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.

Here is the diverse and fascinating story of the Theatre, from the first tragedies and comedies of Ancient Greece to the high-tech mega-musicals of the late 20th century. It is an absorbing tale, encompassing ancient tales, medieval theatre, Commedia dell'Arte, the great dramas of the Elizabethan age, the foppish 18th century, the European developments in France, Germany and Spain with Russia making its main impact in the 19th century. As the 20th century progressed, the theatre moved in different experimental directions, particularly in America and Europe.

Interwoven within the story are the playwrights, the actors, the designers and theorists who have kept this performing art flourishing for 2,500 years.
All this is illustrated by more than 50 excerpts from plays and contemporary accounts, ranging from the controversial and innovative to sheer entertainment.

Here is the rich variety of experience that is the Theatre.

'Here, at the age of thirty nine, I began to be old. '

In 1944 Captain Charles Ryder travels with a company of soldiers to Brideshead. It's a place he's been to before, and one which serves as a potent reminder of the decadent and stylish lifestyle now destroyed by the austerity of the Second World War.

Evelyn Waugh's moving and nostalgic novel revisits a golden age, when Ryder was a student at Oxford in the 1920s and in thrall to the captivating but tragic Sebastian Flyte. As the story unfolds over the next two decades, Ryder traces his friendship with Sebastian and his involvement with the young man's aristocratic Catholic family - in particular Julia, the eldest Flyte daughter.

Ben Miles stars as Charles Ryder with Jamie Bamber as Sebastian in this full-cast dramatisation, which also features Eleanor Bron and Edward Petherbridge.

After their return from Planet X, Brad and Alex have a tough time trying to get their ship to pass its maintenance review. The alien’s viral onslaughts have left the Full Advantage riddled with software mutations and there are suspicions of even more invasive alterations. Dieter, whom they’d rescued from the moon-swamp at Planet X, is alive but struggling to shake off his infection.

Even though their mission had been highly successful by many standards, no sentient press agents on Earth have shown the slightest interest at their return. Surely their findings were newsworthy?!

Things take a turn for the worse when Dieter’s condition deteriorates. Just then one of the most powerful A.I.’s in the world requests their immediate presence and offers compelling arguments for a risky mission to an unchartered system twenty thousand light years away. Could this A.I.’s theory about the origin of the alien they found at Planet X be right? If so, can they trust a fragment of this A.I. aboard the Full Advantage to have their well-being at heart, and for that matter, can they still rely on their own ship to bring them back safely?

And as if this mission didn’t have enough unknowns, Brad couldn’t deny the wishes of a dying man and has allowed Dieter to come along!

Brad Lansky and Alex John are veteran space explorers. Zara, a life form scientist on Earth, is collaborating on a research project with Sandy Larkin in a distant part of the Milky Way. Sandy has discovered a new intelligent life form, but his transmissions suddenly stop without warning. Soon after, Zara is paid a visit by an alien Nomad who claims to have Sandy’s coordinates, but will only part with them at a price, claiming that a hostile life form at these coordinates destroyed his ship.

Distraught, Zara calls on Brad for help, knowing that he and Sandy were good friends back in flight school. Brad and Alex mount a rescue mission, but how should they best prepare for it? Have the Nomad’s people kidnapped Sandy, or are they dealing with a hostile new life form? And how should they prepare for an encounter with a powerful life form they know almost nothing about?
