Michigan Books

This thick guide book itself gave me insight into what I had found already, with it's explanations of laws of inheritance. With relevant web addresses and even support on the author's website, this was well worth the money.

Have just finished reading the book, "Michigan Governors: Their Life Stories." What an excellent piece of writing and research! The more I read, the more I enjoyed the book!...Your style of writing and your research makes not only delightful reading but such in depth understanding of the subject. 'Am getting the other two companion works, "Michigan Governors Growing Up" and "First Ladies of Michigan."

This Directory was published by the Michigan Holistic Health Association at a time when alternative health care was little known and difficult to locate. There were three editions, 1982,1984, and 1986. The phenomeNEWS has produced subsequent editions.

Directory editor Dan Butts has recently published "How Corporations Hurt Us All: Saving our Rights, Democracy, Institutions and Our Future", Trafford Publications, 2003. It includes a chapter on the conditions of both general and alternative health care.

While doing research for our local VFW, my husband found the following books quite helpful in getting information regarding prisoners of war, Michigan's involvement in the war, and the Michigan Sharpshooters (Indian). There were many more books involved, but this could turn into a very long review.The Civil War: Strange & Fascinating FactsGreat Maps of the Civil War: Pivotal Battles and Campaigns Featuring 32 Removable Maps (Museum in a Book, 2)Sharpshooters of the American Civil War 1861-65 (Warrior)Mary Chesnut's Civil WarLife and Death in Civil War Prisons: The Parallel Torments of Corporal John Wesly Minnich, C.S.A. and Sergeant Warren Lee Goss, U.S.A.Life and Death in Civil War Prisons: The Parallel [[ASIN:1426461704 The American Indian as Participant in the Civil WarPortals to Hell: The Military Prisons of the Civil WarTorments of Corporal John Wesly Minnich, C.S.A. and Sergeant Warren Lee Goss, U.S.A.]]He was very pleased with the information gleaned from these books.

It's a good book to look at. There are quite a few paragraphs of information also. This book is not for finding lights.
John Penrod has done photos for postcards, calendars, books, and
even placemats. I own several of these items.

With the constant change in media law this is an excellent book for both students and working journalists. The book offers an excellent overview of current law and helps the non-lawyer understand what can be a complicated topic. With more legal decisions and legislation affecting the work of media, this is an excellent book to have in the newsroom, as well for use in the classroom. The authors are some of the best in business and known throughout Michigan and the country in news media circles.

The author is obviously a lover of the movie theatre of days past. Will we see their like again? Like him, I grew up in Michigan when these theatres (like him, I'll use the spelling used in their heyday) were still around. Fortunately, some few still are.

this book was a gift for my parents who traveled to Michigan and enjoyed their trip imensely, they got to reminise about all the amazing places that they visited. They were very excited about recieving the book.

This isn't just a print-out from a database but a comprehensive compendium of all proposed and operated common carrier and private rail lines in the state including street railways and lumbering roads and more.

Contents include,
1)Introduction to Michigan Railroads (nice and short),
2)List of Companies (much more than just a list!),
3)Corporate Family Trees,
4)Chronology of Corporate Actions,
5)Corporate Actions by Year, and
6)County Listing of Companies.

I found only one road not listed - the Beaver Island Lumber Company.

Not only a great reference but interesting to read.
