Home Improvement & Design

Whether you just want to investigate the condition of your own home, or whether you are looking to make a major investment in a new home, this book will give you the knowledge you need to examine the building and evaluate what you find. Designed for the non-professional, it can be used to conduct your own preliminary House Inspection or to evaluate your Inspector's report. Using the reproducible forms in the back of the book, you will have a checklist of possible trouble-spots and of the information you will need to collect to make an informed analysis. Easy to read and easy to follow, the "tour" section takes you on a virtual tour of a typical house that prepares you for your own actual experience. The "systems" section explains how a house works, in clear language, and gives you the detailed knowledge you need to interpret your findings. The "index" allows you to quickly reference specific questions and situations that you come across. There is no easier-to-use, more accurate, more comprehensive book on house inspection available.

Chicago's Railroads and Parmelee's Transfer Company: A Century of Travel

Together, for over a century, Chicago's railroads and the Parmelee Transfer Company moved millions of tourists, business travelers, immigrants, settlers, soldiers, families, even corpses. The hub of America's great railway system, Chicago was a maze of depots connected by the Parmelee Company, who in their hundred-year history ferried both the illustrious (George Armstrong Custer, on his way to Little Bighorn) and the ill-prepared (new immigrants, remorselessly preyed upon by Chicago's lodging-house shills). With rare illustrations from fifty private collections and museums, Robert Parmelee's gripping and personal history evokes a wonderfully American story. As the nation expanded westward, saw a boom in commerce and tourism, experienced world wars and world fairs, and flocked to the newly opened national parks, it was the Chicago railroads and the plucky Parmelees who made sure Americans reached their destinations. Publication coincides with the sesquicentennial of Chicago's railway system.
