The Nevada They Knew
9781634990301
Regular price $28.99 Save Liquid error (snippets/product-template line 248): Computation results in '-Infinity'%Caples was a private, quiet man, extremely handsome, famously attractive to women, and five times married. Clark was gregarious, a compulsive talker, also handsome, but faithfully wed. Caples' works range from portraits of divorcées and risque cartoon maps of Reno during the heyday of its divorce mill, to charcoals of Nevada Indians, to profoundly spiritual landscapes - especially of Great Basin mountains. Clark's fame rests on The Ox-Bow Incident, but his finest novel is The City of Trembling Leaves, a celebration of youth based in part on the early years of his friendship with Caples in Nevada. Shafton goes back and forth between the novel and the men's biographies to honor their lives and works, and to understand the contrasting reasons Clark too soon stopped publishing fiction and Caples eventually stopped painting.
This book is also a memoir, of Shafton's friendship with Caples, his attachment to Clark's novel City, and his connection to a land both men taught him to love.
Abandoned Kansas City
9781634993487
Regular price $23.99 Save Liquid error (snippets/product-template line 248): Computation results in '-Infinity'%Kansas City is an ever-growing metropolis. Every day the city's expansion reaches out just a little bit farther. Along with this expansion comes more infrastructure and the need for space. Sometimes the structures that sit upon the coveted land can be utilized in the plans, while other buildings stand in the way.
In this next installment of Abandoned Kansas City, even more forgotten and vacant places tell their stories of the past, their decline into abandonment, and their present-day outcomes. Each of these places have historical significance, whether they are documented in the city's foundation or survive in the memories of those who remember them. Now they all share the same emptiness and neglect after their purpose has been served.
Florida’s Mangroves
9781634993494
Regular price $23.99 Save Liquid error (snippets/product-template line 248): Computation results in '-Infinity'%They rise, limbs interlocked like a mighty phalanx engaged in a slow northward march along Florida's coast. Collectively, they are battered and diminished after a century-long struggle. Yet, dutiful and resilient, they stand strong against hurricanes and storm surge, as well as their deadliest foe, the dreaded South Florida real estate developer. They are mangroves--a truly remarkable and underappreciated form of plant life.
Mangroves are nursery to dozens of species of commercially harvested fish; important anchors for the filter feeders who keep our waters clean; more effective than any seawall in halting coastal erosion; and bulwark against destructive waves and wind alike. What else do you need?
Florida's Mangroves: A Slightly Salty History lays out the glorious past, tenuous present, and hazy future of Florida's mangrove forests. Reporting from the Ten Thousand Islands to Cedar Key, from Weedon Island Preserve to Flamingo Point at the southern tip of Everglades National Park, and incorporating 140 lavish photos, historian Thomas Kenning offers a lively primer on the way that human activity in Florida has shaped--and, in turn, has been shaped by--the state's great, hopefully not late, mangrove forests.

Viewing music just hours before performances, convincingly playing diverse musical styles, facing the "minefield" of live shows, confronting challenges never addressed in conservatories, and efforts to gratify audiences molded the culture under the spotlights. Relationships with peers, conductors, entertainers, and bosses, and struggles to maintain personal and professional standards further distinguished the culture, all within a town that thrived on "sin." Interview subjects blend misgivings, enthusiasm, and humor to describe showroom life and the musical legacies they left behind.
