This book has amazing pictures and is well worth owning. Not only is it packed with pictures of the different characteristics and features of this pattern, the pictures are large and bright. It is a really great reference if you love the Imperial line of lace edge or crocheted glass.

Meticulous scholarship and passionate care rekindles the best traditions of Western civilization in this remarkable treatment of Kipling as a touchstone of the hopes, possibilities, uncharted territories of governance, and human problems of the British Empire at its height. McBratney draws on critical and cultural anthropoligical publications of Kipling's day and later, up to the present, with ingenious exhaustiveness and care to identify the state of the art of civilization attained at the time, using the hopes and dreams of a number of Kipling's most striking characters to illustrate the painful nexus occupied by Kipling, the writer, poet, novelist, journalist and artist, as a touchstone of his time and place. The approach is deep and clear. In treating Kipling's work as anthropological artifact as well as thematic compendia, both synchronically and diachronically as Kipling aged, McBratney makes a contribution towards the best humanity by placing Kipling definitely in Western civilization's universalist project of creating it.

Not just for fans of the B&O, although they will definitely want this in their collection. Mr. Harwood examines all the problems that lay before those Baltimore businessmen in building a railroad from Baltimore to the Ohio River. Well researched and profusely illustrated, it shows from what seeds today's mighty railroads have grown!

Nice article. I just wrote a book on The Impostor Syndrome.

The Impostor Syndrome is the underlying feeling that you are not as smart, skilled, or talented as people think you are. It's a dread that people will find out you are faking it.

How do you know if you suffer from The Impostor Syndrome? In his book, The Impostor Syndrome: How to Replace Self-Doubt with Self-Confidence and Train Your Brain for Success, John Graden outlines some possible indicators:

1. Do you sometimes not speak up because you feel people will realize you're not as smart as they think you are?
2. Do you find it hard to accept praise?
3. Is it difficult for you to take credit for your accomplishments?
4. Do you feel like a fake and fear you are going to be found out soon?
5. Are you a perfectionist who is terrified of making a mistake?

The author of "In Darkest Hollywood" is Peter Davis

A very extensive account of the fascinating species of Ohio. First class work.

I found this book to be a very relevant and useful resource for incorporating my small computer consulting business. The author goes through the incorporation process step by step and explains how you can incorporate your own business using the exact same methods that attorneys use. The focus of the book is on incorporation, but there is also a substantial amount of information about taxes, accounting, record keeping, etc.

The best part of the book is the pull-out forms. There are tear-out forms for all of the filings and record-keeping that go along with running a corporation. All you do is fill in the information relevant to your company and file them (either with the state or in your record book) to make sure you are in compliance with the law. One whole chapter is dedicated to specifics of incorporating in Ohio.

An excellent resource to any small company!

Columbiana County was established in the year 1803-preceding the formation of all but seven Ohio counties. It was the parent county, in whole or in part, to Stark, Wayne, Carroll, and Mahoning counties in Ohio, and it lies adjacent to Beaver County, Pennsylvania; and Hancock County, West Virginia.

Narrower in scope than Mrs. Bell's prodigious index to Ohio wills above, Columbiana County, Ohio Marriages, 1800-1870 is, nonetheless, no ordinary marriage book. Since many Ohio ministers failed to file returns of marriages with the Columbiana court house and since some Columbiana couples opted to be married in neighboring Pennsylvania, where a marriage license was not required by law, Mrs. Bell did not limit her research to just official marriage bonds and returns. Instead, she broadened her pursuit of marriage "evidences" to wills and other probate records, deeds, birth and death records, and, importantly, to local newspapers, where marriage notices were frequently published. In all, the compiler devoted twenty years, off and on, to compiling the most comprehensive collection of early Columbiana County marriage records we are likely to set our eyes on.

The marriages entries themselves are laid out in a familiar format. The abstracts are arranged alphabetically according to the surname of the groom (a separate index to brides and other persons named in the abstracts may be found at the back of the book). Then follows the maiden name of the bride and the date of the marriage. In many cases, the abstracts also provide the name of the person who performed the ceremony, the site of the marriage, the home town and/or age of the bride and/or groom, and other details. In all, Mrs. Bell has produced a compilation of more than 6,000 marriage entries, many from obscure sources.

One of the most important books of the American 20th century. Set in the class conflict of the Akron, Ohio, strike of 1936 against the rubber industry. "Sit down" and give it a read!

Meredith Carson gets beneath the skin of diverse species and their relationships, including with ours. Subtle perceptions - but not obscure. My favorite poem is very human: "My Love is a Scientist."
