This fascinating collection of over 200 picture postcards provides a nostalgic insight into the changing history of Birmingham during the period 1900-1945. For over a quarter of this time Britain was at war and the political and social changes experienced were immense, not least in Birmingham, a major industrial city. Each image is accompanied by a detailed caption, bringing the past alive and describing many aspects of life in the city, including chapters on wartime, work, sport, shopping, entertainment and celebrations, providing a vital record of vanished vistas and past practices. This book will appeal to anyone with an interest in the history of the area, and also awaken memories of a bygone time for those who worked or lived in the "Second City".

Before the advent of the internal combustion engine, the only reliable means of getting about on Birmingham's roads was by walking or by horse. Many businesses ran fleets of horses and wagons to deliver goods around the city and horse trams carried the burgeoning population of the metropolis to and from work while hansom cabs carried the well-off to the theater or to the city's parks. This study takes a tour of the city, using images of horses at work to tell the story of the growth of the city's road transport network. From the city center to suburbs such as Aston, Birchfield, Bourneville, Handsworth, Harborne, Lozells, Perry Barr, Saltley, and Sparkhill, it provides a flavor of a time long gone, when horses, carts, coaches, and trams were a common sight on the city's streets.

A REVOLUTIONARY NEW APPROACH to reading greens and making putts.
Everything you need to know to become a GREAT putter. Learn how to read greens, anticipate breaks, and evaluate putts, plus tips for choosing your putting strategy. 
Comprehensive Keys to the Green shows you how to get the right feedback from a chip or putt, so you can determine if the line was off, or the speed was off (or both), and, if so, by precisely how much -- critical information for your putting success.

*** REVISED AND EXPANDED SECOND EDITION *** (originally published as "Curing Gingivitis Painlessly")  Gum disease is no fun! The standard dental solution can be very painful, but a natural way of brushing teeth reversed my own gingivitis painlessly. You should try it!  It’s best if you catch it early, so monitoring by a dental hygienist is recommended. But once you’ve identified the problem, you can solve it easily and effectively with a natural dental care regimen. (And there is no better way to prevent it.)  Of course, if you’ve liked brushing your teeth, you never would have had the problem in the first place. But as a kid, you probably didn’t like it, and your kids probably don’t today. Well, maybe it’s because of the taste of toothpaste! After all, we know that brushing after eating is recommended—but who wants to replace the lingering taste of good food with an antiseptic medicine? That’s where this program shines. You and your kids are going to love it.  Just combine some simple ingredients that taste like food, because they are food. They’re found at your grocery store and they’re easy to prepare. Even better, they really do work. They kill bacteria on contact.  With the right ingredients and technique, you can stop gingivitis in its tracks. More than that, regular use will give you the best, most powerful defense against those nasty bacteria for the rest of your life.  Now you can brush regularly and avoid painful, expensive dental procedures in the bargain. Read this book today and say goodbye to your dental woes tomorrow!
