Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The new Eau Claire of the post-World War II period emerged slowly but steadily. Economically it did not shed its manufacturing significance, but it came to define industrial more broadly. The new at-large City Council appreciated that higher education, medical care, and government were all important service industries that needed to be encouraged. It was also in this period that Eau Claire became a major center of commerce focusing on large shopping malls and national retailers. This new center of service and commerce also expanded rapidly outside of the valleys of the Chippewa and Eau Claire Rivers. This surge to the south threatened the existence of the older Eau Claire, but the downtown core of the city, the Confluence, proved resilient, and by the city's sesquicentennial (2022) it had recovered much of its earlier aura and prominence. The "creative economy" it represented perhaps augers well for the creation of a fourth Eau Claire. That will, most likely, depend on national trends.
Download or read book New Perspectives on the History of the Twentieth Century American High School written by Kyle P. Steele and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-11-07 with total page 374 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The growth of the American high school that occurred in the twentieth century is among the most remarkable educational, social, and cultural phenomena of the twentieth century. The history of education, however, has often reduced the institution to its educational function alone, thus missing its significantly broader importance. As a corrective, this collection of essays serves four ends: as an introduction to the history of the high school; as a reevaluation of the power of narratives that privilege the perspective of school leaders and the curriculum; as a glimpse into the worlds created by students and their communities; and, most critically, as a means of sparking conversations about where we might look next for stories worth telling.

Download or read book Iowa s Geological Past written by Wayne I. Anderson and published by University of Iowa Press. This book was released on 1998 with total page 444 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Iowa's rock record is the product of more than three billion years of geological processes. The state endured multiple episodes of continental glaciation during the Pleistocene Ice Age, and the last glacier retreated from Iowa a mere (geologically speaking) twelve thousand years ago. Prior to that, dozens of seas came and went, leaving behind limestone beds with rich fossil records. Lush coal swamps, salty lagoons, briny basins, enormous alluvial plains, ancient rifts, and rugged Precambrian mountain belts all left their mark. In "Iowa's Geological Past, " Wayne Anderson gives us an up-to-date and well-informed account of the state's vast geological history from the Precambrian through the end of the Great Ice Age. Anderson takes us on a journey backward into time to explore Iowa's rock-and-sediment record. In the distant past, prehistoric Iowa was covered with shallow seas; coniferous forests flourished in areas beyond the continental glaciers; and a wide variety of animals existed, including mastodon, mammoth, musk ox, giant beaver, camel, and giant sloth. The presence of humans can be traced back to the Paleo-Indian interval, 9,500 to 7,500 years ago. Iowa in Paleozoic time experienced numerous coastal plain and shallow marine environments. Early in the Precambrian, Iowa was part of ancient mountain belts in which granite and other rocks were formed well below the earth's surface. The hills and valleys of the Hawkeye State are not everlasting when viewed from the perspective of geologic time. Overall, Iowa's geologic column records an extraordinary transformation over more than three billion years. Wayne Anderson's profusely illustrated volume provides a comprehensive and accessible survey of the state's remarkable geological past.

Book excerpt: "Cities are constantly changing. Looking at what a city has built over its history is a good way to draw a picture of the life of a city, its people's attitudes and assumptions, their dreams and their fears. What was built, what wasn't built, what has been cared for and what has been abandoned reveal a collective portrait of the generations of citizens and how they responded to the times they lived in. Photographer Travis Dewitz's 'Unseen and Historic Eau Claire,' presented by the Chippewa Valley Museum, is an exploration of the city through photographs of its historic and modern buildings." --volumeone.org
Download or read book Empire of Water written by David Soll and published by Cornell University Press. This book was released on 2013-03-26 with total page 297 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Supplying water to millions is not simply an engineering and logistical challenge. As David Soll shows in his finely observed history of the nation’s largest municipal water system, the task of providing water to New Yorkers transformed the natural and built environment of the city, its suburbs, and distant rural watersheds. Almost as soon as New York City completed its first municipal water system in 1842, it began to expand the network, eventually reaching far into the Catskill Mountains, more than one hundred miles from the city. Empire of Water explores the history of New York City’s water system from the late nineteenth century to the early twenty-first century, focusing on the geographical, environmental, and political repercussions of the city’s search for more water. Soll vividly recounts the profound environmental implications for both city and countryside. Some of the region’s most prominent landmarks, such as the High Bridge across the Harlem River, Central Park’s Great Lawn, and the Ashokan Reservoir in Ulster County, have their origins in the city’s water system. By tracing the evolution of the city’s water conservation efforts and watershed management regime, Soll reveals the tremendous shifts in environmental practices and consciousness that occurred during the twentieth century. Few episodes better capture the long-standing upstate-downstate divide in New York than the story of how mountain water came to flow from spigots in Brooklyn and Manhattan. Soll concludes by focusing on the landmark watershed protection agreement signed in 1997 between the city, watershed residents, environmental organizations, and the state and federal governments. After decades of rancor between the city and Catskill residents, the two sides set aside their differences to forge a new model of environmental stewardship. His account of this unlikely environmental success story offers a behind the scenes perspective on the nation’s most ambitious and wide-ranging watershed protection program.
