Winter's Song
Author: TD Mischke
Publisher: Skywater Publishing Cooperative
ISBN: 1088116477
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 155
Book Description
Winter's Song celebrates the intimate, intense relationship Americans living in the northern Midwest have with the season. Many see it as a cold, drab, and miserable time of the year sprinkled with warm holiday spices and a yearning to fly south. Yet the book invites us into the lives of the hearty people of the north, born with ice in their veins, who accept and even embrace winter like it’s a member of the family. While the other seasons have their place among the pages, winter takes center stage and is depicted like a fantastic and familiar Nordic realm, one that has profoundly influenced and shaped the people of the north. From amusing stories of winter driving, unique fashions, and the inspiring experiences of children, to the effect winter has on spirituality, the health benefits of the cold, and the outsized role of the meteorologist, Mischke paints the season with whimsical humor, breathtaking beauty, ancient lore, and cultural touchstones. But Winter’s Song is more than a collection of heart-warming stories of those living in the north. It holds a frosty mirror up to their lives and examines their determination to weather the season and the abundant joy they receive from it. Only living there, can one find deeper meaning in the fluttering snow, the sparkles cast from sun-lit icicles, and the twinkling darkness overhead at night. Winter's Song isn’t just a hymn. It’s an ode that elevates the season to a living breathing presence and passes its rich rewards to those who invite it in.

National Park, City Playground
Author: Theodore R. Catton
Publisher: University of Washington Press
ISBN: 0295800860
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 224
Book Description
The majestic beauty of Mount Rainier, which dominates the Seattle and Tacoma skyscapes, has in many ways defined the Pacific Northwest. At the same time, those two major cities have strongly influenced the development of Rainier as a national park. From the late 1890s, when the Pacific Forest Reserve became Mount Rainier National Park, the evolving relationship between the mountain and its surrounding residents has told a history of the region itself. That story also describes the changing nature of our national park system. From the late nineteenth century to the present, park service representatives and other officials have created policies, built roads and hotels, and regulated public use of and access to Mount Rainier. Conflicting interests have shaped the decision-making process and characterized human interaction with the park. The Rainier National Park Company promoted Paradise Inn as a destination resort for East Coast tourists; Cooperative Campers of the Pacific Northwest developed backcountry camps for working-class recreationists; Asahel Curtis of the Good Roads Association wanted a road encircling the mountain; The Mountaineers promoted free public campgrounds and a roadless preserve; others focused on managing and protecting the upper mountain. The National Park Service mediated among the various parties while developing their own master plan for the park. In an engaging and accessible style, historian Theodore Catton tells the story of Mount Rainier, examining the controversies and compromises that have shaped one of America's most beautiful and beloved parks. National Park, City Playground reminds us that the way we manage our wilderness areas is a vital concern not only for the National Park Service, but for all citizens.
