Looking for popular history books whose title is or starts with a specific year -
1776,
1491,
69 A.D., etc. A subtitle after the year is fine, but the title needs to start with a specific date. Thanks!

I want to know how you get things done. I'm not looking for a self-help book; I want to know what you do, on a daily basis, to get things accomplished. Anything goes.

I'm looking for ways to change my behavior. It's important for various reasons that I start reinforcing some behaviors and stopping others. I'm a procrastinator for one, and tend to start projects and not finish them for another. Is there a research backed methodology for doing so?

My new grad school class (of about 140, if it matters) needs an easy way to post and share categorized notes, study guides, and sundry other files and documents with one another. What simple, easy-to-use open-source Web knowledgebase and/or document-management software might work well for this purpose?

How does a husband and a wife deal with nagging and the resultant arguments? My wife is a self-admitted nag. I am a self-admitted procrastinator. She likes to make decisions and do things now. I would rather sleep on it and let things develop a bit. I don't have a problem with leaving a dish or two in the sink. She needs the place to be near spotless. I am not a slob. She is not anal-retentive. When she wants me to hang curtains, she wants it done now. If I need something done, I will do it myself on a deadline I feel will not impact the situation. I don't think this problem is unique to our relationship. How have you and your wife better dealt with this proverbial problem? A good answer to this question is not 'just pick up your sh*t!'.

I am planning on taking Harvard Negotiation and Dispute Resolution course in the fall, meeting people in the industry and going from there. I would appreciate any suggestions on organizations, jobs in NY or any other info you might have.
Thank you!

So, I found this dead squirrel outside my house this morning. It looked as if it got electricuted overnight, and it's right on my front path. I called pest control, and they said they would remove it, but it was still there when I got home this afternoon. I'm guessing pet control doesn't operate over the weekend, so I'm wondering what I should do in the meantime? Is there someone special I can call? Should I just push it to the side grass with a stick (I don't want to do this... it's kind of seriously gross)? For what it's worth, I live in Ontario in a small-ish city, and I'm renting a flat in the house so I'm not the owner of the place. I'm at a bit of a loss as to what to do, and I work every day until wednesday so I can't do anything terribly special myself.
