Bob Regan once again lets us into the vaults of Pittsburgh's storied past. His previous books-The Steps of Pittsburgh, The Bridges of Pittsburgh and The Names of Pittsburgh-have all received acclaim, attracting thousands interested in the City's storied past. Undoubtedly, Quintessentially Pittsburgh will do the same as he brings to life the historic inclines, trolleys and athletic stadiums as well as the City's rich theater history and place in the world of cinema. Bob Regan is a Research Professor at the University of Pittsburgh and a consultant specializing in Geographic Information Systems (GIS). His professional career includes senior level positions in the federal government, major corporations, and universities. His personal interests revolve around bicycling, and he manages, despite the Pittsburgh climate, to cover 2,000-3,000 miles a year doing so.
