The Lumonics Theater
In 1969 Mel Tanner had an aesthetic breakthrough, and both he and his wife Dorothy began to construct a theater where they could combine all their work with sculpture and painting into a form of visual music. The result of that inspiration was the Lumonics Theater. The performance space they built was composed of 50 sculptures, a battery of projectors, lasers, and the spontaneous creativity that transforms technology into virtuoso performance art. The entire performance was designed so that no two are alike. This book describes the more than thirty year history and development of their theater from its beginnings in the 1960s through its final days in 2003.
The Chicago Marathon
Received the Hal Higdon Journalism Award, recognizing serious journalism about running from the Chicago Area Runners Association (CARA, 2007). The first book-length study of the city’s great annual contest In The Chicago Marathon, Andrew Suozzo reveals this citywide ritual as far more than a simple race. Providing a full-spectrum look at the event’s production and participants, Suozzo shows how the elements that comprise the marathon also reflect modern Chicago’s politics, it’s people, and the ways the city engages with the wider world. The book encompasses all of the forces that come together to make the race the spectacle it has become today. Beginning with a brisk history of the m...

Derby
Here is the first pictorial history of Derby, a community with a glorious Colonial past, a manufacturing era that spurred development throughout Connecticut's lower Naugatuck Valley, and a strong and enduring interest in its heritage. Derby traces the community from its early beginnings in the 1600s to 1950. Derby is unique in many ways. It has what is probably the oldest public burial ground in the country. It operated the first electric railway in New England at a time when there were only 12 others in the entire land. And today, it has the distinction of being the state's smallest municipality, with an area of only 5.4 square miles.

Mary Hallock-Greenewalt
Mary Hallock-Greenewalt played the piano with the Philadelphia and Pittsburgh Orchestras as a concert soloist, invented her own color organ that she called a "Sarabet" after her mother, and, in her pursuit of the art she named "Nourathar" by combining the Arabic words for "essence of light,"she had to invent the machinery required as well. Numbered among her inventions are the rheostat that allos the gradual fading of light, the mercury switch, and was among the earliest developers of colored gel filters for tinting theatrical lights. Her patent for the rheostat became the subject of an infirngement lawsuit in the lat 1920s against such large corporations as General Electric, a lawsuit that she ultimately won in 1936. This volume collects all eleven of her technology patents, revealing the refinement and evolution of the Sarabet. These patents also enable a clear evaluation of her contributions to visual music, since, as Dr. Betancourt notes in his introduction, the patents allow a much clearer determination of her place in history and a peer-reviewed statement of her accomplishments.
