Art and ArchitectureReveal Your DetroitAn Intimate Look at a Great AmericanCityA Community Engagement Project Led by theDetroit Institute of ArtsBradford FrostThrough a unique partnership model with forty-five communityorganizations, the Detroit Institute of Arts’ 2012 communityphotography exhibit “Reveal Your Detroit” offered Detroit residents the chance to respond to the Museum’scontemporary photography exhibition Detroit Revealed: Photographs 2000-2010. Using disposablecameras, each participant captured people, places, and things that make their lives in Detroit distinctive,inspired by the questions “what does your Detroit look like?” and “how do you want others to see it?” Inthe final display, over 1,700 images rotated across 60 digital photo frames, from a selection of over 10,000submitted. For this volume, author Bradford Frost has selected 200 images from the exhibit to showcasethe perspectives of hundreds of residents and the places they presented, from the gritty to the sublime.Reveal Your Detroit is composed of two main sections—The Authentic City and Detroit’s VitalTransformation—photo essays that evoke Detroit’s spirited resolve and respond to the dominant imageryof the city in decline. Photographers visit favorite Detroit sites like Eastern Market, the Detroit Riverfront,the Charles H. Wright Museum of African American History, Comerica Park, Michigan Central Station, andthe Fox Theater; but they also highlight lesser known spots, like the cobblestone streets of West Canfield inMidtown, Hostel Detroit in Corktown, and the Central Business District Community Garden Downtown.Photos highlight Detroit’s vibrant street and folk art, the diversity of the city’s natural environment, andthe vitality of residents and businesses in a range of city neighborhoods. Reveal Your Detroit is not only abeautiful gift book and record of a transforming American city, it is also a testament to the possibilitiesof creative partnership between grassroots organizations and larger cultural institutions.September 2013 / 10 x 8.5 / 184 pp / 200 illus / ISBN 978-0-8143-3963-3, $24.95t paperISBN 978-0-8143-3964-0 eA Painted Turtle bookThe Buildings of DetroitA HistoryW. Hawkins FerryWith a new foreword by John GallagherFirst published in 1968, The Buildings of Detroit: A History by W. HawkinsFerry is the definitive resource on the architecture of Detroit and itsadjacent communities, from pioneering times to the end of the twentiethcentury. Ferry based his impressive volume on thirteen years of meticulousresearch, interviews with many prominent architects, and hundreds ofphotos commissioned specifically for the book. Ferry revised The Buildingsof Detroit in 1980, adding the Renaissance Center and other modernworks, and this re-released version presents the revised edition addingonly a new foreword by John Gallagher.The Buildings of Detroit spans from the early 1700s, when the city was a fur-trading post in the wilderness,to its more contemporary position as the capital of the automotive industry and a major industrialcity. Along the way, Ferry offers glimpses of the log cabins of early explorers and soldiers, the Victorianmansions of lumber barons, and the Grosse Pointe and Bloomfield Hills residences of motor magnates.He traces the development of new building techniques that gave rise to the American skyscraper and themodern factory. Ferry details all of downtown’s landmark buildings, including many that are no longerstanding, and visits fascinating neighborhood structures like movie theaters, hotels, shopping centers,and apartment buildings. In each chapter, readers will meet the visionary architects and clients whoseforesight and initiative helped shape the fabric of one of America’s great cities. The Buildings of Detroitalso includes a selected chronology, maps, references, notes, an extensive index, and 475 illustrations.Previously out of print and difficult to find, this re-released classic will be treasured by Detroit historybuffs and architectural historians.2012 / 8.5 x 11.25 / 512 pp / 475 illus / ISBN 978-0-8143-1665-8, $99.00s cloth(800) 978-7323 wsupress.wayne.edu 3

Art and Architecture2013 Michigan Notable Book!As selected by the Library of MichiganDetroit’s Historic Places ofWorshipCompiled and edited by Marla O. Collum,Barbara E. Krueger, and Dorothy KostuchPhotographs by Dirk BakkerWith a Foreword by John Gallagher“Every house of worship profiled has something to delight both thearmchair historian and the aesthete.“—Matthew Alderman, The Living ChurchNearly twenty years in the making, this volume includes many of Detroit’s most well known churches, likeSainte Anne in Corktown, the Cathedral of the Most Blessed Sacrament in Boston-Edison, Saint Florian inHamtramck, Mariners’ Church on the riverfront, Saint Mary’s in Greektown, and Central United MethodistChurch downtown. But the authors also provide glimpses into stunning buildings that are less easilyaccessible or whose uses have changed—such as the original Temple Beth-El (now the Bonstelle Theater),First Presbyterian Church (now Ecumenical Theological Seminary), and Saint Albertus (now maintainedby the Polish American Historical Site Association)—or whose future is uncertain, like Woodward AvenuePresbyterian Church (most recently Abyssinian Interdenominational Center, now closed). Authors MarlaO. Collum, Barbara E. Krueger, and Dorothy Kostuch draw on public resources, church archives, and oralhistories provided by clergy, parishioners, and church staff. Appendices contain information on hundredsof architects, artisans, and craftspeople involved in the construction of the churches, and a map pinpointstheir locations around the city of Detroit.In all, the authors profile 37 architecturally and historically significant houses of worship that represent 8denominations and nearly 150 years of history. Full-color photos by Dirk Bakker bring the interiors andexteriors of these amazing buildings to life, as the authors provide thorough architectural descriptions,pointing out notable carvings, sculptures, stained glass, and other decorative and structural features.2012 / 8.5 x 11 / 272 pp / 188 illus / 978-0-8143-3811-7, $39.95t clothISBN 978-0-8143-3629-8 eA Painted Turtle bookMichigan’s HistoricRailroad StationsMichael H. Hodges2013 Michigan Notable Book!As selected by the Library of MichiganWhen the railroad revolutionized passenger travel in thenineteenth century, architects were forced to create fromscratch a building to accommodate the train’s suddencentrality in social and civic life. The resulting depots,particularly those built in the glory days from 1890 to 1925, epitomize the era’s optimism and serve asphysical anchors to both the past and the surrounding urban fabric. In Michigan’s Historic Railroad Stationswriter and photographer Michael H. Hodges presents depots ranging from functioning Amtrak stops(Jackson) to converted office buildings (Battle Creek) and spectacular abandoned wrecks (Saginaw andDetroit) to highlight the beauty of these iconic structures and remind readers of the key role architectureand historic preservation play in establishing an area’s sense of place.Along with his striking contemporary photographs of the stations, Hodges includes historic pictures andpostcards, as well as images of “look-alike” depots elsewhere in the state. For each building Hodgesprovides a short history, a discussion of its architectural style, and an assessment of how the depot fitswith the rest of its town or city. Hodges also comments on the condition of the depot and its use today.An introduction summarizes the functional and stylistic evolution of the train station in the nineteenth andtwentieth centuries and surveys the most important academic works on the subject, while an epilogueconsiders the role of the railroad depot in creating the American historic-preservation movement.2012 / 11 x 8.5 / 200 pp / 148 illus / ISBN 978-0-8143-34836, $39.95t clothISBN 978-0-8143-3812-4 eA Painted Turtle book4Wayne State University Press regional Books

Upper Peninsula HistoryLake Superior ProfilesPeople on the Big LakeJohn Gagnon“When I was a lad, there used to be a sign in the Keweenaw Peninsula:‘You are now breathing the purest, most vitalizing air on earth.’ It’s said thecollege fellows used to nail skunks to the sign. I don’t know if that’s true,but it’s a good yarn. The lake makes for many. As Longfellow wrote in Songof Hiawatha, ‘You shall hear a tale of wonder.’”—John Gagnon, from the prologueLike Lake Superior itself, the communities of people surrounding the “BigLake” are vast and full of variety, spanning state and international boundaries.In Lake Superior Profiles: People on the Big Lake, author John Gagnon givesreaders a sense of the memorable characters who inhabit the area without attempting to take an exhaustiveinventory. Instead, Gagnon met people casually and interviewed them—from a tugboat captain to aniron ore boat captain, Native Americans, and fishery biologists. Different though their stories are, all sharea steadfast character, an attachment to the moody lake, and a devotion to their work.Lake Superior Profiles combines biography, history, folklore, religion, and humor in fifteen diverse chapters.In Michigan, Minnesota, Wisconsin, and Ontario, Gagnon visits the rivers, bays, small towns, larger cities,and nature preserves that surround Lake Superior to meet the people who make their homes there.Among those he meets are several fisherman, a botanist studying arctic wildflowers on Isle Royale, aformer lighthouse keeper on a remote reef on the lake, a voyageur reenactor from Duluth, a woman whoharvests wild rice each August in the Bad River Sloughs, and a monk living on the Keweenaw Peninsula.He also writes about three of the lake’s major fish species, a rock formation steeped in lore called theSleeping Giant, and the current fragile ecology of the Big Lake.Engaging in style and varied in content, these profiles display Gagnon’s natural curiosity and storytellingacumen in illustrating the many ways the lake shapes the lives of those near it.

Great Lakes And Maritime HistoryEight SteamboatsSailing through the SixtiesPatrick LivingstonForeword by Neal Shine2005 Michigan Notable Book!As selected by the Library of Michigan“Patrick Livingston’s Eight Steamboats is a voyage of self-discovery and acoming-of-age. The fights, the nights on the town, the union halls, and thehard labor expected of Great Lakes sailors is meticulously and sometimeshilariously recounted.”—Timothy J. Runyan, director of the Maritime Studies Program at EastCarolina UniversityEight Steamboats chronicles Patrick Livingston’s adventures on eight shipping vessels—only one of whichsurvives—during the 1960s. Told from the perspective of a writer who sails rather than a sailor whowrites, the tales are spiced with connections between shore and sea. While the city of Detroit burnedin 1967, Livingston served milkshakes to passengers on the South American of the Georgian Bay Lines.Later, Livingston sailed with the notorious George “Bughouse” Schultz on the ill-starred tanker Mercury.When financial need forced him to forgo a trip to the Democratic National Convention in Chicago, hesailed Lake Michigan instead. In subsequent years, he dropped out of school to catch the mailboat tohis ships as they transited the Detroit River. With lively dialogue, Livingston details his experiences up tohis signing off the Champlain in 1972 and then setting sail for landlocked Nepal to work with the PeaceCorps. Both maritime and Great Lakes enthusiasts will enjoy this voyage back to the early years of theGreat Lakes shipping industry.2004 / 6 x 9 / 328 pp / 51 illus / ISBN 978-0-8143-3175-0, $31.95s paperGreat Lakes Books SeriesIron FleetThe Great Lakes inWorld War IIGeorge J.

Military History“Old Slow Town”Detroit during the Civil WarPaul TaylorThough it was located far away from Southern battlefields, Detroit churnedwith unrest during the American Civil War. The city’s population, including alarge German and Irish immigrant community, mostly aligned with anti-warDemocrats while the rest of the state stood with the pro-Lincoln Republicans.The virulently anti-Lincoln and anti-Black Detroit Free Press fanned the city’sflames with provocative coverage of events. In “Old Slow Town”: Detroitduring the Civil War, award-winning author Paul Taylor contends thatthe anger within Detroit’s diverse political and ethnic communities overquestions about the war’s purpose and its conduct nearly tore the city in two.Taylor charts Civil War–era Detroit’s evolution from a quiet but growing industrial city (derisively called “oldslow town” by some visitors) to a center of political contention and controversy. In eight chapters, Taylordetails topics including the pre-war ethnic and commercial development of the city, fear and suspicionof “secret societies,” issues of race, gender, and economic strife during the war, Detroit’s response to itssoldiers’ needs, and celebration and remembrance at the conclusion of the conflict. Through Taylor’s useof overlooked military correspondence from the National Archives, soldier and civilian diaries and letters,period articles and editorials from Detroit’s Civil War–era newspapers; and a fresh, judicious synthesisof secondary sources, Paul Taylor presents the captivating story of Detroit’s Civil War history. Until now,why events occurred as they did in Detroit during the Civil War and what life was like for its residentshas only been touched upon in any number of general histories. Readers interested in American history,Civil War history, or the ethnic history of Detroit will appreciate the full picture of the time period Taylorpresents in “Old Slow Town.”October 2013 / 6 x 9 / 256 pp / 30 illus / ISBN 978-0-8143-3603-8, $34.95s clothISBN 978-0-8143-3930-5 eGreat Lakes Books SeriesAmong the EnemyA Michigan Soldier’s Civil War JournalEdited by Mark HoffmanThough many Union soldiers wrote about their experiences in the AmericanCivil War, few had the vantage point of William Horton Kimball, a member ofthe First Michigan Engineers and Mechanics. As a military engineer, Kimballspent most of his time behind the major lines of conflict and often workedamong civilians who sympathized with the enemy. In Among the Enemy: AMichigan Soldier’s Civil War Journal, Civil War historian Mark Hoffman presentsKimball’s journal as a unique window into wartime experience.Kimball was a prolific writer, and his journal is full of detailed accounts ofexpeditions into a hostile countryside, the bitter war against guerillas, andthe civilians caught in the middle of a traditional war waged with nontraditional means. He commentsfreely and openly on the strengths and weaknesses of his officers and comrades caught up in the samewar. At the same time, Kimball provides moving accounts of when the Engineers were thrown into theline of battle at Perryville and Lavergne and proved themselves as soldiers capable of traditional combat.Through Kimball’s account, readers can chart the important evolution of Union war policy regardingoccupied populations, as well as how the American views of warfare broke down when combat movedfrom battlefield to countryside and soldiers in the rear became important targets for enemy action.Hoffman introduces Kimball’s writings and provides some background on Kimball’s life as a soldier. Heaccompanies the journal entries with illustrations and maps.Kimball’s account reminds readers that there was a time when Americans who honored the same foundersand national holidays were seeking to kill each other in a bitter war behind the lines of traditional armies.Readers interested in military history and the Civil War will enjoy the inside perspective of Among the Enemy.March 2013 / 6 x 9 / 168 pp / 14 illus / ISBN 978-0-8143-3471-3, $24.95s paperISBN 978-0-8143-3853-7 eGreat Lakes Books Series18Wayne State University Press regional Books

Military HistoryThe Fall and Recapture of Detroit inthe War of 1812In Defense of William HullAnthony J. YanikThe focus of the opening campaign of the War of 1812 was Detroit, whichthe War Department considered to be one of the significant launching pointsfor the invasion of Canada. Detroit’s surrender only two months after thedeclaration of war shocked the nation and led to the court-martial of BrigadierGeneral William Hull. Hull was sentenced to death—the only commandinggeneral ever to receive such a sentence in U.S. military history—and hasbeen vilified by many historians up to the present day for his decision tosurrender. In The Fall and Recapture of Detroit: In Defense of William Hull,author Anthony J. Yanik reconsiders Hull’s abrupt surrender and the general’s defense that the decisionwas based on sound humanitarian grounds.Yanik begins by tracing the political roots of the War of 1812 and giving readers an idea of what life waslike in the tiny frontier settlement of Detroit in the years leading up to the war. He moves on to Hull’sappointment as brigadier general and the assembly of the North Western Army in the summer of 1812,culminating in their arduous journey to Detroit and botched invasion of Canada. Yanik then details Hull’ssurrender and its repercussions for Detroit, including life under British rule and the eventual recapture ofDetroit by American forces. Yanik also probes the general’s court-martial for cowardice in 1814, arguingthat a close examination of the testimony of the witnesses, an analysis of Hull’s defense, and a review ofthe actual events themselves raise many questions about the credibility of the verdict that was issued.Including a chronology of Hull’s Detroit campaign and appendixes with historical writings and speeches fromthe officials involved in the war effort, The Fall and Recapture of Detroit in the War of 1812 will be enjoyablereading for military and local historians, just in time for the bicentennial anniversary of the War of 1812.2011 / 6 x 9 / 232 pp / 15 illus / ISBN 978-0-8143-3598-7, $24.95s clothISBN 978-0-8143-3595-6 eGreat Lakes Books Series2008 Michigan Notable Book!As selected by the Library of Michigan2007 State History Award from theHistorical Society of Michigan“My BraveMechanics”The First Michigan Engineersand Their Civil WarMark HoffmanWith a Foreword byWilliam M.

Detroit HistoryRevolution DetroitStrategies for Urban ReinventionJohn GallagherAfter decades of suburban sprawl, job loss, and lack of regional government,Detroit has become a symbol of post-industrial distress and also one ofthe most complex urban environments in the world. In Revolution Detroit:Strategies for Urban Reinvention, John Gallagher argues that Detroit’sexperience can offer valuable lessons to other cities that are, or will soonbe, dealing with the same broken municipal model. A follow-up to hisaward-winning 2010 work, Reimagining Detroit, this volume looks at Detroit’ssuccesses and failures in confronting its considerable challenges. It also looksat other ideas for reinvention drawn from the recent history of other cities,including Cleveland, Flint, Richmond, Philadelphia, and Youngstown, aswell as overseas cities, including Manchester and Leipzig.Revolution Detroit surveys four key areas: governance, education and crime, economic models, and therepurposing of vacant urban land. Among the topics Gallagher covers are effective new urban governancemodels developed in Cleveland and Detroit; new education models highlighting low-income-but-highachievementschools and districts; creative new entrepreneurial business models emerging in Detroit andother post-industrial cities; and examples of successful repurposing of vacant urban land through urbanagriculture, restoration of natural landscapes, and the use of art in public places. He concludes with acautious yet hopeful message that Detroit may prove to be the world’s most important venue for successfulurban experimentation and that the reinvention portrayed in the book can be repeated in many cities.Readers interested in urban studies and recent Detroit history will appreciate this thoughtful assessmentof the best practices and obvious errors when it comes to reinventing our cities.2013 / 6 x 9 / 208 pp / 44 illus / ISBN 978-0-8143-3871-1, $24.95t paperISBN 978-0-8143-3857-5 eA Painted Turtle bookReimagining DetroitOpportunities for Redefining an American CityJohn Gallagher2011 Michigan Notable Book!As selected by the Library of Michigan2011 Eric Hoffer Book AwardsFinalist in the category of Culture2010 ForeWord Magazine Book of the Year!Finalist in the category of Social Science“Written with footnotes for the academic reader and the author’s ownphotography, Gallagher places Detroit in the context of other cities that arereinventing themselves; while shrinking, but growing through qualitativedevelopment.” —Model D MediaExperts estimate that perhaps forty square miles of Detroit are vacant—from a quarter to a third of thecity —a level of emptiness that creates a landscape unlike any other big city. Author John Gallagher, whohas covered urban redevelopment for the Detroit Free Press for two decades, spent a year researching whatis going on in Detroit precisely because of its open space and the dire economic times we face. Insteadof presenting another account of the city’s decline, Reimagining Detroit: Opportunities for Redefining anAmerican City showcases the innovative community-building work happening in the city and focuses onwhat else can be done to make Detroit leaner, greener, and more economically self-sufficient. Some ofthe topics Gallagher discusses are urban agriculture, restoring vacant lots, reconfiguring Detroit’s overbuiltroad network, and reestablishing some of the city’s original natural landscape. He also investigates newmodels for governing the city and fostering a more entrepreneurial economy to ensure a more stablepolitical and economic future. Along the way, Gallagher introduces readers to innovative projects thatare already under way in the city and proposes other models for possible solutions—from as far away asDresden, Germany, and Seoul, South Korea, and as close to home as Philadelphia and Youngstown—tocomplement current efforts.2010 / 6 x 9 / 176 pp / 33 illus / ISBN 978-0-8143-3469-0, $19.95t paperISBN 978-0-814-33605-2 eA Painted Turtle book(800) 978-7323 wsupress.wayne.edu 21

Detroit HistoryRedevelopment and RacePlanning a Finer City in Postwar DetroitJune Manning ThomasIn the decades following World War II, professional city planners in Detroitmade a concerted effort to halt the city’s physical and economic decline.Their successes included an award-winning master plan, a number oflaudable redevelopment projects, and exemplary planning leadership in thecity and the nation. Yet despite their efforts, Detroit was rapidly transforminginto a notorious symbol of urban decay. In Redevelopment and Race: Planninga Finer City in Postwar Detroit, June Manning Thomas takes a look at whatwent wrong, demonstrating how and why government programs wereineffective and even destructive to community needs.In confronting issues like housing shortages, blight in older areas, and changing economic conditions,Detroit’s city planners worked during the urban renewal era without much consideration for low-incomeand African American residents, and their efforts to stabilize racially mixed neighborhoods faltered as well.Steady declines in industrial prowess and the constant decentralization of white residents counteractedplanners’ efforts to rebuild the city. Among the issues Thomas discusses in this volume are the harmfulimpacts of Detroit’s highways, the mixed record of urban renewal projects like Lafayette Park, the effectsof the 1967 riots on Detroit’s ability to plan, the city-building strategies of Coleman Young (the city’s firstblack mayor) and his mayoral successors, and the evolution of Detroit’s federally designated EmpowermentZone. Examining the city she knew first as an undergraduate student at Michigan State University andlater as a scholar and planner, Thomas ultimately argues for a different approach to traditional planningthat places social justice, equity, and community ahead of purely physical and economic objectives.Redevelopment and Race was originally published in 1997 and was given the Paul Davidoff Award fromthe Association of Collegiate Schools of Planning in 1999.2013 / 7x10 / 296 pp / 78 illus / ISBN 978-0-8143-3907-7, $29.95s paperISBN 978-0-8143-3908-4Great Lakes Books SeriesDreaming SuburbiaDetroit and the Production ofPostwar Space and CultureAmy Maria KenyonCovering the political and culturaleconomy of suburban sprawl, theinterdependence of city and suburb,and local acts of violence and crisesduring the 1967 riots, DreamingSuburbia examines the making of aphysical place, its cultural effects, andsocial exclusions.2004 / 6 x 9 / 224 ppISBN 978-0-8143-3228-3$26.95s paperISBN 978-0-8143-3913-8 eAfrican American Life SeriesChurches and UrbanGovernment inDetroit and NewYork, 1895–1994Henry J.

Detroit PeopleThe Political Activities of DetroitClubwomen in the 1920sA Challenge and a PromiseJayne Morris-CrowtherIn the early 1900s, Detroit’s clubwomen successfully lobbied for issues likecreating playgrounds for children, building public baths, raising the age forchild workers, and reforming the school board and city charter. But whenthey won the vote in 1918, Detroit’s clubwomen, both black and white, wereeager to incite even greater change. In the 1920s, they fought to influencepublic policy at the municipal and state level, while contending with partisanpolitics, city politics, and the media, which often portrayed them as sillyand incompetent. In this fascinating volume, author Jayne Morris-Crowtherexamines the unique civic engagement of these women who considered their commitment to the cityof Detroit both a challenge and a promise.By the 1920s, there were eight African American clubs in the city (Willing Workers, Detroit Study Club,Lydian Association, In As Much Circle of Kings Daughters, Labor of Love Circle of Kings Daughters, WestSide Art and Literary Club, Altar Society of the Second Baptist Church, and the Earnest Workers of theSecond Baptist Church); in 1921, they joined together under the Detroit Association of Colored Women’sClubs. Nearly 15,000 mostly white clubwomen were represented by the Detroit Federation of Women’sClubs, which was formed in 1895 by the unification of the Detroit Review Club, Twentieth CenturyClub, Detroit Woman’s Club, Woman’s Historical Club, Clio Club, Wednesday History Club, Hypathia,and Zatema Club. Morris-Crowther begins by investigating the roots of the clubs in pre-suffrage Detroitand charts their growing power. She goes on to consider the women’s work in three areas—PoliciesThat Affect Women and Children, Protecting the Home against Enemies, and Home as Part of the UrbanEnvironment—and considers the numerous challenges they faced in The Limits of Enfranchised Citizens.An appendix contains the 1926 Directory of the Detroit Federation of Women’s Clubs.2012 Independent Publisher’s Book award!Gold Medal in Great Lakes - Best Regional Nonfiction2012 da vinci Eye award Finalist!2012 Eric Hoffer Book AwardsHonorable Mention in the category of Culture2011 ForeWord Magazine Book of the Year!Gold Medal in the Regional categoryDetroitlandA Collection of Movers, Shakers, Lost Souls,and History Makers from Detroit’s PastRichard BakForeword by Neal Rubin2013 / 6 x 9 / 264 pp / 2 illus / ISBN 978-0-8143-3815-5, $44.95s clothISBN 978-0-8143-3816-2Great Lakes Books SeriesIn twenty-seven chapters that cover roughly a century of Detroit’s rich and colorful history, Bak relives thescandals, mysteries, catastrophes, triumphs, and celebrations that have rocked Detroit. He also introducesreaders to the heroes, criminals, stars, and regular people who lived through them, or in some cases, setthem in motion. Detroitland contains the stories behind familiar names like Frank Murphy, the infamousPurple Gang, the Lone Ranger, “Potato Patch” Pingree, and Charles Lindbergh.

Detroit sports HistoryThe Glory Years of the DetroitTigers, 1920–1950William M. AndersonWith a Foreword by Dan DickersonIn the three decades between 1920 and 1950, the Detroit Tigerswon four American League pennants, the first world championshipin team history in 1935, and a second world crown ten years later.Star players of this era—including Ty Cobb, Harry Heilmann, CharlieGehringer, Hank Greenberg, Mickey Cochrane, George Kell, and HalNewhouser—represent the majority of Tigers players inducted intothe Hall of Fame. Sports writers followed the team feverishly, and fanspacked Navin Field (later Briggs Stadium) to cheer on the high-flyingTigers, with the first record season attendance of one million recorded in 1924 and surpassed eightmore times before 1950. In The Glory Years of the Detroit Tigers: 1920–1950, author William M. Andersoncombines historical narrative and photographs of these years to argue that these years were the greatestin the history of the franchise.Anderson presents over 350 unique and lively images, mostly culled from the remarkable Detroit Newsarchive, that showcase players’ personalities as well as their exploits on the field. For their meticulouscoverage and colorful style, Anderson consults Tigers reporting from the three daily Detroit newspapersof the era (the Detroit News, Detroit Free Press, and Detroit Times) and the Sporting News, which wasknown then as the “Baseball Bible.” Some especially compelling columns are reproduced intact to givereaders a feel for the exciting and careful reporting of these years. Anderson combines historical text withphotos in six topical chapters: “Spring Training: When Dreams Are Entertained,” “Franchise Stars,” “TheSupporting Cast,” “Moments of Glory and Notable Games,” “The War Years,” and “The Old Ballpark:Where Legends and Memories Were Made.”2012 / 8 x 10 / 480 pp / 368 illus / ISBN 978-0-8143-3589-5, $39.95l clothISBN 978-0-8143-3592-5 eA Painted Turtle bookThe Detroit TigersA Pictorial Celebration of theGreatest Players and Momentsin Tigers History,Fourth EditionWilliam M.

Automotive HistoryArsenal of DemocracyThe American Automobile Industryin World War IICharles K. HydeAt the peak of World War II, Detroit’s automobile manufacturers accountedfor one-fifth of the dollar value of the nation’s total war production, and thisamazing output from “the arsenal of democracy” directly contributed to theallied victory. In fact, automobile makers achieved such production miraclesthat many of their methods were adopted by other defense industries,particularly the aircraft industry. In Arsenal of Democracy: The AmericanAutomobile Industry in World War II, award-winning automotive historianCharles K. Hyde details the industry’s transition to a wartime productionpowerhouse and some of its notable achievements along the way.Hyde examines several innovative cooperative relationships that developed between the executive branchof the federal government, U.S. military services, automobile industry leaders, auto industry suppliers, andthe United Automobile Workers (UAW) union, which set the industry up to achieve production miracles.He goes on to examine the struggles and achievements of individual automakers during the war yearsin producing items like aircraft engines, aircraft components, and complete aircraft; tanks and otherarmored vehicles; jeeps, trucks, and amphibians; guns, shells, and bullets of all types; and a wide rangeof other weapons and war goods ranging from search lights to submarine nets and gyroscopes. Hydealso considers the important role played by previously underused workers—namely African Americans andwomen—in the war effort and their experiences on the line. For this thorough history, Hyde has consultedpreviously overlooked corporate records collected by the Automobile Manufacturers Association that arenow housed in the National Automotive History Collection of the Detroit Public Library.October 2013 / 7 x 10 / 396 pp / 34 illus / ISBN 978-0-8143-3951-0, $39.95s clothISBN 978-0-8143-3952-7Great Lakes Books Seriese2009 State History Award from theHistorical Society of Michigan2010 Society of Automotive HistoriansAWARDMaxwell Motor andthe Making of theChrysler CorporationAnthony J.

In the hot summer of 1937, twelve-year-old Patsytakes care of her three younger sisters and helps her mother put up freshfruits and vegetables in the family’s summer kitchen, adjacent to the woodyard that her father, Douglas Ford, owns. Times are tough, and Patsy’smother, May Ford, helps neighborhood families by sharing the food thatshe preserves. But May’s decision to take a break from canning to take herdaughters for a visit to their grandmother’s home in Clarksville, Tennesseesets in motion a series of events that prove to be life-changing for Patsy.After boarding the first-class train car at Michigan Central Station in Detroitand riding comfortably to Cincinnati, Patsy is shocked when her family is led from their seats to changecars. In the dirty, cramped “colored car” Patsy finds that the life she has known in Detroit is very differentfrom life down south, and she can hardly get the experience out of her mind when she returns home—likethe soot stain on her finely made dress or the smear on the quilt square her grandmother taught her tosew. As summer wears on, Patsy must find a way to understand her experience in the colored car andalso deal with the more subtle injustices that her family faces in Detroit. By the end of the story, Patsywill never see things the same way that she did before.Elster’s engaging narrative illustrates the personal impact of segregation and discrimination and revealspowerful glimpses of everyday life in 1930s Detroit.

Made in Michigan Writers SeriesEarth AgainPoems by Chris DombrowskiThe second full-length collection from award-winning poet ChrisDombrowski, Earth Again transports readers to an imaginative worldwhere identity is explored and expanded. With a mixture of long poemsand shorter pieces, Dombrowski probes birth, death, sex, memory,and our blessed but treacherous engagement with the natural world.While he writes from a number of points of view and employs bothmale and female speakers, much of the collection’s singular insightcenters around masculine identity and being a husband and a father.Readers come away transformed, “like the land / gasping as it doeseach late winter evening when / the sky at tree line, nearly sapphiric,goes black,” as these poems prove Dombrowski to be a truly originalAmerican voice.Comprised of three sections—each of which concludes with a long poem—Earth Again presents a rangeof narrative and emotions in dexterous rhythms, unexpected shifts, and unforgettable metaphors.Dombrowksi introduces readers to arresting images like “the parataxis of her ass,” “cerulean, alchemicallight,” “Molly with the sun in her mouth,” and “labyrinthine, lanky-stemmed, dew-magnified” leaves.These details combine with Dombrowski’s note-perfect language, which alternates between the mostcolloquial and the most elevated of diction. Readers will be challenged to consider spirituality alongsideScooby-Doo Band-aids, and to meditate on death after the mower has chewed up a plastic dinosaur, asDombrowski revels in exploring our connection to the environment and one another.Fans of Dombrowski’s previous collection, By Cold Water (which was noted as a contemporary poetrybestseller by the Poetry Foundation in 2009), along with other poets and poetry lovers will appreciatethe attention to detail and the imaginative intensity of the poems in Earth Again.2013 / 6.5 x 8 / 96 pp / ISBN 978-0-8143-3729-5, $15.95t paperISBN 978-0-8143-3730-1 eMade in Michigan Writers SeriesPracticing to Walk Like a HeronPoems by Jack RidlIn Practicing to Walk Like a Heron multiple-award-winning Michigan poetJack Ridl shares lines of well-earned wisdom in the face of a constantlychanging world. The familiar comforts of life—a warm fire in winter, a lushgarden in summer—become the settings for transcendent and universaltruths in these poems, as moments of grief, sadness, and melancholytrigger a deeper appreciation for small but important joys. The simpleclarity of Ridl’s lines and diction make the poems accessible to all readers,but especially rewarding for those who appreciate carefully honed,masterful verse.Many of the poems take solace in nature—quiet deer outside in thewoods, deep snow, a thrush’s empty nest in the eaves—as well as manmadethings in the world—a steamer trunk, glass jars, tea cups, and books piled high near an easy chair.Yet Ridl avoids becoming nostalgic or romantic in his surroundings, and shows that there is nothingeasy in his celebration of topics like “The Letters,” “But He Loved His Dog,” “A Christmas List for Santa,”and “The Enormous Mystery of Couples.” An interlude of full-color pages divides Ridl’s more personalpoems with a section of circus-themed pieces, adding visions of elephants, trumpets, tents, sequins, andsideshows, and the uniquely travel-weary perspectives of jugglers, trapeze artists, roustabouts, and clowns.Practicing to Walk Like a Heron unabashedly affirms the quirky and eccentric, the small and mundane,and the intellectual and experiential in life. This relatable and emotionally powerful volume will appealto all poetry readers.2013 / 6 x 9 / 176 pp / 1 illus / ISBN 978-0-8143-3453-9, $17.95t paperISBN 978-0-8143-3539-0 eMade in Michigan Writers Series38Wayne State University Press regional Books

Ecology and the EnvironmentThe Amphibians and Reptilesof MichiganA Quaternary and Recent Faunal AdventureJ. Alan Holman2013 Michigan Notable Book!As selected by the Library of MichiganWith its temperate climate and variety of habitats, Michigan supportsa diverse array of animals and plants, including fifty-four species ofamphibians and reptiles. The dispersal and biology of the Michiganherpetofauna—amphibians and reptiles—is even more unique becauseMichigan consists of two peninsulas that project into large freshwaterseas and also because it was completely covered by a massive ice sheeta relatively short time ago. In The Amphibians and Reptiles of Michigan: A Quaternary and Recent FaunalAdventure, author J. Alan Holman explores the state’s amphibians and reptiles in detail and with manyhelpful illustrations, making this the only volume of its kind available.In Part 1, Holman discusses Michigan as an amphibian and reptile habitat, including a geological,climatic, and vegetational history. Part 2 presents recent species accounts, covering all fifty-four species ofamphibians and reptiles, along with their general distribution, Michigan distribution (with range maps),geographic variation, habitat and habits, reproduction and growth, diet, predation and defense, interactionwith humans, behavioral characteristics, population health, and general remarks. In Part 3, Holmanexamines the Michigan herpetofauna in Quaternary and recent historical times and the species accountsinclude Pleistocene, Holocene, and archaeological records. Color photographs of major herpetologicalhabitats in Michigan are provided and color photographs of all modern species are included.2012 / 8 x 10 / 320 pp / 165 illus / ISBN 978-0-8143-3239-9, $50.00s clothISBN 978-0-8143-3713-4 eGreat Lakes Books SeriesGeology and Landscape ofMichigan’s Pictured Rocks NationalLakeshore and VicinityWilliam L. BlewettMichigan’s Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore was established in 1966 topreserve one of the most exquisite freshwater coastal landscapes in NorthAmerica. Located between Munising and Grand Marais on Lake Superior,the rugged coastline is anchored by the Pictured Rocks cliffs—soaringsandstone fortresses awash with natural pink, green, and brown pigments.While the Pictured Rocks’ geologic history is generally well understood byscientists, much of this information is scattered among different sourcesand not easily accessible to general readers. In Geology and Landscape ofMichigan’s Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore and Vicinity, William L. Blewett synthesizes published andunpublished information on the park’s geologic history and combines it with vivid color photographs,detailed maps, and diagrams of the area.Blewett examines the history and geology of the very ancient Precambrian, Cambrian, and Ordoviciancomponents of the Pictured Rocks dating back hundreds of millions of years, as well as the much youngerunconsolidated Pleistocene (ice age) and Holocene (warm period since the ice age, including the modernlandscape) sediments mantling the bedrock, most of which are no older than 12,000 years. He also detailsthe history of the Lake Superior basin, tracing the events that shaped the modern shoreline from ancienttimes. For visitors to Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore, Blewett has provided a detailed mileage-referencedroad log to guide readers to the best and most accessible field sites, and, for the more adventurous,includes a day hike keyed to the geology. A comprehensive bibliography and index are also included atthe end of the book for further research.2012 / 7 x 10 / 200 pp / 124 illus / ISBN 978-0-8143-3441-6, $22.95s paperISBN 978-0-8143-3616-8 eGreat Lakes Books Series46Wayne State University Press regional Books

Ecology and the Environment2010 Michigan Notable Book!As selected by the Library of MichiganUp the Rouge!Paddling Detroit’s Hidden RiverText by Joel ThurtellPhotographs by Patricia Beck“Up the Rouge! is a gritty, unflinchingly truthful tale of a quest topaddle one of the Great Lakes’ most abused tributaries. It’s a storythat says a lot about our neglect of precious urban water resources, but it also holds out realistic hopeof a better future.”—Dave Dempsey, former policy advisor to Michigan governor James Blanchard and award-winning authorof On the Brink: The Great Lakes in the 21st CenturyThere is no river quite like Detroit’s Rouge River. Named by French explorers, the Rouge’s moniker wasborrowed by Henry Ford for his huge automobile factory near the river’s mouth. The river is also home totwo steel mills; cement, gypsum, and salt operations; and the largest single-unit wastewater treatment plantin the country. Although the Rouge is too polluted for public recreation and, in places, too log-jammedfor a motorboat, Detroit Free Press reporter Joel Thurtell and photographer Patricia Beck decided to travelup the Rouge by canoe to explore not only the river’s industrial side but also its beautiful and hiddenurban wilderness. Up the Rouge! is the surprising and educational account of their journey, narrated byThurtell and heavily illustrated with Beck’s evocative and eclectic photographs. Thurtell and Beck showthat despite its environmental contamination, the Rouge is home to wildlife and that its very seclusionmakes it a sanctuary. Maps are included to help readers track their journey. Anyone interested in theconservation of Michigan’s waterways will appreciate this unique and attractive volume.2009 / 10 x 8.5 / 152 pp / 67 illus / ISBN 978-0-8143-3425-6, $34.95t paperA Painted Turtle bookThe Late,Great LakesAn Environmental HistoryWilliam Ashworth“Ashworth has found a blend ofcontemporary newswriting, scholarlyresearch, and personal observationthat cunningly injects daunting quantitiesof information into an invitingprose style.”—The Los Angeles TimesA powerful indictment of man’scarelessness, ignorance, and apathytoward the Great Lakes.1987 / 5.75 x 8.5 / 288 pp / 6 illusISBN 978-0-8143-1887-4$23.95l paperGreat Lakes Books SeriesGreat Lakes JourneyA New Look at America’sFreshwater CoastWilliam AshworthThe follow-up to Ashworth’s earlierbook The Late, Great Lakes, publishedin 1987.
