This book, records the story of U.S.
highway development, beginning in the
early years of the new nation and
expanding with the growing country as it
moved into the undeveloped areas west
of the original colonies, ultimately
evolving into the federal-aid highway
program in which state and federal
governments have worked cooperatively
for the past 60 years. Illustrated with
hundreds of nostalgic photographs, this
publication brings this little-known area
of U.S. history to public attention and
creates a new sense of appreciation for
the extensive systems of roads and
highways on which we depend for the
goods and services that comprise
our contemporary lifestyle. 1976. 553

FIFTY BIRDS OF TOWN AND
CITY

This book pictures and describes 50
birds commonly seen in U.S. cities. It is
the non-birdwatcher's bird bible,
produced by the U.S. Bureau of Sport
Fisheries and Wildlife. It's not a
textbook, but an easy reading fun book
for every city dweller who has ever
wondered what that bird was that just
whizzed by. Its 54 pages sparkle with
interesting facts (catbirds mew like cats

when alarmed) and with full color
illustrations that enable you to easily
identify each bird when you see it.

In the past few years, recreational

you need to know if you're planning to
