Oceanic Feeling
by PETER NEILL
“I have oceanic feeling every time I experience the ocean, regardless of place or condition. It is as close to purity as I suspect ever to come. I am transfixed: by the light, the motion, the smell, the sound, and all the other sensations of body and mind that the ocean inspires in me consistently and profoundly
on every occasion....”

The New Fish Wave
how to ignite the seafood industry
by dr. Thor sigfusson
Synopsis:
"Can we inspire other seafood nations to follow the Icelandic example: creating more value in seafood through innovation and collaboration?"
This is the question Dr. Thor Sigfusson, founder of the Iceland Ocean Cluster, tackles in his new book. THE NEW FISH WAVE describes how the Iceland Ocean Cluster has inspired more innovation and entrepreneurship in the global seafood industry by doing more with less to create value from fish byproducts and to build sustainable global fisheries. The world can learn from Iceland—the small fishing nation in the North Atlantic—which has in many ways transformed itself from being one of the poorest countries in the world a century ago to becoming a niche leader in fish and one of the richest nations in the world. Iceland is a nation which has shown pride in its seafood industry and uses new innovation to safeguard the environment, create wealth, derive more value from each fish, and manage fisheries in a sustainable way.

47
the true story of the vendetta of
the 47 ronin from AKō
by Thomas Harper
Synopsis:
This is the story of a few men who valued justice more than life. They were members of the large Corps of Samurai in the feudal domain of Akō in western Japan. But when their lord committed the crime of drawing his sword within the castle of the Shogun, the law decreed that he should be sentenced to death, that his heir would not inherit the domain, and all of his vassals would become ronin, dismissed from employment, evicted from their homes, and deprived of their income. All 308 samurai in Akō knew the law and accepted it. And if their lord had succeeded in killing the man he attacked in the castle that would have been the tragic end of this episode. But their lord was subdued and failed to kill his enemy; which meant that yet another law came into play: the Principle of Equal Punishment. 47: The True Story of the Vendetta of the 47 Ronin from Akō tells the harrowing tale of how all this was argued, what was decided, what the results were, and what ultimately became of those 47 men who remained.
