In the 1970s a handful of brewers in Oregon, Washington, and British Columbia were tired of the traditional light and flavorless American beers and began exploring ways to make better beer brewed from local ingredients.

Craft Beers of the Pacific Northwest is a suds-soaked adventure...

If you were in the Boy Scouts between the 1950's and the 1970's, this was "the source" on how to make Indian crafts. Long out of print, it has been reprinted in its original form. There are lots of tips and instructions for making everything from bonnets to bustles, beadwork, designs, and more.

And, what impact has childhood toys, games, and sports had on the author's life as opposed to that of today's childhood upbringing? Is there a preset plan for living one's life, or do we make our own...

As in earlier volumes in the series, this study sheds light on past decisions by presenting previously unpublished documents that illustrate not only what was actually built but also what was planned and never brought into service. For example, this book offers the first comprehensive and fully illustrated account of abortive attempts in the 1960s and beyond to build new fire support ships (LFSs). With nearly three hundred photographs and specially commissioned line drawings and extensive appendixes...
