In 1757, a sailing ship owned by an affluent Connecticut merchant sailed from New London to the tiny island of Bence in Sierra Leone, West Africa, to take on fresh water and slaves. On board was the owner’s son, on a training voyage to learn the trade. The Logbooks explores that voyage, and two others documented by that young man, to unearth new realities of Connecticut’s slave trade and question how we could have forgotten this part of our past so completely. When writer Anne Farrow discovered the significance of the logbooks for the Africa and two other ships in 2004, her mother had been recently diagnosed with dementia. As Farrow bore witness to the impact of memory loss on her mother’s sense of self, she also began a journey into the world of the logbooks and the Atlantic slave trade, eventually retracing part of the Africa’s long-ago voyage to Sierra Leone. As the narrative unfolds in The Logbooks, Farrow explores the idea that if our history is incomplete, then collectively we have forgotten who we are—a loss that is in some ways similar to what her mother experienced. Her meditations are well rounded with references to the work of writers, historians, and psychologists. Forthright, well researched, and warmly recounted, Farrow’s writing is that of a novelist’s, with an eye for detail. Using a wealth of primary sources, she paints a vivid picture of the eighteenth-century Connecticut slavers. The multiple narratives combine in surprising and effective ways to make this an intimate confrontation with the past, and a powerful meditation on how slavery still affects us.

72: Celestial Logbooks of the Gold and Copper Invaders describes the bright celestial objects that were used for calendars and navigation for the last 10,000 years. This required counting and measuring angles which the prehistory and even pre-Ice Age cultures knew. This enabled these cultures to hunt, gather, and explore by boat looking for precious metals to sustain their cultures. Initial editorial reviews: "WOW, Magnificent, Beyond Significant." Jim Egan, Curator, Newport Tower Museum: "Brilliant out of the box thinking." A past Kirkus Review stated: "...McMahon's reasoning is far from far-fetched... with an elegantly simple process of following history's clues...the ancient rock art symbols of seafaring communication." Lonnie Davis, Curator Historian, Ocmulgee Mounds National Historical Park, "Eye-opening .... The blinders finally came off!" The following bright celestial objects are described and analyzed: Sun: circles, rectangles, diamonds, spirals, and solstice latitudes Moon: crescents, circles, rectangles, and lunar standstill latitudes Venus (72): hearts, rectangles, pentagons, and relative longitudes Sirius and Canopus: the eyes as pointer stars to the North and South Pole stars North Pole stars: Polaris, Thuban, Vega, and Deneb as the golden 30° rectangle Winter Triangle: Orion, the hunter, and his dogs, the equilateral triangle Summer Navigation Triangle: Northern Cross as passageways and chronometers Golden Location Triangle: Libra, le Balance, what is shipped is received The celestial object's geometries were built into a culture's mound and temple structures becoming celestial observatories. These were sacred because they represented information concerning the locations of mines, storage facilities, harbors, temples, and "home." Geometric diffusionism came from the westward-bound seafaring explorers with their roots coming from the Fertile Crescent. Celestial counting and geometries form a universal calendar and navigation language. The rock art shows the actual relative latitudes to the Sun solstices and Venus-based relative longitudes to a prime starting location of island locations (stargates) that were associated with the seafaring trips in search of gold and copper.

A startling and superbly researched book demythologizing the North’s role in American slavery “The hardest question is what to do when human rights give way to profits. . . . Complicity is a story of the skeletons that remain in this nation’s closet.”—San Francisco Chronicle The North’s profit from—indeed, dependence on—slavery has mostly been a shameful and well-kept secret . . . until now. Complicity reveals the cruel truth about the lucrative Triangle Trade of molasses, rum, and slaves that linked the North to the West Indies and Africa. It also discloses the reality of Northern empires built on tainted profits—run, in some cases, by abolitionists—and exposes the thousand-acre plantations that existed in towns such as Salem, Connecticut. Here, too, are eye-opening accounts of the individuals who profited directly from slavery far from the Mason-Dixon line. Culled from long-ignored documents and reports—and bolstered by rarely seen photos, publications, maps, and period drawings—Complicity is a fascinating and sobering work that actually does what so many books pretend to do: shed light on America’s past.

One half-century later, the catastrophic ramming of the MS Stockholm into the Italian luxury liner the SS Andrea Doria in 1956 is relived in this candid, heartrending account. Author Pierette Domenica Simpson, who, with her grandparents, survived the tragedy off the shoals of Nantucket, shares the human and technical aspects of what has become known as the greatest sea rescue in history. As only an eyewitness can do, the author presents survivors' recollections in dramatic vignettes that meticulously re-create a horrific event-one that could have been another Titanic. Both poor immigrants and wealthy travelers give their accounts of ultimate despair and infinite elation after staring at their own reflections in the black ocean that night and seeing death stare back. Equally dramatic are the revelations of new facts exposed by nautical experts from two continents facts that solve the "mystery" of who was to blame for this most improbable collision between two ships on the open seas.
