A Thousand Pieces of Paradise is an ecological history of property and a cultural history of rural ecosystems set in one of the Midwest’s most historically significant regions, the Kickapoo River Valley. Whether examining the national war on soil erosion, Amish migration, a Corps of Engineers dam project, or Native American land claims, Lynne Heasley traces the history of modern American property debates. Her book holds powerful lessons for rural communities seeking to reconcile competing values about land and their place in it.

"Baseball is everything in the Kickapoo Valley of southwestern Wisconsin in the late 1940s. With the aftermath of the Great Depression and World War II still hanging heavily over the sparsely populated town of MIllersville, parents make every effort to hold their families together and instill wholesome values in their children. Baseball is the only thing that keeps them united. Out of this seemingly bleak situation evolves a group of underdog kids that are destined to challenge the record books and immortalize high school baseball history in Wisconsin. There are no divisions in high school sports in the 1940s and early 1950s, so tiny MIllersville is forced to compete against schools with twenty times as many students in order to qualify for the state championship. After graduation five of their players are offered pro contracts. Readers will want to stand up and cheer as the learn the riveting story behind this extraordinary slice of American history that may never be repeated."--P. [4] of cover.

This is a thirty-year quest for the secret of UFOs-in Wisconsin cow pastures, the Pentagon, and the ivory towers of academia. These are true, personal reports of UFO encounters by everyday rural people. Additionally, there are yearly updates of events in the worldwide study of UFOlogy, along with portraits of some of the leading figures in the field. In UFOs of the Kickapoo, author John Sime uses his experience in studying literature to present UFO sightings and contacts in a perceptive manner. Sime understands the psychological need for experiencers to get their stories told. Meanwhile, his own personal UFO experiences give him insight into the feelings and emotions of the people telling him their stories.

The Driftless Land, a collection of essays by Kevin Koch, is a search for the spirit of place among the bluffs, woodlands, and prairies of the Upper Mississippi River valley. The Midwest is commonly known for its flatlands, for oceans of corn pressing towards the horizon beneath a big sky. Lesser known are the steep hills and bluffs, the ravines and towering rock outcroppings where the upper Mississippi carves its meandering path. These rugged lands amid the prairies are known as The Driftless Area, a 20,000 square-mile region of northeast Iowa, northwest Illinois, southeast Minnesota, and southwest and central Wisconsin, bypassed by most of the glaciers. Koch observes, "You can 'love nature' and 'love the land'--but you won't know place until you've walked slowly and attentively through Lost Canyon or the Kickapoo Valley Reserve or Swiss Valley or Trempealeau Mountain, and then returned to learn what you can about them." Hidden within the woodlands are the imprints of human history and the deeper geological story as well, the story of a land untouched by the ancient onslaught of leveling glaciers. The result is a call to know place deeply, whatever place you inhabit.
