Jan Friedman's Eccentric America proved that the most unlikely events and landmarks could become tourist attractions. This award-winning title is dedicated to the sheer lunacy of California and her citizens, covering the biggest, the best, the wackiest and weirdest of the state's people and places. From art-car and golf-cart parades to the Valentine's Day Sex Tour at the San Francisco Zoo; from a festival that moons Amtrak to a town with its own language; from obsessed collectors of Pez, yo-yos, and bananas to kitschy theme motels and a man who built a three-storey mountain out of hay, adobe, and old paint. Eccentric California takes an in-depth look at one very peculiar place.

The first book to exalt the oxymoron that is California culture. CA has more people, bowling alleys, and the worst air pollution than any other state in the Union. With anecdotes, stats, license plates, epitaphs, and ad slogans, this unique collection proves CA is indeed the country's "most altered state". Cartoons and photos.

A delightful romp around the British Isles searching out the mad marquess, the eccentric earl, the barmy baron, and the daft duke and gathering a fair collection of crackpot inventors, weird adventurers and fascinatingly and not to mention insanely curious customs along the way. All of which make this rainy little island home to that remarkable breed of individual - the British eccentric.This expanded book still doesn't tell you where Stonehenge is, but it does tell you where ten spookier stone circles are where there will be no crowds, no admission charges and no parking problems... This is a book for the intelligent, humorous, curious tourist who doesn't go with the crowd. It is also a great armchair read that has been known to have readers weeping with mirth at the weird ways of the British.

For over four centuries, California has been an ever-changing landscape of innovation and revolution, triumph and tragedy. In Fascinating True Tales from Old California, author Colleen Adair Fliedner mines the history of the Golden State to collect more than fifty tales of famous Californians and their escapades from 1542 through 1940. For many, like James Lick, Leland Stanford, and John Downey, California was a place to strike it rich. Others sought freedom and a new beginning, including Chinese immigrants and African Americans, like philanthropist and freed slave, Biddy Mason. And still some characters just wanted to live their lives outside of society’s rules, like swindler James Reavis or the cross-dressing stagecoach driver, Charley Parkhurst. Readers will be entertained and enlightened as they take a trip through California’s colorful past.

Are we the sum of our imperfect memories or the captives of a fate that teases us with the illusion of choice? This exquisitely-written, coming of age memoir by noted lawyer Cary Lerman takes us back to a seemingly more innocent time during the 1950's and 1960's, when choices appeared clearer and dreams more attainable. Growing up in Albany Park, Chicago, on a diet of a supportive, working class family and the allure of moving to the Golden State, Cary's memoir explores larger themes we grapple with each day. Weaving together humorous scenes and poignant episodes, his memoir reveals how our reconstructed, fallible memories become pillars of our understanding of ourselves and asks whether the choices we make are guided by the gentle nudges of a greater force or are they simply the outcome of a series of random events. Do we ever really know the difference between a blessing and a curse? His graphic vignettes are punctuated with vivid characters, humor, youthful adventures and gifts of life lessons. Together, they teach us what no one should forget - how the ordinary events in our lives make each human life extraordinary.

On the run from a loathsome proposal, a woman receives a surprising offer that might just lead her to true love . . . Nell Bradbourne’s life is turned upside down when she loses her estate to her cousin, Jarvis. When he pursues her hand in marriage, too, Nell flees to Bath. It’s not long before she encounters the dashing and mischievous Brandon Manningford, whose ailing father—a cold and distant man—has just burdened him with a wholly unexpected task. Brandon and Nell both have something to gain by entering into an alliance—but what will happen when their feelings for each other threaten to upset their tenuous partnership? The Bath Eccentric's Son is the 3rd book in the Bath Trilogy, but you may enjoy reading the series in any order.
