"Lincoln said that, at fifty, a man gets the face he deserves. Whether Ohio, on reaching her 200th birthday as a state, has the face she deserves is another question." Thus muses award-winning nature writer John Fleischman in his opening of THE OHIO LANDS. Ian Adams’ pictorial answer in 150 color photographs is an unequivocal yes. Adams portrays a subject that is ever young yet ever changing in her ageless beauty across the seasons and years.

One-third of our nation's population lives in poverty. The Poverty Wall is an angry book about this third of Canada's citizens; it is an indictment of the stupidity, brutality, and in- humanity of the affluent classes and the governments and corporations they control. For years the forgotten citizens of this country, the poor of Canada are finally receiving the attention they deserve. But how much is going to be done and how fast as long as decisions^are made by people who know nothing of what it is to be poor? In this controversial book, Ian Adams vividly depicts the demeaning, Dickensian world that the affluent classes have forced upon the poor amid hollow proclamations of a "Just Society." The Poverty Wall is an indignant, biased book- but it admits its biases and sets out to defend them with a wealth of statistics and a moving portrait of the Canadians trapped behind The Poverty Wall. Born in Africa and raised in Great Britain and Pakistan as well as Canada, Ian Adams had seen more of the world when he went into journalism than most journalists see in a life- time. One of Canada's "rising young journalists, " he is a former staff writer for both Maclean's Magazine and Weekend Magazine, and his free-lance writing has appeared in every major Canadian magazine.

<p>Photographers Ian Adams and Jim Roetzel have been exploring the Cuyahoga Valley through the lens for more than a quarter of a century, and offer this book as a celebration of the natural and historical wonders of this precious green space between Akron and Cleveland, Ohio. For those who know the area well we hope the book will evoke memories of pleasant times spent in the Cuyahoga Valley, and perhaps reveal a few new ones as well. For those who have not visited the national park we hope that the book will open their eyes to the beauty, history, solitude, and recreational opportunities offered by this northeast Ohio treasure.</p>
