Where is the United Federation of Planets?
A two-sided mini-poster charting the 43 real objects mentioned in the entire collection of Star Trek
series and movies. On one side are the objects plotted on
galactic scales, indeed, using the list of objects is a good educational
assignment! On the obverse is a chart showing where all the objects
are in Earthly skies. Sprinkle your sky talks with Star Trek
interest by pointing out Spock's homeworld
and the stars nearest the borders of the Romulans, Klingons, and
Andorians! Which stars are also known to have exoplanets are listed as
well as their Star Trek lore. Based on an article from TCA Issue 18 (article included!) and excerpted
from Hermograph's forthcoming book, Federation Space!
$7.00, folded, with article.

Walking the Line
Rediscovering and Touring the Civil War Defenses on Modern Atlanta's Landscapes
What kept General Sherman out of Atlanta for six weeks when he had superior numbers of forces? An encircling line of 36 cannon forts and defensive lines between them. They never fell, they were abandoned when the Confederates realized they could not get supplies when all the rail lines were cut. The Union forces admired them, then left town on Sherman's March, and the forts were soon forgotten.
"Walking the Line" tells you where you can go by foot, bike and car to find the locations of the lines and forts, including those places where, if you know what to look for, you can still see their remains. Complete with maps, photos, and directions!
The Colonia Tour Book
Visit the ancient city of Colonia Claudia Ara
Agrippinensium, aka CCAA or Colonia, the ancient Roman provincial
capital city that became today's Cologne, Germany. This 5.x8
wire-bound guidebook leads you on six walking or streetcar/tram trails
to see Colonia's remains: streets, harbor island, forts and city
wall (still around in parts from more than 1500 years ago!), building
ruins above and below ground, what's left of its aqueduct that brought
water to the city (and was the longest Rome ever made), cemeteries and
graves, and guard towers. English language (German is coming!)
Nine Days Traveling
In 1825 the Marquis de Lafayette, during the course of a one-year tour of the United States, visited the new state of Alabama, his first time west of the Appalachian Mountains. For nine days he journeyed along the Federal Road, one of the first government-made roads connecting the far ends of the nation, through the Creek Nation still existing but actually doomed to cease, and down the Alabama River on one of the earliest steam boats. Where did he go? If he did the trip today, what would he see? What would be the same? What would be different? And how would you follow along with him on modern roads? "Nine Days Traveling" is your guidbook to the 37 places and the route Lafayette took through the state, with driving directions, modern maps, over 100 photographs, walking tour maps, and side trips, from the banks of the Chattachoochee River near Georgia's Fort Benning to Montgomery, then down to once French/English/Spanish Mobile city and Mobile Point on the Gulf of Mexico.
