Noel Thomas J.
Colorado; A Liquid History & Tavern Guide to the Highest State
Golden CO: Fulcrum Publishing 1999. First Printing Stated. Trade paperback. Very good. The format is approximately 7 inches by 9 inches. xviii 254 pages. Illustrated covers. Illustrations. Further Reading. Index. Autographed copy sticker on front cover. Signed by the author with sentiment Cheers on the title page. Slight sticker residue noted on front cover. Thomas Jacob Noel born 6 May 1945 in Boston Massachusetts often introduced in media interviews as Dr. Colorado is an American historian specializing in the history of the Rocky Mountain West and especially of the state of Colorado. Noel is a graduate of the University of Denver B.A. history and M.A. library science. He received an M.A. and Ph.D. in history from the University of Colorado Boulder. He is a professor of history at the University of Colorado at Denver where he teaches classes in the history of the American West Colorado Denver historic preservation mining and railroads national parks and Western art and architecture. He is the co-author or author of more than fifty books numerous articles and newspaper columns. He is the director of the Center for Colorado Studies at the Denver Public Library. Noel won a Colorado Book Award in 1997 among numerous other awards. Noel leads walking railroading and motor-coach tours for various groups including The Colorado Historical Society and The Smithsonian. He chaired the Denver Landmark Preservation Commission and served as a National Register reviewer for Colorado. Extracts from a 1999 review by Ed Quillen for the Colorado Central Magazine: This book isn’t exactly history and it’s not quite a guidebook although it contains strong elements of both. It’s more like a collection of the lore you would hear if you embarked upon a tour of the saloons taverns roadhouses lounges dives gin mills tap rooms and bars of Colorado and somehow remained sober enough to remember the tales some of them doubtless true or true enough. Tom Noel a professor of history at the University of Colorado at Denver took on this challenge for all of Colorado after cataloging all 500 or so saloons in Denver. There he discovered that any book is a snapshot — saloons frequently come and go so that the author always misses a few and other accounts are obituaries by the time they appear in print. His research method which I was privileged to observe involved grabbing a local informant if possible then a night of bar-hopping with Tom always scribbling notes on 3 x5 cards. These became the basis for the book. It is organized alphabetically by towns from Alamosa to Yampa and Noel’s research extends from the Victorian splendors with gorgeous backbars which were in operation long before Prohibition to modern operations. Some Colorado guides focus only on the small mountain towns but Noel gives Denver Colorado Springs and Pueblo their full due and does not stint on the High Plains. There’s hard-drinking Leadville where the Manhattan “is so rough that the regulars chew on their beer bottles†and “the beer signs are more than the decor; they also provide the lighting and help hold the roof up. The Manhattan also has the other essential ingredient for a saloon: shiftlessness.†One of my favorites the Owl Cigar Store in Cañon City still serves malts the old-fashioned way and its hamburgers make no concession to the health craze gets nearly a full page. I was curious about the tin ceilings in many handsome old saloons such as Salida’s Victoria Tavern. They look good but they’re hell on acoustics when there’s a band. That’s by design Noel explains — since there were hotel rooms upstairs in many such establishments and people wanted to sleep despite any revelry downstairs the tin ceilings were designed to reflect the sound downward. This is a fine book witty and humane about those Colorado places “where everybody knows your name.†Indeed Colorado began in such a place — the first effort at organizing the territory then split among Kansas Nebraska Utah and New Mexico began in Dick Wooten’s saloon in what is now Denver.

Eerdmans Dictionary of the Bible
Grand Rapids MI: William B. Eerdmans Publishing Company 2000. New Edition First Printing Stated. Hardcover. Very good/Very good. xxxiii 1 1425 21--including color maps pages. Two column format. Illustrations. This is a heavy volume and if shipped outside of the United States will require an additional shipping payment. Information printed inside front and back covers and on fep and rep. Contents includes a List of Maps; Consulting Editors Contributors Preface Introduction Abbreviations and Entries A-Z. Two terms in the title of this volume require some comment i.e. definition or explanation and elaboration: "Bible" and "Dictionary". "Bible" refers to the Christian Bible as commonly used in places where the great majority of the people have some affiliation with the christian Church and includes both the Old and Net Testaments. The OT for Protestands is the same as the Hevrew Scriptires acknoledges by the Jewish community as sacred Scripture. Catholic Christians also accept the Apocrypha or Deuterocaonicals as part of the OT. all of the above are treated in this Dictionary as well as the NT which is accepted as canonical scripture by practically all Christian groups. As for the second term Bible dictionaries generally come in two sizes: multivolume versions and one-volume dictionaries like the familiar Eerdmans Bible Dictionary of which the present volume represents not merely a new edition but in essence a fresh beginning. The one-volume Bible dictionary is interned to be a rapid-response reference work. It should supply sufficient factual information about books and persons places and events define words and longer expressions and thereby fulfill the basic purpose of any dictionary: to explain. The Eerdmans Dictionary of the Bible gathers nearly 5000 alphabetically ordered articles that thoroughly yet clearly explain all the books persons places and significant terms found in the Bible. The Dictionary also explores the background of each biblical book and related writings and discusses cultural natural geographical and literary phenomena--matters that Bible students at all levels may encounter in reading or discussion. Nearly 600 first-rate Bible authorities have contributed to the Eerdmans Dictionary of the Bible. Intended as a tool for practical Bible use this illustrated dictionary reflects recent archaeological discoveries and the breadth of current biblical scholarship including insights from critical analysis of literary historical sociological and other methodological issues. The editorial team has also incorporated articles that explore and interpret important focuses of biblical theology text and transmission Near Eastern archaeology extrabiblical writings and pertinent ecclesiastical traditions--all of which help make the Eerdmans Dictionary of the Bible the most comprehensive and up-to-date one-volume Bible dictionary on the market today.

Busch, Noel F.
T.R.; The Story of Theodore Roosevelt and His Influence on Our Times
New York: Reynal & Company 1963. Presumed First Edition First printing. Hardcover. Good/Fair. 6 346 pages. Name in ink inside front cover. Bookseller stamp inside front cover. Discoloration on fep. DJ worn and torn. Illustrations. T.R.--A Chronology. Selected Bibliography. Index. Noel Fairchild Busch was an author and Life magazine correspondent who reported extensively on World War II and its aftermath. During the war he reported for Life from such countries as Argentina South Africa Egypt Saudi Arabia Britain Yugoslavia and Japan. A report on the United States occupation of Japan under Gen. Douglas MacArthur for Life's issue of Dec. 2 1946 led to one of his many books -''Fallen Sun'' published in 1948. His other books about Japan were ''Two Minutes to Noon'' an account of the 1923 Tokyo-Yokohama earthquake and fire and ''A Concise History of Japan.'' Mr. Busch began his association with the Time-Life publications in 1927 when he left Princeton University in his junior year to join Time magazine as an associate editor at the invitation of his cousin Briton Hadden who with Henry R. Luce had founded Time in 1923. Mr. Busch left Life in 1952 to become the representative of the Asia Foundation in Tokyo and Bangkok Thailand and was special assistant to the foundation's president in 1958 and 1959. He became a staff writer for Reader's Digest in 1959 and retired in 1976. Among his books were ''My Unconsidered Judgment'' his reminiscences about his roaming Life assignments; ''What Manner of Man'' a biography of Franklin D. Roosevelt; ''Briton Hadden: His Life and Time'' a biography and ''T.R. The Story of Theodore Roosevelt and His influence on Our Times.'' Derived from a Kirkus review: The Story of Theodore Roosevelt and His Influence in Our Times "is one more of those tantalizing historical conjectures upon which it may be permissible to speculate". Busch contributes a further explanation of and eulogy to Theodore Roosevelt. It does not tell everything in the Great Man's life; it assembles the facts of a notable career so that readers can form one's own opinion. The main point in Mr. Busch's biography is that T.R. had a strenuously clear intelligence and grasp of particulars right to the end. From what is presented here T.R. certainly did. He emerges as one of the most superior men who ever lived. Reynal & Company hardcover

Maurer earned his Ph.D. from Stanford University in 1997. Between 1998 and 2004 he worked as an assistant professor in the Department of Economics at ITAM a university in Mexico City. Maurer also worked at an NGO dedicated to helping small rural communities in Chiapas find new business opportunities. After a brief unexpected stint as a full-time employee of the federal government in 2002-03 he began work as an assistant professor at the Harvard Business School in 2005. In 2015 he took the opportunity to join the faculty at George Washington University. Maurer's primary research interest is how private actors defend their property rights under dictatorial governments or political instability. The Big Ditch: How America Took Built Ran and Ultimately Gave Away the Panama Canal chronicles the economic and political history of the Canal from Spain's 1529 proposals through the present day. The book shows that the Canal produced great economic dividends until 1945 despite massive cost overruns and delays. Relying on geographical advantage and military might the United States captured most of these benefits. By the 1970s however when the Carter administration negotiated the turnover of the Canal back to Panama the strategic and economic value of the Canal had disappeared. And yet contrary to skeptics who believed it was impossible for a nation plagued by corruption to manage the Canal the Panamanians ultimately succeeded at running it better than their northern patrons.
