New Titles, Special Pricing and Reminder of an Upcoming Event

******************************************* 
Newly Available
(All prices in Canadian funds. Shipping/taxes extra)

Just released! The eighth edition, dated 2007-2008 ...
Marco Polo Polska Atlas Drogowy -- 1:200,000 Road Atlas of Poland
(POL012) Showing the freeway construction done over the past couple of years. By Marco Polo (formerly RV Verlag, and formerly Euro Atlas). This is the best Polish atlas. There are 236 pages of maps (1:200,000), a 75-page town-name index, eight regional maps (1:100,000) that show main arterials, 65 city maps (1:20,000) that show major streets, and four general maps (1:4,000,000) of Central Europe. This atlas has a wire spiral binding, so the pages turn easily. 8-1/2" by 11-1/2", in color. 395 pages. We have been forced to raise the price on this atlas because of rising costs all along the line. However, this atlas was out of stock for several months, and several people asked about it while it was not available. Because of that, we will honour the old price -- $45 Canadian -- on all orders received on or before Sept. 12. 

Just Published -- Polish-German map, Lodz and east Wartheland
PL0012 In the superb series of modern 1:200,000 scale maps that show town names in two languages -- German, and for this map, Polish. If you buy just one map in your research of this area, it should be a Hoefer map. These maps make it possible to do immediate cross-referencing between sources. The series covers all former German areas now in other countries.

Available Again - German-English Genealogical Dictionary
By Ernest Thode. This book is designed for the family researcher who has little or no knowledge of German but who nevertheless needs to make a translation of German-language documents. The dictionary covers thousands of German terms and defines them in single words or brief phrases. 

All words, symbols, and abbreviations in the dictionary were chosen on the basis of their association with genealogy, having been noted in church records, civil registration records, family correspondence, genealogical journals, ships' passenger lists, and emigration records. Among the many categories of entries included in the dictionary are family relationships, days of the week, map terms, legal terms, cardinal and ordinary numbers, roman numerals, signs of the zodiac, coins, liquid and dry measures, measures of length, place names, historical territories, geographical terms, occupations, titles, military ranks, types of taxes, illnesses, calendar days, male and female given names, heraldry, abbreviations, books of the Bible, and common genealogical words from Danish, Dutch, French, Latin, and Polish.

In conjunction with a standard German-English dictionary, the user of this work should be able to make a word-by-word translation of any German document and understand it. $40.00

Evidence Explained: Citing History Sources from Artifacts to Cyberspace
Elizabeth Shown Mills 

The definitive guide to the citation and analysis of historical sources.

It begins with a simple question:
Why do we invest so much of our energy into the citation of sources?

Followed immediately by the intriguing answer:
Because all sources are not created equal.

As a citation guide, Evidence Explained is built on this simple question and answer.
Evidence Explained has two principal uses: it provides citation models for most historical sources-especially original materials not covered by classic citation guides such as The Chicago Manual of Style. Beyond that it can help us understand each type of record and identify each in such detail that we and our readers will know not only where to go to find our source, but, equally important, the nature of that source so that the evidence can be better interpreted and the accuracy of our conclusions properly appraised.
    * Covers all contemporary and electronic sources not discussed in traditional style manuals, including digital, audio, and video sources
    * Explains citation principals and includes more than 1,000 citation models for virtually every source type
    * Shows readers where to go to find their sources and how to describe them and evaluate them
    * Teaches readers to separate facts from assertions and theory from proof in the evaluation of evidence

Most Importantly Evidence Explained discusses source citations for every known class of records, including microfilm and microfiche, and records created by the new digital media:
Websites; Digital books and journals; DVDs; CDs; Audio files; Podcasts; E-zines. $55.00
