This book is a must-have resource for playing Cyberpunk 2020 in the commonly used setting of Night City. The wealth of information available is staggering, it would be hard to gather this much info about a REAL city, let alone come up with such detailed information for a fictional one!

Contains numerous maps of the city, and throughout the book, details various locations (most of the buildings in the city are identified), it even contains floor plans for local hangouts, city mass-transit routes, detailed data on various local services, even the location of Dataterms (Multi-purpose info access terminals) throughout the city!

I no longer GM CP 2020 rp sessions, but I am currently using the book to help create the city for some fan fiction set in the Cyberpunk world. It truly is an invaluable resource.

btw: it even comes with a full-color fold-out map of the city!

"Night Train at Wiscasset Station" is a masterpiece. Lew Dietz's words, interspersed with Kosti Ruohomaa's photographs, paint a picture of a time gone by in a state that can be beautiful, haunting, desolate and welcoming all at the same time. I grew up in Maine, and this books makes me nostalgic for home. A must-read for anyone who's ever been touched by the state of mind that is Maine.

Sarah Woolf-Wade's Nightsong is a celebration of connections -- person to person, people to place, spiritual to physical. The writer observes with a clear eye and sensitivity to nuances of emotion, whether she is introducing us to characters we feel we know (a "bag-lady" teacher, old men in the drugstore,a parlor maid in a grand hotel) or sights that make us wish we, too, could sing (sea smoke, a cormorant at dawn,back alleys in Varanasi). This is not a book to shock or jolt - this is a book to share with a friend, to enjoy for its solace.

Dr. Cogliano's book provides a curiously enlightening view on the opposition to Catholics in eightenth century New England as well as a vivid depiction of the struggle that group endured. For those in search of outstanding secondary source material on the subject, this book is a great start!

A profound and wonderful book about life and the north woods of Maine. Nan Turner Waldron writes with the ease of one who has spent childhood summers on a farm in the north woods of Maine and these summers are what sparked her passionate and active works as a conservationist, naturalist, birdwatcher and nature photographer. It is a brave and courageous account of one womans journey to herself. This book is a must read! Another must read is Ms. Waldron's Journey To The Outermost House also on Amazon!

I love my town! we are the best!

This is the second exceptional volume to come out recently on a regional tiger beetle fauna, providing an outstanding companion to Knisley & Schultz's volume on the tiger beetles of the South Atlantic states. The volume is well-written and includes much basic information that would be helpful for the beginning cicindelist on tiger beetle biology, the nature of species, and collecting and preparation techniques. Cautions are also included against collecting endangered or protected species, with strong and specific advice on photographic techniques for these. More advanced materials include keys to both adults and third-instar larvae. Each species is described, and key identifying characteristics are underlined for easy reference; distinguishing characteristics from similar species are included for each, which is a big help for a beginner. The volume is profusely illustrated with line drawings and a black-and-white reference photograph of each species; color photographs of all species included in the study area are also included in separate plates. Maps showing distributions in the New England States and adjacent Canada are more detailed than those of Knisley & Schultz, and include major rivers and lakes. This is an obligate addition to the library of any serious cicindelist.

The Northern Forest is an area of twenty-six million acres that stretches from Adirondack Park in New York through Vermont, New Hampshire, and most of Maine. "Northern Wilds: Journeys of Discovery in the Northern Forest" consists of historical information about this area as well as the author's personal experiences. The author provides detailed descriptions and commentary of the various facets of the Forest. These descriptions include what one might expect while hiking in the area in different seasons, canoeing the rivers, or camping as well as how the area is changing due to development, logging, and other ecological factors.

Filled with stunningly beautiful photographs, it made me want to visit the Northern Forest at my first opportunity. A recommended read, but worth the price just for the pleasure of enjoying the photography.

There's something most of us find fascinating about the lineages of persons of note, whether they're royalty, U.S. presidents, movie stars, military leaders, or literary and historical figures like Pocahontas and Louisa May Alcott. The Virginia ancestry of the Queen Mother is relatively well known, as are the New England cousins of the late Princess of Wales and the Duchess of York -- but did you know Elvis Presley, Jimmy Carter, and Jesse Helms are all collaterally related? Roberts is probably the leading expert at this sort of thing, especially when it comes to uncovering surprising connections, like the British royal descent of Karl Marx's wife (whose grandmother was Scottish), and he carefully lays out examples of what might be called "genealogical evolution," demonstating that genealogy really is inclusive, not exclusive. Many British, European, and American contemporaries are much more closely related than we often realize. There are also a number of descents contributed by guest columnists which maintain the same high standard of documentation.

Pompey Casmilus is a secretary living in London in the 1930's. In this book, she describes her thoughts about love, work, friendship and the Germans, amongst other things. If you're looking for a plot this isn't the book for you, but if you want emotional honesty and a startlingly original (and up to date) viewpoint, then go ahead and read it. Don't let the book's surreal style put you off - there's plenty of thought-provoking material in there.
