In this abundantly illustrated guide, naturalist Dennis Furnell and his wife Ann introduce the reader to the ancient region of Brittany--rich in nature, wildlife, landscape, history, food, and wine. Four departments of Brittany are explored--Côtes d'Armor, a lovely area much influenced by the sea; Finistère, with its dramatic coastline; the small but varied Ille et Vilaine; and the beauteous Morbihan. A general introduction to the natural history, ecology, and human history of each place is followed by detailed introductions to the major sites. Highlights include the dramatic cliffs at Cap Fréhel; the nature reserve at Les Sept Iles; Le Park, with its country lanes, forests, wood valley, and wild heaths; and Cancale, renowned for its seafood. Written with enthusiasm and knowledge, this is an ideal companion for travelers and ramblers.

This work, compiled over a period of thirty years from about 2,000 books and manuscripts, is a comprehensive listing of the 37,000 married couples who lived in New England between 1620 and 1700. Listed are the names of virtually every married couple living in New England before 1700, their marriage date or the birth year of a first child, the maiden names of 70% of the wives, the birth and death years of both partners, mention of earlier or later marriages, the residences of every couple and an index of names. The provision of the maiden names make it possible to identify the husbands of sisters, daughters, and many granddaughters of immigrants, and of immigrant sisters or kinswomen.
