Iowa history ranges from the natural to what's been made by humans over many centuries. Find and hold the fossilized remains of sea creatures that lived 375 million years ago. Walk through a small-town home where one of the nation's most infamous--and unsolved--murders occurred in 1912. Savor pastries that originated in the Netherlands before the 1840s and watch where wheat is ground into flour in a windmill first built in Denmark and then rebuilt in Elk Horn. Listen to time softly tick away in an elaborately carved clock that auto pioneer Henry Ford tried and failed to buy in 1928 for $1 million. Join writer-photographer Mike Whye on trips to the known, little-known and unknown historic places in Iowa.

Book Description
An Iowa Farm Boy On Detour is the story of Henry B. Tippie--the first-born son of Iowa dairy farmers who turned a lifetime of hard work and a devotion to simple business principles into a true American success story.Written primarily as a personal history for his family, Henry's story begins near Belle Plaine, Iowa, where he was born in 1927. As a young boy, he listened to his mother's advice to get off the farm and find a better life, and her dreams fueled his drive for success. Before he celebrated his 90th birthday in 2017, Henry was an accomplished World War II veteran; a graduate of the University of Iowa; a successful businessman in Delaware and Georgia who helped orchestrate the first leveraged buyout (LBO) in American business history; a husband, father of three, and grandfather of nine; an entrepreneur and rancher in Texas; a recipient of the prestigious Horatio Alger Award; and a prominent educational and civic philanthropist in his home state of Iowa. The story of Henry B. Tippie is a universal tale, and many will no doubt see themselves in his rags to riches journey. But what makes Henry's story unique is the extraordinary degree of success he experienced--and the depth of what he calls "repayment for benefits received" to his hometown and the university that took a chance on him. This former Plainesman has never forgotten where he came from and the people who helped him when he had nothing. And that's what makes the story of Henry B. Tippie truly remarkable. "My whole life, I'm just a farm boy on a detour," said Henry B. Tippie. "That still sums it up pretty well."

Book Description
Maltz (law, Rutgers U.) discusses the often discongruous nature of the Burger Court, explaining its generally centrist proceedings, yet acknowledging that it, at times, produced decisions even more liberal than that of the Warren Court, its liberal predecessor. At the same time this book shows patterns that explain the doctrinal positions adopted by the majority in each case. Annotation copyrighted by Book News Inc., Portland, OR
