Bluff Your Way in New York (Bluffer's Guides (Cliff))

Ken Lawless

Centennial

Excerpt from the Preface: The purpose of this book is to act as an informational guide, and to inform the reader as to what is possible in the formation of a collection, plus informing those who have one or a few of these notes, what he has, and that he has a preservation obligation. It is also meant to be a commentary on a portion of the financial history of Nebraska; that portion that has been found by research and by conversing with the general populace of today to encompass so many Nebraskans. The people are almost forgotten, and many of the banks have been destroyed, but the most forgotten of some forgotten Nebraskans are the notes themselves, for even though the nationals were born in Washington D.C., all the notes in this book were conceived in Nebraska and grew to maturity with the name "Nebraska" on them. This is the first attempt to assemble a pictorial and informational guide to the complete paper money issues of Nebraska on such a massive scale.

A Glimpse of Ghosts

Valerie McKenzie

<p>In this intensely personal and moving memoir, Lisa Karlin provides a gripping account of her family’s hurricane evacuation experiences and all that followed in the decade after Hurricane Katrina. Her story begins in August 2005, when Lisa, her husband, thirteen-year-old daughter, eleven-year-old son, and two dogs evacuated New Orleans for what they thought would be a two-day “hurrication.” Her day-by-day account of the weeks that follow vividly chronicles the unprecedented displacement of thousands of Americans, and on a personal level, describes how her family makes the trifecta of major life decisions: where to live, where to work, and where to enroll their children in school. With unflinching candor, Lisa Karlin provides a first-hand commentary on how everyday life has been impacted by Katrina’s aftermath and how, a decade later, there are still lingering effects of one of the most devastating events in American history.</p>
