Imagine My Joy
The story of Yitzhak and Gita Pearl Cramer, Shimon Levi and Dobeh Blinick and their descendants is the account of one extended family but also a reflection of its times. Told in large part through first-person recollections, this family history traces the events that shaped two centuries, from Vitebsk and pre-revolutionary Czarist Russia to mid-20th Century North America. More than the author suspected when he began his research, the family progenitors and those who followed were directly affected by the major currents of the past 200 years: the edicts, anti-Semitism and heavy-handed policing of the Russian czars; the tragedy of world war; the great 19th century escape from grim impoverishment and discrimination in Europe to the bright hope of North America; economic blight and later post-war achievement. This story – reflecting the passions, dreams and humor of these people – is their legacy.

The Lives and Legacies of a Carceral Island
This book is a biographical history of Rottnest Island, a small carceral island offshore from Western Australia. Rottnest is also known as Wadjemup, or "the place across the water where the spirits are", by Noongar, the Indigenous people of south-western Australia. Through a series of biographical case studies of the diverse individuals connected to the island, the book argues that their particular histories lend Rottnest Island a unique heritage in which Indigenous, maritime, imperial, colonial, penal, and military histories intersect with histories of leisure and recreation. Tracing the way in which Wadjemup/Rottnest Island has been continually re-imagined and re-purposed throughout its...

Every-name Index for the Two Volumes of History of Frederick County, Maryland by T.J.C. Williams and Folger McKinsey
For all of its magnificence, this irreplaceable work has a major shortcoming--it lacks an every-name index. Now, thanks to the prodigious efforts of Patricia A. Fogle, Clearfield Company is proud to announce the publication of a complete name index to Williams and McKinsey's "History of Frederick County, Maryland." Like the work it is based upon, the index is divided into two parts. The index to Volume I (the historical narrative) takes up the first third of Mrs. Fogle's effort, while the remaining two thirds cover the genealogical sketches in Volume II. All told, the researcher will find more than 40,000 individuals named in this index. All individuals or libraries who currently own the "History of Frederick County, Maryland" will want to purchase Mrs. Fogle's finding aid as an invaluable companion to the original volumes. Those researching Frederick County who do not own the History but can gain access to the base volumes will also want to keep Mrs. Fogle's Index on hand, since it unlocks an enormous number of links to the county's past.
