Book Synopsis Historic Highway Bridges of Michigan by : Charles K. Hyde
Download or read book Historic Highway Bridges of Michigan written by Charles K. Hyde and published by Wayne State University Press. This book was released on 1993 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Michigan's historic highway bridges are rapidly being torn down and replaced as they deteriorate or become unable to support increased traffic volumes and loads. While the state has the responsibility of providing safe bridges, historian Charles K. Hyde maintains that the state must also preserve many of these remaining historic structures to insure that future generations will have them to view and appreciate. In Historic Highway Bridges of Michigan, Hyde identifies Michigan's historically significant highway bridges within the broader contexts of American bridge design and construction in the 19th and 20th centuries. The book summarizes the improvement of highway bridge design in the United States and compares Michigan's experiences with national trends. To aid the reader interested in visiting the historic highway bridges of Michigan, regional maps show the location of bridges included in the text.
Book Synopsis Win Some, Lose Some by : Helen W. Berthelot
Download or read book Win Some, Lose Some written by Helen W. Berthelot and published by Wayne State University Press. This book was released on 1995 with total page 382 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Helen Berthelot's memoir, Win Some, Lose Some, tells the story of what happened behind the scenes at a pivotal point in Michigan political history. It's a chronicle of loyalty, devotion, vision, personality, and old-fashioned patriotism. Elected to office of governor in 1948, Democrat Mennen Williams served in that capacity until 1960. Despite opposition in the Republican legislature and resistance from the press, Williams garnered public support and literally built a state government that served the needs of the people. He left a legacy of elementary and secondary schools, college and university buildings, mental hospitals, roads, and bridges, especially his beloved Mackinac Bridge. Far more than a chronicle of Williams' career, Win Some, Lose Some reveals how politics and campaigning have changed —from budgets on a shoestring to multi-million dollar media exercises run by image makers, consultants, and market researchers.

Book Synopsis Son Of A Son Of The Thin Man In by : P. Gawel
Download or read book Son Of A Son Of The Thin Man In written by P. Gawel and published by Christian Faith Publishing, Inc.. This book was released on 2018-03-09 with total page 498 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this, the second offering of The Son of a Son of the Thin Man series, Murder Along the Crooked Way starts in Detroit and travels throughout the Waweatunong, or Crooked Way of Michigan and Canadian waters. Waweatunong is a Native American term for the connected waterway that includes Lake Erie, the Detroit River, Lake St. Clair, the St. Clair River, and Lake Huron. To look at it from outer space would certainly give the appearance of a crooked way. Nicholas Charles III, the once filthy-rich man, then poor man and currently attempting to get back to rich man status from California and Laura Stackhouse, his native-Detroiter fiancé and former hooker are finally engaged to married. The pending nuptials and recent changes in their living arrangements opened the door for our protagonists to spend more time together delving into the criminal element lurking in and around the Great Lakes. After a court battle to recover a portion of his inherited millions that was embezzled by his deceased accountant, Ferguson Malarkey, Nick and his bride-to-be make their first joint purchase. Of all the possibilities open to them, they bought a boat and sail directly into the path of abduction, drug trafficking, and murder on the high seas. In the midst of murder and mayhem, Doc went his way and the newlyweds went theirs. Doc inadvertently crosses paths with the just married, Mr. and Mrs. Charles and rekindles their earlier camaraderie in pursuit of the killer(s). The three sleuths and their crew blaze a trail through Michigan's water winter wonderland in an attempt to bring the murderers to justice. Returning crewmates from the Civil War era, Mackie and Cleophus get in on the action with their newly discovered hide and go seek type approach to their existence. From their ghostly past, the two former slaves returned to life in Murder by Proxy, one year earlier. Their adventures along the Crooked Way with their newly acquired post-Civil War shipmates give them an opportunity to fight crime when they are alive, then return to their ghostly state and do the same. As not-so-typical ghosts, they're able to see things as no one else can and go where no man has gone before. A renewed Native American connection with Laura's distant past adds to the Charles' cultural repertoire and provides a few curious twists and turns as well. Old friends reunite as allies in the fight against the sinister goings on throughout the Crooked Way. Who will be the hero? Who will betray the home team? Are Nick and Laura's newfound friends who they appear to be? What is the MacGuffin? Why the Great Lakes? Who did it? Only a read inside Murder Along the Crooked Way will satisfy your desire for the answers to this complex who done it.
