A fine pick for any library strong in world geography
The 'Rivers Around the World' series is a fine pick for any library strong in world geography. Each book focuses on a different major world river, discussing history, peoples who depend upon it, travel and commerce, and comparison to other world rivers. THE GANGES: INDIA'S SACRED RIVER, THE AMAZON: RIVER IN A RAIN FOREST, THE YANGTZE: CHINA'S MAJESTIC RIVER, THE TIGRIS AND EUPHRATES: RIVERS OF THE FERTILE CRESCENT, THE ST. LAWRENCE: RIVER ROUTE TO THE GREAT LAKES, THE NILE: RIVER IN THE SAND, THE RHINE: EUROPE'S RIVER HIGHWAY and THE MISSISSIPPI: AMERICA'S MIGHTY RIVER are fine study guides for any general geography library. ...

Product Description
Webster's bibliographic and event-based timelines are comprehensive in scope, covering virtually all topics, geographic locations and people. They do so from a linguistic point of view, and in the case of this book, the focus is on "Mississippi," including when used in literature (e.g. all authors that might have Mississippi in their name). As such, this book represents the largest compilation of timeline events associated with Mississippi when it is used in proper noun form. Webster's timelines cover bibliographic citations, patented inventions, as well as non-conventional and alternative meanings which capture ambiguities in usage. These furthermore cover all parts of speech (possessive, institutional usage, geographic usage) and contexts, including pop culture, the arts, social sciences (linguistics, history, geography, economics, sociology, political science), business, computer science, literature, law, medicine, psychology, mathematics, chemistry, physics, biology and other physical sciences. This "data dump" results in a comprehensive set of entries for a bibliographic and/or event-based timeline on the proper name Mississippi, since editorial decisions to include or exclude events is purely a linguistic process. The resulting entries are used under license or with permission, used under "fair use" conditions, used in agreement with the original authors, or are in the public domain. ... Read more

Alabama : Atlas of Historical County Boundaries
If you're interested in this sort of thing as I am this book could be of great value however the price is unreal. I have a CD that does much the same for the entire country at a third the price of one state however this book is MUCH more accurate and shows county boundaries that only occured for as little as three days. The CD is also easier to use. That said I'll likely ask for the book as one of those Christmas presents I wouldn't buy for myself. ... Read more
