Carolina State New nonfiction at’ Mauney Memorial Library: Beschloss, Michael R. and S. Talbott. "At the Highest Levels; The Inside Story of the End of the Cold War" (Little, Brown and Company, 1993). This is a story you did not read in the newspapers. It reveals a hith- erto secret dimension of the mo- mentous event of our tie, the end of the Cold War. With novelistic de- tail and intensity, the book shows Bush and Gorbachev behind closed doors as they struggle with domes- tic foes and suspicious allies. It demonstrates how the two leaders came to believe that the most dan- gerous opponents were no longer each other but forces within their own countries. "The Confederacy is on Her Way up the Spout: Letters to South Carolina 1861-1864" (University of Georgia Press, 1992). Written in a plainly eloquent southern vernacular, these letters focus on a single upcountry South Carolina farm family over the course of the war and reveal a per- ception of the Confederacy for which documentary evidence is scarce. "Egypt; Ancient Culture, Modern Land" (University of Oklahoma Press, 1993). This book offers the broadest coverage of Egypt ever presented. Here is a book that explores the impact of Egypt's culture and soci- ety on human history as well as the way of life of those who live today. here is a unified and complete un- derstanding of the importance of the country in the development of civilization and its place in the modem world. Fairbank, John King. "China; A New History" (Harvard University Press, 1992). Fairbank tells the full and final expression of his lifelong engage- ment with this vast, ancient civi- lization, in an authoratative ac- . count of China and its people over four millennia. "Foxfire 10." (Doubleday, 1993). This is an entirely new volume in the Foxfire series. While it em- ploys the popular Foxfire conven- tions of colorful ‘oral history and dozens of plates and how to illus- trations, Foxfire 10 covers a vari- ety of new topics and includes the voices of heretofore untapped Appalachian citizens, painting a vi- brant picture of the American South in transition from the turn of the century through the Depression years. Chock full of wit, wisdom and character that has been the Foxfire tradition, this is a wonder- ful window into our past and a cel- ebration of what is basic in life. TRAVEL Berger, Karen and Daniel R. Smith. "Where the Waters Divide; A Walk Along America's Continental Divide." (Harmony Books, 1993). This is a beautiful account of an extraordinary landscape. Part ad- venture story and part meditation, it is a tale of the people who inhab- it the land, of the pioneers and na- tive cultures that came before, of the natural forces that created the Divide and of the political and en- vironmental issues that are earnest- ly and sometimes hotly debated in the region. Fullerton, Laurie. "Vacations in the Maritimes" (Yankee Books, 1993). Discover the allure of Atlantic Canada as seasoned travel writer Fullerton guides you through the maritimes, Newfoundland and Labradore. Highlighted with fa- mous folk legends and nautical lore, this diverse and practical trav- el guide includes maps, leisure ac- tivities, attractions and dining and accommodation suggestions. 114 15. Gold Street, Kings Mountain. 734 4444 = Fqgual Housing Lender ROSE TURNER e KM Librarian Kappel-Smith, Diana. "Desert Time: A Journey Through the American Southwest" (Little, Brown and Company, 1992). This book records a journey of more than 25,000 miles through the desert of the American south- west. Running through the book in a leitmotif is the question of what deserts mean, what they signify in human terms. Morris, Glenn. "North Carolina ‘Beaches; A Guide to Coastal Access." (The University of North Carolina Press, 1993). Here is the comprehensive and easy to use access guide to the North Carolina coast that you've been waiting for.

Accurate, de- tailed maps and concise descrip- tions show you where to go on the coast, how to get there, and what facilities you will find at each loca- tion. Ross, Cindy and Todd Gladfelter. "A Hiker's Companion" (The Mountaineer, 1993). You can learn by doing or learn from others. In hiking, the latter can mean bliss instead of blisters This book gathers the best trail se- crets, techniques and tips into one easy reference for hikers and back- packers of all abilities. More than advice, the author conveys that the most important piece of traditional wisdom is the sheer delight of wilderness and self discovery. Sesser, Stan. "The Lands of Charm Thursday, January 13, 1994 -THE KINGS MOUNTAIN HERALD-Page 3A New nonfiction at Mauney Library and Cruelty; Travels in Southeast Asia" (Alfred A> Knopf, 1993). Southeast Asia is an infinitely fascinating part of the world, where people are beautiful and welcoming, where ancient cultural traditions still thrive today, where great religious relics and works of art dazzle the traveler. At the same time, Southeast Asia is haunted by tyranny and repression. Sessor shows us these lands of charm and cruelty and ubiquitous paradox as we have never seen them before. Thorndike, Joseph J.
