Book excerpt: Keith A. Owens"Detroit Stories is our attempt to expose both the beauty and the horror, the white hot friction of their coexistence that gave birth to an idea that some have mistaken for an illusion."Cornelius Fortune"Today, it's hip to reference Detroit because of this apparent resurgence everyone's talking about. Fair enough. With all this national attention, other outlets are telling our stories: outsiders looking in. But Detroiters - and those native to the city - are the voices really qualified to tell the tale. It's a view from the inside, from the idea factory, unfiltered. The cross-pollination of blue/white/collar/industrialization/technological wonder. It's chili fry grease on the paper bag. Westside and eastside like two twin star systems derived from the same node."Dr. Robert McTyre"Detroit's story; it's hearkening to something glorious and wonderful and always ALWAYS In the process of becoming. We ARE the timeless journey of discovering and rediscovering DETROIT." -

Download or read book The Way it was written by George Bulanda and published by Momentum Books LLC. This book was released on 2004 with total page 164 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The photos in this volume were culled from the back pages of Hour Detroit magazine, offering a representative glimpse back at the way Detroit was, from the earliest shot, 1880, to the most recent, 1987. "The Way It Was" is a popular feature with the magazine's readers, many of whom being reading each issue from the back page first. Some readers recall events or buildings because they lived through that particular time. Youthful readers, familiar only with a largely forlorn city, are frequently astounded by images of a town that once pulsated with energy. Most of these pictures don't depict important or cataclysmic moments in the city's history, although there are shots of famous people visiting Detroit, from John F. Kennedy speaking to a downtown crowd, to Frank Sinatra performing at Cobo Hall. But the majority are simply images capturing a time and place that are no more. In their spontaneity, they evoke life as it was lived.

Download or read book Bigger Than the Game written by Dirk Hayhurst and published by Kensington Books. This book was released on 2014 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The best writer in a baseball uniform." --Tyler Kepner, The New York Times After nearly a decade in the minors, Dirk Hayhurst defied the odds to climb onto the pitcher's mound for the Toronto Blue Jays. Newly married, with a big league paycheck and a brand new house, Hayhurst was ready for a great season in the Bigs. Then fate delivered a crushing hit. Hayhurst blew out his pitching shoulder in an insane off-season workout program. After surgery, rehab, and more rehab, his major-league dreams seemed more distant than ever. From there things got worse, weirder, and funnier. In a crazy world of injured athletes, autograph-seeking nuns, angry wrestlers, and trainers with a taste for torture, Hayhurst learned lessons about the game--and himself--that were not in any rulebook. Honest, soul'searching, insightful, hilarious, and moving, Dirk Hayhurst's latest memoir is an indisputable baseball classic. Praise for The Bullpen Gospels and Out of My League "Dirk Hayhurst writes about baseball in a unique way. Observant, insightful, human, and hilarious." --Bob Costas "A fun read. . .This book shows why baseball is so often used as a metaphor for life." --Keith Olbermann "Entertaining and engaging. . .reminiscent of Jim Bouton's Ball Four." --Booklist "A rare gem of a baseball book." --Tom Verducci, Sports Illustrated "A humorous, candid, and insightful memoir of Hayhurst's rookie season in the majors. . .Grade: Home Run." --Cleveland Plain Dealer

Download or read book Detroit written by Scott Martelle and published by Chicago Review Press. This book was released on 2014-03-01 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Detroit was established as a French settlement three-quarters of a century before the founding of this nation. A remote outpost built to protect trapping interests, it grew as agriculture expanded on the new frontier. Its industry leapt forward with the completion of the Erie Canal, which opened up the Great Lakes to the East Coast. Surrounded by untapped natural resources, Detroit turned iron into stoves and railcars, and eventually cars by the millions. This vibrant commercial hub attracted businessmen and labor organizers, European immigrants and African Americans from the rural South. At its heyday in the 1950s and ’60s, one in six American jobs were connected to the auto industry and Detroit. And then the bottom fell out. Detroit: A Biography takes a long, unflinching look at the evolution of one of America’s great cities, and one of the nation’s greatest urban failures. It seeks to explain how the city grew to become the heart of American industry and how its utter collapse resulted from a confluence of public policies, private industry decisions, and deep, thick seams of racism. This updated paperback edition includes recent developments under Michigan’s Emergency Manager law. And it raises the question: when we look at modern-day Detroit, are we looking at the ghost of America’s industrial past or its future? Scott Martelle is the author of The Fear Within and Blood Passion and is a professional journalist who has written for the Detroit News, the Los Angeles Times, the Rochester Times-Union, and more.

Book excerpt: A New York Times Notable Book On Devil’s Night, the night before Halloween, some citizens of Detroit try to burn down their neighborhoods for an international audience of fire buffs.
