Sinopsis

"History of Dahlia" presents a fascinating journey through time, tracing the evolution of one of horticulture's most beloved flowers from its origins in Mexican highlands to its status as a global garden favorite. This comprehensive exploration weaves together botanical science, cultural history, and practical gardening knowledge, revealing how the dahlia transformed from a practical plant used by the Aztecs for food and medicine into the stunning ornamental varieties we cherish today.

 
The book masterfully chronicles three distinct eras: the pre-European period where indigenous peoples cultivated dahlias, its revolutionary introduction to European gardens in the late 18th century, and its subsequent transformation through intensive breeding programs. Readers will discover intriguing insights about Anders Dahl, the botanist who gave the flower its name, and learn how the dahlia's unique ability to produce new colors and forms led to groundbreaking developments in plant genetics and hybridization.

 
Progressing chronologically through carefully researched chapters, the book combines historical documentation with practical cultivation advice, making it valuable for both garden enthusiasts and botanical historians. While exploring centuries of dahlia development, it also addresses modern concerns about genetic diversity and heirloom preservation, offering practical guidance on cultivation techniques like tuber storage and propagation methods. This blend of historical insight and practical application makes it an essential resource for anyone interested in the intersection of gardening history and contemporary horticulture.

Along Lake Michigan - Shipwreck...

Michael Schumacher

The Great Lakes are graveyards of a vast number of shipwrecks (30,000 by some estimates), and Lake Michigan has more than the other four lakes combined. The stories of those wrecks tell the history of that mighty lake in its endless, mercurial challenge to human endeavor. 
 
 
 
Michael Schumacher charts the course of shipping disasters great and small on Lake Michigan. He illuminates the details of maritime weather and shipcraft, the lives devoted to and lost on the water, and the mistakes and monumental failures that led to these ships' watery ends. 
 
 
 
Here are tragic tales like that of the Eastland, the deadliest shipwreck in Great Lakes history, lost while docked in the Chicago River; the Rouse Simmons, a wooden schooner loaded with Christmas trees; the train ferry Milwaukee and the Wisconsin, a package freighter, gone within one week of each other in October 1929; and the passenger vessel the Lady Elgin, a devastating loss met with incredible heroism. 
 
The stories of these shipwrecks, spanning a full century of commercial traffic on Lake Michigan, document the myriad forms of bravery and misfortune that mark our encounters with the Great Lakes.
