This is a beautiful book; I even liked the writeups on the endflaps of the jacket: "Cleveland is an American city quintessentially founded upon change...." It comes to us by way of Turner Publishing in Nashville. What struck both Gloria and me when we first opened it was that it featured the Breuer Tower and a picture of Marcel Breuer right in the beginning, opposite the Acknowledgments. This gesture of architectural advocacy did not go unnoticed and will not go unappreciated in our circles.

The authors, Ronald Burdick and Margaret Baughman, have done a great job of compiling a photographic history of my hometown, where both sides of my family came from Germany, Bohemia, and Ireland to find new opportunities between the Civil War and the First World War. The book spans the period 1850 to 1979, and I would imagine that the editorial assumption here is that anything from 1980 onwards qualifies as current events. What was especially useful to me was defining the eras: Village to City, Cleveland's "Golden Era," Economic Growth/The Great Depression/World War II, and The City [as it] Deals with Adversity. ( )
