Fire and Gold is the first general history of San Francisco to be published in many years. It provides not only a much-needed comprehensive look at the City's past, but also provides an unusual synthesis of those historic elements which have created the current urban area known as San Francisco. Fracchia's text has been supplemented by more than two hundred photographs, chosen by Robert MacKimmie, photo curator of the California Historical Society. These photographs, many rarely seen before, illustrate San Francisco's development from two tiny settlements - a mission and a presidio - to today's bustling multi-cultural metropolis.

The Heartland's Heritage travels through Fresno County's spectacular mountains and rivers and its valley blessed with fertile soil - the richest agricultural land in the world. It explores the lives of the area's American Indian people; the coming of the Spaniards, explorers and trappers; the excitement of the discovery of gold; the arrival of settlers; the beginnings of irrigation and agriculture; the building of a railroad; and the creation of cities. It is a story of people - courageous, hardy pioneers - who dared to come to a raw valley and through hard work, ingenuity and persistence create a heartland that feeds the nation. This is the story and the heritage of the place that is the heart of California.

The City of Destiny remains unsure of what its destiny should be. The land is much changed from that which George Vancouver called "the most lovely country that can be imagined" where "the labour of its inhabitants would be amply rewarded in the bounties which nature seems ready to bestow on cultivation." Even so, an anonymous visitor to the Pacific Northwest, quoted in the January 12, 1894, issue of Harper's Weekly, had it right: "Well gentlemen, if I were a man of wealth seeking a home and investments on Puget Sound, I would live in Tacoma and invest in Seattle." (Murray Morgan)

Pittsburgh Legends and Visions is a long-awaited overview of Pittsburgh's history from its 18th-century founding as a military outpost and "Gateway to the West," through its transformation into "The Forge of the Universe," on to its maturity as an industrial and then post-industrial metropolis. The city's legends speak to human ingenuity. Throughout each epoch of its development, Pittsburgh has attracted many of the nation's most talented and ambitious individuals who saw, and seized, opportunity at the Point. These visionaries tamed and exploited the land and its resources, crafted civic improvements, created a rich cultural life and fueled a flexible and robust economy. The book is enhanced by the addition of profiles of businesses and institutions that are making their mark in Pittsburgh history today.
