Love and Hate in Jamestown

John Smith, Pocahontas, and the Start of a New Nation

By: David A. Price

A New York Times Notable Book and aSan Jose Mercury News Top 20 Nonfiction Book of 2003In 1606, approximately 105 British colonists sailed to America, seeking gold and a trade route to the Pacific. Instead, they found disease, hunger, and hostile natives. Ill prepared for such hardship, the men responded with incompetence and infighting; only the leadership of Captain John Smith averted doom for the first permanent English settlement in the New World.The Jamestown colony is one of the great survival stories of American history, and this book brings it fully to life for the first time. Drawing on extensive original documents, David A. Price paints intimate portraits of the major figures from the formidable monarch Chief Powhatan, to the resourceful but unpopular leader John Smith, to the spirited Pocahontas, who twice saved Smith’s life. He also gives a rare balanced view of relations between the settlers and the natives and debunks popular myths about the colony. This is a superb work of history, reminding us of the horrors and heroism that marked the dawning of our nation.

Bakersfield

By: Robert Price

Bakersfield was established in 1863 in the western shadow of the Sierra Nevada at the intersection of two of the country's defining events: the California Gold Rush and the Civil War. Bakersfield's first generation of pioneers--gold-seekers, Southern sympathizers, and European immigrants--tamed the region's confluence of swamps and built a frontier town. Over the next century, the town at the southern tip of California's San Joaquin Valley produced a noteworthy array of heroes, poets, leaders, and scoundrels, including the most influential Supreme Court chief justice in the nation's history, two best-selling country artists, decorated athletes, brilliant innovators, and corrupt lawmen. Founded by Col. Thomas Baker, Bakersfield prospered atop fertile soil unmatched anywhere on the planet and crude oil reserves that had few peers. During the Dust Bowl migration, it became a beacon of hope to the refugees of the nation's most dire ecological disaster and, consequently, a unique region that writer Gerald Haslam came to call the Other California. Today, Bakersfield is California's ninth-largest city and among its fastest-growing. The story of its first century is presented here in words and pictures.

Wawa

By: Maria M. Thompson,Donald H. Price

Wawa has more than two hundred years of history in American business. Founded in 1803 and incorporated in 1865, Wawa has roots in the manufacture of cast-iron water pipes and decorative lampposts. Using the resources and surplus water power from the iron business, the family opened a cotton mill and began producing cotton piece goods, including Red Star diapers. The first Wawa milk plant opened in 1902; by the late 1950s, the Wawa Dairy had expanded its home delivery business to include over one hundred forty-five routes. The first Wawa Food Market opened on April 16, 1964. Today, the company is familiar to many as a chain of five hundred forty convenience stores in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Delaware, Maryland, and Virginia that offers a wide selection of fresh foods, coffee, and gasoline. Wawa contains vintage images documenting the evolution of the company as it adapted to changing economic and social conditions. From the early days of iron manufacture to the opening of the first store in Folsom, Pennsylvania, Wawa brings to life the many facets of one of America's top privately owned companies.

Mr Price 27 Years with the RNLI

Mr Price 27 Years with the RNLI

By: Chris Price

Mr Price' Have you ever felt vulnerable near the sea? - top of a cliff, drifting off the beach or boating in bad weather - wind, waves and tide. Running through your mind will be the prospect of a disaster - that sudden realisation that the outdoors is so much bigger than you are. There could quickly come a moment when you are desperate for help. Risk is no longer fun - it's got serious. That moment of acute consciousness is when you need the likes of Mr Price. The British people, inhabiting this island, have a passion for the sea. In summer months we flock to the coast, some venture into the waves, some need to go beyond. Over generations this maritime adventure has taken us to far lands and has given this nation its global reputation as a sea faring nation. This has come at a cost. Charts of the British coast show the marks of wrecks that each tell their own story of weather, misadventure and misfortune. Graveyards in these areas sometimes help tell the grizzly tale of lives ended in such disasters but for so many more, there is no mark on land for those lost to the seas. Back in the early 19th Century when our nation depended so much on nautical supply lines there were an average of 1800 shipwrecks a year. Sir William Hillary set out a plan for a large body of men to be trained and ready to help save lives at sea. And so, in 1824, was born the Royal National Lifeboat Institution. If you have visited the coast you will probably have seen the reassuring presence of those blue and orange craft that you had seen on telly, rescuing lives and craft. It's the RNLI, manifest in its lifeboats, crew wrapped in high-vis oilies and life jackets, helmeted, anonymous. These men and women - all volunteers - represent the bravest of our nation. As we might pray to be lifted from the worst of the weather and the sea, these people respond to the maroon, tog up and set off into the worst of it. The autobiographical account of Mr Price will take you with them out into the face of danger. Chris Price, a craftsman and highly respected professional out in the gun trade, provides, tantalisingly, just sufficient insight into his private life to help us understand the motivations and relationships that hang behind the lifeboatman. Then, it's all about the team. The ups and downs of progressing through the ranks eventually to be called by the skipper to join the crew on a shout. It's written in Chris's own voice - you will get to know this remarkable character well, on and off the boat. The selected stories of just some of his such shouts reveal the true picture of what goes on aboard a lifeboat on operations. The people, their friendships and the utter reliance on each other to be able to do what they do. The weather, the sea sickness, the routines, the exhaustion. The sense of achievement in a successful rescue and the numbing emotions of body recovery. You will be gripped as you travel with them. The excitement will be tangible, you will smell the diesel and the sick. You will be part of the team on board and with them you will laugh and cry. At the end of each chapter you will be exhausted. 'Mr Price' is a read for everyone. The life lessons flood out on every page. Only very few books convey the power of relationships and bonds that exist in small teams under pressure; this is one of them. For seafarers, it is a cautionary tale; for landlubbers it is a glimpse into the perils of the sea. For all, it is the story of real people putting themselves at huge risk to help others. It is spellbinding and an emotional roller-coaster. Simon R West OBE. MA.

In Company

An Anthology of New Mexico Poets After 1960

By: Lee Bartlett,Vincent Barrett Price,Dianne Edenfield Edwards

This collection brings together for the first time three generations of poets associated with New Mexico, representing a variety of styles and personalities. The first group--beginning with the distinguished East Coast emigre to Santa Fe Witter Bynner and ending with the New Mexico-born MacArthur fellow Jay Wright--came into their maturities by the 1960s. This era's distinguished roster includes such figures as Charles Tomlinson, Robert Creeley, Nathaniel Tarn, and Simon Ortiz. The second group, including nationally known figures like Joy Harjo, Jimmy Santiago Baca, N. Scott Momaday, and Arthur Sze, became famous in the 1970s and 1980s. The third group, dating mostly to the 1990s, includes some writers familiar only to audiences who frequent coffee houses and poetry slams, as well as authors whose names are familiar both nationally and regionally, among them Demetria Martinez and Kate Horsley. V. B. Price is general editor of the Mary Burritt Christiansen Poetry series. All three editors of In Company are poets.

The Lost Submarines of Pearl Harbor

By: James P. Delgado,Terry Kerby,Stephen Price,Maximilian D. Cremer,Hans K. Van Tilburg,Ole Varmer,Russell Matthews

In the pre-dawn darkness of December 7, 1941, five Imperial Japanese Navy submarines surfaced off the coast of Oahu. Secured to the decks of these vessels were secret weapons to be deployed for the first time in modern warfare: two-man midget submarines, intended to enter Pearl Harbor without being detected and torpedo the US Navy battleships lying at anchor there. None of them would return from their mission. “One of the last remaining and persistent mysteries of the Pearl Harbor attack is that of the Japanese Midget Submarines. It is a fascinating story of innovation, courage, secrets, and failed expectations. And it is not only a story of the morning hours of December 7, but of the years before to develop these weapons and the years after, where they were deployed in the great Pacific War and how they fared as weapons of war.” These words by Daniel J. Basta, from the foreword of this work, capture both the essence and the impact of The Lost Submarines of Pearl Harbor. James P. Delgado and his coauthors have worked on the story of these incredible craft for decades. They combed the records of the US Navy and the recollections of its veterans as well as Japanese, Australian, and British archives in order to uncover the truth. They have logged hours of direct observation and research on the midget subs in their final resting places, in some cases more than 1,000 feet below the surface of the Pacific. And in the end, they have woven a tapestry of scholarship, historical sleuthing, scientific insight, and good storytelling that will enthrall specialists and history enthusiasts alike.

Worlds of the Parallel Universe

By: David Price

I am the celestial watcher, an immortal, omnipresent entity that observes the unfolding events of this universe and the other realms of the multiverse. I was conscious at the beginning and will witness its inevitable end. For this universe is finite, an isolated bubble, only one of many bubbles of alternative realities in this universe and separated by a corridor, an ether, beyond which exists parallel universes, in which the physical laws of this universe do not apply. I know this for I was once mortal like you and attained this higher plane of existence through transcendence. I am aware that there are two other celestial watchers. I sense them at the boundary edges of the three zones that overlap like a Venn diagram, and between us three, we watch over the whole expanse of this universe and down into the strata layers of the multiverse. We have the ability to influence the subconscious mind of the masses by leaving ideas in the minds of mortals in their dreams and manipulating their conscious minds in their waking hours. It is a powerful tool to influence the collective mind, suggest courses of action, manipulate decisions, and change destinies, although the ancestors would not agree with us. And the ancestors in your present time, Earth year 2042, are on the museum planet of Oceanid, orbiting the star Quaestor Minor in the Cygnus constellation.

An Introduction to Archaeological Chemistry

By: T. Douglas Price,James H. Burton

Archaeological chemistry is a subject of great importance to the study and methodology of archaeology. This comprehensive text covers the subject with a full range of case studies, materials, and research methods. With twenty years of experience teaching the subject, the authors offer straightforward coverage of archaeological chemistry, a subject that can be intimidating for many archaeologists who do not already have a background in the hard sciences. With clear explanations and informative illustrations, the authors have created a highly approachable text, which will help readers overcome that intimidation. Topics covered included: Materials (rock, pottery, bone, charcoal, soils, metals, and others), Instruments (microscopes, NAA, spectrometers, mass spectrometers, GC/MS, XRF & XRD, Case Studies (Provinience, Sediments, Diet Reconstruction, Past Human Movement, Organic Residues). The detailed coverage and clear language will make this useful as an introduction to the study of archaeological chemistry, as well as a useful resource for years after that introduction.

Mosquito Men

The Elite Pathfinders of 627 Squadron

By: David Price

In November 1940, a remarkable prototype aircraft made its maiden flight from an airstrip north of London. Novel in construction and exceptionally fast, the new plane was soon outpacing the Spitfire, and went on to contribute to the RAF's offensive against Nazi Germany as bomber, pathfinder and night fighter. The men who flew it nicknamed this most flexible of aircraft 'the wooden wonder' for its composite wooden frame and superb performance. Its more familiar name was the de Havilland Mosquito, and it used lightning speed and agility to inflict mayhem on the German war machine. From the summer of 1943, as Bomber Command intensified its saturation bombing of German cities, Mosquitos were used by the Pathfinder Force, which marked targets for night-time bombing, to devastating effect. Mosquito Men traces the contrasting careers of the young men of 627 Squadron, including that of Ken Oatley – last living member of an illustrious group – who flew twenty-two operations in Mosquitos as a navigator. David Price's atmospheric narrative interweaves the human stories of the crews of 627 Squadron with events in the wider war as the Allies closed in on Germany from the summer of 1944. Mosquito Men is rich in evocative and technically authoritative accounts of individual missions flown by an aircraft that ranks alongside the Spitfire, the Hurricane and the Lancaster as one of the RAF's greatest ever flying machines – and perhaps the most versatile warplane ever built. For those fans of the Mosquito aircraft recently described by Rowland White, Mosquito Men will add the human element to this iconic plane.

Glasgow Trams

A Pictorial Tribute

By: Martin Jenkins,Geoff Price

This book has been commissioned to mark the 60th anniversary of the closure of Glasgow’s remarkable tram system, when over 250,000 people lined the city streets on 4 September 1962 to watch a final procession of some 20 trams representing different periods in the history of the undertaking. Using a wealth of previously unpublished photographs, the book shows as many areas and aspects of the city as possible. The trams are once again back where they belong, right in the heart of the city and its suburbs with people, period buses, cars and lorries, shops, churches, theatres, cinemas, parks, shipyards, factories and even steam and electric locos running on the tram tracks. Furthermore, the coverage goes way beyond the city boundary to encompass Airdrie, Coatbridge, Cambuslang, Rutherglen, Barrhead, Paisley, Renfrew, Clydebank and Milngavie. Over the years many locations have changed beyond recognition while others remain instantly recognisable. There are scores of photographs of the long-lasting Standards (some even in Glasgow’s legendary colored route bands), trams acquired from Paisley including those cut down to single-deckers, Kilmarnock bogies, modern Coronations and Cunarders, ex-Liverpool cars, one-offs and also works cars. For those who still remember the trams, we hope you enjoy looking back as much as we have and for those who have no memory of wires and rails in the street, we hope this will recapture a lost way of life when services were frequent and fares relatively inexpensive.

Spitfire Mark I/II Aces 1939–41

By: Alfred Price

Spitfire Mk Is and IIs served only briefly in the frontline with the RAF, but their pilots were responsible for achieving impressive scores against the Luftwaffe during 1940/41. This volume details the RAF's first aces of World War 2 who helped stem the German tide during Britain's struggle for survival in the bitter years between 1939 and 1941. Early-mark Spitfires were notorious for their light armament, overheating engines and short range, but during the dogfights over Dunkirk and south-east England, then the first tentative sweeps across France, many pilots achieved scores of note.

Season of Terror

The Espinosas in Central Colorado, March–October 1863

By: Charles F. Price

Season of Terror is the first book-length treatment of the little-known true story of the Espinosas—serial murderers with a mission to kill every Anglo in Civil War–era Colorado Territory—and the men that brought them down. For eight months during the spring and fall of 1863, brothers Felipe Nerio and José Vivián Espinosa and their young nephew, José Vincente, New Mexico–born Hispanos, killed and mutilated an estimated thirty-two victims before their rampage came to a bloody end. Their motives were obscure, although they were members of the Penitentes, a lay Catholic brotherhood devoted to self-torture in emulation of the sufferings of Christ, and some suppose they believed themselves inspired by the Virgin Mary to commit their slaughters. Until now, the story of their rampage has been recounted as lurid melodrama or ignored by academic historians. Featuring a fascinating array of frontier characters, Season of Terror exposes this neglected truth about Colorado’s past and examines the ethnic, religious, political, military, and moral complexity of the controversy that began as a regional incident but eventually demanded the attention of President Lincoln.
