Philadelphia Revelations guides you along the beaten and unbeaten paths around Philadelphia. Newcomers and natives alike will enjoy discovering the layers of history which in our daily lives we walk by without seeing. The twenty tours peel back the layers to highlight the most interesting strata at each point. Given the central role of the Delaware valley in the American Revolution, much of this book focuses on those events, so that anyone completing these tours will gain a much better understanding of the history of those times as it relates to the geography. Other stops gradually illustrate how Philadelphia got to where it is today, an ever-evolving city in constant interaction with the states that surround it. George Fisher is a retired physician and the author of the blog Philadelphia Reflections, with over 2,000 articles about Philadelphia from past to present. In this unique guide book, he brings to life the people and events behind the places you will see in his beloved city. He combines inquiry, insight and humor with over 70 years of observation to provide a singular perspective on the City of Brotherly Love.

No longer the preserve of the country elite, the growth of commercial shoots and the fact that even the grandest of estates now let out days means that shooting is available to all those who enjoy killing animals with guns. Whether you are an experienced shot who wants to try out a different terrain, a relative newcomer who is as interested in the local pubs and hotels as the shoot itself, or an office manager who wants a Christmas party with a difference, this book has all the information you need. Divided into separate sections for England, Scotland and Wales, the book includes over 170 shoots; covers all types of shooting - partridge, pheasant, grouse, woodcock/snipe, pigeon, wildfowling and stalking; includes a section on simulated shooting; includes a section on walked-up/rough shooting; and features essays by leading experts on the changing face of shooting.
