Robert M. Sanford’s ‘Field Guide’ describes the marks left by humans across New England.

And much of the planning that drives the fast-paced plot takes place in an Old Port bar.

The plot pits reason against religion, imagination against order, and genies against puny humans.

The writer will talk about his new Pono Hawkins thriller, “Killing Maine.”

She’ll discuss her book, ‘The Invention of Nature: Alexander Von Humboldt’s New World,’ at the Strand Theatre.

Phil Crossman has condensed more than a century’s worth of writings (including his own) from the island’s newsletters into ‘Observations,’ a rich read indeed.

Although the novelist gets Maine’s largest city wrong, he succeeds in capturing the man and his Civil War era.
