Using disposable cameras, each participant captured people, places, and things that make their lives in Detroit distinctive, inspired by the questions “what does your Detroit look like?” and “how do you want others to see it?” In the final display, over 1,700 images rotated across 60 digital photo frames, from a selection of over 10,000 submitted. For this volume, author Bradford Frost has selected 200 images from the exhibit to showcase the perspectives of hundreds of residents and the places they presented, from the gritty to the sublime. Reveal Your Detroit is composed of two main sections—The Authentic City and Detroit’s Vital Transformation—photo essays that evoke Detroit’s spirited resolve and respond to the dominant imagery of the city in decline. Photographers visit favorite Detroit sites like Eastern Market, the Detroit Riverfront, the Charles H. Wright Museum of African American History, Comerica Park, Michigan Central Station, and the Fox Theater; but they also highlight lesser known spots, like the cobblestone streets of West Canfield in Midtown, Hostel Detroit in Corktown, and the Central Business District Community Garden Downtown. Photos highlight Detroit’s vibrant street and folk art, the diversity of the city’s natural environment, and the vitality of residents and businesses in a range of city neighborhoods. Reveal Your Detroit is not only a beautiful gift book and record of a transforming American city, it is also a testament to the possibilities of creative partnership between grassroots organizations and larger cultural institutions. September 2013 / 10 x 8.5 / 184 pp / 200 illus / ISBN 978-0-8143-3963-3, $24.95T paper ISBN 978-0-8143-3964-0 e A Painted Turtle book The Buildings of Detroit A History W. Hawkins Ferry With a new foreword by John Gallagher First published in 1968, The Buildings of Detroit: A History by W. Hawkins Ferry is the definitive resource on the architecture of Detroit and its adjacent communities, from pioneering times to the end of the twentieth century. Ferry based his impressive volume on thirteen years of meticulous research, interviews with many prominent architects, and hundreds of photos commissioned specifically for the book. Ferry revised The Buildings of Detroit in 1980, adding the Renaissance Center and other modern works, and this re-released version presents the revised edition adding only a new foreword by John Gallagher. The Buildings of Detroit spans from the early 1700s, when the city was a fur-trading post in the wilderness, to its more contemporary position as the capital of the automotive industry and a major industrial city. Along the way, Ferry offers glimpses of the log cabins of early explorers and soldiers, the Victorian mansions of lumber barons, and the Grosse Pointe and Bloomfield Hills residences of motor magnates. He traces the development of new building techniques that gave rise to the American skyscraper and the modern factory. Ferry details all of downtown’s landmark buildings, including many that are no longer standing, and visits fascinating neighborhood structures like movie theaters, hotels, shopping centers, and apartment buildings. In each chapter, readers will meet the visionary architects and clients whose foresight and initiative helped shape the fabric of one of America’s great cities. The Buildings of Detroit also includes a selected chronology, maps, references, notes, an extensive index, and 475 illustrations. Previously out of print and difficult to find, this re-released classic will be treasured by Detroit history buffs and architectural historians. 2012 / 8.5 x 11.25 / 512 pp / 475 illus / ISBN 978-0-8143-1665-8, $99.00S cloth (800) 978-7323 wsupress.wayne.edu 3 glb2013 interior.indd 3 3/12/13 5:20 PM ART AND ARCHITECTURE 2013 MICHIGAN Notable BOOK! As selected by the Library of Michigan Detroit’s Historic Places of Worship Compiled and edited by Marla O. Collum, Barbara E. Krueger, and Dorothy Kostuch Photographs by Dirk Bakker With a Foreword by John Gallagher “Every house of worship profiled has something to delight both the armchair historian and the aesthete.“ —Matthew Alderman, The Living Church Nearly twenty years in the making, this volume includes many of Detroit’s most well known churches, like Sainte Anne in Corktown, the Cathedral of the Most Blessed Sacrament in Boston-Edison, Saint Florian in Hamtramck, Mariners’ Church on the riverfront, Saint Mary’s in Greektown, and Central United Methodist Church downtown. But the authors also provide glimpses into stunning buildings that are less easily accessible or whose uses have changed—such as the original Temple Beth-El (now the Bonstelle Theater), First Presbyterian Church (now Ecumenical Theological Seminary), and Saint Albertus (now maintained by the Polish American Historical Site Association)—or whose future is uncertain, like Woodward Avenue Presbyterian Church (most recently Abyssinian Interdenominational Center, now closed). Authors Marla O. Collum, Barbara E. Krueger, and Dorothy Kostuch draw on public resources, church archives, and oral histories provided by clergy, parishioners, and church staff. Appendices contain information on hundreds of architects, artisans, and craftspeople involved in the construction of the churches, and a map pinpoints their locations around the city of Detroit. In all, the authors profile 37 architecturally and historically significant houses of worship that represent 8 denominations and nearly 150 years of history. Full-color photos by Dirk Bakker bring the interiors and exteriors of these amazing buildings to life, as the authors provide thorough architectural descriptions, pointing out notable carvings, sculptures, stained glass, and other decorative and structural features. 2012 / 8.5 x 11 / 272 pp / 188 illus / 978-0-8143-3811-7, $39.95T cloth ISBN 978-0-8143-3629-8 e A Painted Turtle book 2013 MICHIGAN Notable BOOK!

Hodges When the railroad revolutionized passenger travel in the nineteenth century, architects were forced to create from scratch a building to accommodate the train’s sudden centrality in social and civic life.
