The great museum of the sea : a human history of shipwrecks / by Delgado, James P.author(CARDINAL)184224;
Includes bibliographical references and index.Ship Wrecks -- Shipwrecks as Muses -- Shipwrecks as Historical Sites, Graves, and Memorials -- "In the Solitude of the Sea" -- "The Bounty of the Sea" -- Shipwreck Salvage -- Shipwreck Archaeology -- Why Do We Care About Shipwrecks? -- Shipwrecks in the 21st Century."What is a shipwreck? That question has driven James Delgado to explore, find, dive and study shipwrecks around the globe for the last five decades. A shipwreck is more than a word or a concept. As a word, a "shipwreck" is powerful, a word that evokes many images and human reactions. Writing from the perspectives of an archaeologist, seafaring historian, ocean explorer, journalist, museum director and television host, James Delgado has found a shipwreck, and shipwrecks, the focus of much of his career. For him, a shipwreck is an entity; a lost or abandoned structure, either intact or in pieces. It is also an event that focused the attention of society which then expressed that attention through actions...like stories, music, art and film. In Shipwrecks, he shares what hundreds of wrecks that span thousands of years and the world's oceans, lakes and rivers, as well as skeletons that emerge from storm-tossed beaches or from now-buried harbors and waterfronts of the past have taught him, and why shipwrecks are a universal human story that has meaning and value beyond the concept of a battered, or sunken hulk in the depths"-- Provided by publisher.

Father and son / by Plauen, E. O.,artist.(CARDINAL)179785; Rotenberg, Joel,translator.(CARDINAL)755766; Plauen, E. O.Works.Selections.;
"Father and Son is one of the most beloved comic strips ever drawn--an uproarious, timeless ode to the pleasures, pitfalls, and endless absurdity of family life. Created in Germany in 1934 by the political cartoonist Erich Ohser (using the pseudonym E.O. Plauen after being persecuted for his opposition to the Nazi regime), the gruff, loving, mustachioed father and his sweet but troublemaking son embark on adventures both everyday and extraordinary: family photo shoots and summer vacations, shipwrecks and battles with gangsters, a Christmas feast with forest animals, and a trip to the zoo. Drawn almost entirely without dialogue, the Father and Son strips overflow with slapstick, fantasy, and anarchic visual puns. Like Calvin and Hobbes or The Simpsons, it is a slyly heartwarming, dizzyingly inventive classic"--
