Foreign Oil Dependence
This anthology explores the issue of the United States' dependence on oil. Can the country attain energy independence? Does the dependence on foreign oil weaken the economy? Is dependence on foreign oil a security threat? Can the United States transition from oil if it must, or is the country too deeply invested? This book gives evidence to both sides of these questions. Features previously published content from sources such as Jordan Weissman, Anne Korin, Pew Charitable Trusts, and the National Corn Growers Association.

I Wake Up Screening!
George Stevens was the first to know - months before Frank D. Gilroy had even an inkling. As they scouted locations for The Only Game in Town in 1968, Stevens repeatedly handed Gilroy his viewfinder to consider possible scenes. Asked to explain why he was so insistent on this procedure, Stevens answered with certainty, "You're going to direct some day". Gilroy recalled Stevens' words two years later when, unhappy with the limited role of screenwriter, he optioned Desperate Characters by Paula Fox, determined not only to adapt her novel for the screen but to direct the film.

Marriage Records of Brunswick County, Virginia, 1730-1852
This compilation was originally undertaken at the request of the Board of Supervisors of Brunswick County, who suggested that Miss Fothergill copy and index the Brunswick County marriage bonds from 1752, when they first appear among miscellaneous papers, until the commencement of vital records in 1852. When once she set to the task, Miss Fothergill discovered that she could improve the basic list of marriages by adding inferential marriage proofs from estate settlements, wills, and deeds. The resulting compilation, running from 1730 to 1852, is a composite of more than 3,000 marriage records. As is customary in such compilations, men are listed in alphabetical order, with an index of brides comprising a separate section. Incidental information found among the records, and employed here, includes references to places of residence and to guardians, sureties, and parents. All told the work indentifies 7,500 brides, grooms, parents and sureties, and the exact date of the marriage or bond. With an improved index.
