This book dedicates 4-5 pages to each Governor's mansion in the United States, including Alaska and Hawaii. Written history of each home is included, as well as pictures of the different mansion's exteriors and interiors. At the end of the book are addresses to contact any of the 50 Governors or First Ladies of the United States...

For years I have looked for a book about the Governors' Mansions of the United States. This book was recommended to me by the director of Alabama's Governor's Mansion and I was very excited and proud to get it! With beautiful pictures and interesting stories of every mansion this book is a real gem. It is a great book for anyone interested in history, architecture, or interior decorating. Our country is indebted to First Lady Kathy Keating for all her hard work.

Believe it or not, this is the first of its kind, a complete look at every occupied governors' residence in the nation. This is a fun read with interesting historic tidbits about these beautiful homes. Great pictures too!

Brake is the best, the most analytical and most interesting book I have read about subcultures. He takes the approash of symbolic interactionism, theories, and uses it for what it is worth. I would recomend this book to all people interested in you cultures and youthsubcultures

I was in Oklahoma City the day of this incident, arriving within hours after the bombing and am more intimately familiar with many of the events connected with it than those who were not there. The plane I arrived on was full of people from many Federal agencies who were going down to investigate the event, as well as press on their way down to cover the story. It's a day I will never forget. What I found most touching about this book were the individual photos of those innocent 168 people who were executed for no good reason with a brief personal statement about each, e.g., the adorable 14-month old who "loved to have her picture taken," the 6-month old who was just beginning to crawl and had just learned to say "Dada," or the lovely young woman who had just been married for two months. It makes me want to cry all over again, as I did that day. I just came back from there earlier today and, last night, went to visit the site again (my third time), and was just as touched this time as the first time I went there. And the best thing is that the proceeds go to help the victime.

This is the book if you want to find out the general idea of brake systems in cars. The book covers general idea of brake without going into detail. If you have no knowledge about brakes, this should help you to jump on the braking area.

While the front half of this book written by Larry Carley is well-done, it only covers brake basics and original-equipment information. As a racer, I use the second half of the book, written and photigraphed by Mike Mavrigian, which covers racing brake systems in great detail, for every type of racing use. The race section is extremely well done and provides useful information for anyone setting up a brake system on a drag, oval or road race vehicle. The book should be called "Racing Brake Systems," as I've found this to the the information that really helps me. Good for both the beginning racer as well as the seasoned racer. Plenty of great tips, and lots of things I've never thought of before. Very useful.
