Perry Miller -- who, regardless of what the credit on top says, was not the photographer in this pictureless collection, but the editor -- was the twentieth century's most towering colonial historian. Terrifying generation after generation of graduate students at Harvard, Miller was one of those people who knew absolutely everything about his subject: the American Puritans. A confirmed atheist, Miller spent his life exploring the lives of the most religious of all American groups. This anthology, which has been in print for the better part of half-a-century, is still the basic introduction to the subject in most schools. Taking excerpts on all the most important subjects, Miller introduces each with his own framework of ideas and connections; although the ellipses can come to annoy once you really get into the subject, there is still no good substitute for this collection. Indispensable to anybody wanting the primary texts of that most influential of all religious groups in America, the Puritans.

If you love the 70s, especially all the great cheesy TV shows of the time, this books is for you. It's super smart and funny, as the author, Josh Osersky, takes you on a guided tour of the times, and how shows like Three's Company and the Love Boat tell us the true story of America in the 70s. One of the best books I ever read!!!!

Anyone who has experienced a Benno Janssen designed property understands the beauty, majesty and uniqueness of his style. His use of the natural resources of Western Pennsylvania and a style of combining high roofs and archways create an Eastern European look. He is truely one of our country's greatest architects.

This book gives a fascinating portrayal of the early Explorers of the Arctic. The book was authored by a former USAF officer stationed in the area for several tours of duty. With his unique first-hand knowledge of the area and it's history he guides you through a spellbinding account of what *really* happened in the great frozen North. This is a MUST READ for anyone interested in the Historical Northwest Passage.

This is a very, very old and very, very good book on baking. I first found a hard-back edition of this classic in the early 1960's. If you are new to baking or a seasoned pro, Peck will provide you with lots of information as well as wonderful recipes.
