"In fall of 1980, an older husband and wife team unexpectedly arrived in my marine invertebrate zoology class. This was my introduction to Drs. Lovell and Libby Langstroth, and it led to a friendship that has grown through 20 years. In that time, beginning with their 'retirement, ' the Langstroths took up SCUBA diving and underwater photography. They became outstanding photographers of marine life. Moreover, with their insatiable desire to learn from all the marine biologists in the Monterey Bay area, they became experts in their own right. Their quest has culminated in this book, a unique combination of outstanding color photography and the most recent scientific information, presented in language that can be understood by anyone. This series of 'short stories' about some of the fascinating organisms that live in the Monterey Bay can be read and enjoyed by anyone interested in marine life."--James W. Nybakken, author of Marine Biology: An Ecological Approach "[This book] is brimming with engaging facts on the marine realm. The photographs are unparalleled in their combination of beauty and utility in capturing biologic processes. This work will be exceedingly valuable to marine educators and advanced students."--Paul Valentich Scott, Santa Barbara Museum of Natural History "With A Living Bay, Lovell and Libby Langstroth have bridged the gap between the dry, technical writing of science and the superficial treatment of most photography books on the ocean. This is a book to linger over. The authors have spent a lifetime photographing and gathering natural history notes about their subjects, gleaning a wealth of interesting details. This remarkable compendium of photographs and text promises to be a classic."--Norbert Wu, photographer, author of Splendors of the Seas

In the early nineteenth century, when the Hudson’s Bay Company sent men to its furthest posts along the coast of North America’s Pacific Northwest, the letters of those who cared for those men followed them in the Company’s supply ships. Sometimes, these letters missed their objects – the men had returned to Britain, or deserted their ships, or died. The Company returned the correspondence to its London office and over the years amassed a file of “undelivered letters.” Many of these remained sealed for 150 years and until they were opened by archivist Judith Hudson Beattie, when the Company archives were moved to Canada. These letters tell the fascinating stories of ordinary people whose lives are rarely recounted in traditional histories. Beattie and Helen M. Buss skilfully introduce us to both the lives of the letter writers and their would-be recipients. Their commentaries frame, for contemporary readers, the words of early nineteenth century working and middle class British folk as well as letters to “voyageurs” from Quebec. The stories of their lives – fathers struggling to support a family, widowed mothers yearning to see their sons, bereft sweethearts left behind, and wives raising their children alone – reach out over two centuries to offer rare insight into the varied worlds of men and women in the early nineteenth century, many of whom became settlers in Washington, Oregon, and the new British colony of Vancouver Island.
