Here's a big second serving for sassafras softdrink lovers. Ever since Tom Morrison's first beverage book, Root Beer Advertising and Collectibles, was published, a second edition about this popular pop was inevitable. More than 650 photographs of root beer bottles, cans, dispensers, mugs, signs and emblems, and more are depicted in this volume, which was made possible by the groupings of some of the largest root beer collections in America. Root beer tidbits, recipes, lists of clubs and newsletters, and a guide to the brand names also make this book a valuable guide for those who want to know more about these popular collectibles.

Between 1900 and 1950, Americans built the most powerful steam locomotives of all time--enormous engines that powered a industry of colossal scale and intensity. They were deceptively simple machines yet even as the technology was being perfected it was becoming obscure. Despite immense and sustained effort, they remained grossly inefficient in their use of increasingly costly fuel and labor. In the end, they baffled their masters and, as soon as diesel-electric technology provided an alternative, the steam locomotive disappeared from American railroads. Drawing on the work of eminent engineers and railroad managers of the day, this lavishly illustrated history chronicles the challenges, triumphs and failures of steam locomotive development and operation.

Between the years 1903, when man first took to the skies in a powered aeroplane, and 1982, when a scheduled airliner landed automatically in blind conditions of dense fog, the problem of all-weather, anytime flying was solved. This is the story of the evolution of instruments, radar, radio communications, fly by wire system, and much more. A fascinating read for all aviation enthusiasts.

For the Record is the first detailed history of the second biggest competition in the GAA calendar, the National Football and Hurling Leagues. It describes all the National League finals in chronological order, from the inaugural finals in 1926 to the deciders of 2002, over 180 games. Many finals drew greater crowds than provincial finals. All 32 counties, plus New York, were involved in either a final or semi-final. 14 counties won football league finals, with Kerry holding the most, while Tipperary top a group of 10 in hurling. Each match report is followed by complete line-outs, over 5000 player names, including christian names. Over 80 team photographs have been unearthed to compliment the text and accompany lineouts. There have been some classic contests in the competition, perhaps none more so than the 1993 hurling league final between Cork and Wexford, when it took 210 minutes, three games, to decide the outcome. This story of stirring matches attempts to do justice to the great players who graced these games and is a worthy salute to their followers who travelled in their thousands.
