Maine is known for its rockbound coast and pristine shoreline. Yet there is more to this shore than rocky cliffs. This book describes the origin of the more common "soft coast" of eroding bluffs, sand beaches, and salt marshes. A central theme is the formation of the present shoreline during the current ongoing rise in sea level and the ways in which coastal residents can best cope with the changes to come. Although it is not widely known, Maine is experiencing a rapid, uneven drowning of its shore at the same time that coastal development is at an all-time high. The authors explain how the shoreline is changing and provide a series of highly detailed maps that show the relative safety of particular locations on the coast. Specific guidelines for recognizing various safe and unsafe coastal settings are presented, as are recommendations for sound construction techniques in hazardous coastal areas. Photographs and drawings illustrate the danger of living too near the shoreline, and an up-to-date review of Maine's regulations governing coastal construction is simply and readably described. A bibliography of important coastal literature is also included, as well as a guide to federal, state, and local sources of information.

What's it like to live your dream? To live the life of an author? To (finally) be married to the man you love and live in the place you've always imagined? With wry humor and insight, Lea Wait, acclaimed author of 14 books in two genres, shares the good, the bad, and the challenging about living in a Maine house built in 1774, meeting publishing deadlines, and loving life. (Most of the time!) Lea always wanted to be an author, a mother, a wife ... and to live on the coast of Maine. She adopted her four daughters as a single parent. In 1998, after they were grown, she moved to Maine and began writing full-time. In 2003 she married Bob Thomas, a man she'd only known 12,994 days. Her story is a treasure for everyone who knows and love Maine, or writing ... or who dreams.

Elizabeth Garbers collection of poems invites us to intimately experience her vision of the small coastal town in Maine where she lives. Through her eyes, we share the poignancy of her observations throughout a year of seasons. Each poem is lovingly crafted, richly compelling and glows with a radiant awareness. Warm yourself with haiku composed while she cross-country skis on fresh snow along a stream. Refresh yourself with a poem of kayaking at dawn out of a small harbor. Feel the rhythm of a daily life, walking past streets of white clapboard houses on her morning walk to the ocean and listening to patient stories in her acupuncture office.You will be moved and changed from reading her poems honoring the grief of a widower, her son turning 18, and the end of a romance. Youll find yourself seeing more deeply into the simple moments of your life after reading a poem about shopping with her daughter, and playing in a blizzard with her mother. This collection awakens a yearning for more awareness, joy and compassion in our daily lives.

"Coast Calendar," says its Pulitzer Prize-winning author, "is the story of the work and play, the human nature and the weather, the fauna and flora, the ups and downs in a sample, all-around Main family that mixes farming of the sea with farming of the land." It is Robert P. Tristram Coffin's delightful chronicle of a year on the Maine coast. It is the world of coastal Maine, but it is a wider world, too. Perhaps the deep frost and special swing of the stars and the sweep of the sea belong to Maine, but the fine day-to-day detail of living in tune with the seasons and nature will stir memories for many of a way of life that is rapidly passing. Rebert P. Tristram Coffin was a descendant of the original English settlers of Maine and an acclaimed historian of his time. He was also a poet and essayist and was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for poetry in 1935. He attended Bowdoin College in Maine and later taught there while writing many of his thirty-seven books.

According to acclaimed writer Isak Dinesen, "the cure for anything is salt water," and most coastal Mainers would likely agree. The distinct sense of place one gets in Maine is instilled at early age and living along Maine's rugged coast requires a combination of industriousness, flexibility, and self-sufficiency, all coupled with a profound sense of community. Like barnacles on a tidal ledge, these close-knit communities cling to the edge of the sea. They have salt in their veins, and the Maine coast is their ecosystem. In this book about people, Charlie Wing talks with some of the hardy folk who call this place home. Here are stories of lobstermen, boatbuilders, artists, writers, and teachers who opened up to Charlie and share their feelings on world events, government, the weather, and people from away.
