| Synopsis: |
The sea drives our economy, our lifestyle and our politics. It affects what we eat, how we travel, our use of the land and how we relate to our continental neighbours. Our love affair with our coastline inspires myth and legend, and influences our literature, our music and our art. Yet we abuse and despoil our native waters as if we imagine they are infinitely resourceful and forgiving. Our once-grand seaside resorts now embrace some of the poorest neighbourhoods in Europe, while our management of our seaports is so inept that we bring chaos to our roads. And all the time our reckless consumption of fossil fuels pumps out greenhouse gases that accelerate climate change and guarantee a future of ever more violent storms, rising seas and destruction.With passion and rigour, Richard Girling examines the history and consequences of the issues that confront us along our coastline. Outraged, bemused, despairing, he is also compelling and irrepressibly entertaining as he sifts for solutions along the sands. |

The Pirate's Daughter
Errol Flynn washes up on Jamaica in his storm-wrecked yacht. Ida Joseph has set her heart on marrying Flynn. Flynn and Ida do not marry, but Ida bears Flynn a daughter, May, who will meet her father but once. This is a tale of passion and recklessness, of two generations of women and their battles for love and survival, and of a nation struggling to rise to the challenge of hard-won independence. The book has been selected as one of Richard and Judy's Summer Reads 2008.
