Download or read book Michigan Remembered written by Constance B. Schulz and published by Wayne State University Press. This book was released on 2001 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the collections of the Prints and Photographs Division of the Library of Congress are more than 1500 photographs of the state of Michigan during the depression and wartime years of the 1930s and 1940s, taken by some of the most talented photographers of that generation. The FSA photographs have become the nation's visual memory of these trying times. Michigan Remembered contains 150 of these images, chosen to represent various geographic areas of Michigan, the economic diversity of the state and its people, and a broad range of subjects ranging from urban and industrial scenes of Detroit and the surrounding areas to images of the Upper Peninsula and rural and community life in the Lower Peninsula. The two introductory essays enhance the story told by the photographs. The first, by William H. Mulligan Jr., recounts the history of Michigan during the momentous events of the depression and wartime years. The second, by Constance B. Schulz, tells the lesser known story of the origins of the FSA in the agricultural program of the New DeaL and exlains the importance of Roy E. Stryker as the agency's director and the process by which more than 200,000 photographs were accumulated in the FSA/OWI files. Brief biographical sketches of the photographers include descriptions of their travels and work in Michigan. Michigan Remembered joins more than a dozen other state studies of the FSA/OWI photographs and provides a unique visual perspective on a key midwestern state during the mid-twentieth century. It will be of interest both to scholars of historical documentary photography and Michigan history, and to those fascinated by historical photographs of years which they, their parents, or their grandparents can still recall.
Download or read book The Clock Shop written by Richard Ashland and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2006-02 with total page 245 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rikker felt his gut tightening up. After thirty years as an intelligence officer, he always thought six steps ahead of everyone else. He always knew what to expect, and most of the time he was right. He didn't like surprises and avoided them by being better than the other guy. But this was different, he'd been caught off guard, and, he had no idea of what to expect. In the back of his head he could hear Mary's voice saying, 'what if, Charles, what if?' Colonel Charles Rikker is too logical to believe that anything mysterious or dark has entered his life. He's risked his life for countless covert operations, and he has always known the risks involved. But this journey is only a project, a simple trip to find an antique grandfather clock. His mind is as fit as his body, but nothing could prepare Charles for the Emit Levart Clock Shop. The entire world has heard and seen reports of the unexplained deaths of some of the world's most prominent scientists and engineers, and also of America's favorite billionaire. But Charles learns the horrifying truth-only because it came to him in the clock shop. He doesn't know why he has been chosen, but he does know that if he tries to explain the peculiar circumstances, no one will believe him anyway.
