Description:
The Victorian Internet tells the colorful story of the telegraph's creation and remarkable impact, and of the visionaries, oddballs, and eccentrics who pioneered it, from the eighteenth-century French scientist Jean-Antoine Nollet to Samuel F. B. Morse and Thomas Edison. The electric telegraph nullified distance and shrank the world quicker and further than ever before or since, and its story mirrors and predicts that of the Internet in numerous ways.

Description:
From the d.j. flap: "The Bible of Ballparks--the ultimate, completely revised and updated guide to every stadium that has ever played host to major league or negro league baseball.""Green Cathedrals is a celebration of the sport of baseball through the lens of its ballparks--the "fields of dreams" of players and fans alike. In all, more than 400 stadiums, parks, fields, yards, and grounds have, since the 1870's, hosted a Major League or Negro League game--and each one of them is given its due, from hard statistics (dates and dimensions, smallest and largest crowds, ands much more) to colorful anecdotes that will inspire the memories of fans everywhere. Some 150 photographs."
