<P>At one time, sardines were an inexpensive staple for many Americans. The 212 photographs in this elegant volume offer a striking document of this now vanished industry. Generations of workers in Maine have snipped, sliced, and packed the small, silvery fish into billions of cans on their way to Americans' lunch buckets and kitchen cabinets. On April 15, 2010, Stinson's Seafood, once the home of Beach Cliff Sardines, shut down the packing line that had made the name world famous. Begun in 1927, Stinson's empire eventually included sardine canneries spread along the Maine coast and a fleet of ships to supply them. With this closing, however, the end of the entire sardine industry in Maine had finally arrived. Photographer Markham Starr was privileged to spend several days at the Stinson factory in Prospect Harbor, one month before it was dismantled, emerging with a collection of remarkable images that transform the parts of the cannery into works of art and capture the resilience of the workers faced with the loss of jobs many had held for decades. This book includes a short essay, and shows the heartland of Maine at its finest.</P>

Best-of-Satiren vom Publikumsliebling U. S. Levin
Endlich gibt es nun das sehnsüchtig erwartete Best-of der Satiren aus den ersten und längst vergriffenen Büchern von U.S. Levin. Darin begegnen dem Leser die lieb gewonnenen Protagonisten – der Ich-Erzähler selbst, seine Frau und wie stets das nachbarliche Ehepaar Stürzler – in Situationen und Szenen, die das Eheleben schreibt, vom Autor herrlich überspitzt, urkomisch, wie nur er es bewerkstelligen kann. So geht es etwa um die Angst des Mannes um sein bestes Stück – sein Auto, und darum, ob die Ehefrau ans Steuer darf. Das alleine kann schon Albträume hervorrufen. Und wenn die neue junge Nachbarin im Fahrstuhl auftaucht, dann ist der Ehefrieden dahin. Doch zum Glück kommt ja jedes Jahr der Hochzeitstag, an dem Mann alles wiedergutmachen kann … Nicht fehlen dürfen natürlich die schwarzhumorigen Karikaturen von Peter Dunsch, ohne die seine Bücher nur halb so schön wären, wie die Frau von U.S. Levin zu urteilen weiß.

Sexy Satirekost von Publikumsliebling U.S. Levin
Endlich: Ein Band mit Satiren zur schönsten Nebensache der Welt! Ob Schul- oder Menopause, ob glücklich oder verheiratet, ob einsam oder geschieden – hierin findet sich jeder wieder. U. S. Levins Credo: »Wunden müssen schmerzen, sonst tun sie nicht weh!« Protagonisten seiner locker-leicht erzählten Episoden sind in wechselnden Konstellationen der Schriftsteller Uwe Levin, seine Frau, sein Nachbar Felix Stürzler und dessen Frau Erika. Sie verhandeln in unterschiedlichen Situationen die Frage, ob Sex im gehobenen Alter überhaupt noch relevant ist und wenn ja – wie und warum. Aber keine Sorge, Levin bleibt auf dem Teppich: Seine urkomischen Geschichten sind lebensnah und handlungsreich, mal sinnlich, mal deftig, aber niemals plump. Und: Die zauberhaften Karikaturen von Peter Dunsch setzen noch einen herzhaften Lacher obendrauf.
