Genealogies in the Library of Congress
This ten-year supplement lists 10,000 titles acquired by the Library of Congress since 1976--this extraordinary number reflecting the phenomenal growth of interest in genealogy since the publication of Roots.

Mais qui donc est Yves Plumey ?
Ce fils du Morbihan en Bretagne, dans la région de l’Ouest de la France, fils du diocèse de Vannes, se déploie en cette terre camerounaise, passionné de Jésus Christ comme saint Eugène de Mazenod. Cette passion le conduit à se dévouer sans réserve et avec perspicacité à tout donner pour que ce peuple au raz-du-sol se relève et marche. P. Ferdinand Owono, o.m.i.
Frames that Speak: Cartouches on Early Modern Maps
This lavishly illustrated book is the first systematic exploration of cartographic cartouches, the decorated frames that surround the title, or other text or imagery, on historic maps. It addresses the history of their development, the sources cartographers used in creating them, and the political, economic, historical, and philosophical messages their symbols convey. Cartouches are the most visually appealing parts of maps, and also spaces where the cartographer uses decoration to express his or her interests—so they are key to interpreting maps. The book discusses thirty-three cartouches in detail, which range from 1569 to 1821, and were chosen for the richness of their imagery. The book will open your eyes to a new way of looking at maps.
