Pacific Beach, California, was founded in 1887 by land speculators after the establishment of the railroad to San Diego, which resulted in the formation of many ocean-side communities. A “land boom” ensued, yet was short-lived due to the Great Depression of the 1890s. World War II brought a torrent of people to Pacific Beach―workers, sailors, and Marines, as well as their families―increasing its population five-fold. After the war, many residents remained, thus ensuring the growth of the community and the number of businesses, schools, and local services. A photographic history, Pacific Beach includes images that illustrate the community’s birth, hardships, and prosperity since its incorporation, as well as the people, places, and attractions that today make the area a well-known destination for visitors from around the world. Featuring images of some of Pacific Beach’s most historic landmarks, including the Crystal Pier and the Brown Military Academy, as well as local businesses, architecture, and churches, this pictorial tribute celebrates the history of this San Diego suburb from its earliest days.

In the fall of 1913, Laura and Earle Smith, a young Iowa couple, made the gutsy—some might say foolhardy—decision to homestead in Wyoming. There, they built their first house, a claim shanty half dug out of the ground, hauled every drop of their water from a spring over a half-mile away, and fought off rattlesnakes and boredom on a daily basis. Soon, other families moved to nearby homesteads, and the Smiths built a house closer to those neighbors. The growing community built its first public schoolhouse and celebrated the Fourth of July together—although the festivities were cut short because of snow. By 1917, however, the Smiths had moved back to Iowa, leasing their land to a local rancher and using the proceeds to fund Earle’s study of law. The Smiths lived in Iowa for most of the rest of their lives, and sometime after the mid-1930s, Laura wrote this clear, vivid, witty, and self-deprecating memoir of their time in Wyoming, a book that captures the pioneer spirit of the era and of the building of community against daunting odds.

This is a revised edition covering common diseases seen in primary health care. Good family practice demands a sound knowledge of the nature of the diseases in the community. Not only are traditional diagnostic and therapeutic skills necessary; one also needs the application of an understanding of the frequency and distribution of the diseases and an awareness of their likely natural history - their course and outcome. For each of the diseases commonly seen in primary health care, the following questions are asked and answered: what is it, who gets it when, how does it present, how is the diagnsis confirmed, what to do and what happens? This book forms an introduction and source book for all members of the primary health care team, in particularly trainers and trainees. It should also be of value to anyone wanting a concise overview of common diseases as they occur in the community.
