Two distinct communities which share equally vibrant histories, the twin cities of St. Joseph and Benton Harbor possess a rich heritage rooted in agriculture, manufacturing, transportation, and tourism. Through more than 200 photographs, this book documents the cities' development from the time when pioneers first struggled to create a community in the wilderness. It pays tribute to the men and women who labored to establish farms and industries, and celebrates the delightful beaches and amusement parks-such as the House of David and Silver Beach-that have brought joy to generations of residents and visitors alike.

Das Künstlerbuch Detroit zeigt die zeitgenössische Stadtlandschaft der deindustrialisierten Metropole Detroit als Überlagerung von Sozial- und Naturgeschichte. "Ruin Porn" und "Future City" sind Schlagwörter, unter denen die ehemalige Motor City aktuell medial gefasst wird. In den Fotografien und Texten beschreibt Franziska Klose sie als eine von der Industrie bedingungslos verbrauchte Landschaft, in deren Struktur sich, ungeachtet aller Beschwörungen einer kommenden Konjunktur, soziale Ungleichheit manifestiert. Die Erzählung vom "Comeback" wird kontrastiert durch Grundstücksspekulationen und Water Shutoffs aber auch durch das Entstehen einer möglichen Postwachstumsgesellschaft auf Basis urbaner Landwirtschaft und Selbstbestimmung. Franziska Klose ist Künstlerin und Fotografin. Seit 2010 arbeitet sie zu postindustriellen Landschaften.-The artist's book Detroit presents the contemporary urban landscape of this de- industrialized metropolis as an overlay of social and natural history. The catchwords "ruin porn" and "future city" are currently being used in the media to describe what was once celebrated as the "Motor City". In her photographs and texts, Franziska Klose describes a landscape absolutely consumed by industry, its structure a manifestation of social inequality, despite all the conjurations of an imminent economic boom. The story of the "comeback" is set against land speculation and water shut-offs and contrasts with the emergence of a potential post-growth society based on urban agriculture and individual autonomy. Franziska Klose is an artist and photographer. She has been working with post- industrial landscapes since 2010.

Winona Farmington havde en drøm om at få en universitetsuddannelse, flytte til New York og få en karriere indenfor forlagsverden. Men så kom virkeligheden i vejen, da hun måtte forlade universitetet og vende tilbage til sin lille hjemby i Michigan for at tage sig af sin syge mor.Flere år senere sidder Winnie fast i et job uden fremtidsudsigter og i et utilfredsstillende forhold, og hun konkluderer, at drømmeopfyldelse må være for andre mennesker. Hun trøster sig selv med at se utallige afsnit af sin yndlingsserie, Beauchamp Hall, fuldstændig betaget af verden mellem herskab og tjenestefolk og omgivelserne: det overdådige gods i Norfolk i 1920?erne.Da Winnie en dag bliver forbigået med en længeventet forfremmelse og hun også bliver forrådt af sin kæreste og hendes bedste veninde, tager hun en impulsiv beslutning i sin hjertesorg - en beslutning, som vil ændre alt.Hun pakker sine ting og flyver til England for at se byen, hvor Beauchamp Hall bliver filmet. Den ejendommelige B&B, som hun bor på føles hjemligt for hende, og søskendeparret som bor på godset føles mere som gamle bekendte end adelige. Og bag kameraerne er tv-serien i sig selv et dramafyldt foretagende.Winnie tager det ultimative spring ud i et nyt liv; et liv med drømme. På Beauchamp Hall kan man nemlig følge sine drømme? Der er magi overalt!

During its more than a century as a Cleveland suburb, Cleveland Heights has been shaped by the natural topography, technology, enterprising developers, elected officials, and its residents of many backgrounds. The result has been a rich mosaic of places and people. In the 1890s, wealthy Clevelanders began to leave the city's smoky factories and congested neighborhoods for the "heights" in East Cleveland Township. In 1901, the heights became the hamlet of Cleveland Heights. As its population changed, so did the suburb's homes, shops, schools, parks, and places of worship. Today, Cleveland Heights is as diversified as its citizens, its eclectic architecture and neighborhoods, and its unique history.
