A massacre in Boston. A tea party. A shot heard around the world. But who was the first casualty of the massacre? How did the tea get to Boston Harbor? What was the Battle of Concord like for a Minute Man? Colonial Comics, Volume II: New England, 1750–1775 expands the frame of this infamous period of American history. Unconventional characters come to life including grave-digging medical students, counterfeiters, female playwrights, instigators of civil disobedience, newspaper editors, college students, rum traders, freemen, and slaves. This second volume of the Colonial Comics trilogy is an artful look of what life was like in the Pre-Revolutionary period and illustrates how the Revolutionary spirit spread to the common man and woman, one gorgeous comic story at a time.
Jason Rodriguez is an Eisnerand Harvey- nominated editor of comics and graphic novels.

Crisis has enveloped the 200,000 nationally and regionally protected natural and cultural heritage sites around the world, as well as many thousands more at local levels. Heritage managers – those who manage natural heritage sites such as national parks, wilderness areas, and biosphere reserves, as well as those who manage cultural heritage sites such as historic monuments, battlefields, old buildings, and ancient rock art sites – have an urgent responsibility to confront this crisis, and each day that they don’t, our planet irreplaceably loses more of our common heritage. The Future Has Other Plans provides an innovative and modern solution for preserving these valuable sites. Merging interdisciplinary and innovative management paradigms, the authors outline a new holistic planning that integrates the disciplines of

hit the road! The American West is the world’s finest fossil field. The mountains, badlands, canyons, deserts, and road cuts of this region expose layered sedimentary rocks from every geological period. Each image on the map is based on an actual fossil find, and, just to make sure you’re paying attention, there’s a cheeseburger in every state. The lists below give you our recommendations for the best fossil museums, digs, Web sites, and parks to visit when you take your own paleo–road trip. rules oF the road
978-1-55591-451-6
Finding fossils is fun, but it’s important that you follow the rules if you want to collect them. For private property, always get permission from the landowner before you start to look for fossils. For state land (this includes a lot of road cuts and parks), check with the state archaeologist (sadly, most states don’t have a state paleontologist) before you go, since rules vary from state to state. On Bureau of Land Management (BLM) land, you can collect reasonable amounts of plant and invertebrate fossils for personal, noncommercial use, but you can’t collect bones, teeth, or skeletons without a professional permit. Check in at local BLM offices for additional rules and recommendations. The U.S. Forest Service has similar regulations, so check with local ranger stations to get specific details. Collecting is forbidden in National Parks. Some museums and fossil clubs organize fossil digs (see the list below). This is a good way to learn the rules of the road and get your questions answered. But no matter where you are or who you’re with, if you find something really cool, contact a paleontologist.
best Digs and Dig Sites Eocene Fish: There are several fish quarries near Kemmerer, WY, that allow you to dig and keep what you find. Check the phone book for options.
