DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Nova Scotia's Cape Breton Island is a beautiful region with a unique community whose history and ethnic composition have resulted in the evolution of a powerful sense of identity and place. While outsiders may think only of the island's perennial economic woes and long economic dependence on coal mining and steel production, it is also the home of a rich, vibrant, and distinct culture. Brian Douglas Tennyson's Cape Bretoniana is the first bibliography to gather together all known publications relating to the history, culture, economy, and politics of Cape Breton Island. With more than 6000 entries, it not only provides a comprehensive listing of publications and post-graduate theses, but also detailed annotations on the listings. Each entry lists the author, title, place of publication, publisher, date of publication, volume and issue number in the case of periodicals, and page references, followed by a brief description of the item. Cape Breton has never been so thoroughly documented. This bibliography will help to ensure that ? even in a world becoming increasingly homogenized by the forces of globalization ? unique cultural identities like Cape Breton's can be preserved and nurtured.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Oceans Odyssey 2 presents the results of the discovery and archaeological survey of ten deep-water wrecks by Odyssey Marine Exploration. In the Western Approaches and western English Channel, a mid-17th century armed merchantman, the guns of Admiral Balchin's Victory (1744), the mid-18th century French privateer La Marquise de Tourny and six German U-boats lost at the end of World War II are examined in depth. From the Atlantic coast of the United States, the Jacksonville 'Blue China' wreck's British ceramics, tobacco pipes and American glass wares bring to life the story of a remarkable East Coast schooner lost in the mid-19th century. These unique sites expand the boundaries of human knowledge, highlighting the great promise of deep-sea wrecks, the technology needed to explore them and the threats from nature and man that these wonders face. Challenges to managing underwater cultural heritage are also discussed, along with proposed solutions for curating and storing collections.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Fort Pentagoet, situated at the confluence of the Bagaduce River and Penoscabot, is the site of the last major Acadian holding before the frontier with New England, and takes it name from the area it was designed to control. This report gives a historical and archaeological profile of the Fort area starting at the emergence of camps upon the site as early as 1600 and the three forts built on the site through that century. Archaeological details include information on conflicting historical templates, ground-penetrating radar predictions, excavation sequence, chronology from pipestem bores and includes a discussion of products and by-products made by the smithy of the Fort, clay tobacco pipes, ceramics, foodways, personal belongings and trade goods, and includes a account of the Henri Brunet, a supply ship that delivered to the area.
