When a cargo ship is captured by pirates off the east coast of Africa, SEAL Team Six is called into action. What looks at first like a simple search and rescue turns much more perilous when the ship's cargo is revealed to be yellowcake, a critical component in nuclear weaponry. Thomas Crocker and his squad are dispatched to Libya with a clear objective: to secure the dangerous materials before terrorists can unleash nuclear havoc on the world. Hunt the Scorpion is a lightning-fast thrill ride - a bold new chapter in the Thomas Crocker SEAL Team Six adventures. It will leave readers breathless, charged, and ready for the next op.

JSA This is an exquisite book. The first flip-through reveals scores of spectacular color photos of harp or Greenland seals at various stages on their vast annual migration to and from the Gulf of St. Lawrence. Each picture by internationally acclaimed photographer Fred Bruemmer -- from the breathtaking two-page opener of a drifting iceberg to the final snapshot-size shot of a big-eyed pup -- is a gem. This is much more than a gorgeous coffee table book, though. Brian Davies' text is a delight to read -- clear, informative, sometimes humorous, often quite lyrical -- and is seamlessly interwoven with the photographs. Davies, who founded the international Fund for Animal Welfare during the sixties and helped accomplish the ban on baby seal hunting in Canada over a decade ago, tells the fascinating story of the seal's life cycle while managing to convey between the lines, without proselytizing, the need to safeguard these lovely mammals. Nor does he get smarmy. His description of the mating ritual, for instance, includes details about the deep scratches rival suitors inflict on each other along with a depiction of the sensual 'dance of love.' He tells how quickly a mother will respond to the call of her baby, and how thoroughly she will ignore a starving baby who is not her own. Granted, he anthropomorphizes shamelessly ('Near its mother the pup feels happy and secure ... ' p . 27), but who can look at the accompanying photo and deny that this is the perfect picture of comfort and bliss? Gloria Levine, Freelance Education Writer, Potomac, MD-

The Newfoundland seal hunt was based on the harp and, to a lesser extent, hood seal species. The harp and hood are hair seals valued for their skin, fat, and hair. This document presents information on the harps and hoods. It examines the origins and early development of the hunt among Native peoples and the Europeans. It looks at the seal hunt, 1793-1861 and 1862-1939; the vessel-based hunt 1862-1939; the seal hunt since 1939; and the vessel-based hunt since 1939. It also provides an update to January 1988.
