The New London Fire Department was born in 1767 when Nathaniel Shaw Jr. presented the city with its first fire engine. Since then, New London has had a successful history of emergency medical service, heroic assistance during natural disasters, and fantastic 0firefighting. The city's most notorious fire occurred on September 6, 1781. Under the command of the infamous traitor and New London County native, Gen. Benedict Arnold, British troops set New London ablaze. A great deal of life and property was lost. At a 1786 town meeting, residents began the first regular fire company, which eventually evolved into eight volunteer companies. New London Firefighting proudly chronicles its initial humble volunteer system up to today's technologically advanced apparatus and career personnel.

New London Firefighting, Connecticut (Images of America Series)
This is a coffee table book, but anyone who likes India, is from India, has roots in India, or just likes kites should consider this book.
My Sanskrit guru encouraged me to buy this book, but I didn't want another picture book, so I procrastinated its purchase.
And then one day I was at his house and it was there on his coffee table. So I glanced through it. Wow! The first picture I saw was of a few men stnading with their horses on the desert, butas I looked at the long shadow of the sunrise, i realized that they were camels not horses. I turn to the next page, and it was an areal view of a camael market in Jaipur I think. But, tens of hundreds of camels peppered the desert, it was awe inspiring.
So it is not neceesarily a goodread, but a marvlous photography book.
