When the men in black arrive to take five brilliant young inventors to an isolated schoolhouse in Dayton, Ohio, they discover they all know the same poem and have all been working on the same invention.
Chronicling the period from the mid-nineteenth century to the early 1900s through striking vintage photographs, Growing Up in Baltimore pays tribute to the enduring courage and spirit of children. In a city that has been, at once, blessed with a rich port and torn apart by war, filled with pristine parks and scarred by the ravages of industrial life, childhood has reflected the ever-changing times and culture in American life. From baseball games and trips to the zoo to schoolyard pals and amusement park rides, children explored the world around them. But the nostalgia and innocence of well-born youth mingled with the harsher realities that many boys and girls knew as their daily lives-laboring in the mills and factories, the haphazard destruction of fires and storms, the segregation of public places, the cold and hunger so keenly felt during the Great Depression.
This hands-on manual makes it possible to reclaim the husband-wife relationship while surviving--and even improving--the frequently tumultuous relationship with a mother-in-law.
Full of resplendent parks and gardens, Baltimore has a long history of embracing local flora and greenery. Through the centuries, Baltimore has been at the forefront of park design, playgrounds, and green spaces, counting the Olmsted brothers among their visionary architects. In fact, the city of Baltimore has been internationally recognized for its development and protection of its green spaces. Baltimore's Historic Parks and Gardens explores the history of those spaces, including the vast and ancient Druid Hill Park, the gorgeous acreage of Cylburn Arboretum, and Mt. Vernon's beautiful floral presentation.

Shady hills, rolling lawns, and gardens in the core of the city: Druid Hill Park lies at the heart of Baltimore, and made history as one of the first public parks in America. One of Frederick Law Olmsted s commissions, it led the way for other estates and green spaces to be deeded as parks that are open to all. Druid Hill s design reflects the tradition of European garden style and it stands as a natural refuge for fun and relaxation amid the urban neighborhoods of Baltimore.
