The author describes his experiences growing up as a Mexican American in Fresno, California. In a prose that is so beautiful it is poetry, we see the world of growing up and going somewhere through the dust and heat of Fresno's industrial side and beyond: It is a boy's coming of age in the barrio, parochial school, attending church, public summer school, and trying to fall out of love so he can join in a Little League baseball team. His is a clarity that rings constantly through the warmth and wry reality of these sometimes humorous, sometimes tragic, always human remembrances.

Do you remember Al Radka and Hopalong Cassidy? When Fresno State's basketball team filled Selland Arena and won the NIT? When Fulton was a mall and Manchester Center was a fig orchard? Whether you answered, "I didn't know that," or whether you just want to be reminded, you'll find it all in "Fresno Century." It's part of the Century Cities series, which was created to celebrate and preserve the history of midsized and smaller American cities during the 20th century.In Fresno Century, the author of "Fresno Growing Up" presents new anecdotes, never-before-seen and historic photographs, and new details of familiar stories you thought you knew, all in an easy-to-read timeline format.Fresno was founded back in 1872 around a new railway station and grew to became, as of this writing, the fifth-largest city in California, with more than half a million people. It's home to a diverse array of cultures, from Armenian to Hmong to Basque Americans, the urban centerpiece of the state's agricultural heartland.The city's proximity to Yosemite, Kings Canyon, and Sequoia national parks, along with its location roughly halfway between Los Angeles and San Francisco, has made it a central player in California history. It has produced Olympic champions, baseball legends, major celebrities, and much of the nation's food.The county that shares its name is the nation's leader in agriculture, and not just for its raisins and wine grapes, for which it has long been known. Almonds, milk, citrus, oranges, figs, cotton, garlic, tomatoes, and pistachios are or have been big there at one time or another.The pioneer years of the 19th century boom and recent developments in the new millennium hold many tales of their own. Fresno Century tells the story of what happened in between.

Life courses, both professional and personal, are often directed by unplanned experiences. At crossroads, which path is followed and which hard choices are made can change the direction of one's future. Wendell Bell's life illustrates how totally unforeseen events can shape individual lives. As he notes, despite our hopes and our plans for the future, there is also serendipity, feedback, twists and turns, chance and circumstance, all of which shape our futures with sometimes surprising results. In Bell's case, such twists and turns of chance and circumstance led to his role in developing the new field of futures studies. In Memories of the Future, Bell recognizes the importance of images of the future and the effect of these images on events to come. Such images-dreams, visions, or whatever we call them-help to determine our actions, which, in turn, help shape the future, although not always in ways that we intend. Bell illustrates, partly with the story of his own life, how people remember such past images of the future and how the memories of them linger and are often used to judge the real outcomes of their lives. This is a fascinating view of the work of an important social scientist and the people and events that helped define his life. It is also about American higher education, especially from the end of World War II through the 1960s and 1970s, a period of educational transformation that included the spread of the merit system; the increase in ethnic, racial, gender, and social diversity among students and faculty; and a massive increase in research and knowledge.

Peter Robinson has Republican parents and grew up in a Republican neighborhood. In college he helped found the notorious Dartmouth Review and infuriated dons at Oxford by revealing an enthusiasm for Margaret Thatcher. He returned to the United States to accept a position as a speechwriter in the White House of both Reagan and Bush. Nevertheless, this inveterate political insider has come forward with a no-holds-barred, honest appraisal of the party that owns his heart. In a political book with attitude, Robinson shares his sometimes angry, sometimes befuddled, sometimes downright amused perspective on the most pressing questions facing the party and the voting public. "It's My Party" promises to be one of the year's most entertaining and perceptive looks at America's political battlefield.
