Not All Diamonds and Rosé
THE INSTANT #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER! “I like to think of Not All Diamonds and Rosé as the ultimate reunion. I know readers will be surprised, entertained, and even shocked at what’s in store." —Andy Cohen Dave Quinn's Not All Diamonds and Rosé is the definitive oral history of the hit television franchise, from its unlikely start in the gated communities of Orange County to the pop culture behemoth it has become—spanning nine cities, hundreds of cast members, and millions of fans. What is it really like to be a housewife? We all want to know, but only the women we love to watch and the people who make the show have the whole story. Well, listen in close, because they’re abou...
The Lost Colonists
Issued on America's 400th Ann'y. of the first English attempts to explore and settle North Amer. Discusses the charter Queen Eliz. I of England granted Walter Ralegh (Raleigh) in 1584, upon which Ralegh sent a reconnaissance expedition to what is now North Carolina. This was followed by a colony under the leadership of Ralph Lane, which established headquarters in Roanoke Island. Lane and his men spent nearly a year in the area. In the summer of 1587, Gov. John White and a colony of 115 men, women, and children settled there, and the first English child was born in America. When Gov. White returned to England for supplies, his departure was the last contact with the settlers who constituted the "Lost Colony," renowned in history, lit., and folklore. Maps and illustrations.
Set Fair for Roanoke
Quinn's study brings together the results of his nearly fifty years of research on the voyages outfitted by Sir Walter Raleigh and the efforts to colonize Roanoke Island. It is a fascinating book, rich in details of the colonists' experiences in the New World. Quinn "solves" the mystery of the Lost Colony with the controversial conclusion that many of the colonists lived with the Powhatans until the first decade of the seventeenth century when they were massacred.
The First Colonists
Sixteenth-century narratives collected by Richard Hakluyt and drawings by John White offer remarkable firsthand evidence of the first voyages and attempts at colonization of the New World by the English.

England and the Discovery of America, 1481-1620
First published in 1974, England and the Discovery of America places the early explorations of the English in North America in the broad context of 15th and 16th century history. Marshalling evidence that cannot be pushed aside and sifting a mass of fascinating detail (including problems of cartography and the Vinland Map controversy), Professor Quinn presents circumstantial indications pointing to 1481 as the date or the discovery of America by Bristol voyagers – fishermen seeking new sources of cod, and merchant sailors with maps carrying promise of unexploited Atlantic islands. Whereas England did little to follow up her early lead, Quinn demonstrates that English initiatives from the 1...

The Jamestown Project
Listen to a short interview with Karen Ordahl Kupperman Host: Chris Gondek | Producer: Heron & Crane Captain John Smith's 1607 voyage to Jamestown was not his first trip abroad.
