Download or read book The Michigan Murders written by Edward Keyes and published by Open Road Media. This book was released on 2016-04-19 with total page 302 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Edgar Award Finalist: The true story of a serial killer who terrorized a midwestern town in the era of free love—by the coauthor of The French Connection. In 1967, during the time of peace, free love, and hitchhiking, nineteen-year-old Mary Terese Fleszar was last seen alive walking home to her apartment in Ypsilanti, Michigan. One month later, her naked body—stabbed over thirty times and missing both feet and a forearm—was discovered, partially buried, on an abandoned farm. A year later, the body of twenty-year-old Joan Schell was found, similarly violated. Southeastern Michigan was terrorized by something it had never experienced before: a serial killer. Over the next two years, five more bodies were uncovered around Ann Arbor and Ypsilanti, Michigan. All the victims were tortured and mutilated. All were female students. After multiple failed investigations, a chance sighting finally led to a suspect. On the surface, John Norman Collins was an all-American boy—a fraternity member studying elementary education at Eastern Michigan University. But Collins wasn’t all that he seemed. His female friends described him as aggressive and short tempered. And in August 1970, Collins, the “Ypsilanti Ripper,” was arrested, found guilty, and sentenced to life in prison without chance of parole. Written by the coauthor of The French Connection, The Michigan Murders delivers a harrowing depiction of the savage murders that tormented a small midwestern town.

Download or read book Iconic Ann Arbor written by Michael Samuelson and published by . This book was released on 2023-03 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ann Arbor is well known for the University of Michigan and the town's annual high ranking as one of the most desirable places to live, but there is so much more. For visitors, former and current residents, students, and faculty, Ann Arbor stirs memories formed, forming, and edited that are difficult to explain but keenly felt. This book invites exploring beyond the headlines for those old and new to Ann Arbor. It is a portal to a town named in 1823 for Ann Allen and Mary Ann Rumsey, the wives of John and Elisha. The photos are all current, but the historical notes and reflections help the reader time travel across years, decades, and centuries. These photos, notations, and personal reflections will stir nostalgic memories of enjoying ice cream at Washtenaw Dairy, grabbing a burger at Knight's with dear friends, and sliding into 2nd base at Vet's Park. Turn the page, and you will remember your first taste of pizza at The Original Cottage Inn, recall the legend of kisses shared under the "Engine Arch," a fantastic lecture/concert at Hill Auditorium, feel your jaw drop when you first saw the magnificent Greek Revival home on N. Division, and hear the real, tall tales of the summer day when two houses passed cars on Stadium Boulevard. The over 60 original photos trigger feelings and memories of joy, sorrow, hope, fear, victory, loss, love, insecurity, excitement, bravado, humility, retribution, forgiveness, denial, whistles in the dark, resentment, shame, tomorrow, and give-me-one-more-chance. The reflections will make you smile, laugh, think, remember, and nod your head in agreement. The blend of the three elements --- narratives, photos, and reflections --- highlights why Ann Arbor is such an iconic place to live and celebrate. A2 is a town we all love and will forever remember.

Download or read book Performing Commemoration written by Annegret Fauser and published by University of Michigan Press. This book was released on 2020-10-07 with total page 309 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Public commemorations of various kinds are an important part of how groups large and small acknowledge and process injustices and tragic events. Performing Commemoration: Musical Reenactment and the Politics of Trauma looks at the roles music can play in public commemorations of traumatic events that range from the Armenian genocide and World War I to contemporary violence in the Democratic Republic of the Congo and the #sayhername protests. Whose version of a traumatic historical event gets told is always a complicated question, and music adds further layers to this complexity, particularly music without words. The three sections of this collection look at different facets of musical commemorations and reenactments, focusing on how music can mediate, but also intensify responses to social injustice; how reenactments and their use of music are shifting (and not always toward greater social effectiveness); and how claims for musical authenticity are politicized in various ways. By engaging with critical theory around memory studies and performance studies, the contributors to this volume explore social justice, in, and through music.
Download or read book Vanishing Ann Arbor written by Patti F. Smith and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2019-06-03 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ann Arbor has seen many cherished landmarks and institutions come and go - some fondly remembered and others lost to time. When the city was little more than a village in the wilderness, its first school stood on the now busy corner of Main and Ann. Stores like Bach & Abel's and Dean & Co. served local needs as the village grew into a small town. As the town became a thriving city, Drake's and Maude's fed generations of hungry diners, and Fiegel's clothed father and son alike. Residents passed their time seeing movies at the Majestic or watching parades go down Main Street. Join authors Patti F. Smith and Britain Woodman on a tour of the city's past.
Download or read book Collaborative Remembering written by Michelle L. Meade and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2017-12-01 with total page 687 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We remember in social contexts. We reminisce about the past together, collaborate to remember shared experiences, and, even when we are alone, we remember in the context of our communities and cultures. Taking an interdisciplinary approach throughout, this text comprehensively covers collaborative remembering across the fields of developmental psychology, cognitive psychology, social psychology, discourse processing, philosophy, neuropsychology, design, and media studies. It highlights points of overlap and contrast across the many disciplinary perspectives and, with its sections on 'Approaches of Collaborative Remembering' and 'Applications of Collaborative Remembering', also connects basic and applied research. Written with late-stage undergraduates and early-stage graduates in mind, the book is also a valuable tool for memory specialists and academics in the fields of psychology, cognitive science and philosophy who are interested in collaborative memory research.
