Book Description
One hundred years ago, Cedar Rapids was nicknamed "The Parlor City" and "Queen City," and was known for its massive grain processing plants. Today, Cedar Rapids is known not only for its agricultural products, but also for its communications industries ranging from radio to avionics manufacturing to telecommunications. Cedar Rapids, Iowa focuses on the uniquely progressive heritage of the city, since its founding in 1842. The major institutions that made Cedar Rapids what it is today are included here in over 200 historic images from the collection of the History Center. Union Station, featured on the cover, was completed in 1897 and instantly became an impressive and fashionable gateway to the city. Other photographs look at the city's growth during the 1920s and '30s, when such structures as the Federal Building and Post Office, the Paramount Theatre, and the Art Center opened. This book focuses on Cedar Rapids from its early days as a "Parlor City" to its development of a "modern city" skyline in the late 1960s.

Book Description
CEDAR RAPIDSMaria had dared to invade a territory thought exclusive to men, especially by the men--that of product design and manufacturing. Having a degree in mechanical engineering did not absolve her from being scorned, rejected and emotionally persecuted by her supervisors. Had it not been for a newfound love, and her home away from home, she would have moved on. But, after losing that love, and going on to exciting business ventures in other fields, she was reluctantly coming back--to the town she loved, and the house which had provided solace to her memories. Also to the manufacturing company and its managers who had treated her abominably when she was young. Would her friends still be there? Her enemies? It would be different this time. She could guarantee that, because she is now the president of the company! But is that what she really wants?

Book Description
Known to some as "Capitol City," "River City," and "Groover's Paradise," Austin is a diverse mix of university professors, students, politicians, musicians, state employees, artists, and both blue-collar and white-collar workers. The city is also home to the main campus of the University of Texas and several other universities. As Austin has grown to become more cosmopolitan, remnants of its small-town heritage have faded away. Austin's uniqueness--both past and present --is reflected in its food, architecture, historic places, music, and businesses. Many of these beloved institutions have moved on into history. While some are far removed in the mists of time, others are more recent and generate fond memories of good times and vivid experiences. Images of America: Lost Austin explores, through the collections of the Austin History Center and others, where Austinites once shopped, ate, drank, and played.
