Living in Cities
This book covers a large selection of the recent literature on environmental psychology. It defines the discipline and then goes on to provide many examples of its application and controversies. Much of the text consists of critical evaluations of a large number of studies of the relationship between behavior and environment, although more of it seems to be concerned with general person-environment relationships than with the specific effect of the urban environment upon people. The author optimistically suggests that people can learn to adapt successfully to much higher densities if this becomes necessary, yet concludes that environmental psychology cannot yet answer the question of what is an 'optimum' environment for people or what is the 'best' person for any environment. The state of the art is still primitive and the results of studies in environmental psychology are contradictory and open to much interpretation. However, they may delineate the range of possibilities that lie open, and may guide planners to make more rational environmental choices in the future.

Pearl Jam
The first official book done in association with the media-shy band that redefined the musical sound of the 1990s, Pearl Jam: Place/Date captures the raw intensity, behind-the-scenes comraderie, and devoted fan phenomenon of today's most unconventional supergroup. Having sold over 30 million albums since its triumphant 1991 debut 10, Pearl Jam brought the hard-edged, estranged and oftentimes angry sound of Seattle to the musical forefront. They pioneered a movement in music and culture that quickly became known as grunge. Imitators followed, and the band could have quickly lost touch with its fans and unpretentious ideals and become simply a money-making celebrity group. Instead, Eddie Vedde...

A Church for Rachel
This is a collection of discourses written for, and among, those who mourn, grieve, struggle, and wonder. The "Rachel" in the title is the Rachel in the Bible, the Rachel who died birthing Benjamin in Genesis, and subsequently became a symbol for sadness in Matthew and Jeremiah. The church in the title is any church anywhere that surrounds the Rachels of this world with good theology, strong support, and tender care.
Bermuda Settlers of the 17th Century
These "Genealogical Notes from Bermuda," were published serially in "Tyler's Quarterly" between 1942 and 1947 and have lain largely unnoticed by the genealogical researcher. The collected "Notes" consist of abstracts of the earliest known records of Bermuda settlers, and their value cannot be exaggerated, for many of the early settlers of Bermuda--or their descendants--removed to the mainland and were among the pioneer settlers of the Carolinas, Georgia, and Virginia. The records given here are arranged by family and appear thereunder in chronological sequence. They consist of a progression of abstracts of wills, administrations, deeds, court orders, indentures, arrival records, and so on, pertaining to every member of the family from the original immigrant up to as near the year 1700 as the records allow. Of paramount interest, however, are the compiler's own notes, which in many cases establish family relationships and carry the family backward to England and forward to the mainland. Altogether about 5,000 of the earliest settlers in the New World are identified--for the first time.
