During the 1800 pioneers made their way across the United States in search of new and prosperous land. Despite illness, lack of food, and challenging weather the pioneers never looked back. Families settled on their new land and the American Frontier was born. Before long whole towns grew around the homes and began to shape America as we know it today. This book tells of the daily life on the American Frontier, from what people ate and how they dressed, to where and how they lived and went to school.

A decade after she published Images of America: Lincoln Park, Chicago, Lincoln Park native and current resident Melanie Ann Apel is back with another look of this gem of a neighborhood. Lincoln Park Revisited takes the reader on another tour of the neighborhood, peering into its schools and workplaces, visiting its vast park, also called Lincoln Park, complete with a zoo, conservatory, gardens, farm, and beaches, pondering the difference between a Lincoln Park winter and a Lincoln Park summer. It is a fresh look into the past and a memory book of the present, to be preserved for future generations. As the bustling neighborhood with the hometown feel continues to grow and change, this new collection of more than 200 historical and modern-day photographs serves as a much-awaited companion piece to Lincoln Park, Chicago.

Cystic Fibrosis: The Ultimate Teen Guide leaves no aspect of this disease untold. Based on a series of interviews with young people with CF and their family members, the day-to-day dealings of life as a cystic fibrosis patient are described. Some of the topics covered include a description of the illness; a comprehensive discussion of who gets the disease and why; an explanation of the procedures involved in diagnosing CF; coverage of the arduous daily therapies involved in maintaining the life of a person with CF; and the challenges of dealing with CF-related diabetes. These teens' stories reflect how they live their lives to the fullest, how they are not bitter about their situations, and how they look forward to new medications, more-effective therapies, and―one day soon―a cure. Also included are stories told by people, now in their 30s and 40s, having CF who are still alive and coping well with the disease, demonstrating that progress is being made and that they can hope to live beyond their teen years, something that wasn't likely 20 years ago. This book is the ideal guide for any reader who wants positive medical information about CF, offering an extensive glossary and listings of books, websites, and organizations about Cystic Fibrosis.
