Sailor for the Wild: On Maine, Conservation and Boats

Ben Emory is one of the most important figures in land conservation and land trusts, particularly in the state of Maine. His efforts have resulted in thousands of acres of waterfront land and islands to be preserved for future generations. This moving book tells not only of his tireless efforts but his love of the coast of Maine, its people and its boats.

The original maps by Jane Crosen are both beautiful and informative, giving the reader a sense of beauty and complexity of the coast of Maine, as do the color photographs.
