Sorry, but we don't have any bookstore events scheduled right now.

Check out the other events coming up at the HMSC - and be sure to drop by during Spring Whale Watch Week, March 22-29, for books and other resources about whales!

A world of marine adventure waits just beyond the bookstore.

Books by recent guest authors:

Washed Up: The Curious Journeys of Flotsam and Jetsam
Skye Moody
Sasquatch Books (2006)
ISBN-13: 9781570614637

Where does it all come from? From tennis shoes, gold doubloons, and rubber ducks to ambergris, seedpods, and dead whales, the ocean gives up many curious prizes. In Washed Up, author Skye Moody walks the coast, dons her wet suit, and heads out to sea to understand the mysterious debris that accrues along the tide line. She finds advanced military technology applied to locating buried Rolexes, hardcore competitive beachcombing conventions, isolated beach communities, and learns about the Pacific Garbage Patch, a 200-mile swirl of current that holds everything from car parts to basketballs to kilos of heroin.

Extreme Nature
Bill Curtsinger
White Star (2005)
ISBN: 8854400785

National Geographic photographer Bill Curtsinger takes us to locations around the globe, from the North to the South Poles, where he reveals in amazing detail the lives of elusive water creatures-some never before photographed - and those that are ubiquitous but rarely observed close up.

H0tel Deep
Kurt Cyrus
Harcourt Children's Books (April 1, 2005)
ISBN: 0152167714

Take a plunge into the strange, surprising depths of this world inside the sea. In twenty-one wet and witty poems, Kurt Cyrus follows a lone sardine in search of its lost school within the dark halls of a great coral reef.

From a devious stonefish and a slippery sea snake to a blowfish with attitude and a line of goose-stepping lobsters, here is a realm awash with the weird and the wondrous, the comical and the spooky. No matter how long your stay, this is one hotel you won't want to leave.
