Together Again: A Creative Guide to Successful Multi-Generational Living
by John L. Graham Sharon Graham NiederhausThe popular press has taken notice of two current trends in housing arrangements: three-generation households, and twenty-somethings staying at home longer. These are not separate trends, but part of a larger nationwide cultural shift to extended families reuniting. Together Again: A Creative Guide for Successful Multigenerational Living is intended to make this cultural shift go smoothly. As it stands now the benefits of extended family living are being masked by the World War II generation's fancy for independence. That worked fine for them. But the coming failure of the social security and healthcare systems in this country are forcing us all to rethink how we live and care for one another. This book offers solutions based in part on interviews with over 100 people now involved in extended family living relationships. Topics covered include the financial and emotional benefits of living together; proximity and privacy; designing and remodeling your home to accommodate adult children or elderly parents; overcoming cultural stigmas about independent living; financial and legal planning; and making co-habitation agreements.

Across the Line: Profiles In Basketball Courage: Tales Of The First Black Players In The ACC and SEC
by Barry JacobsIn the 1960s, college sports required more than athletic prowess from its African American players. For many pioneering basketball players on 18 teams in the Atlantic and Southeastern conference, playing ball meant braving sometimes menacing crowds during the tumultuous era of civil rights. Perry Wallace feared he would be shot when he first stepped onto a court in his Vanderbilt uniform. During one road game, Georgia's Ronnie Hogue fended off a hostile crowd with a chair. Craig Mobley had to flee the Clemson campus, along with other black students. C.B. Claiborne couldn't attend the Duke team banquet when it was held at an all-white country club. Wendell Hudson's mother cried with heartache when her son decided to play at the University of Alabama, and Al Heartley locked himself in a campus dorm at North Carolina State for safety the night Martin Luther King, Jr., was assassinated. Grounded in the civil rights struggles on campuses throughout the south, the voices of players, coaches, opponents and fans reveal the long-neglected story of race, sports and social history. Barry Jacobs has covered college basketball as well as news and other sports since 1976 for numerous publications, among them the New York Times, Washington Post, GQ, People, Oceans, the Saturday Evening Post and the Sporting News. He is the author of four books, including Coach K's Little Blue Book, The World According to Dean, and Three Paths to Glory. For 14 years he wrote the Fan&’s Guide to ACC Basketball. He also served as an elected county commissioner for 20 years and supervises Moorefields, an historic site near Hillsborough, NC.

Kitchen Collectibles: An Identification Guide
by Kenneth L. CopeKitchen gadgets, tools, and appliances, like those found in your grandmother's kitchen, have become major collectibles, bringing increasingly higher prices. Yet, how can you put a value on an item that you can't identify? Here is the first book to concentrate on the identification of kitchen collectibles dating from 1830 to 1930. With over 600 manufacturers listed and described (as to location, date of operation, patents, and items made) and nearly 2,000 illustrations taken from original catalogs and advertisements, this book allows you to clearly identify your collectible. The offerings of such makers as Andrews Wire and Iron Works, Arcade Mfg., Dover Stamping, Enterprise Mfg., Erie Specialty, Kieckhefer Bros., Landers, Frary & Clark, Silver & Co., Wagner Mfg., and Watertown Cutlery (among many, many others ) are presented with a visual clairty that makes comparisons with your collectibles much easier and more accurate. To make identification easier still, the book contains an exclusive listing of the trade names associated with each manufacturer and another alphabetical listing of manufacturers with their associated patent dates. This permits the cross-reference, and thus identification, of collectibles even when they are not marked with a manufacturer's name but just a trade name or patent date. Mr. Cope also helps the reader identify non-American pieces by providing a separate list of abbreviations found on such items, together with their country and an English translation of their meanings. Finally, the book is fully indexed so that all kitchen items of any type can be located and viewed. This is information that cannot be found anywhere else and is absolutely invaluable to the collector, dealer, researcher, or anyone else who is simply interested in what grandmother used in her kitchen.

Few books in fishing literature have focused so closely on so many individual species of the particular genera of aquatic insects in this volume.
