Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Skipjacks and workboats, tidal rivers and coastal marshes, charming streetscapes, historic houses, and town parks with bandstands—picturesque subjects abound along the shores of Chesapeake Bay and have long made the region a favorite among amateur and professional artists. In Painting the Eastern Shore, accomplished artist and teacher James Drake Iams combines visits to some of the Chesapeake's most beautiful places with step-by-step lessons for learning the art of watercolor painting. This attractive volume will serve as a welcome companion for the amateur watercolorist setting out to paint on location. After offering tips on what equipment to pack, Iams gives specific directions to various Delmarva sites, tells how to set up, and suggests what to look for in a subject. He then discusses a variety of essential techniques: sketching, composition, value, color, control of the medium, capturing depth and handling perspective, wetting the paper, and methods for painting key elements such as clouds, birds, boats, sand, and water. As he introduces readers to the fundamentals of watercolor painting, Iams leads them on a rambling, thoroughly enjoyable tour of memorable places throughout Maryland and Virginia's Eastern Shore and Delaware. Painting the Eastern Shore is illustrated with 49 line drawings, halftones, and color pictures.

This book was released on 1997 with total page 329 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mixing chronological narrative with a full ecological portrait, anthropologists Helen C. Rountree and Thomas E. Davidson have reconstructed the culture and history of Virginia's and Maryland's Eastern Shore Indians from A.D. 800 until the last tribes disbanded in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries. In Eastern Shore Indians of Virginia and Maryland, the reader learns not only the characteristics and traditions of each tribe but also the plants and animals that were native to each ecozone and were essential components of the Indians' habitat and diet. Rountree and Davidson convincingly demonstrate how these geographical and ecological differences translated into cultural differences among the tribes and shaped their everyday lives. Making use of exceptional primary documents, including county records dating as far back as 1632, Rountree and Davidson have produced a thorough and fascinating glimpse of the lives of Eastern Shore Indians that will enlighten general readers and scholars alike.

Book excerpt: In this classic novel, James A. Michener brings his grand epic tradition to bear on the four-hundred-year saga of America’s Eastern Shore, from its Native American roots to the modern age. In the early 1600s, young Edmund Steed is desperate to escape religious persecution in England. After joining Captain John Smith on a harrowing journey across the Atlantic, Steed makes a life for himself in the New World, establishing a remarkable dynasty that parallels the emergence of America. Through the extraordinary tale of one man’s dream, Michener tells intertwining stories of family and national heritage, introducing us along the way to Quakers, pirates, planters, slaves, abolitionists, and notorious politicians, all making their way through American history in the common pursuit of freedom. BONUS: This edition includes an excerpt from James A. Michener's Hawaii. Praise for Chesapeake “Another of James Michener’s great mines of narrative, character and lore.”—The Wall Street Journal “[A] marvelous panorama of history seen in the lives of symbolic people of the ages . . . An emotionally and intellectually appealing book.”—The Atlanta Journal-Constitution “Michener’s most ambitious work of fiction in theme and scope.”—The Philadelphia Inquirer “Magnificently written . . . one of those rare novels that is enthusiastically passed from friend to friend.”—Associated Press

Book excerpt: "Oxford, Maryland, 1747. Sarah Wise would give anything to feel safe. Homeless and mourning her kidnapped girl, the widowed housekeeper makes a shrewd decision to accept a marriage offer from wealthy shipping tradesman Robert Morris, Sr. But after she witnesses the abuse of his slaves and he brands her with the company seal, she's petrified she'll always be a mistress and never a wife. Yearie longs for a more just system. Endlessly loyal to the young mother who controls her manumission, the enslaved woman works hard to open her owner's eyes to the cruelty of their master-servant culture. But as her heart burns for a man she can't openly love and her calculated disruptions draw unwanted attention, she's terrified change is slowly slipping through her fingers. Heeding Yearie's outcry, Sarah secretly teams up with an underground network to put right what she can in their master's business dealings. And with Yearie clearing the path for revolution but still hopelessly hitched to the wrong wagon, she fears she's made a costly mistake in laying her freedom in Sarah's hands. Will their courageous play for a modicum of respect push them both into an unmarked grave?"--Back cover.

Book excerpt: As revealed in the subtitle, this book is comprised of three parts. Part I, the Present, shows the diverse beauty of Lake Waramaug in the four seasons as seen in thirty-five paintings of the same scene, executed under different conditions over two years. All but two of the works (both are nocturnes) were painted on location and many were executed in the artist's Portable Sketching Capsule during frigid or inclement weather. Each painting tells its own story and is accompanied by selected observations made in the artist's log book during the painting process. Part II, the Past, is a fascinating long-view of the Lake's history. It is humbling to see the present in the larger perspective of the past that (a) goes back to the Lake's probable beginning eons ago when continents collided and then (b) fast forwards through the Ice Ages that sculpted the Lake, the Five Mass Extinctions which killed off over 75% of all species living on Earth at that those times and, finally, (c) relates the retreat of the current Ice Sheet from Connecticut, the return of flora and fauna and the arrival of humans - first the Native Americans and then European settlers. Although Lake Waramaug is the special place we have come to know and love, the threat of the Sixth Mass Extinction looms. Finally, Part III, the Future, reviews the noble efforts and successes in recent decades by farsighted leading individuals and organizations to preserve and protect the Lake and this part of the country so future generations of all life forms will survive and continue to enjoy them.
