Martha�s Vineyard is cherished by many as a summer paradise; but few know of its rich past. Descendants of the first Native American inhabitants still reside on the Vineyard. Once a critical whaling hub; the island�s success drew in newcomers from around the world. Following the Civil War; land developers set their sights on attracting tourists to the island�s scenic beaches; and soon thereafter; a visit from President Grant established Martha�s Vineyard as a vacation haven. From a movement to secede from Massachusetts to the making of the summer blockbuster Jaws; author Thomas Dresser weaves together the threads of the Vineyard�s fascinating history. Discover how this remarkable island adapted to the times and came to be one of the most sought-out vacation destinations on the East Coast.

The best edition in the worldBy Gerardo MelaraThis is a great edition of Bachs inventions; at the begining I thought that I had wasted my money because you can find these sheets everywhere in the web but when I saw the quality of the printing I got totally surprised; the information at the begining of the book is incredible and the CD has excellent interpretations of the Bachs pieces; Buy it; you will be totally happy with it.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.
