Lucille Ball & Desi Arnaz They Weren’t Lucy & Ricky Ricardo BY DARWIN PORTER AND DANFORTH PRINCE

“Marriage is okay, but adultery is more fun. Just ask Lucy.” —Desi Arnaz From 1951 through 1956, I Love Lucy was the most-watched show in television. Its episodes are currently being colorized in an attempt to lure new generations of 21st-Century consumers. Its launch was as rocky as the marriage of the real-life stars, and their marriage was characterized by violent fights and long separations, though it staggered along for two traumatic decades. Desi’s obsession with sex became legendary. He seduced every prostitute in Polly Adler’s infamous New York City whorehouse. In Hollywood, Lana Turner and Judy Garland came and went from his life, along with countless showgirls and hometown gals attending his on-the-road band shows. Meanwhile, Lucy waited for his return, occupying her nights with the son (Elliott Roosevelt) of the US president, actor/mobster George (“Black Snake”) Raft, and George Sanders, Zsa Zsa Gabor’s suicidal husband. Broderick Crawford, who desperately wanted to marry her, beat her up when she refused. Coming and going from her boudoir were—among many others—William Holden, Milton Berle, Bob Hope, Henry Fonda, Orson Welles, and Robert Mitchum. By the early 1950s, the careers of both Lucy and Desi had run out of gas. There was a lot of resistance among TV executives who objected to his Cuban accent. Nevertheless, I Love Lucy was launched and shot up in the ratings like a rocket, morphing into the most successful sitcom in TV history.

Here, consistent with Blood Moon’s other award-winning show-biz exposés, is an up-close-and-personal overview of the “stories behind the stories” of the Ricardos in tantalizing, carefully documented detail. Film historian Darwin Porter is the most prolific author of show-biz biographies in the world.

JOHN HUNT/CHRONOS BOOKS 8 Biography/History/True Crime

Details Are Unprintable BY ALLAN LEVINE

The narrative of Details Are Unprintable primarily unfolds over a seven-month period from October 1943 to April 1944—from the moment the body of twenty- two-year old Patricia Burton Lonergan is discovered in the bedroom of her New York City Beekman Hill apartment, to the arrest of her husband of two years, Wayne Lonergan, for her murder, and his subsequent trial and conviction. But it is also the chronicle of Lonergan in denial as a bisexual or gay man living in an intolerant and morally superior heterosexual world; and Patricia, rich and entitled, who loved a night out on the town —all set against the fast pace of New York’s ostentatious Café Society and Broadway gay bars. Part true crime and part social history of New York City in the 1940s, readers will be transported to such popular spots as the Stork Club, 21 Club, and El Morocco to experience with Patricia a night of drinking champagne cocktails and dancing; and the muggy New York courtroom where Lonergan’s fate was decided. What truly happened on that tragic night in October 24, 1943? Should Lonergan’s confession be accepted at face value as the jury did? Or, was he indeed a victim of physical and mental abuse by the state prosecutors and the police? These and other key questions will be considered and answers offered. Allan Levine is an award-winning internationally selling author and historian based in Winnipeg, Canada. He has written thirteen books including Toronto: Biography of City (2014) and King: William Lyon Mackenzie King: A Life Guided by the Hand of Destiny (2011), which won the Alexander Kennedy Isbister Award for Non-Fiction. His book, Coming of Age: A History of the Jewish People of Manitoba (2009 won the McNally-Robinson Book of the Year and the Best History Book Award at the Canadian Jewish Book Awards in 2010, and was the co-winner of the J.I.

The Hidden Hindenburg The Untold Story of the Tragedy, the Nazi Secrets, and the Quest to Rule the Skies BY MICHAEL MCCARTHY

By the author of Ashes Under Water (Lyons, 2014), here is one of the great untold stories of World War II. The Hidden Hindenburg at last reveals the cause of aviation’s most famous disaster and the duplicity that kept the truth from coming to light for three generations. It finally catches up with a German legend who mislead the world about the Hindenburg to bury his own Nazi connections. Drawing on previously unpublished documents from archives in America and Germany, this definitive account reveals how the Hindenburg was connected to the Dachau concentration camp, a futuristic German rocket that terrified the Allies, and a classified project that imported Nazi scientists to America after the war. Michael McCarthy worked for twenty-two years for The Wall Street Journal, as a reporter and editor in New York and Chicago. In 2014, he published Ashes Under Water: The SS Eastland and the Shipwreck That Shook America (Lyons Press). That nonfiction work brought to life a tragedy in which more than 800 people, mostly poor women and children, perished when a steamship capsized. The book hit the New York Times e-book bestseller list in the summer of 2015. He has been interviewed by NPR affiliates and ABC TV, among other media outlets. His Eastland book sparked a documentary film, Eastland: Chicago’s Deadliest Day, forthcoming on PBS.

Colonel Hamilton and Colonel Burr The Revolutionary War Lives of Alexander Hamilton and Aaron Burr BY ARTHUR S. LEFKOWITZ

The final meeting of Alexander Hamilton and Aaron Burr took place on the banks of the Hudson in 1804. Their first was in 1776 during the American defense of New York City. Their wartime experiences shaped their lives and contributed to the fraying of the friendship that ended in the famous duel. Colonel Hamilton and Colonel Burr recounts the dramatic Revolutionary War service of Alexander Hamilton and Aaron Burr.

The war helped turn Burr into an outsider: his early mentor and patron General Richard Montgomery died in battle, and Burr failed to secure a place on Washington’s staff, despite valorous service at New York, New Jersey, Valley Forge, and Monmouth. Ever ambitious, he would live the rest of his life on the fringes of greatness. Hamilton, thanks in large part to his relationship with Washington forged during the war, would enter the pantheon of the country’s Founding Fathers.

The Revolutionary War remains an important source of the Hamilton-Burr conflict, and Lefkowitz explores their roles vividly and traces the war through their later careers and conflicts. Arthur S. Lefkowitz is an independent historian whose previous books are Eyewitness Images from the American Revolution, Benedict Arnold in the Company of Heroes: The Lives of the Extraordinary Patriots Who Followed Arnold to Canada at the Start of the American Revolution, American Turtle Submarine: The Best-Kept Secret of the American Revolution, Benedict Arnold’s Army: The 1775 American Invasion of Canada during the Revolutionary War, Bushnell’s Submarine, George Washington’s Indispensable Men, and The Long Retreat: The Calamitous Defense September 2020 • History/Revolutionary Period (1775-1800) of New Jersey, 1776.

How to Think Like an Officer Lessons in Learning and Leadership for Soldiers and Citizens BY REED BONADONNA

The U.S. military develops its leaders, at the service academies and in ROTC programs, through very specific but also broad and deep education—a way of thinking that also has wide application in the civilian world, not only in various professional fields that need leaders and thinkers, but also among military history enthusiasts who want to understand how officers have thought across time and among American citizens who want to understand how our military leaders think, how they advise presidents, how they lead on the battlefield. In a genre-busting book that spans Stackpole’s two longstanding military programs—reference and history—Reed Bonadonna describes how officers think, how they ought to think, how they develop their skills, and how they can improve these skills, as well as how civilians and citizens can learn from the example of military officers and their program of education. Bonadonna draws from military history, from military arts and science, from literature and science and more, to show how officers develop their critical-thinking and problem-solving skills. Reed Bonadonna is a graduate of the Virginia Military Institute, Clark University, and Boston University, with continuing education in leadership completed at Harvard’s Kennedy School. He served in the U.S. Marine Corps from 1979 to 1988 as a training officer and instructor, and was deployed for peacekeeping in Lebanon. In the Marine Reserve he served as field historian in Iraq, instructor, career planner, and company commander. Since then, he has taught at Franklin Pierce College, Marine Corps Command and Staff College, Norwich University, U.S. Merchant Marine Academy, John Jay College, and Carnegie Council for Ethics in International Affairs.

Empire The Pioneer Legacy of an American Ranch Family BY JEFFERSON GLASS

A collage of characters shaped the West of the nineteenth century. Martin Gothberg wisely invested in the future of the young frontier. Starting with a humble 160-acre homestead in 1885, he continued to expand and develop a modest ranch that eventually included tens of thousands of acres of deeded land. Martin Gothberg’s story parallels the history of open range cattle ranches, cowboys, roundups, homesteaders, rustlers, sheep men and range wars. As the Second Industrial Revolution escalated in the late 1800s, so did the demand for petroleum products. What began with a demand for beef to feed the hungry cities of the eastern United States fostered the demand for wool to clothe them and oil to warm them in winter and fuel the mechanized age of the twentieth century. All were a critical part of shaping American history. The history of the West comes to life through the lens of this family saga. Jefferson Glass relocated to central Wyoming from Oregon in 1981. He was the founder and former chair of the Evansville Historical Commission, a Certified Local Government (CLG) for the town of Evansville, Wyoming. He later served on the board of directors for the Cadoma Foundation, a non-profit historic preservation organization based in Casper, Wyoming. He is a relentless researcher with specific interests in the Rocky Mountain and Northern Plains regions of the United States. He has written several articles for Annals of Wyoming, True West Magazine and WyoHistory.org. Mr. Glass’s 2014 book, Reshaw: The Life and Times of John Baptiste Richard, was awarded best non-fiction book by the Wyoming Historical Society in 2014 and received the prestigious Spur Award for best first non-fiction book from Western November 2020 • History/United States/State & Local/West 272 Pages • 38 B/W Photos • 6 x 9 Writers of America in 2015. 978-1-4930-4836-6 • $26.95 • Cloth • [Trade] TWODOT Also Available:

Electoral Bait and Switch How the Electoral College Hurts American Voters and What Can be Done About it BY BILL PETROCELLI

It’s a system that now fosters massive inequality in voting rights and opens the door to manipulation of presidential elections by foreign and domestic enemies of democracy. Electoral Bait & Switch is prescriptive, and accessible to the general reader. The current Electoral-Vote system presents a severe and growing threat to democracy in the United States. It has thwarted the will of a majority of the voters twice in the last five presidential elections (2000 and 2016) by elevating to office a candidate who received only a minority of the vote. This system is a distortion of the system envisioned by Alexander Hamilton, James Madison and the other framers of the Constitution. If it is not challenged and overturned, we are likely to face a continual series of electoral and constitutional crises. The constitutional right of Americans to an equal vote in presidential elections is being violated by this system on a massive scale. The value of an individual vote varies as much as three-to-one from state to state, and there are no two states where voters have the same voting-power. The current Elector system discriminates heavily against minority and poorer voters. The winner-take-all method of allocating Electoral votes also results in large pockets of “useless votes” and a system in which where you vote counts for far more than how you vote. Most ominously, evidence is now clear that the Electoral-Vote system has opened the door for voter suppression and manipulation of elections by domestic and foreign conspirators.

The Art of Pulp Horror An Illustrated History EDITED BY STEPHEN JONES

So often associated with cheapness and low quality, pulp fiction and filmmaking have influenced the way we live for more than a century. Many respected authors and artists worked for the pulp and paperback markets, while films made for the low budget or youth markets are now rightly regarded as classics as they continue to inspire the movies and television we watch today. Profusely illustrated with more than 800 rare and unique images from around the world—including book and magazine covers, interior illustrations, movie posters, comic books, promotional items, tie-ins, and previously unpublished artwork commissioned especially for this book—this handsome volume charts the history of escapist horror and the individuals who created it. Compiled by multiple award–winning writer and editor Stephen Jones, and with a foreword by prolific and acclaimed author Robert Silverberg, this visual history brings together insightful and revelatory commentary from some of the genre’s most highly esteemed experts. The Art of Pulp Horror is a stunning and informative guide to how, for over 100 years, we have enthusiastically embraced and exploited the gratuitous and the gory into our popular culture. STEPHEN JONES is a Hugo Award nominee and the winner of three World Fantasy Awards, three International Horror Guild Awards, four Bram Stoker Awards, twenty-one British Fantasy Awards, and a Lifetime Achievement Award from the World Horror Association. One of Britain’s most acclaimed horror and dark fantasy writers and editors, he has more than 130 books to his credit. He lives in London.

Janet Langhart Cohen's Anne & Emmett A One-Act Play BY JANET LANGHART COHEN

Janet Langhart Cohen's Anne & Emmett is an imaginary conversation between Anne Frank and Emmett Till, both victims of racial intolerance and hatred. Frank is the thirteen-year-old Jewish girl whose diary provided a gripping perspective of the Holocaust. Till is the fourteen-year-old African-American boy whose brutal murder in Mississippi sparked the modern American civil rights movement. The one-act play opens with the two teenagers meeting in memory, a place that isolates them from the cruelty they experienced during their lives. The beyond- the-grave encounter draws the startling similarities between the two youths’ harrowing experiences at the hands of societies that couldn’t protect them. In memory, Anne recounts hiding in a cramped attic with her family after German dictator Adolf Hitler ordered the Nazi military to round up Jewish people throughout Europe, and put them in concentration camps in route to gas chambers. At the age of fifteen, Anne died of typhus at the Bergen-Belsen Nazi concentration camp in March 1945, a few weeks before British troops liberated the camp. Emmett tells Anne how he, in 1955, ended up being brutally attacked by two white racists who beat and tortured him before shooting him in the head and tossing his body into the Tallahatchie River with a cotton-gin fan tied to his neck. This happened after he whistled at a white woman while visiting his uncle in Money, Mississippi. Janet Langhart Cohen is an award-winning playwright, and journalist who grew up in a segregated housing project in Indianapolis, Indiana, and went on to enjoy a Trade Edition career in modeling, television, and public service as the nation’s “First Lady of the Pentagon.” The National Association of Women Judges presented her with “The October 2020 • Performing Arts/Drama Lady Justice Award” for artistic integrity in writing Anne & Emmett. 104 Pages • 25 Color Photos • 5¼ x 7¾ 978-1-4930-5255-4 • $16.95 • Paper • [Trade]

Tumult! The Incredible Life and Music of Tina Turner BY DONALD BRACKETT

The narrative of Tumult! The Incredible Life and Music of Tina Turner is an extended exploration of the magical transformation of shy country girl Anna Mae Bullock into the boisterous force of nature we know today as Tina Turner. This is creative alchemy in action: turning into Turner is actually also the captivating tale of someone who was already precociously there, a stellar talent just waiting to emerge and grab the global spotlight. Far from the early myths attached to her name by association with her talented but tormenting producer-husband, she was not a Svengali-like creation at all, but rather a fully formed, if vulnerable, young musical prodigy who was going to burst out of the creative shell imposed upon her one way or the other. Even though it took sixteen years to do so, her second career as a solo pop artist is the achievement for which she is rightly remembered. In Turner, we have a case study in triumph over adversity and sheer creative will power: singer, songwriter, dancer, actress, feminist icon. Often referred to as the Queen of Rock and Roll, she has sold over two hundred million records and sold more live concert tickets than any other solo performer in history. In 2019, she celebrated her eighieth birthday and was also lionized in the live Broadway version of her incredible life story, Tina: The Musical, starring Adrienne Warren. In Tumult!, we unearth and examine what uncanny skills enabled her to connect with so many people at such a deep heart-to-heart level. She is, in fact, a beating human heart in high heels. Donald Brackett is a Vancouver-based culture journalist who writes about music, art, and films, as well as curating film programs for Cinematheque.

Hold On World The Lasting Impact of John Lennon and Yoko Ono’s Plastic Ono Band, Fifty Years On BY JOHN KRUTH

Hold On World revisits Lennon and Ono’s love affair and startling collaborations. John Lennon’s Plastic Ono Band was arguably the most emotionally honest album ever made. It wasn’t merely another record but more like a sonic exorcism, a spiritual, public bloodletting. Lennon’s album drove a stake through the heart of the Beatles’ myth while confronting everything else in John’s life, from Dylan to God to his glorified status as a “Working Class Hero.” Determined to rid himself of childhood traumas—abandoned by his father, John, at age nine, watched helplessly as his mother was killed by a car—Lennon wrote the most powerful song cycle of his career, confronting fear, disappointment, and illusion, all the while espousing his love for Yoko Ono. Released simultaneously, Ono’s album Yoko Ono/Plastic Ono Band is emotionally raw and challenging. It inspired bands like the B-52s and Yo La Tengo to employ pure sound, whether shrieking vocals or guitar feedback, to express their deepest feelings. John Kruth is the author of three musical biographies, including To Live’s to Fly: The Ballad of the Late, Great Townes Van Zandt (recipient of the ASCAP/Deems Taylor Award; DaCapo Press, 2007), and Rhapsody in Black: The Life and Music of Roy Orbison (Backbeat Books, 2013). In 2015, Backbeat published Kruth’s fiftieth anniversary celebration of the Beatles’ Rubber Soul, This Bird Has Flown. His latest book, A Friend of the Devil: The Glorification of the Outlaw in Song, from Robin Hood to Rap, was published in September 2017 by Backbeat. Kruth’s writing has appeared in The New York Times, Rolling Stone, Wire (UK), The Observer (NYC), No Depression, Rave (India) Wax Poetics, and Folk Roots (UK).

Depeche Mode FAQ All That’s Left to Know About the World’s Finest Synth-Pop Band BY MICHAEL CHRISTOPHER

The preeminent synth-pop outfit for four decades, Depeche Mode have endured an ever-shifting musical landscape, rising above fads and battles with personal demons, somehow managing to retain a hold on the charts and the audience, the latter which continues to grow as new generations discover them and become “devotees.” Depeche Mode FAQ: All That’s Left to Know About the World’s Finest Synth-Pop Band shows how a group of schoolmates influenced by the likes of Kraftwerk, Joy Division, and mid-period David Bowie carved out their own musical niche until they became one of the most influential bands to come out of England. Depeche Mode were Europe’s best-kept secret in the early ‘80s with the albums Construction Time Again and the—perhaps—tongue-in-cheek-titled Music for the Masses. They became a worldwide phenomenon as the ‘90s dawned, with the landmark LP Violator, containing the smash hits “Personal Jesus,” “Enjoy the Silence,” and “Policy of Truth.” But success came at a price as depression, alcoholism, drug addiction, and personnel departures threatened to derail the band. It wasn’t a question of whether the music of Depeche Mode would be able to withstand fickle industry changes, but rather if the members of the group themselves could make it out alive. Depeche Mode FAQ shows how they did, becoming legends in the process. Michael Christopher is a writer and music journalist. A senior writer for the online music magazine Vanyaland, where he was a founding member and later managing editor, he contributes regularly to Ultimate Classic Rock, Loudwire, and LA Weekly.

John Lewis has spent forty years assembling this rare collection of all fifty-five of Frank Benson’s etchings in the hunting and fishing genre. The strength and subtlety of the pieces show off Benson’s mastery of technique and artistry.

For subject matter for the etchings he chose his pastime passions, hunting and fishing. The book fully documents the etchings, how they were created, their focus/subjects, background and provenance, including their sale at auction. In the world of art, it is generally held that Benson will be best remembered for his etched work. John R. Lewis taught at Florida State University for twenty-five years and was in business for the next thirty. An upland hunter and fisherman, he is a major collector of Frank Benson’s etchings.

A Living Islamic City Fez and Its Preservation BY TITUS BURCKHARDT, EDITED BY JEAN-LOUIS MICHON AND JOSEPH A. FITZGERALD, TRANSLATED BY JANE CASEWIT

The Moroccan city of Fez, founded in the ninth century CE, is one of the most precious urban jewels of Islamic civilization. For more than forty years Titus Burckhardt worked to document and preserve the artistic and architectural heritage of Fez in particular and Morocco in general. These newly translated lectures, delivered while Burckhardt was living and working in Fez, explore how the historic city can be preserved without turning it from a living organism into a dead museum-city, and how it can be adapted and updated using the values that gave birth to the city and its way of life. Aided by photographs and sketches made during the course of his lifetime, Burckhardt conveys what it means to be a living Islamic city. Titus Burckhardt (1908-1984) was a leading member of the “Traditionalist” school of comparative religious thought and an expert on Islam, Islamic arts and crafts, and its spiritual dimension, Sufism. The great-nephew of the famous art-historian Jacob Burckhardt, he lived for many years in Fez, Morocco and was an integral part of the Moroccan government’s successful preservation of the ancient medina of Fez as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1981. In 1999 the Moroccan government sponsored an international symposium in Marrakesh in honor of Burckhardt’s distinguished work. His writings include Fez: City of Islam and Art of Islam. Jean-Louis Michon (1924-2013) was a “Traditionalist” writer, editor, translator, Arabist, and artistic consultant who specialized in Islam in North Africa, Islamic art, and Sufism. From 1972-1980 Michon was Chief Technical Adviser to a series of joint programs by UNESCO, the UN Development Program, and the Moroccan government aimed at the preservation of traditional September 2020 • Architecture/Historic Preservation arts and crafts.

Broken Shards of Time BY NYAH NICHOL

Gold Winner, “Uncommon Quest for a Great Canadian Children’s Novel.” Wren Derecho is the lone survivor of a mysterious accident that took the lives of her parents. As Wren tries to navigate through the pain of grief and loss, she crosses paths with three other individuals and soon realizes that something beyond coincidence has intertwined their lives together. Each of their journeys are marked by immense tragedy, fate, a time machine, and a mysterious power source that seems to be alive . . . and not from this world. From the perspective of these four characters, you’ll find the heartbeat of the story lies within the growth of love, trust and friendship developed from adventure, adversity and a common mission: to rescue their friend and save their city from an unseen yet familiar force. Wren and her team quickly discover that the hero of any story can easily become the villain. She’s about to face her greatest enemy—her future self. Nyah Nichol was born and raised in Cold Lake, Alberta, Canada, and attends the local high school. Her hobbies include reading, drawing, and crocheting. She has three younger siblings who can be annoying at times, but sweet and awesome the rest of the time. She has a mom and dad who love her very much and support her in everything she does.

Let That Sh*t Go Find Peace of Mind and Happiness in Your Everyday BY NINA PUREWAL AND KATE PETRIW

Life is stressful. But it doesn’t have to be. It’s no wonder you can’t calm down: your to-do list is as long as your arm, your bank balance keeps dropping, you feel guilty for not calling your parents more often and there always seems to be a big deadline to meet at work. You need a serious breather—but you can barely find time to shower, let alone to exercise or meditate. In Let That Sh*t Go, Kate Petriw and Nina Purewal share the wisdom they’ve gained though decades of practicing and teaching others to find peace of mind no matter how busy they are. Learn to put your life in perspective, take each day one step at a time and steal moments of calm amid the chaos. And remember: it’s not worth holding onto that sh*t. Nina Purewal faced an unexpected childhood tragedy which inspired her mindfulness and meditation journey twenty years ago. After climbing the corporate ladder for nearly a decade, she took a year sabbatical and moved to California to unplug and continue her pursuit for happiness. It’s been her greatest passion to help others find peace amidst the busyness and chaos. With that, she founded Pure Minds a company that conducts mindfulness and meditation workshops for the public and corporate sector. Kate Petriw is the founder of Mind Matters, an organization that holds mental health workshops focused on reducing stress and negative thinking patterns to inspire happiness. She first came across mindfulness and meditation five years ago while trying to resolve unchecked stress, sparked by the corporate grind.

Raising Resilient Children with a Borderline or Narcissistic Parent BY MARGALIS FJELSTAD AND JEAN MCBRIDE

Being partnered with a narcissist or borderline personality can be hard enough, but learning how to shield children from the fallout is paramount. Here, the authors show readers how to manage parenting when a narcissistic or borderline partner is part of the equation. Life in a narcissistic family system is at best challenging, and too often filled with chaos, isolation, emotional outbursts, and rigid controlling behaviors. It is too often devoid of peace and emotional safety. In the worst outcomes, children in these families grow up with low self-worth, issues with trust and belonging, and a lack of self-compassion. They are at significant risk of carrying the cycle forward and having poor adult relationships. This book offers a way to intervene and disrupt the cycle of negative outcomes for children. Written by two family therapists who bring a combined total of sixty years of clinical practice with individuals and families, the book pulls no punches, giving clear-headed advice, easy to follow actions to help children, and an abundance of teaching examples. Instead of the doom and gloom scenarios often presented about life with a narcissist or borderline, this book provides a much more positive outlook, and most importantly, it offers hope and a path to an entirely different outcome for the family members. Supported by current research in neuroscience, mindfulness and parenting information, the book focuses on teaching resilience and self- compassion to raise emotionally healthy children, even in a narcissistic family system.

The Ski Guide Manual BY ROB COPPOLILLO FOREWORD BY COLIN ZACHARIAS

Backcountry/off-piste skiing is the fastest growing segment of the snow-sports industry; faster than resort skiing, snowboarding, snowshoeing, or Nordic skiing. Yet, it’s been more than 10 years since anyone published an updated, high-end backcountry ski guide. With The Ski Guide Manual, the authors have combined decades of experience guiding and have developed a successful system of travel and risk management in the winter environment. The collective work of thousands of mountain guides have proven how to have the most fun and find the best snow, all which reducing risk of avalanche, cold, crevasses, and optimize group dynamics. Rob Coppolillo was among the first 100 Americans to earn international certification in mountain guiding. He co-authored The Mountain Guide Manual and has published hundreds of magazine articles in Climbing, Skiing, and Elevation Outdoors. Rob guides throughout North America and Europe, on skis, on rock, and in the high mountains. He lives in Boulder, Colorado.

Snow A History of the World’s Most Fascinating Flake BY ANTHONY R. WOOD

The complete story of snow, this is the first book to fully examine snow as a historical, cultural, and scientific phenomenon.From “Winter Wonderland” to “Snowmageddon,” we’ve had a long, love-hate relationship with snow. This entertaining look at snow in all its delightful and fearsome manifestations delves into science, history, economics, and popular culture to examine snow’s enduring hold on the imagination. Through profiles and anecdotes, the author discusses the reactions throughout history to snowfall. Snow, beautiful and magical, was sometimes considered one of nature’s blessings. But then it was also a nuisance needing to be managed and moved, and worse, a terrifying, sometimes-crippling catastrophe to be battled. Blizzards and high-volume snowfall presented a serious obstacle to progress, travel, growth, and industry.Readers will learn about the making and removing of snow, the psychology of winter, and the history of snow in literature, art, and popular culture. The author also summarizes the current scientific understanding of major winter weather events and what is known about the complex interplay between the jet stream and the Gulf Stream. Despite sophisticated computer modeling, accurate forecasting is still a challenge.Finally, the book considers the impact of global warming on snowfall and the potential for causing a water crisis in the West and major losses in the winter recreation industry. Whether you look forward to months on the ski slopes or loathe the effects of winter on your daily commute, you’ll come away from this book with a new appreciation for this amazing and important natural phenomenon.

A Vulture Landscape Twelve Months in Extremadura BY IAN PARSONS

A Vulture Landscape is more than just a book about vultures, in the same way that these majestic flyers are more than just birds. Vultures are a crucial part of many of the world’s ecosystems, and without these specialist environmental cleansers the ecosystems wouldn’t work properly. A calendar year in the lives of these gargantuan raptors is explored as they live, breed, feed and fly with effortless ease across the skies of the vulture landscape that is Extremadura in central Spain. There are four species of vulture in Europe, and a fifth that is becoming more of a regular visitor as its own global population plummets. The serious conservation issues faced on a day-to-day basis by these species, and their relatives spread across the globe, are explored, issues that in many cases threaten their very survival. However, this book is a celebration of the vulture and the landscape in which it reigns. Using the latest science, his keen eye and his passion for the birds themselves, the author takes the reader on a journey, introducing readers to the vultures, their lives and their landscape. Along the way, much of the other wonderful wildlife of the vulture landscape, from exotic Bee-eaters and bewitching Montagu’s Harriers to rutting Red Stags, are included. Ian explains how watching vultures is not only addictive, but that it can often lead to vulture gazing, surely the most relaxing form of bird watching there is! With his fine descriptions, readers can enter the world of the vulture, get to know these brilliant birds, learn how they control diseases, why some species have bald necks, and how they have mastered the art of flying without expending any energy. The author has spent several years living permanently in Extremadura and now splits his time between his native county of Devon and his beloved vulture landscape, where he leads bird tours introducing people to the birds and the area he clearly loves.

How Palm Beach Evolved Over 150 Years from Wilderness to Wonderland An Illustrated History of Palm Beach is a nostalgic journey through the history of Palm Beach as told through the photographic collection of the Historical Society of Palm Beach County. Palm Beach has transformed over 150 years from an early pioneer settlement into a sophisticated resort community punctuated by the luxurious hotels of Henry Flagler—the Royal Poinciana and the Breakers—and elegant Gilded-Age mansions. This extraordinary collection of photographs and other primary materials helpd by the historical society paints a portrait of one of America’s most prosperous and enchanting communities. Born in Palm Beach, Russell Kelley returned to his hometown after a career spent living abroad. The changes in Palm Beach ignited his desire to learn how his hometown evolved from the sleepy town of his youth into the sophisticated resort of today. This curiosity led to his research with the Historical Society of Palm Beach County resulting in an Illustrated History of Palm Beach. After the Historical Society of Palm Beach County was formed in 1937, West Palm Beach attorney A. Stanley Bussey donated a vintage black-and-white photograph of an island street scene to the new organization, the first gift to what would become a remarkable collection of artifacts and documents representing the cultures and communities, failures and successes of life in Palm Beach County.

Illustrated Catalogue of Drawing Instruments Architects and Engineers Materials BY MR JOHN LYLES

Originally developed in 1993 for an auction of an Architect's private collection of over 1,500 drawing instruments and calculators, this extensive book is one of a few comprehensive references available for comparative study of these instruments. The original collection was assembled over a twelve year period from sources in the US and Europe. Each instrument is listed in a scientific format for comparative evaluation and identification. An abbreviations table supports this approach, along with 113 color photos and 61 highly organized text pages. The Subject Index has over 400 individual references dissecting this impressive collective of instruments from the 18th century through the mid-20th century. Instruments are categorized by Maker, Country, Period of Manufacture and Function. Different instrument makers and suppliers are referenced to over 300 individual items. The four page table of contents provides a logical and extremely useful subjective summary of the catalog contents so that whatever the instrument or drawing tool, its location can be easily found. The photographs were taken with the idea of showing these important instruments in a comparative array. Researchers and collectors will find this a valuable resource. These instruments represent a most prolific period of time in our history of invention and advancements in technology. Computers are the new tools which demand a new pace of design and documentation. They leave behind the centuries of drawing instruments that were the connection from the hand to the paper.
