Heart Mountain Chronicles

Engels | Hardback / gebonden | 9798993960029 | 2026 | 672 Pagina's

Most books and articles about the Heart Mountain Relocation Center focus on recounting the experience of the 14,000 people of Japanese ancestry who were forcibly confined at a remote location in Wyoming during World War II. How did they adapt? What hardships did they endure? By contrast, Ben and Jim Murphy have chosen to focus their research on the physical, operational and administrative infrastructures of the Heart Mountain camp itself. The result is a remarkable, pathbreaking and much needed book. The value of this fact-filled volume cannot be overstated. It will serve as an indispensable resource for future scholars, historians, researchers and it will enrich the already great work being done by staff of the Heart Mountain Wyoming Foundation's Interpretive Center and Museum. Beyond that, the Chronicles is written so clearly and illustrated with such fascinating photographs, it will be enjoyed by even the casual reader who wants to learn a bit more about what had once been the third largest city in Wyoming. This is the fascinating story of a temporary city, its infrastructure, its people, and all the accompanying community services that were created from scratch in a very short time with very few resources. Included are many previously unpublished photographs and blueprints.

The Making and Unmaking of East-West Link

Engels | Paperback | 9780522878363 | 2022 | 240 Pagina's

Melbourne's aborted East–West Link — the massive, multi-billion-dollar inner-city toll road project that promised to knit Melbourne closer together — was stymied from the start. Intense picketing and protests, multiple court challenges, breathless media coverage and bitter politicking consumed the Victorian parliament for some years. The Link brought the downfall of the single-term Baillieu–Napthine Liberal government; its cancellation cost the state half a billion dollars; and it lives on in infamy, a byword in the Australian lexicon for political brinkmanship, waste and politicisation of infrastructure. But where did this notorious megaproject come from, and what explains its fate? Was it a project hand-picked by state premiers for party-political reasons and mismanaged by bureaucrats? Was it foisted on the government by cunning roads chiefs, unprepared for the public backlash? Or was it simply that opponents of the project succeeded by turning it into an election issue? In The Making and Unmaking of East–West Link, James Murphy explores the saga from competing vantage points, detailing the layers of politics that saturate infrastructure policymaking in Australia.
