Milwaukee Through History
New perspectives on state and national history through the lens of Wisconsin's oldest city This richly illustrated book for middle grade and high school learners uses primary sources and archival photos to explore Milwaukee's role in Wisconsin and US history. Milwaukee Through History highlights the city's multiple transformations--from a resource-rich homeland of Ho-Chunk, Menominee, Ojibwe, Potawatomi, and other Native peoples to an immigrant hub to an industrial boomtown and, finally, to a vibrant tourist destination that continues to grapple with issues of poverty and inequality. Readers will discover key people, places, events, and innovations that made Milwaukee--and national--history, including: - Freedom seeker Joshua Glover - Industrial giants like Harley Davidson & Allen Bradley - Whitnall Park and the North Point Water Tower - Labor movements and the fair housing marches - Civil rights leader Vel Phillips Author James K. Nelsen sheds new light on important events and milestones in history, including the American Revolution, the War of 1812, the Civil War, and the Great Migration. Written with middle and high school readers in mind, the book will appeal to people of all ages who are curious about Milwaukee's history and culture. Milwaukee Through History is both an engaging supplement to Wisconsin and US history curricula and a great read for anyone seeking a deeper understanding of a diverse and dynamic city.

Birdlore
From the author of Shark Lady comes the true story of Florence Merriam Bailey, the groundbreaking scientist who inspired a nation to take up bird-watching and worked tirelessly to protect our feathered friends. Before Florence, there was no such thing as "bird-watching". Bright plumes on lady's hats were all the rage, but no one was climbing trees or wading through marsh-grass to spot the birds they came from. Even scientists studied birds in labs instead of outside in their natural habitat. But Florence changed all that. A bird-lover since childhood, she wanted to show the world what made these creatures special. She wanted everyone to care as much as she did, and so she taught classes, printed pamphlets, and eventually began leading bird walks so people could see it with their own eyes. Over time, they did see! With hard work and perseverence, Florence changed the way we look at birds, inspiring millions to follow in her footsteps on bird walks of their own. With gorgeous illustrations by award-winning artist Devon Holzwarth (Listen), Florence's story takes flight in soaring spreads that capture her inquisitive spirit and passionate advocacy for our feathered friends, a legacy that lives on to this day.
