An illustrated exploration of the design, meaning and symbolism of world football club crests.

Why is there a devil shown on the crest of Manchester United? Which club's crest motto is 'To Dare Is To Do'? And whose emblem depicts a bear and a strawberry tree?

From the seahorses of Newcastle United to the royal crown of Real Madrid, via the riveting hammers of West Ham United, Valencia's famous bat design and German club St Pauli's unofficial skull-and-crossbones emblem, there is a story behind every crest, a tale of identity.

Covering more than 200 clubs from 20 different leagues, World Football Club Crests explores the design, meaning and symbolism of the game's most famous club crests to reveal why the badges look as they do.

This carefully curated collection charts the continuing evolution of the designs and describes the changing styles, varied influences and remarkable controversies that have shaped football's most iconic crests. These important symbols of football heraldry will never be viewed in the same way again.

This volume will be of great interest to anyone with Poquoson, York County, Virginia ancestors, and to any library, society or archive that collects Virginia related material. This work greatly expands on the Holloway, Messick and Linton chapters of the Poquoson Watermen (pub. 1988). The Holloway family came to the Jamestown Colony in the 1620s, and eventually settled in what is now Poquoson, (then) York County, Virginia. The Messick and Linton families came before the War of 1812. Every census record from 1790 to 1910 known to pertain to these Poquoson families has been abstracted and cited. The current volume brings each family from its earliest mention in the colonial era down to the present. Many female lines have been followed for one or more generations. The text is well illustrated with early photographs and includes a bibliography and an index of every individual known to be related by birth or marriage to the families studied in this volume. Most of the family photographs in this volume have never before been published. This is Mr. Willett's seventh volume of family history, and his fourth volume on the Messick area of Poquoson, York County, Virginia. Mr. Willett is related to most of the Poquoson families through his maternal Martin and Hopkins ancestors; he is a family history researcher and recognized authority on the Willett surname and on his maternal families of Poquoson, York County, Virginia.

This work is a treasure trove of Link history and genealogy. The history section opens with a discussion of the early history of the Link family, followed by an examination of why the family patriarch John Jacob Link left Germany and migrated to America, and his arrival in America. This section includes individual chapters devoted to over a dozen significant Links, including "Ida and Her Sons-the Eisenhowers." The bulk of the text is devoted to a detailed Link genealogy, spanning eight generations. Facsimile reprints of original documents, portraits, maps, appendices, a bibliography, and a full-name index enrich this work.
