Whether Hicok is considering the reflection of human faces in the Vietnam War Memorial or the elements of a Modern Prototype factory, he prompts an icy realization that we may have never seen the world as it truly is. But his resilient voice and consistent perspective is neither blaming nor didactic, and ultimately enlightening. From the shadowed corners into which we dare not look clearly, Hicok makes us witness and hero of The Legend of Light. "

Beginning in 1906, A.J. Kingsbury sought to earn his living as a photographer. He frequently traveled the roads in the counties surrounding his hometown of Antigo, Wisconsin, taking pictures he could sell and resell to residents and the small number of tourists from the city seeking the peace and quiet of the countryside. He soon realized these photo images could be turned into picture postcards and began printing these in his photographer's studio in Antigo. Sadly, most of his work was lost in a fire that burned the studio and everything in it to the ground. This book, Langlade County, represents a small portion of the 600 remaining images and negatives captured by Mr. Kingsbury, preserved in the Langlade County Historical Society.

In Every Root an Anchor, writer and arborist R. Bruce Allison celebrates Wisconsin's most significant, unusual, and historic trees. More than one hundred tales introduce us to trees across the state, some remarkable for their size or age, others for their intriguing histories. From magnificent elms to beloved pines to Frank Lloyd Wright's oaks, these trees are woven into our history, contributing to our sense of place. They are anchors for time-honored customs, manifestations of our ideals, and reminders of our lives' most significant events. For this updated edition, Allison revisits the trees' histories and tells us which of these unique landmarks are still standing. He sets forth an environmental message as well, reminding us to recognize our connectedness to trees and to manage our tree resources wisely. As early Wisconsin conservationist Increase Lapham said, "Tree histories increase our love of home and improve our hearts. They deserve to be told and remembered."
