This book looks at the changes in Alabama�s �Capital City of Dreams.� During World War II; Montgomery residents opened their homes and hearts to pilots at Maxwell and Gunter Air Force Bases. During the postwar boom; downtown flourished as homes and shopping centers emerged in suburbia. In the 1950s and 1960s; Montgomery became an important site of the civil rights movement. The 1970s brought urban renewal; while the 1980s focused on the arts with the Alabama Shakespeare Festival; the construction of the Montgomery Museum of Fine Arts; and the restoration of the Paramount Theatre as the Davis Theatre for the Performing Arts. Montgomery�s current downtown renaissance features the restoration of historic buildings for use as restaurants; retail shops; and a baseball stadium.

Review
13 of 55 people found the following review helpful. If only I could understand!By Steve ScottAs a 3rd year undergraduate studying composition; I cracked open this book; only to find jibberish. As soon as you begin it jumps into a language hierarchical graphic analysis. Maybe I didnt give the book a chance; but I think this book has a very steep learning curve; and assumes lots of background in analysis. Why cant they teach advanced analysis in undergraduate programs?
