DISCOVER THE INCREDIBLE STORY OF AMERICA THROUGH ITS BEAUTIFUL AND DIVERSE POSTAGE STAMPS IN THIS EXUBERANT AND ALWAYS CHARMING HISTORY. In A History of America in Thirty-six Postage Stamps, Chris West explores America's own rich philatelic history. From George Washington's dour gaze to the charging buffalo of the western frontier and Lindbergh's soaring biplane, American stamps are a vivid window into our country's extraordinary and distinctive past. With the always accessible and spirited West as your guide, discover the remarkable breadth of America's short history through a fresh lens. On their own, stamps can be curiosities, even artistic marvels; in this book, stamps become a window into the larger sweep of history.
All the magic in the region has been nullified by the phoenix rebirth, and without magic, shapeshifters are as ordinary as the village folk. But to the east, outside the blast zone, lies Bad Rock Gulch where goblins mine for geo-rocks. This place has a cavern deep underground known as the Chamber of Ghosts where the shapeshifters might be able to replenish their magic -- to recharge. The chamber is said to be haunted, and it's here that Hal Franklin receives a warning that his life is in danger. What unfolds changes Hal's perspective on everything he knows, and he soon finds himself alone, trying his best to persuade Miss Simone and even his friends to see things his way. Set on a course of action that the others think is foolhardy and dangerous, he's plagued by doubt but resolves to see it through no matter what. With mountain trolls, a village of werewolves, underground ghosts, a boy from Miss Simone's past, and a trio of thundering helicopters carrying a cargo that will change the world, the sixth book in the series literally goes out with a bang.

“[The] book makes you care what happens to its main protagonist, the U.S. Postal Service itself. And, as such, it leaves you at the end in suspense.” —USA Today Founded by Benjamin Franklin, the United States Postal Service was the information network that bound far-flung Americans together, and yet, it is slowly vanishing. Critics say it is slow and archaic. Mail volume is down. The workforce is shrinking. Post offices are closing. In Neither Snow Nor Rain, journalist Devin Leonard tackles the fascinating, centuries-long history of the USPS, from the first letter carriers through Franklin’s days, when postmasters worked out of their homes and post roads cut new paths through the wilderness. Under Andrew Jackson, the post office was molded into a vast patronage machine, and by the 1870s, over seventy percent of federal employees were postal workers. As the country boomed, USPS aggressively developed new technology, from mobile post offices on railroads and airmail service to mechanical sorting machines and optical character readers. Neither Snow Nor Rain is a rich, multifaceted history, full of remarkable characters, from the stamp-collecting FDR, to the revolutionaries who challenged USPS’s monopoly on mail, to the renegade union members who brought the system—and the country—to a halt in the 1970s. “Delectably readable . . . Leonard’s account offers surprises on almost every other page . . . [and] delivers both the triumphs and travails with clarity, wit and heart.” —Chicago Tribune
