This catalogue presents over three-hundred photographic images of watermarks found in Italian printed maps of the sixteenth century. Such watermarks are essential tools in identifying paper moulds and are part of the evidence that bibliographers use in dating the paper on which maps and other documents were printed. The images reproduced in the catalogue have been selected from some 1200 beta-radiographs of watermarks gathered from Italian printed maps issued mostly in composite atlases printed in Venice and Rome between 1540 and 1600. These beta-radiographs reveal minute variations that are almost invisible to the eye. A special feature of the book is a visual index of miniature black-and-white line tracings of the watermarks. Fifteen years in the making, this catalogue will be an essential reference for bibliographers and archivists dealing with rare books and maps of the period, for map collectors, map librarians, and scholars and librarians working with early printed items and manuscripts.

    This extraordinary map, the first of its kind created for any state, is a wonderful way to discover the history, culture, land, and people of Wisconsin. Nearly 1500 points of interest are located on the map, including the sites of Laura Ingalls Wilder’s Little House in the Big Woods near Pepin, the World’s Largest Fish Fry at Port Washington, John Muir’s boyhood farm near Montello, the Honor the Earth Pow Wow at Lac Court Oreilles, the nation’s first kindergarten in Watertown, Hoard’s Dairy Shrine in Fort Atkinson, the Pabst Mansion in Milwaukee, the great Peshtigo Fire, the Green Bay Packer Hall of Fame, and hundreds of other fascinating places.    The front of the map shows the entire state—topography, roads, waterways, historic sites and historical markers, archaeological areas, physical features and landscapes of cultural significance, notable architecture, areas of ethnic and religious importance, historic communities, festivals and fairs, lighthouses, museums and tours, colleges, parks and recreational trails, rustic roads, and places with celebrated literary, musical, and artistic connections. The back shows many more sites of interest on smaller cultural maps of sixteen cities. All the maps incorporate a shaded relief background that displays Wisconsin’s rich variation in land forms, making it possible to see how local cultures are inextricably linked to regional landscapes. Six small thematic maps emphasize this linkage and show historical changes in vegetation, population patterns, and local economies.Inset Maps for 16 CitiesAppleton, Eau Claire, Fond du Lac, Green Bay, Janesville/Beloit, Kenosha/Racine, La Crosse, Madison, Manitowoc, Milwaukee county including Waukesha, downtown Milwaukee, Oshkosh, Sheboygan, Stevens Point, Superior, Wausau6 Theme MapsNative American Cultures from Pre-contact to the Present, Patterns of Euro-American Settlement, Regions of Euro-American Culture, Economic Regions, Physical Geography and Glacial Processes, Vegetation in the 19th Century & late 20th CenturySite KeyIncluded with the map is a 16-page booklet with a key to the numbered symbols on the map.

"Here for the first time - is the true, documented story of Hitler's Q-Boats, the Nazi's secret weapon in naval warfare, whose toil of Allied shipping was greater than that of all the German battleships and all the mines laid by the German Navy and Air Force combined! From 1940 through 1943 these powerful floating arsenals - disguised as innocent neutral freighters - roved the seven seas, played havoc with Allied Grand Strategy and sank more than 130 vessels. The Secret Raiders tells the whole, fascinating story of these the battles they fought, the captains who commanded them and the men who manned them."
