Friedman, Thomas L. Longitudes and Attitudes: Exploring the World After September 11

Signed author on half title page. Very clean throughout. One corner of one page had been folded down. 383 pages. Longitudes and Attitudes contains the columns Friedman has published about the most momentous news story of our time, as well as a diary of his experiences and reactions during this period of crisis. As the author writes, the book is "not meant to be a comprehensive study of September 11 and all the factors that went into it. Rather, my hope is that it will constitute a 'word album' that captures and preserves the raw, unpolished, emotional and analytical responses that illustrate how I, and others, felt as we tried to grapple with September and its aftermath, as they were unfolding."Signed by Author.

Jack Miller The Peacekeepers
Houdini Publishing 2012 1936759098 First Edition Paperback New
Steve Weatherly Radar and Communications Officer, 689th Radar Squadron, Mt Hebo Air Force Station, Oregon "The Peacekeepers is not a radar textbook, but rather the story of Air Force people that committed themselves successfully to the air defense of the nation for well over three decades as members of ADC. We can be pleased with the result. There was no attack against the United States" From Air Force Radar Museum Association: afrmaonline.org Our book "Peacekeepers" about Radar Station vets will be available for purchase in May at bookstores only. I am very thankful to Jack Miller (author) for his commitment to putting "Peacekeepers" together and getting it published. I encourage all of you to purchase copies in May and spread the word about the story of our participation in the air defense of the US during the Cold War. Jack is also passing along his book royalty to the Air Force Radar Museum Association and our National Air Defense Radar Museum. I'm looking forward to the availability of Peacekeepers because it is a story about us. It is not a radar textbook, but it is a story about our life and times during the Cold War. Our book does cover a significant period of change, as the air defense of the nation became a major USAF mission. As many will attest, the buildup of the US AC&W system during the 1950s was a real time of growth. Radar stations were springing up all over and thousands of us were trained and deployed to what for many was a "real culture shock." Then the even more challenging transition to SAGE, a new generation of interceptors, and new radar systems began in earnest during the 1960s. Tens of thousands of us were part of this growth, operation, upgrades, and eventual shut down as newer technologies in missiles and space changed the threats to our nation.

James Carroll Boyd, M.D. Ocean Hall Discovery of an American Classic
Maryland James Carroll Boyd, M.D. 2011 First Edition Oversize Paperback New
Dr. Jamie Boyd was born in Washington, DC, as a fifth generation Washingtonian. He grew up in Southern Maryland in St. Mary's County where his family went back over 300 years. It is also here that he has practiced medicine as a physician for the last 34 years. During most of this time he has also studied, restored, and studied again the historic home Ocean Hall. "Ocean Hall, Discovery of and American Classic' represents over 30 years of research in the fields of architecture and history in early colonial Maryland. In 355 pages, 610 illustrations and 297 footnotes, it meticulously records the many discoveries made at Ocean Hall, the surrounding of Bushwood and surrounding region once known as St. Clement's Mannor. Much of this information involves the late 17th and early 18th Centuries, and most of it has never been published before. Ocean Hall is the oldest house of Classic domestic architecture in America, and the only building that survives with an ancient construction technique known as a cruck roof. It is also one of our nation's earliest brick buildings. The unique and rare architectural and archaeological features of this home are displayed in numerous photographs throughout the manuscript. This book also chronicles, in great detail, recent scholarship on the earliest surviving buildings from America's Colonial South. This includes up to date discoveries in dendrochronology which, for the first time, have documented the true age of these early structures.

Jane Vincent Hard Crabs and Cultured Pearls- A Southern Maryland Love Story
iUniverse, Inc. 2003 0595291864 Oversize paperback Brand New
When real estate agent Diana Sullivan, raised in affluent in Chevy Chase, steps from her car onto the gravel parking lot of Mattingly's General Store in June 1957, she enters an unfamiliar world--the isolated and rural 7th District of St. Mary's County in Southern Maryland. As she walks toward the store seeking directions, she is jostled by a young man. While Harry helps Diana retrieve the scattered contents of her purse, he gives her a preview of the local vernacular and mannerisms. Although Diana leaves the young waterman in anger after this volatile first meeting, she will welcome Harry's assistance later in the day. In time, Diana grows to love Harry, his family, and the region's culture. She enjoys the warmth and acceptance of the locals, a tightly knit community of watermen and tobacco farmers, many of whose families' roots extent back to Southern Maryland's colonial days. However, she knows that her upper-class family would disapprove of her involvement with these rural people. Soon, critical external pressures buffet the cocoon that Diana and Harry have spun around their relationship, causing the two lovers to question whether their love can survive. Signed copy!
