For over forty years, historians, tourists, and especially King William neighbors have relied on the 1970s edition of The King William Area for reference, guidance and entertainment, this edition updates, corrects, and expands the original. Exquisite photographs of each house in the oldest designated residential historic district in Texas are supplemented with short histories and architectural descriptions. This narrative historical record is a coffee table conversation-starter and a field guide to the neighborhood. It tells the stories of the houses: their beginnings, who built them, and something of the people who lived there throughout the years. The combined perspective of the authors of this volume span almost 70 consecutive years of neighborhood history.

Now in its third edition, this is a bigger (more than 11,000 entries), updated version of the 1989 original covering the enormous kaleidoscope of changing political boundaries, names, and rulers of Africa. This exhaustive reference allows the user quickly to determine what happened in or to each country and when--changes of names, political systems, rulers, and so on. The term "state" is loosely defined to embrace, throughout the history of Africa, any area of land with recognized borders and evidence of a continuing governmental structure, almost always with a capital city. Entries give official name of country, dates during which it went by that name, location, capital, alternate names including cross-references to previous and later incarnations, and a list of rulers with dates of power when known. A new table details AIDS in the African states.
