Denton; Texas; was founded in 1857 because residents needed a location near the geographic center of Denton County to house a county seat. The city is located 39 miles north of two larger cities; Dallas and Fort Worth; and the three of them form what is often referred to as the �Golden Triangle.� Denton; the peak of that triangle; is the �North Star;� and its residents; past and present; certainly are superstars�superstars such as Bob Rogers; the beloved �Piano Man;� Mary Evelyn Blagg Huey; a quintessential leader; and Hal Jackson; an ace war hero and lawyer. Their accomplishments burst forth from the chapters of this book to outshine others with their generosity; talents; skills; community activism; adventurous spirits; energy; civic pride; business acumen; courage; and creativity. Citizens of Denton are proud to say; �Our history defines our community.� The images and words between these covers illustrate why it should be added; �And our people define our history.�

An eclectic mix of surrealists; emphasizing Dali; it lacks direction. Reproductions of paintings are second rate and often muddy. The few exercises to keep growing minds busy are a mixed bag; some no doubt qualify as educational; but there are plenty of better books of this nature on the market.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Great Activity BookBy JDHeroI like this book for the activities that tie together the historical perspective of Salvador Dalis life. Some of the activities; such as the Dream Journal; can be use to open ones mind to Freudian Dream analysis.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. JackBy JackA great resource for art or art-history teachers; middle school and up and entertaining while informative for adults not well versed in Dali. Easy to follow review of historical events and artists/philosophers that influenced Dali during his life presented in an organized time-line.
