An incredibly original, intelligent novel'a love story set against New York City at the dawn of the mechanical age, featuring Nikola Tesla, Thomas Edison, and J. P. Morgan.

After discovering an old photograph, an elderly antiques dealer living in present-day Los Angeles is forced to revisit the history he has struggled to deny. The photograph depicts a man and a woman. The man is Peter Force, a young frontier adventurer who comes to New York City in 1901 and quickly lands a job digging the first subway tunnels beneath the metropolis. The woman is Cheri- Anne Toledo, a beautiful mathematical prodigy whose memories appear to come from another world. They meet seemingly by chance, and initially Peter dismisses her as crazy. But as they are drawn into a tangle of overlapping intrigues, Peter must reexamine Cheri-Anne's fantastic story. Could it be that she is telling the truth and that she has stumbled onto the most dangerous secret imaginable: the key to traveling through time?

Set against the mazelike streets of New York at the dawn of the mechanical age, Peter and Cheri-Anne find themselves wrestling with the nature of history, technology, and the unfolding of time itself.

"Authors Cynthia V. A. Schaffner and Susan Klein take a regional approach to their topic, beginning with the style and design centers of the East Coast. With authoritative knowledge of piece after piece, Schaffner and Klein discuss painted and gilded furniture as artistic expression and material culture, providing invaluable insights into the talented artist-craftsmen, diverse peoples, and their homes within the far-flung communities of nineteenth-century America. Prominent craftsmen from each region are highlighted as we are treated to an impressive display of clocks, Windsor chairs, gilded looking glasses, pier tables, and klismos chairs." "Illustrated with more than three hundred photographs, American Painted Furniture details hundreds of exquisitely embellished pieces, many from private collections and seen here for the first time. Special sections explain painting and gilding techniques, and there is an appendix with a source directory and a glossary of terms."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

Women of the American West

American lore has slighted the cowgirl, although at least one can still be found in nearly every ranching community. Like her male counterpart, she rides and ropes, understands land and stock, and confronts the elements. The writer and photographer Teresa Jordan traveled sixty thousand miles in the American West, talking with more than a hundred authentic cowgirls running ranches and performing in rodeos. The result is a fascinating book that also situates the cowgirl in history and literature. A new preface and updated bibliography have been added to this Bison Book edition.

A No-Bullshit Guide to the United Myths of America

PREPARE TO BE BEAKED BY THE MAJESTIC EAGLE OF HISTORY 

Most of us are familiar with the greatest hits and legendary heroes of US history. In George Washington Is Cash Money, Cory O'Brien, author of Zeus Grants Stupid Wishes, does away with the pomp and circumstance and calls America's history what it is: one long, violent soap opera. In his signature clever, crude, and cuss-ridden style, O'Brien reminds us that:
 
· Teddy Roosevelt stopped bullets with his manly chest
· Harriet Tubman avoided danger by having prophetic seizures.
· Joseph Smith invented Mormonism by staring into a hat full of rocks.
· Billy the Kid was finally defeated by the smell of fresh bacon.
 
And there's plenty more Star Spangled stupidity where that came from.
