Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

From Narragansett Bay, Roger Williams, the American Industrial Revolution and the Independent Man to the New England mob, the Big Blue Bug, the Newport Mansions, Family Guy and profiles of Buddy Cianci, H.P. Lovecraft and the Farrelly brothers, no book provides a more insightful lowdown on the Ocean State than Rhode Island 101. No book is more fun!

Well known Rhode Islanders weigh in on the nations smallest state. Investigative reporter Jim Taricani recounts his top stories, Mark Patinkin provides signs that you've been in Rhode Island too long, meteorologist John Ghiorse revisits the most memorable weather events of the last 40 years, Lincoln Chafee offers a Rhode Island treasure hunt and Rory Raven illuminates haunted Rhode Island.

From fabulous beaches, historic cities, and dynamite cuisine to corrupt politicians, elite universities and a unique accent and slang, its all here.

Synopsis:

From fabulous beaches, historic cities, and dynamite cuisine to corrupt politicians, elite universities, and a one-of-a-kind accent, this multifaceted guidebook explores the nation's smallest state: Rhode Island. Well-known natives weigh in, including broadcast journalist Jim Taricani, author Mark Patinkin, folklorist Michael Bell, and satirist Charlie Hall. Profiles of Buddy Cianci, H. P. Lovecraft, and the Farrelly brothers enhance this informative resource, as do discussions of Narragansett Bay, the American Industrial Revolution, and the New England mob. Conjuring admiration for Rhode Island, this guide is both practical and informative.
