Portal to the Corps: Chronicling the National Museum of the Marine Corps
The National Museum of the Marine Corps was born of an act of Congress, which in the late 1980s appropriated seed money for each branch of the US military to build a national museum. The Marine Corps Heritage Foundation and Naval Facilities held a national design competition to select the museum's architects. Fentress Bradburn Architects emerged as the winner with a design inspired by the heroic flag-raising atop Mount Suriachi on Iwo Jima, the most recognised and enduring symbol of the Marine Corps. This compelling monograph is a collection of essays by those who laboured to bring the National Museum of the Marine Corps from inception to completion. Writers include Colenol Joseph Alexander, General Ron Christmas, Generald Gerald McKay, Colonel Joseph Long and architect Curtis Worth Fentress..

Chronicling History: Chroniclers and Historians in Medieval and Renaissance Italy
Literally thousands of annals, chronicles, and histories were produced in Italy during the Middle Ages, ranging from fragments to polished humanist treatises. This book is composed of a set of case studies exploring the kinds of historical writing most characteristic of the period.We might expect a typical medieval chronicler to be a monk or cleric, but the chroniclers of communal and Renaissance Italy were overwhelmingly secular. Many were jurists or notaries whose professions granted them access to political institutions and public debate. The mix of the anecdotal and the cosmic, of portents and politics, makes these writers so engaging to read.While chroniclers may have had different reasons to write and often very different points of view, they shared the belief that knowing the past might explain the present. Moreover, their audiences usually shared the worldview and civic identity of the historians, so these texts are glimpses into deeper cultural and intellectual contexts. Seen more broadly, chronicles are far more entertaining and informative than narratives. They become part of the very history they are describing..

A Perfect Life: So How Did I Get Here?: For Profit or Cure: Chronicling Rehab
I wrote this book for me, the way it happened, and so maybe it’s also for you. I learned that rehab is not just about helping people. The help is there, if you need it—but you have to be able to pay for it. If you can’t, and you really need help, then you are in a world of trouble If you can pay, then maybe there will always be a reason to get you in. In my case, I had to go—or end my career. I was lucky because I could pay, so I can continue the work I have chosen and love. I met some good people and fine counselors, and learned some useful things. But it wasn’t all benevolent—much was dogmatic, and sometimes malicious. At times, the rehab providers wielded their clout in a nasty way. I resisted, then submitted, and then complied, learning what I could along the way. And I wrote it down. This is the story..

Designer Scrapbooks the Red Hat Society Way: A Guide to Chronicling Ridiculous Fun
Sue Ellen Cooper, bestselling author of The Red Hat Society: Fun and Friendship After Fifty and one of the founders of this bourgeoning group--which increases by 100 chapters a day--provides the foreword, and the animated character Ruby Red Hat hosts the proceedings in high style and high spirits.
There's no doubt that the "Red Hats" are an amazing phenomenon. Not only did the book written by its founders stay on the New York Times' Bestseller List for weeks, but more and more women over 50 just keep catching the wave and joining the movement. And what could be better for the now nearly one million members who celebrate fun and friendship than scrapbooking? They'll all rush to those shoeboxes filled with photos and come to this brightly illustrated volume to see how to do it in the inimitable, adventurous Red Hat way. Fifteen sections, organized by particular "Red-Hat-isms"-such as Dress for Excess and Exercise Your Funny Bone-are introduced by Ruby Red Hat, who's always garbed in the appropriate manner for each particular theme. The nearly 80 projects include both flat album-type pages as well as spectacular dimensional ideas for gift boxes, invitations, and other designs. Readers will also appreciate 9 pages of patterns-not to mention the wit and wisdom they'll find along with the techniques.
A Selection of the Crafters Choice Book Club.
