They Ply The Seven Seas, Traverse The World´S Great Lakes And Waterways, Meander Along Rivers And Canals, And Tuck Into Safe Harbours. Among These Travellers Are Parents With Children. For One Year, A Family From The Canadian Prairie Jumped Off The Deep End, And Joined Them. Greetings From Cool Breezes Is Not Just About Sand, Surf, Salt And Sails, Or Even Sunny Ports-Of-Call; It´S About What It Takes, And What It´S Like, To Be Away For A Year From The Multi-Tasking Merry-Go-Round Of North American Culture. This Book Relates The Experience Of A Landlubber Family Out Of Its Element That Learns Not Only How To Become Liveaboards, But Also To Live In The Moment. This Book Tells The True Sea Adventures And Misadventures Of The Kirwin Crew: Parents Patrick And Jeananne, Their Four Children Erin (12), Ben (10), Liam (9) And Meara (4), And Their Labrador Retriever Jasper. In August 2000, They Bought A Catamaran Called Cool Breezes And Sailed, For A Year And A Day, Along The Eastern U.S. Seaboard And The Rugged North Coast Of Cuba, And Among The Many Dazzling Archipelagos Of The Bahamas. A Faithful Account Of Their Trials And Tribulations Was Reported Via E-Mail Missives Back Home, Each Bearing The Subject Line Greetings From Cool Breezes. Those E-Mails Form The Backbone Of This Book., Borealis Press, Limited, 2005, 5, Woodstock & New York: The Overlook Press, 2002. First Edition First Printing Stated . Hard Back. Fine/Fine. 6 1/2" X 9 1/2. 478 Pages Indexed. Protected by a Demco Polyfit Vinyl covering since the purchase date. The ensuing uprising led to the creation of the United States, the most powerful country in the modern world. Robert Harvey, whose most recent book Liberators was brilliantly reviewed on both sides of the ocean, challenges conventional views of the American Revolution in almost every aspect-why it happened, who was winning and when, the characters of the principal protagonists, and the role of Native Americans and slaves. In a time when the history of the United States is being reconsidered-when David McCullough's John Adams and Stephen Ambrose's Band of Brothers top the bestseller lists-Harvey creatively studies this seminal event in the making of the United States. He takes a penetrating look at a war that was both vicious and confused, bloody and protracted, and marred on both sides by incompetence and bad faith. He underscores the effect of the Revolution on the settlers in America, and those at home in Britain-the country that the settlers had left behind, and to which many returned. The result is an extraordinarily fascinating and thoroughly readable account., The Overlook Press, 2002, 5<
