Essential Illustrated Guide for the Ghost Town Lover!.......2003-06-30
For my 49th birthday, my father and wife arranged for me to have a 49er vacation that included attending a San Francisco 49er football game and then heading off into the gold country to revisit the sites where the great gold rush first began.
From knowing a lot about California history, I knew of many towns and sites that I wanted to see. But along the way, I was intrigued by signs and notes about many sites that I had never heard about before. I wished that I had had along a source as fine as Ghost Towns of Northern California.
Although his book will seem like a coffee table book to some, I found it to be an essential exploration guide. More than 50 towns and sites are described and pictured. Mr. Varney does a fine job of giving you the local history (which often includes how much gold was mined locally and how it was mined) while the photographs give you a sense of what there is to see. You also get maps that can easily be used to find each of these locations. Most are concentrated in the gold areas (such as near the Oregon border, near route 49, and in the high Sierras), but others have different backgrounds and locations such as Alcatraz and China Camp in the San Francisco Bay area.
The author defines a "ghost town" as being a town that has had a large slide in its permanent population, even if it is still populated. So few of these "ghost towns" are uninhabited like Calico was when I was a youngster.
I double checked the accuracy of the information by comparing my experiences on my 49er vacation to what the book says, and the information and views tallied perfectly. Nice job!
The photographs are more realistic than artistic. That is not to say that they are not beautiful in many cases, but they give you a realistic view of what you will see rather than a "sunset at Sedona" feeling.
You probably won't want to visit all of these ghost towns, but the book will help you decide when and where you will want to visit. I strongly urge you to decide to visit the sites that interest you and to use this valuable guide to help you plan and follow through on your plans.
I thought the book is an exceptional value. I would have gladly paid more than twice the asking price for this great resource!
After you finish enjoying the photographs and text, spend some time rereading Mark Twain's stories about the gold camps. It will help you get in the mood for planning a wonderful trip!
Can't wait!.......2002-03-06
I only wish the maps had been a little more detailed, and that the author could have provided coordinates of the sites from a GPS, to make it easier to get to the locations.

Cultural Norms, War and the Environment (A Sipri Publication)
Manufacturer: A SIPRI Publication ProductGroup: Book Binding: Hardcover ASIN: 0198291256 |
Book Description
The most immediate threats to humankind are military devastation and environmental exhaustion, both on a global scale. SIPRI, in co-operation with the United Nations Environment Programme, presents with this book the fifth major study in a series that examines linkages between these two threats. In the study specialists from several disciplines examine the ways in which cultural norms concerning the environment have inhibited the conduct of war and preparations for it, and suggest how such norms could be strengthened and developed. The subject is approached from the following perspectives: historical evolution of cultural norms concerning war and the environment; differing approaches of men and women; the special challenge of the nuclear age; roles of government and law; influence of education and the mass media; and philosophical and aesthetic influences. This series addresses the problems of constraining war and of maintaining an environment that can promote human life and welfare by examining the issues of warfare and security in relation to environmental and ecological concerns and then formulating policy recommendations. It should prove of interest, therefore, to everyone who has a personal interest in these subjects.

Arms Races: Technological and Political Dynamics (International Peace Research Institute, Oslo (PRIO))
Manufacturer: Sage Publications Ltd ProductGroup: Book Binding: Paperback ASIN: 0803982216 |
Book Description
What factors drive arms races? What role does military technology play in arms build-ups? How have arms build-ups differed under various political systems? Arms Races combines deep theoretical analysis with extensive empirical studies to provide readers with an in-depth understanding of the issues involved in the arms race. The contributors consider the driving forces of the arms races, a major area of research and debate within peace studies, strategic studies, and international relations. They focus both on internal factors to the dynamics of the arms races--such as bureaucratic politics, inter-service rivalry, and the military-industrial complex--and on external factors, such as long term economic trends and interactive arms dynamics between the two superpowers. Existing case studies of the development of strategic weapons systems and the many quantitative studies of the causes and consequences of the arms race are extensively reviewed. "Anyone wanting to get access to the state of the art could not do better than to start with this one. It gives a thoughtful, wide-ranging and constructive criticism of the whole attempt to understand arms racing. A very useful book...It should be particulary welcome to those seeking a way into a large and scattered literature, and to those trying to find coherent teaching material." --International Relations and Organizations "The Gleditsch introductory overview is extremely useful--the sort of article that students with an essay to do on the topic would kill for....an extremely useful collection of papers on a topic which is likely, unfortunately, to be of enduring interest." --Pacific Research

The Artisan of Ipswich: Craftsmanship and Community in Colonial New England
Robert Tarule Manufacturer: The Johns Hopkins University Press ProductGroup: Book Binding: Hardcover Similar Items: ASIN: 0801878691 |
Book Description
Thomas Dennis emigrated to America from England in 1663, settling in Ipswich, a Massachusetts village a long day's sail north of Boston. He had apprenticed in joinery, the most common method of making furniture in sixteenth- and seventeenth-century Britain, and he became Ipswich's second joiner, setting up shop in the heart of the village. During his lifetime, Dennis won wide renown as an artisan. Today, connoisseurs judge his elaborately carved furniture as among the best produced in seventeenth-century America.
Robert Tarule, historian and accomplished craftsman, brilliantly recreates Dennis's world in recounting how he created a single oak chest. Writing as a woodworker himself, Tarule vividly portrays Dennis walking through the woods looking for the right trees; sawing and splitting the wood on site; and working in his shop on the chest -- planing, joining, and carving. Dennis inherited a knowledge of wood and woodworking that dated back centuries before he was born, and Tarule traces this tradition from Old World to New. He also depicts the natural and social landscape in which Dennis operated, from the sights, sounds, and smells of colonial Ipswich and its surrounding countryside to the laws that governed his use of trees and his network of personal and professional relationships.
Thomas Dennis embodies a world that had begun to disappear even during his lifetime, one that today may seem unimaginably distant. Imaginatively conceived and elegantly executed, The Artisan of Ipswich gives readers a tangible understanding of that distant past.
