Book Description
A fascinating portrait of the Standard Oil heiress and legendary American trendsetter Millicent Rogers. “A page-turning tale of a society rebel.” —Meryl Gordon, author of Mrs. Astor Regrets Nobody knew how to live the high life like Standard Oil heiress Millicent Rogers. Born into luxury, she lived in a whirl of beautiful homes, European vacations, exquisite clothing, and handsome men. In Searching for Beauty, Cherie Burns chronicles Rogers’s glittering life from her days as a young girl afflicted with rheumatic fever to her moment as a glittering debutante, through her years as an American aristocrat abroad, and ending with her final days as one of the legendary chatelaines of Taos, New Mexico. A rebellious icon of the age, she eloped with a penniless baron; danced tangos in European nightclubs; divorced, remarried, and romanced, among other, the writer Roald Dahl, Secretary of Defense James Forrestal, and Hollywood icon Clark Gable. Her romantic conquests, though, paled in comparison to her triumph in the world of fashion where her unerring sense of style and her ability to mix the high with the low brought her to the attention of the fashionistas of the day. She became the muse to legendary American designer Charles James, appeared in Vogue and Harper’s Bazaar, and popularized Southwestern style by adopting turquoise jewelry, squaw skirts, and short-waist jackets as her signature look. With Searching for Beauty, Millicent Rogers enters the pantheon of great American women who, like Diana Vreeland and Babe Paley, put their distinctive stamp on American style. “A glittering tale of . . . one of the most glamorous women of the twentieth century. Anyone who is interested in the annals of high society will be fascinated with this book. . . . An intimate and deeply personal view of Millicent Rogers, her family and her unending search for love and beauty.” —Adam Lewis, author of The Great Lady Decorators, Billy Baldwin, Albert Hadley,and Van Day Truex
Molluscan Paleontology of the Chesapeake Miocene

Book Description
The Chesapeake Miocene will always be considered a paleontological treasure. Given the richness and accessibility of the Maryland and Virginia Miocene shell beds, it seems remarkable that very few people have ever described new species from these strata over the past 185 years. Until now. Integrating elements from paleontology, geology, environmental science, and ecology, Molluscan Paleontology of the Chesapeake Miocene assembles previous research and the authors’ experience into a synoptic field guide. The most complete compendium of Miocene species created since 1904, this long-awaited resource lists nearly 500 species. It contains illustrations of 260 species, including more than 60 not found in any previous book and 26 newly discovered. It describes Chesapeake molluscan faunas in terms of local geology, paleoceanography, and marine paleobiology. Organized by stratigraphic geology, the book covers fossils of the Eastover, St Mary’s, Choptank, and Calvert Formations. It illustrates 24 collecting sites and fossil exposures, showing details of in situ specimens, along with maps of 4 Miocene paleoseas and detailed stratigraphic columns for Maryland and northern Virginia. The text is accompanied by downloadable resources with color illustrations of the forty known species of ecphora shells. Armed with these, you should be able to identify the species found in the amazingly rich shell beds of the Chesapeake Bay area.
