The story of the Sammarinese people in the United States is told here for the first time. The idea for the book was initiated by Livio Capicchioni. Joseph Putti guided the direction of the book from its start. The base of the book are the numerous interviews that were gathered over the years. The book concentrates on Metro Detroit, where the largest number of Sammarinese immigrants are to be found but also includes the story in neighboring Sandusky, Ohio. Metro New York is also featured along with a number of stories from across the country.

This is a biography of the President of Northern Michigan University, John X. Jamrich 1968-1983. This biography focuses on the challenges of his administration.

For the first time in over a century, a complete history of the U.P.-from prehistoric origins to the present-is available. Drawing on oral histories, newspapers, census data, archives and libraries, Russell M. Magnaghi has written the seminal history of a very ""special place"" as seen through the eyes of the men and women who have lived here-the famous and not so famous.

Author and award-winning historian Russell M. Magnaghi delves into the delectable food history of the Upper Peninsula.Michigan's Upper Peninsula is a veritable cornucopia of delicious dishes. Over the centuries, the shared food knowledge and passion Native Americans and immigrant of all kinds produced the region's iconic foods and beloved restaurants. Mackinac Island remains the epicenter for fine food. Here one can dine on freshly caught trout and whitefish at the Grand Hotel before tracking down the island's celebrated fudge for dessert. Afield of the island, visitors and residents alike can attend a Friday night fish fry virtually anywhere in the area, savor a juicy Big C burger at one of the many Clyde's Drive-In locations, or just have a refreshing glass of beer at Tahquamenon Brew Pub in aptly-named Paradise.

From native crab-apples to modern hobby orchards, Apple Culture in Upper Peninsula of Michigan and Wisconsin Border, covers the history of apple cultivation in Michigan's Upper Peninsula and northern Wisconsin border. This is the first study dealing with an aspect of agriculture in an area that is better known for mining and timber.

Over the centuries the Upper Peninsula has grown and developed due to many immigrants who arrived. Some of their stories are known but most have been lost to time. One of these stories belongs to Tsu-Ming Han, a Chinese immigrant, a geologist and senior research laboratory scientist at Cleveland-Cliffs Iron Company (now Cliffs Natural Resources). He came to the Upper Peninsula in the 1950s and was instrumental in the development of lower grade iron ore refinement processes and pelletization, which had a direct impact on the region and its people. In his spare time as a geologist, he identified an ancient fossil, Grypania Spiralis. Additionally important to the story is his family: Joy his wife and his children; Dennis, Timothy, and Lisa. This is another major effort of Northern Michigan University's Center for Upper Peninsula Studies to shed new light and ideas on the history of the U.P.
