the sinking of the Lexington in the sound in 1840, the Long Island Sound also holds a unique place in American history.

The Long Island Sound traces the growth of fishing and shipbuilding villages along the sound to the development of major industrial ports, resort towns, and suburban communities along the sound. Marilyn Weigold discusses the subsequent overcrowding and pollution that resulted from this prosperity and expansion.

Originally published in 1974 as The American Mediterranean and long out of print, The Long Island Sound has been updated by the author with a new preface and final chapter describing the Sound in the twenty-first century. In this new edition, Weigold particularly focuses on environmental concerns, and describes more current milestones, like the Long Island Pine Barrens Society, who fought and won in 1995 to set aside 100,000 acres as NY State's first forest preserve; the continuous construction of the Long Island Expressway, with its forty-one miles of HOV lanes; the attempt made by several of Connecticut's coastal cities to reinvigorate urban redevelopment; and the Long Island Sound Study's investigation of toxic substances—both natural and man-made—which continue to contaminate the waterway.

Through over 40 stunning photographs and many fascinating stories, The Long Island Sound tells the history of a vastly populated, but underdiscussed, part of America.

Long Island

Paddling Long Island is the only book on the market to depict routes and destinations across the whole of Long Island and the New York City area. And it showcases 50 of the very best. It is a diverse selection, too. After all, according to skill level, weather, personal mood, and other factors, a paddler may want open, fast water one day, but a quiet, protected experience at another time, and something in-between later on. It’s all here, from New York City to the far eastern tip of Long Island’s Montauk Point.

What’s more, the book’s guidance and language are geared to wide-ranging skill levels: the novice will be enlightened and encouraged, and the seasoned kayaker or canoeist will be engaged and engrossed. That is because the author’s intimate, lifelong knowledge of the area’s waterways shines in his descriptions of natural and social histories, humorous stories, personal anecdotes, and beautiful black-and-white photographs.

In addition, the author provides contact information on local paddling clubs, outfitters, and Internet links. And a final extensive section on personal safety, boat and equipment preparedness, and related topics makes this book an invaluable tool.
