Potato City
I must say this book took me by surprise.I borrowed it from an uncle via my mother who said it was a good book.Many times her opinions fail to inspire me to actually finish the book in question.But this book is truly a gem.It has it all, history, environment, natural history, ecology, and an underlying message on modern urban development.

This book focuses on North Branch, Minnesota, a town I have been connected to my entire life.It began as a small farming community in east central Minnesota, but today is one of the fastest growing outer ring suburbs in our state.This book chronicles the town's beginnings, its present, and projects its future.Potatoes were the reason this community was born, but the coming of dairy farming altered the soil chemistry and the potato industry passed into history.

The author does a splendid job recreating this history, but this is no mere history book.It covers the natural environment and how the community dealt with (and continues to deal with) growth.Sue Leaf offers warnings to developing this area without proper care for the land being developed.The local ecosystems are in jeopardy if true environmentalism is not fully integrated into development plans.

This book focuses on one former farming community but in reality it could be Anywhere, USA by just changing a few of the details.I recommend this book for history lovers, ecology or natural history lovers, urban planners (or any who face the threat or the prospect of development, or anyone interested in reading a darn good book. ...

Product Description
A detailed portrait of Swedish immigrant life and culture in the Twin Cities of St. Paul and Minneapolis, told in 22 essays by leading scholars from the U.S. and Sweden.

In this book, contributions from twenty-four leading scholars in both the United States and Sweden investigate various facets of Swedish life and culture in the Twin Cities. For these immigrants, many of whom had been farmers in the old country, the cities of Minneapolis and St. Paul were truly an urban frontier.

During the era of Swedish mass emigration to the United States--about 1.3 million Swedes arrived between 1850 and 1930--more members of this group made their homes in Minnesota than in any other state. By 1910 Swedes were the largest ethnic group in Minneapolis, claiming a quarter of the city's residents, and the second largest in St. Paul. As newcomers to this urban landscape, Swedish immigrants managed to leave their mark--in politics and in business, in religion and in art--even as they assimilated to the urban American culture in which they lived and worked.

The first-ever collection of essays on the subject, SWEDES IN THE TWIN CITIES enhances our understanding of the immigrant experience in Minneapolis and St. Paul while also making an important contribution to the broader history of Swedish immigration to the United States. ... Read more

Excerpt:Avalon School is a project-based charter high school in Saint Paul , Minnesota . Advisors At Avalon, teachers (called 'advisors') are referred to by their first names: Some of the advisors are leaders of a homeroom-like group of students, called advisories. Advisories are housed in room-sized cubicles . Advisories are spaces where students work on independent projects or other assignments for math or seminars. Each student has their desk space which they can decorate as they please. The advisories create a semi-homey environment ideal for getting work done Seminars Seminars are, simply put, classes. These classes are specifically tailored to Minnesota graduation standards although they are not usually your traditional "Intro to Literature" style courses. Instead, the advisors get creative making classes such as "Rights of Passage", "World Genocide", or "1950's Literature". There is usually a small class size, although some classes (such as Economics) can become quite large. They are generally discussion based and allow the students to have quite a bit of control. Math Math seminars are offered for Algebra 1 ... Read more

Excerpt: Interstate Park -1.1 billion years ago, a series of volcanic eruptions from the failed Midcontinent Rift System sent at least ten separate lava flows across the region that now includes Interstate Park. These flows hardened into basalt, which fractured at several joints . In the Cambrian period, Between 530 and 470 million years ago, the region was covered by a shallow sea which deposited sandstone and siltstone atop the basalt. This epoch of the Cambrian, the Furongian, was originally called the Croixian in North America because the layers exposed in this area were its type locality. At the end of the last glacial period 10,000 years ago, torrents of water flowed south from the melting glaciers, carving the St. Croix River Valley. The soft Cambrian sediments were easily eroded into a wide valley, but the hard basalt was resistan...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=2798261 ... Read more

Product Description
This work was prepared at the request and advice of a number of friends, who believed that the writer had the material at hand and the opportunity to prepare it, better than any one else who was likely to undertake it. There seemed, too, a necessity for such a work. The old pioneers of our city and State were, one by one, passing away, and the events of our early history, if not soon gathered and placed on permanent record, .would be lost. The names even, of those who first plante4 their cabins on the site of our city, were fast becoming lost and forgotten: and their worthy acts, their labors, their adventures, the privations and struggles of frontier life, and other events in the earliest days of our city, were rapidly fading from the memory of the little group of pioneers who survived. Even what -manner of men they were, whence they came, their personal history, particulars which will interest those who come after us more, perhaps, than they do the present generation, were matters known to so few, and scattered in fragments among widely distant households, it was almost a sealed book to some of the pioneers themselves. ...
