History repeats. Today’s headlines of NSA cyberwar, missing jetliners, GM ignition scandals and environmental disaster echo back to WWII codebreaking, Murphy’s Law, Colonel Deeds’ Barn Gang and the epic bad luck of Thomas Midgley, Jr. 
 For over 100 years remarkable, intertwined individuals have reshaped the way we live our lives, from the keys in our pockets to the water we drink and the air we breathe. 
 Dayton was the Silicon Valley of its time, and these “grand eccentrics” in the small Midwestern city of Dayton, Ohio changed our whole world. Wherever we live we’re all Dayton’s Children. 
 The book’s twenty profiles include...
 • The folksy “Boss Ket,” second only to Thomas Edison in inventions
 • The legless black man who bootstrapped himself to the sky
 • The woman who beat out Amelia Earhart
 • The nutty cash register tycoon who rescued half a city
 • Plus an insider view of the swanky club that corralled them under one roof
 Their legacy includes an array of innovation styles worth reviving. No two worked the same way, not even Wilbur and Orville Wright.
 Mark Bernstein, noted author of Grand Eccentrics, contributes chapters on Charles Kettering, Arthur Morgan and John H. Patterson. LCD inventor John Janning and 1913 flood survivor Charlie Adams help tell their own tales. Kate Hagenbuch Martel conducted two interviews while Lauren Heaton of the Yellow Springs News profiled Hardy Trolander.
 Mark Martel wrote the balance of Dayton’s Children and illustrated each chapter, drawing upon his career in advertising. A first-time author, Martel is also a third-generation history buff.
 Praise for Dayton’s Children:
 The book humanizes the larger-than-life men and women from Dayton who helped create the world of today. I really love the fact that you don’t have to have an engineer's degree to understand and enjoy Dayton's Children. It should be required reading for every high school student in Dayton... and beyond!
 —Curt Dalton, Dayton historian and author
 To say Dayton’s Children “changed the world” may be the understatement of the 20th and 21st centuries. My great-granduncles, Orville and Wilbur Wright, are two sterling examples of Dayton sons who pioneered a new technology, aerospace, that would one day deliver mankind from our earth to the moon.
 —Amanda Wright Lane, great-grandniece of the Wright brothers
 Martel tells of the Wright brothers' accomplishments during the inventive heyday of Dayton, Ohio. A century ago, the new Engineers Club of Dayton created a nurturing atmosphere for men and women of vision. Is Dayton willing to reinvent itself?
 —Dan Patterson, aviation history photographer
 Dayton’s Children reminds its readers that plenty of historically important people who weren't named Wright had strong links to the Gem City.
 —Edward Roach, Historian at Dayton Aviation Heritage National Historical Park
 Dayton’s Children is available at Dayton History’s Carillon Park, Amazon.com and other retailers.
 Based on the website DaytonInnovationLegacy.org, with 50% new material and all-original illustrations
 “A few minutes spent searching other much better funded websites dealing with Ohio state and local history will underscore just how good DaytonInnovationLegacy.org really is.”
 —Tom Crouch, Senior Curator, National Air and Space Museum

The life and public service of Ohio’s transformative governor This first full-length biography of John Joyce Gilligan argues that Ohio’s sixty-second governor was the most significant Democrat in the state’s postwar years. But it is more than the story of a governor. Through painstaking research and dozens of interviews, author Mark Bernstein paints a vivid picture of Ohio’s past and its prospects for the future that includes an array of lesser politicians― some of them outlandish―who aided or opposed Gilligan’s efforts. Gilligan did not intend to have a political career. The Cincinnati native resolved to join a Jesuit seminary, but when Pearl Harbor was bombed, he enlisted in the Navy and won the Silver Star at Okinawa. While on leave, Gilligan married the former Katie Dixon, whom he had known since childhood. After the war, the Gilligans settled in Cincinnati where Jack attended graduate school and taught at Xavier University. What drew him into politics was Adlai Stevenson’s 1952 presidential campaign, which ignited in Gilligan a belief in politics as public service. His service included a decade on Cincinnati’s city council and his 1964 election to Lyndon Johnson’s “Great Society” congress as the representative for Ohio’s First District. Through these years, Ohio’s Democratic Party was largely conservative. It was dominated by five-time governor and two-term senator Frank Lausche. Gilligan allied himself with labor, minorities, and academics to launch the long shot senatorial campaign that defeated the incumbent in the 1968 Democratic primary. Though Gilligan lost by a narrow margin that November, he emerged as the state’s leading Democrat and its successful 1970 gubernatorial candidate. By the 1970s, Ohio’s ills were manifest. Schools closed for lack of funds; the heavily polluted Cuyahoga River caught fire. Once in office, Gilligan financed improvements by maneuvering the state’s first income taxes through a Republican-controlled legislature. He expanded support for education and mental health, while establishing the Ohio EPA and campaign finance reform. It was a record that prompted talk of a Gilligan presidential run in 1976. Bernstein examines the reasons for Gilligan’s wholly unexpected defeat for reelection in 1974 and shows that afterward, Gilligan steadfastly pursued his commitment to civic engagement by heading the Peace Studies program at the University of Notre Dame, establishing the Civic Forum at the University of Cincinnati and, in 1999, running successfully for Cincinnati school board―at age 78. John J. Gilligan: The Politics of Principle presents a lively and fascinating portrait of a distinctive figure of postwar American liberalism.

It's easy for some people to overlook Columbus, especially when they're not familiar with the Midwest. According to popular Columbus Dispatch columnist Mike Harden, "Columbus is viewed by its bicoastal detractors as a sort of Velveetaville lost in the high corn of one of those flyover states with too many vowels." 
And yet, Harden demonstrates that Columbus is anything but plain and cheesy. This lifelong resident of Central Ohio offers a wry and knowing portrait that shows just how lively this thriving state capital can be. 
Harden looks at the city's heritage of producing entrepreneurs like The Limited's Les Wexner or Wendy's founder Dave Thomas. He examines its support for the arts, its abiding love of the annual state fair, and its fanatic involvement with Ohio State football. Aided by Brooke Wenstrup's collection of outstanding images from some of the area's best photographers, Harden points out that Columbus is truly a "heartland city." 
The result, Harden concludes, is a place where "we have not lost our capacity for awe, our ability to be entertained and intrigued by the simplest of pleasures. We are a great city to call home."

Grand Eccentrics: Turning the Century : Dayton and the Inventing of America

Orange Frazer Pr Inc

As the nineteenth century turned, the small-town America in which Huck Finn fished was yielding to an age of industry, of a remarkable new form of energy, electricity; of a remarkable new toy, the automobile. It was a plastic age, as uncertain as our own, a time when the future was ready to be shaped. Grand Eccentrics is a group biography of a half dozen individuals - Orville and Wilbur Wright; Charles Kettering; John H. Patterson; Arthur Morgan, and James Cox -- who explored those new possibilities. Their lives crossed and recrossed. They collaborated, bankrolled each other's undertakings, founded and joined the same clubs, tried to run each other out of town. And in all of this -- in flight, the automobile, salesmanship and more -- they did much to create the American 20th century, the America that is now yielding to the rise of the electronic technologies and a global marketplace, creating an uncertainty like that to which a century ago, these men gave form.
