A graceful primer on life and how to sail through it with character,

easy grace, and personal priorities all in a row.Kirkus Reviews



Robb White knows everything there is to know about getting on the water and staying

there as long as you possibly can. While still a young boy, he built his first boat, hewn from

the tin roof of an abandoned chicken coop. In How to Build a Tin Canoe, this Southern

raconteur and self-taught, expert wooden-boat builder offers a wryly humorous journey

through a life lived on the water and the lessons learned along the way.



Robb White is the owner and proprietor of the boat-building company Robb White & Sons. A regular contributor to the publications WoodenBoat and Messing About in Boats, he is widely regarded for his boat knowledge and his working theory of life. He splits his time between southern Georgia and Florida's Apalachee Bay.

Edward Gibbon's Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire occupies an immortal place in the pantheon of historical masterpieces. This six-disc recording covers the final three volumes of Gibbon's work, tracing ten centuries in the life of the eastern half of the empire, whose capital city was Constantinople. Among the many figures who stride across Gibbon's stage here are the emperor Justinian I, a noble statesman and successful warrior, brought low by his lascivious wife, the former prostitute Theodora; the murdering Basil I, a peasant who nonetheless proved himself a worthy figure upon which to drape the purple; and the final emperor of all, Constantine XI, who died on the battlements of Constantinople in 1453, valiantly fighting a losing battle to prevent the Turks from gaining a city they had craved for centuries. It is still the work that sets the standard for all histories of the period.
