I received several interesting ones that you will be seeing in the future. The winner, though, came from our webmaster. Here's his blurb: "While several of us here at Eisenbrauns enjoy the novelty of walking on water (the ice on Winona Lake is still half a foot thick) we long for Spring and the chance to get out in our boats. So, with that in mind, we present 12 titles related to boats and sailing. There's a broad range here, from discus- sions of Noah and the great Flood to underwater archaeology and ship design."
