Every visitor who strolls the University of Washington campus exclaims at its beauty. For students, faculty and staff the campus is a daily pleasure, and for alumni a treasured memory. The first edition of The Fountain &amp; the Mountain was created to celebrate the hundredth anniversary of the UW campus in 1995. In 1895, thirty-four years after opening its doors in downtown Seattle (population 200), the University moved to more spacious quarters at its present site. The first building on that forested site, now Denny Hall, remains an important part of the University over a century later. The campus that has evolved around it fulfills the dreams of the University s early pioneers. This edition clearly demonstrates the ongoing vitality of the campus, documenting the completion of buildings and spaces that could only be imagined a few years ago. With over 150 beautiful color and historical images, and a completely updated text, Johnston pays full tribute to the hard work and dedicated talent expended on the campus, but he relishes the role of luck as well, such as the chance parting of the clouds that led to the founding of Rainier Vista, the campus most sacred space. Johnston s affectionate, illuminating, and sometimes irreverent text is illustrated by a rich array of historical and contemporary images Words and images together convey an unmistakable message: this is a campus to be cherished and sustained as it continues its evolution and fulfills its continually expanding destiny.

The story of how Pacific Coast Feather Company became a leader in the international bedding industry spans more than 120 years and four generations of family ownership. Since entering the feather business in Germany in 1884, the Hanauer family has overcome obstacles through perseverance and the unique abilities and goals of each generation. 
Duck and goose feathers were traditionally utilized for manufacturing bedding and furniture in Europe, and the trade remained essentially unchanged for centuries. The Second World War, the outdoorrecreation boom of the 1960s, and the concurrent discovery and embrace of the down comforter beyond northern and central Europe ignited the industry. The sourcing of bedding materials evolved into a global enterprise, while down has become universally recognized as the premium ingredient for comfort. 
Pacific Coast Feather Company not only took advantage of industry change but also instigated new thinking and played a fundamental role in shaping the bedding industry of today. This process was neither easy nor smooth, as each generation of leadership faced significant challenges. The story of how Pacific Coast Feather met these challenges offers insight into how the company evolved by incorporating accident, chance, long-standing continuities, and radical new ideas. 
The Pacific Coast Feather Story contains rare historical images as well as striking black-and-white art photography by award-winning photographer Sue Leland.

This is the history of Alaska s last legacy airline, Alaska Airlines. Aviation-history writer Robert Serling has documented Alaska Airlines unconventional past and titled it Character &amp; Characters in recognition of those who flew the planes and marked the airline s transformation from a single-aircraft bush operator in 1932 to a major U.S. carrier. From Alaska Airlines fabled beginnings serving the far reaches of America s Last Frontier to its present-day network stretching from Barrow to Zihuatanejo and Boston to Honolulu . . . from creative promotions to its historic flights that linked the United States and the Russian Far East . . . from distinctive in-flight services to the first online ticket sales, Character &amp; Characters chronicles the unusual stories and colorful people behind this uncommonly independent airline. Serling s seasoned perspective is based on his authorship of a long list of airline histories, an industry fascination that began not long after the Wright brothers first flight, and his love of a good story. His experience has resulted in a spirited telling of Alaska Airlines history of survival and success over unforgiving geographies in a remarkably competitive business. Character &amp; Characters has a rhythm to it, based not so much on chronology as on Serling s innate sense of how a good story should be told. And like the airline that is the subject of his work, his book is a great aviation saga.
