Kati weiß, was sie werden will: Großvater. Davon lässt sie sich auch nicht abbringen, als die andern sie belächeln. Kati eignet sich an, was zu einem Großvater gehört: große Hände zum Akkordeon spielen oder Streichhölzer und Bonbons für die Jackentasche. Sie schafft es auch, so viel Zeit wie Großvater zu haben. Nur - wie bekommt sie weißes Wolkenhaar? Kurzerhand klebt sich Kati Watte in die Mütze. Und schon bald sitzen die zwei Großväter zusammen am Tisch und machen Großvaterdinge: zum Beispiel Milchtrinken.

A sharpie is a long, narrow, flat-bottom craft that evolved in the 19th century along the Connecticut shore as an oyster fisherman's boat.

When you finish reading this book, you?ll understand just what you need to do to build a terrific boat. A boat that is lightweight, forever appealing to the eye, a boat that doesn?t leak and doesn?t require much in the way of upkeep. And, because the book is clearly written and heavily illustrated with hundreds of drawings and hundreds of photographs, this lovely boat will look as though your stock in trade is indeed that of ?boatbuilder?. How is this truly possible? The devil is in the details. Boat carpenter John Brooks is a picky guy--a trait you want in your teacher: he's a builder who abhors bits of epoxy messing-up a nice long clean planking line. He's going to show you so many techniques for ?getting it right? your head will almost spin. From his unique building jig and clamping system to his masking techniques, you?re on your way to the land of craftsmanship. Several years from now when your out for your thousandth row and you lean forward on the oars pausing to just look at the boat, we?ll bet you?ll still smile at the sight. John knows your attention to detail in the building stage will pay-off in spades for years and years to come, and that line-up of planks, the way it all fits makes the difference. Read the book, use the index to quickly find all those bits of information, and sharpen your tools because you?ve just sharpened your mind. John Brooks spends his summers teaching boatbuilding, and his winters building boats. Co-authoring the book is John's wife Ruth Ann Hill, who when not helping to build boats, is plying her writer trade. You'll benefit from her ability to clearly and concisely convert the physical building processes into words.

On the surface, choosing the correct propeller for a particular boat seems simple. But one factor affects another, which then affects another factor, leading many boaters to believe that propeller selection depends more on black magic than logic.All the questions are answered in this complete reference, the first of its kind. This clear, easy-to-use handbook for all small boats is written not for Ph.D.s seeking the latest wrinkle in high-tech propeller design, but as a practical aid for the average mechanic, engineer, boatbuilder, fleet operator, serious yachtsman, or naval architect.

"This superb book does for fungi what Audubon did for birds and Freud for the psyche," wrote the "New Haven Register," "Time Magazine" called it "Fascinating" in a lead review. The little-known kingdom of fungi is revealed as never before or since-from the potato blight to the hallucinogenic mushroom, the bread mold that produced penicillin and the prized truffle. "Mushrooms, Molds, and Miracles" proves that a book about fungi can be compulsively readable. Sales soared the moment it reached the bookstores, and it has become a classic. Hard to put down, it is exciting from beginning to end.
