The Book That Gets Better with Age
This is an engaging collection of aphorisms and stories about the things that can get better with age. It offers an insightful and at times humorous look through the looking glass of aging. Because people of age have lived long lives, they have accumulated valuable experience that gives them an advantage that most young people simply don't yet have: wisdom. Wisdom is the ultimate form of intelligence because it is created by combining knowledge with actual experience. This book is a chronicle of the wisdom gained with age and is a gift for all ages, but especially those who are young, because it offers a privileged glimpse of the future.
Chessie System
In 1972 three great railroads-the Chesapeake & Ohio, the Baltimore & Ohio, and the Western Maryland-joined forces as the Chessie System, their diesel engines resplendent in a brilliant new yellow, blue, and vermillion scheme sporting the stylized "Chess-C" logo based on the C&O's familiar mascot, Chessie the kitten. The story of the Chessie System, unique in railroad history, unfolds in all its grit and glory in this book about a rail operation that combined the best of tradition and innovation to a remarkable. Dave Ori traces the railroad's origins from the first affiliation of the B&O and C&O in the early 1960s to the inclusion of the WM a decade later securing routes that spanned the Northeast and Midwest. He also examines the Chessie System itself, from the details of its operating divisions, major facilities, diesel fleet, and intermodal operation to the technological advances that distinguished its reign and its integration in the vast CSX system in 1987.

Terry-Thomas Tells Tales
Terry-Thomas will be remembered by millions for his inimitable portrayals of the upperclass English cad in such classic films as Those Magnificent Men in Their Flying Machines and How to Murder Your Wife, and with this characteristically witty autobiography completed shortly before his death - he has left a frank, moving and vivid account of his extravagant and idiosyncratic life.
