CHAPEL HILL, NORTH CAROLINA: From Chapel Hill Press comes Following in Their Footsteps, a comprehensive work on the complex profession of land surveying. Not only is land surveying a complicated profession, but it also has a rich history and a large, though exclusive, following. It is for this audience and any other person interested in North Carolina History that Following in Their Footsteps is written. Most people in North Carolina remember the moving of Cape Hatteras Lighthouse; did you know that lady’s hand soap and a $60 plumb bob proved to be key in the historic move?

Through anecdotes, facts, and illustrative pictures, Following in Their Footsteps lays out a complete history of land surveying. Following in Their Footsteps is designed with the educated reader in mind. It is the definitive keepsake for any person who knows and loves the world of land surveying.

An illustrated celebration of a Carolina education, I Want to Go to UNC! tells the story of a child’s dream of going to college in Chapel Hill. The young Tar Heel’s determination is tested when a crowd of people tries to change his mind about his plans – one by one, they present him with tales of other universities from throughout the galaxy. Will he be swayed by their arguments or will he remain true to his school? Andy Griffith calls I Want to Go to UNC! "wonderful," and Dean Smith recommends it for Tar Heels of all ages (including his own grandchildren). Illustrated in vibrant colors and marked by clever twists and turns, I Want to Go to UNC! is a timeless book to be enjoyed by young and old alike. About the Authors: Ripley Rand is a state Superior Court Judge who lives in Raleigh and who in fact went to UNC (B.A. 1990, J.D. 1995). The early preferences of Ripley’s son Greene for late night entertainment sparked the creation of this book. Jorin Garguilo is a multimedia professional and improvisor who lives in Chicago. Jorin went to school about thirty miles from UNC at N.C. State (B.S. 1997); his father introduced him to comic books at a young age, cultivating his interest in visual storytelling. I Want to Go to UNC! is their first book.

<p>In False Dawn, first-time author Stephen Negron tells tales of a paradise that he laments is now slipping away. His journey, begun humbly as a laborer on a production-room floor, took him into the Amazon rain forests and through South American river and mountain regions during a time when such locales were still unspoiled. The real-life adventures in this book bring readers face-to-face with cannibals and head shrinkers, crocodiles and piranhas. But Negron also explains the inner workings of international commerce as it used to be and even gives a little blessing on the way. This book, a treat to read, explores the wide range of human possibilities.</p>

Historic Flat Rock, North Carolina, in the 1930s, with its unique blend of Appalachian and Southern, low-country cultures is the setting for mystery, seduction, and murderous moonshiners in David Hubbells new novel, Flat Rock Harvest, published by Chapel Hill Press. Through a series of joys and hardships our young protagonist, Doug, comes of age. A woman seduces Doug, then rejects him, leaving him heartbroken. He is introduced to the area s rich history, and to medical practice as it was in the 1930s, and he is plunged into the still-controversial matter of abortion when a friend dies from a botched procedure.
