Chasing Shadows is for anyone who has ever been an enthusiastic fan of a rock band or anything else. Part memoir, part history and part detective story, it is sometimes funny, sometimes moving, but always compelling. In the end, the question remains: whatever happened to Deep Purple lead singer Rod Evans and where is he now?

Chasing Shadows: The Search for Rod Evans

Lewis R. Fischer

This book is a collection of ten essays concerning various aspects of ports, port towns, and port history, by means of tribute to the maritime historian, Gordon Jackson. The volumes begins with an appreciation of Gordon Jackson's career, and concludes with a bibliography of his published work. The first four essays concern British ports - Hull, Liverpool, and Dumfries in particular - and the remaining six concern international ports - a wide range stretching across the ports of Fremantle, Yokohama, Dubai, and Bremen. The essays cover topics such as politics and port management; port development throughout history; post-war port development; individual case studies; the construction of artificial ports; and port policies.
