current research on risk factors for heart disease, cancer,
Alzheimer’s, and other conditions so that readers can make meaningful

Chasing Oliver Hazard Perry
Craig Heimbuch
Chasing Oliver Hazard Perry chronicles Craig Heimbuch's journey through time and place in hopes of bringing to life a history that has haunted him since he was young — the story of Oliver Perry and the War of 1812. In the spirit of Tony Horwitz, Heimbuch travels to the battlefields, talks to historians, re-enactors, and fellow travelers to create a book that is funny, moving, and very informative.
Perry's story and legacy have stuck with Heimbuch through his entire life. He was just a boy when he first stood at the base of the Perry Monument at Put-in-Bay and listened to his father tell the story of how Perry scribbled on a scrap of paper a report to the American general laying siege to Fort Detroit his famous line, "We have met the enemy, and they are ours."

Cincinnati's Crosley Field: The Illustrated History of a Classic Ballpark
John Erardi and Joel Luckhaupt
Crosley Field and another Rhodes-Erardi production, Big Red Dynasty, were honored among the top baseball books in the country by Spitball literary magazine and the Society for American Baseball Research. They also co-authored First Boys of Summer and Opening Day. Rhodes' other books are Redleg Journal, Reds in Black and White, and Cincinnati Reds Hall of Fame Highlights. Erardi's other book, Pete Rose: 4,192, sole 50,000 copies.
Cincinnati's Crosley Field presents the field's history through
text and more than 150 photographs. The Cincinnati Reds played at
Crosley Field from 1912 through 1970, and the ballpark holds an iconic
place in the city's history as well as throughout Reds Country. One of
the most beloved ballparks in Major League history, Crosley Field
played host to the first night game and the first of Johnny Vander
Meer's back-to-back no-hitters, as well as four World Series and two
All-Star games.
From the outfield terrace to the "Moon Deck," from
Lombardi's "snooze" to Big Klu's biceps, Blackwell's "whip" to Rose's
belly-flop slides, the Redlegs to the Big Red Machine, Cincinnati's
Crosley Field has them covered in words and pictures. Greg Rhodes and
John Erardi also present the great Negro Leagues teams that played at
Crosley, as well as the field's many colorful characters, such as
longtime announcer Waite Hoyt and the top-hatted vendor known as Peanut
Jim. In April 2009, the Reds' Hall of Fame and Museum opens this
season's key exhibit, Crosley Field Remembered, and Cincinnati's Crosley Field will be sold at the team's gift shop as a souvenir.

Crosley: Two Brothers and a Business Empire That Transformed the Nation (hardback)
Set in the vibrant Industrial Age and filigreed with family drama and epic ambition, Crosley
chronicles one of the great untold tales of the twentieth century. Born
in the late 1800s into a humble world of dirt roads and telegraphs,
Powel and Lewis Crosley were opposites in many ways but shared drive,
talent, and an unerring knack for knowing what Americans wanted.
Their pioneering inventions — from the first mass-produced economy
car to the push-button radio — and breakthroughs in broadcasting and
advertising made them both wealthy and famous, as did their ownership
of the Cincinnati Reds. But as their fortunes grew, so did Powel’s
massive ego, which demanded he own eight mansions and seven yachts at
the height of the Great Depression. Rich with detailed reminiscences
from surviving family members, Crosley is both a powerful saga of a
heady time in American history and an intimate tale of two brilliant
brothers navigating triumph and tragedy.
