Book excerpt: A native Midwesterner's timeless portrayals of a fragile sanctuary The Indiana Dunes Revealed offers the first comprehensive examination of a widely collected, much loved, and ecologically significant artist. Described by art historian William Gerdts as "one of the finest painters working in the Midwest in the first decades of the twentieth century," Frank V. Dudley (1868-1957) was a native of Wisconsin who studied at the Art Institute of Chicago before going on to establish a long exhibition record both there and across the country. He also dedicated over forty years of his professional life as a landscape painter to the promotion and preservation the Indiana Dunes. Today, thanks in part to Dudley's efforts, this unique geographical region enjoys state and federal protection and provides ecologists from around the world with a living laboratory unlike anything else. The Indiana Dunes Revealed serves as the accompanying catalogue for the exhibition of Dudley's work showing from August 15 to November 30, 2006 at the Brauer Museum of Art at Valparaiso University. Featuring 150 color and 70 black-and-white images, it celebrates Dudley's unique artistic legacy, documents the exhibition, and demonstrates the painter's importance to environmentalists and naturalists, especially during the many years of national debate over the designation of parts of the dunes as a national park. In some areas, Dudley's painting may be the only record of a lost dunescape, and as the struggle between development and preservation continues, his enduring art reminds us of the need for a sustainable environment for the Great Lakes.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Born of deaf parents at Delavan, Wisconsin, Frank Dudley (1868-1957) sketched the rolling hills and lakes of his boyhood haunts. His love of landscape led him to Chicago and its Art Institute, with his younger brother Clarence soon to follow. The two eventually established a portrait photography shop in the Union Park neighborhood on Chicago's near west side. In the mid-1890s, Union Park Superintendent Jens Jensen was there experimenting with his "American Garden" of native prairie plants, just across the street from the Dudley brothers, boarding together, first on the east and then the west side of the park. By the turn of that century, Clarence Dudley and Jens Jensen were in the Indiana Dunes with their cameras. Beginning in 1896, the Indiana Dunes on Lake Michigan's southern shore drew the interests of botanist Henry Chandler Cowles, whose work on plant succession at the University of Chicago established the Dunes as North America's "birthplace of ecology." In 1908, Jens Jensen began leading hikes to the Dunes, later establishing the Prairie Club that took the lead in a regional conservationist movement. Frank Dudley, established as a landscape artist in Chicago, followed his brother to the Dunes, finding purpose for his art and a mission to preserve a landscape. The 1917 Dunes Pageant brought tens of thousands to Waverly Beach at the mouth of Dunes Creek to push for a national park. Frank Dudley painted the scene, devoting his career to painting the Dunes for the next forty years. As the struggle continues between private industry and environmentalists, Dudley's pictures of his beloved Dunes still remind us of the need to protect a fragile landscape.

Book excerpt: This book is a hybrid nature photography and natural history book about the Indiana Dunes:1.It combines stunning photographs of nature with text that illustrates and describes the natural history of the Indiana Dunes.2.It focuses on four unique aspects of the Indiana Dunes: Beach, dunes, woods, and wetlands. 3.It is presented as a legacy to the Indiana Dunes and as an inspiration to readers to both explore and learn about the dunes.The book is organized around the four Dunes' environments of beach, dunes, woods, and wetlands. This takes the reader on a journey through the dunes that closely follows their geological formation and evolution and plant succession. We start our journey at the beach in Chapter 1, Beach. Here lake and land meet, the starting point for the formation of dunes, an environmentally harsh and challenging place to survive. Sand transported and deposited on the beach by waves and current is then moved inland by wind, resulting in the formation of sand dunes, which are explored in Chapter 2, Dunes. Here, the formation and types of dunes are experienced. As vegetation takes root and stabilizes the dunes, forests eventually grow. In Chapter 3, Woods the role plant ecology and succession plays in the dunes is shown. Oak savannas and spring wildflowers are seen. Finally, in Chapter 4, Wetlands, the diversity and beauty of the wetlands that form between dunes and in low-lying areas is revealed. Wetlands are perhaps the most biologically diverse area of the dunes, but probably the most overlooked and underappreciated area. Taken together, the four chapters take the reader on a journey that closely follows 6,000 years of natural history.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The true story of a woman who abandoned Chicago for a secluded life in a remote shack—and became an early twentieth-century sensation. In the fall of 1915, an educated woman named Alice Gray traded her life in bustling Chicago for a solitary journey in the remote sand hills of northwest Indiana along Lake Michigan. Living in a fisherman’s shack, she measured herself against nature rather than society’s rigid conventions. Her audacity so bewitched reporters and a curious public that she became a legend in her own time—she became “Diana of the Dunes.” Over a century later, the story is still a popular folktale, but questions remain. Who was Alice Gray? Why did this Phi Beta Kappa scholar leave Chicago? What happened to her soul mate, Paul Wilson? In this first-ever book about Diana of the Dunes, the mystery of Alice Gray is revealed by those who knew her and through new research. Excerpts from her dunes diary are published here for the first time since 1918. In these pages, rediscover the legend of Diana of the Dunes—and learn the truth.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Spearheading Environmental Change: The Legacy of Indiana Congressman Floyd J. Fithian describes the life of a four-term United States congressman, focusing on his role in the emerging environmental movement in late twentieth-century America. Spearheading Environmental Change highlights Fithian’s legislative efforts regarding three water-related issues that profoundly concerned Hoosier and midwestern voters: creating a national park on the Indiana shoreline of Lake Michigan; canceling dam construction near Purdue University; and mitigating flooding in the Kankakee River Basin. The book also covers Fithian’s positions on ecologically sensitive issues such as pesticides, noise pollution, fossil fuels, and nuclear power. Largely remembered for his participation in the Democratic reform wave that took over Congress in 1975 post-Watergate (the so-called Class of ’74) and as an advocate for Hoosier farmers, Fithian has been overlooked for his role as a force to be reckoned with on the House floor when it came to the nation’s environmental challenges. Fithian was a highly ethical, pragmatic reformer bent on preserving his country’s natural resources. Spearheading Environmental Change gives Fithian the credit he deserves as an environmental warrior on the national stage.
