Fueled by a massive immigrant influx in the early 20th century; Hamtramck went from being a small farming village to a major industrial town in the space of 10 years. This phenomenal growth attracted national attention and set the city on a sometimes precarious path toward the future. Despite often teetering on financial ruin; the city has always managed to right itself. Once predominantly Polish; Hamtramck has recently turned in a new direction to become one of the most diverse cities in the nation. This human tapestry--intertwining memorable people; places; and events of the past and present--is woven with the many colors that are so richly evident on these pages.

0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Great book; terrible e-bookBy SteveThe book itself is really quite good. Powell and Cowart do a fantastic job blending key Communication and Political Science theories from the academic world with the real-world practical knowledge from political consultants to offer a very unique and insightful take on the political campaign process. Its easy to understand and extremely interesting; so whether youre going for an M.A. in Political Science or just curious; I recommend this book as a starting point.That said; the format of the Kindle so-called "eBook" is awful; its essentially a amateurish scanned copy of the book; with only full sized pages available. Try scanning a pdf; then copying it to your tablet or Kindle- the effect is the same. No resizable text; no margin adjust; no column adjust; screen color; or even brightness adjustment. If you want to change the brightness within the app (rather than the device itself); you have to switch to another book first. Thankfully; text IS selectable; meaning you can make notes; highlight and search (otherwise I would have asked for a refund right away).If you dont mind carrying the hard-copy; youre much better off going that route (as of this review; the price of the "eBook" (read: a glorified series of page snapshots) is almost exactly the same as the cheapest used price; with no rental option).In short; while its nice to have a digital copy; this purchase should *not* be labeled an eBook; most modern eBooks for sale feature a much more professional format.
