Jersey: That Nest of Vypers by Alex Podger

A collection of 20 essays - the fruit of a lifetime's study of Jersey's history - with special reference to matters maritime, the majority of which have formed the basis of local lectures and articles in the Société's Annual Bulletin. Covering subjects as diverse as pirates, shipbuilding and the cod fisheries in Newfoundland, land reclamation and the effects of climate change, this well illustrated book in handy paperback format is a fascinating read. Fully indexed to aid the researcher.
