Minnesotans are a tough lot, capable of pulling a house six miles by muscle alone or giving birth to a sixteen-pound boy. In 1921, young Phoebe Fairgrave set a parachute world record, stepping off the wing of a biplane 15,200 feet above the Twin Cities. In 1962, the last powerhouse Gophers football team brought home the Rose Bowl trophy. A year later, thirteen-year-old Jean Webb of Minneapolis risked arrest and refused to leave a segregated restaurant. In 1979, Gerry Spiess crossed the Atlantic alone in a 10-foot sailboat he built in his White Bear Lake garage. These inspiring stories and dozens more, culled from the Star Tribune newspaper archives, are presented in their original form by author Ben Welter, along with in-depth background, fresh interviews and more than seventy-five historic photos.

This book is as beautiful as it is informative. Her job is to correct paradoxes in time travel that she finds since she lives in a future where time travel is possible. There's a plane howling across the clear blue sky, banking hard, coming in too fast. It's full of photographs of all manner of hair styles dating from the civil war to the end of the 1920's. It makes the prospect of global war between cultures that some advocate seem even more stupid. There is the 'spider-web' method as illustrated by the book's end-papers, where all of the subjects are ultimately linked together. I love this book! Short and entertaining chapters on varied science subjects. Th
