Book Description: This is the story of the most dramatic legal development of the last one hundred years—the growing liability of real property owners or occupiers to crime victims. The Invited Killers of the title are "invited" by lax premises security, and they are not only killers but predators of every kind, including rapists, abductors, and armed robbers. The heroes of the book are the lawyers who try the cases when the criminals sue the property owners for their injuries. The cases are surveyed, but the main cases are discussed in detail, with all the courtroom thrust and parry that led to the decisions forming this volatile area of law. Written by a veteran legal observer and researcher, this book is rich in detail, broad in scope, prescient as to the future, highly readable, and full of surprises! John P. Ludington has written extensively about premises liability in the 3-volume Premises Liability 2d and the monthly Premises Liability Alert, and has edited books by leading lawyers like Jacob Stein, who represented Monica Lewinsky, and legendary Chicago litigator Jerome

The lumbering industry brought thousands of workers and their families to labor in the mills of Ludington and in the forests along the Pere Marquette River in the 19th century. Though some moved on to new lumbering areas, many remained and prospered as Ludington grew to become a manufacturing, transportation, and tourism center in the 20th century. Ludington: 1830-1930 features more than 220 images from the collection assembled by Ludington historian James L. Cabot, which show the progress of the community from a lumber-era boom town to a solid and enduring city. The book focuses on Ludington people and places during this pivotal century. Notable events chronicled within include the 1876 assassination of Luther H. Foster, the precipitous decline in lumbering in the 1890s, and the completion of the Million Dollar Harbor, which in 1914 confirmed the city's status as an important Great Lakes port.

Shifting Gears is a richly illustrated exploration of the American era of gear-and-girder technology. From the 1890s to the 1920s machines and structures shaped by this technology emerged in many forms, from automobiles and harvesting machines to bridges and skyscrapers. The most casual onlooker to American life saw examples of the new technology on Main Street, on the local railway platform, and in the pages of popular magazines. A major consequence of this technology was its effect on the arts, in particular the literary arts. Three prominent American writers of the time -- Ernest Hemingway, John Dos Passos, and William Carlos Williams -- became designer-engineers of the word. Tichi reveal...
