A treasury of facts, fables, historic fates, important dates, battery mates, potentates, heroes, hotdogs, dead dogs, dedication, bad hops, Bavarian hops, brawls, pratfalls, overalls, bats and balls, and selective miscellany relating to the game of baseball as it has occurred in, around, and emanating from Cincinnati, Ohio through and upon the occasion of the city's two hundredth birthday with consideration given to the unusual lineup of fine men that have come from within or thereabouts and also to whatever has been extraordinary, original, salient, significant, smart, amusing, or even marginally interesting in the distinguished annals of the game that began professionally in a place that hasn't forgotten it. A graphic tableau of discerning narrative, trenchant photographs, illustrations, charts, arrangements, profiles, anecdotes, witticisms, myths, facts, records, quotes, observations, judgments, and other points of general curiosity to arouse the most sated fan and his next of kin.

The Third Edition of The Ohio Almanac may be the most important publishing event in Ohio since the second edition. Long regarded as the mandatory compilation of all things Ohio, the latest edition has not only collected the most recent census references, it has added more than a hundred pages of new material. No mere collection of loose facts, the third edition is fuller, deeper, livelier, and more useful. It has furthered its hybrid definition as both almanac and encyclopedia -- new biographies, charts, lists, single-page features, explanatory asides, and hundreds of links and capsule web reviews of Ohio's handiest sites. And it has added a host of new contributors -- some of Ohio's best writers, journalists, historians, librarians, and academics. Gathered in one indispensible volume is the best and most creative assessment of how Ohio works. It is at once compendium. history, lesson-planner, and doorstop. Mandatory as reference, unforgettable as entertainment, it provides the freshest, most original look at Ohio since Henry Howe did it on horseback over a century and a half ago.

Through the Minds, hearts, and voices of some of the best-loved Browns, Alan Natali follows his bestselling Woody's Boys with a sprawling testament to the man, team, and era that made pro football into America's sport. In his second voice biography of iconic American coaches, Natali gives us a portrait of one of the most complex and significant figures in the history of American sport. But Brown's Town is much more than that. Through his own eloquent prose and the detailed voices of nearly two dozen players including Lou Groza, Otto Graham, Dante Lavelli, Gary Collins, Walt Michaels, Dick Schafrath, Milt Plum, Ken Konz, Jim Houston, Jim Ray Smith, Vince Costello, Galen Fiss, John Wooten, Dub Jones, Ross Fichtner, and Paul Wiggin, Natali has also given us a fascinating mosaic of team personalities, the saga of the Cleveland Browns, the evolution of professional football and America at mid-century. His original Browns in the All-American Conference are considered the greatest talent roundup in the history of pro sports. In 1950, in his first NFL game -- when the Browns crushed the defending champions, Philadelphia -- his offense proved itself to be the prototype of the modern pro offense. He was feared, hated and almost universally respected. The divine-right monarch, said defensive end Paul Wiggin, who also said, I think I would have killed for him.

He was the man who followed The Legend, exiled forever to his fate as the man in the shadow of Woody Hayes. He was fired from Ohio State in a stormy Thanksgiving controversy played out in national headlines. Yet in terms of tenure, only The Legend himself had a better record at OSU. Filled with the recruiting, the behind-the-scenes stories of the big games, the controversies both on and off the field -- and the unforgettable presence of Woody -- Earle is a story of toughness, honor, and independence. It is, finally, a coach's life at the pinnacle, conforming only to the code of the field itself, where movement is ruled by perseverance, pride, and gritty determination.

Jane ware's Second Volume of Building Ohio, subtitled A Traveler's Guide to Ohio's Rural Architecture, is a wonderfully anecdotal revelation of the buildings found in the state's smaller cities and towns, as well as the countryside itself. This is the architecture born of Ohio's great and optimistic pre-1920s energy when the state was near the apex of America's wealth and importance. At some moment in the past, virtually every place in Ohio had money and some of it ended up in buildings, writes Ms. Ware.And so she demonstrates, taking us on a tour that includes churches, schools, factories, castles, frat houses, railroad stations, hog barns, and at least one water treatment plant. We meet the world's only female ironmaster, see Philip Johnson's tool shed, and visit Dave Longaberger's seven-story basket with the 70-ton handles. Building Ohio is filled with stone masons, carpenters, groundkeepers, activists, rehabbers, founders, donors, even a boiler attendant.Ms. Ware's book, the product of eight years plumbing the architectural nooks of Ohio, details the remarkable built landscape of Ohio and the people who left us such a rich heritage. Their work is monumental art, buildings to give us pause -- and to instruct and soothe us with their timeless beauty.
