Long Beach Fire Department

By: Glen Goodrich,Long Beach Firefighters Museum

The Long Beach Fire Departments adaptability has been tested by a wide variety of disasters that have marked it as a unique firefighting force on the West Coast. Thousands of residents and others have owed their very lives to the department since its 1897 formation. The LBFD moved into action during the devastating 1933 Long Beach earthquake, in which its own Fire House No. 1 was reduced to rubble. Its firefighters have quelled oilfield blazes through the 20th century, and its fireboats have poured water onto flames engulfing the docks and warehouses of the bustling port. Other duties have included such side excursions as working standby during Howard Hughess 1947 flight of the Spruce Goose and taking care of Sam the cat, a Station 6 mainstay who slid down the fire pole to the delight of television audiences.

De Kooning's Bicycle

Artists and Writers in the Hamptons

By: Robert Long

Some of the 20th century's most important artists and writers lived and worked on the east end of Long Island years before it assumed its alternate identity as the Hamptons. The homes they made there, and the effect on their work, is the subject of these searching, lyrical vignettes.

The Hidden Places of Cornwall

By: Peter Long,Joanna Billing

This new edition of the very popular Hidden Places of Cornwall has been completely redesigned to include a new cover and new page layouts. Now in its 6th edition, the massively popular The Hidden Places of Cornwall, is one of the Hidden Places Series best sellers. The book is printed in full colour and includes detailed directional maps, eye-catching photographs and is packed with places to eat, drink and stay. The Hidden Places of Cornwall includes all the main tourist attractions as well as concentrating on the less well-known visitor attractions in this beautiful county. The stunning county of Cornwall has been called "an isolated beauty that contains some the most dramatic and spectacular scenery in the country." Rugged coastlines surround this striking county which has often been referred to as the 'English Riviera' encompassing pretty fishing ports, secluded scenic villages, narrow winding lanes and strong, romantic seafaring traditions. This is a land of strong Celtic heritage and ancestry, a place that is dotted with monuments such as crosses, holy wells and prehistoric sites and where legends of old still hold their romance amongst the Cornish people. The book is packed with information covering the more secluded and little known venues for food, drink, accommodation and places of interest as well as the more enduring attractions of the region. The new edition includes a very attractive redesigned cover that incorporates an eye-catching photograph of The Old Lifeboat Station In Lizard, Cornwall.

Boca Chita

By: Lance Long

Mark, a retired boomer with a powerful survivalist streak, manages to avoid contamination from the deadly NOEL virus, released worldwide by terrorists on Christmas Eve. Within 3 days, 99.9% of the world's population succumbs. He decides to bug-out in his survival-prepared, live-aboard trawler to Boca Chita Key, an uninhabited island seventeen miles from Miami, where he uses his wits, resilience and mechanical know-how to homestead as a self-sufficient hermit. Access to unlimited fuel will guarantee his freedom to travel, and power the air-conditioning, laundry, hot water heater and freezer. He quickly learns the essential secret of harvesting diesel from marina pumps using his portable Honda generator. In a vastly changed world, Mark faces his first challenging year with only the companionship of a shipwrecked survivor, his dog Shadow. In his Journal, he reflects on preparing for life aboard, watching the weather, harvesting the gifts of the sea, and nurturing the miracle of a kitchen garden. His encounters with a variety of animals and a handful of survivors succeed with the help of a salvaged Coast Guard Defender Class quick-response boat, a sawed-off 12-gauge pump Decksweeper shotgun, a stun-gun disguised as a camera, and some creative chemistry. He records a prepper's perspective on hot-wiring boats & cars, breaking & entering, false imprisonment and misdemeanor manslaughter. But Mark's Journal also celebrates the mundane: bicycling, baking bread, doing laundry, and fitting-out, running, and maintaining his boats, island repairs and improvements. In the months following NOEL, South Florida and the Keys suffer a series of natural catastrophes including a deep freeze, drought, uncontrolled wildfires in the Everglades, two hurricanes, and Lake Okeechobee breaching its dike, inundating South Florida. The first anniversary of the terrorist attack closes with a gathering of a small band of immune survivors, setting the stage for the creation of the community of New Islandia. Boca Chita tracks a careful and thoughtful man achieving equipoise as custodian of his "green" island hideaway, overcoming isolation, and taking the next steps. It is the first book of the NOEL trilogy, which includes Calusa Coast and The First Coast.

The Hidden Inns of the South East

Including Kent, Surrey and Sussex

By: Peter Long

This is the 2nd edition of the popular Hidden Inns of the South East which has been completely redesigned to include a new cover, new page layouts and will be printed in full colour. It also now includes even more pubs and inns in this beautiful and scenic region of England. The Hidden Inns series of regional guides covers "hidden" pubs and inns throughout the United Kingdom. The series originates from the enthusiastic suggestions of the landladies and landlords of inns reviewed in the Hidden Places series of travel guides and from Hidden Places readers who want to be directed to traditional inns with atmosphere and character, which are so much a part of our British heritage. The inns reviewed in the book may have been coaching inns and have definitely been a part of the history of the village or town in which they are located for many, many years. A Travel Publishing researcher has visited all of the inns reviewed and all serve food and drink. Many also offer the visitor accommodation. The Hidden Inns of the South East is packed full with a variety of different pubs and inns. There is an informative introductory narrative in each chapter containing historical facts, important landmarks and places to visit. A full page is devoted to each pub or inn and contains a full colour photograph, full name, address and telephone number, directions on how to get there, descriptive narrative and a handy summary of opening hours, food served, credit cards accepted, accommodation provided, other facilities offered, entertainment as well as local places of interest and local activities available. The new edition includes an attractive redesigned cover that incorporates a picture of The White HorsePublic House in Chilgrove
