Historic images, dating from the daguerreotypes of the 1850s, reflect places and times, the character of the communities and the people as the photographer viewed them. Today, Robert Fouts, the photographer as artist, records as nearly as possible the site and scene of the original picture, offering us the opportunity to compare the similarities as well as the differences within the setting.

They grew up together, on the same street separated by a half-dozen homes, yet they lived a world apart. Braxton Freeman dreams of a good college education, blonde, blue-eyed girls and a safe, secure future. Moses Burks just wants to go somewhere else fast, to a place where he would no longer be judged by skin color. In the summer of 1963 in a small, East Alabama town, Brax Freeman and Moses Burks find themselves caught in a vicious crossfire - between George Wallace, the KKK, state troopers and memories of a grisly murder they witnessed as youths. Neither Brax, Moses nor the town of Takasaw will ever be the same.

As a central location for the Civil Rights Movement, the historical significance of Montgomery is heavy. But that heaviness created a strong foundation for the area’s vibrant present and dynamic future. At the Rosa Parks Museum, learn how her wrongful arrest for refusing to give up her seat on a bus resulted in a 13-month city bus boycott. See the Dexter Avenue King Memorial Baptist Church where a young Martin Luther King Jr. pastored his first church, and experience powerful stories at the Legacy Museum. In 100 Things to Do in Montgomery Before You Die, you’ll discover more civil rights locations, but you’ll also find restaurants, art and music venues, parks, special events, shopping excursions, and outdoor adventures. This book celebrates the entire River Region of Montgomery, Elmore, and Autauga Counties. Enjoy the area’s diverse food scene from Venezuelan specialities at D’Road Cafe to Korean cuisine at So Gong Dong Tofu & BBQ along with Cajun and Creole favorites from Uncle Mick’s or Wishbone Cafe. Visit the Fitzgerald Museum to hear the tumultuous love story of F. Scott and Montgomery’s own Zelda Sayre Fitzgerald. Listen to the tunes of Hank Williams at his namesake museum. In Prattville, enjoy a refreshing drink from an artesian well and stroll through a bamboo forest in Wilderness Park. In neighboring Wetumpka, hike along the trails at Fort Toulouse–Fort Jackson Park or kayak with Coosa River Adventures. Millbrook is the best spot for a game of pickleball, and it’s home to the fictional town of Spectre from the film Big Fish. Local author Mary Johns Wilson has called the River Region home for more than a decade, and this book is her tribute to locals who have dedicated their time and energy to making the River Region a better place.

As an elementary teacher, I searched high and low for a book to teach alliteration, rhyming words and repetition all in one story. But I couldn't find it! So I wrote the book I needed. I wrote a story that teaches not only foundational reading principles, but also the character, history and legacy of the wonderful people, places and things in Montgomery, Alabama--my home.

The salmon that symbolize the Pacific Northwest's natural splendor are now threatened with extinction across much of their ancestral range. In studying the natural and human forces that shape the rivers and mountains of that region, geologist David Montgomery has learned to see the evolution and near-extinction of the salmon as a story of changing landscapes. Montgomery shows how a succession of historical experiences -first in the United Kingdom, then in New England, and now in the Pacific Northwest -repeat a disheartening story in which overfishing and sweeping changes to rivers and seas render the world inhospitable to salmon. In King of Fish , Montgomery traces the human impacts on salmon over the last thousand years and examines the implications both for salmon recovery efforts and for the more general problem of human impacts on the natural world. What does it say for the long-term prospects of the world's many endangered species if one of the most prosperous regions of the richest country on earth cannot accommodate its icon species? All too aware of the possible bleak outcome for the salmon, King of Fish concludes with provocative recommendations for reinventing the ways in which we make environmental decisions about land, water, and fish.
