The Lansing State Journal awardwinning staff of writers and photographers relive the highlights of the Big Ten Conference's undisputed regular-season and postseason champ, its amazing 22-game winning streak, and its colossal rematch with Duke in the Final Four.
Michigan State's run to 2019 NCAA tournament Final Four was the culmination of a season as rigorous as it was memorable. To win the Big Ten title and tournament, coach Tom Izzo's squad had to beat arch rival Michigan three times. To reach the Final Four, they had to defeat top-seeded Duke and its once-in-a-generation superstar Zion Williamson. Packed with expert analysis and stunning action photography from the Detroit Free Press and Lansing State Journal, Green Giants: The Inside Story of Michigan State's 2019 Big Ten Title and Final Four Run takes fans through the Spartans' entire journey, from the three victories over arch rival Michigan, to the unforgettable thriller over nemesis Duke in the Elite Eight, to the high expectations for 2019-20. This commemorative edition also features in-depth profiles of Izzo, Big Ten player of the year Cassius Winston, Matt McQuaid, Kenny Goins, Xavier Tillman, Aaron Henry and more! The prose comes from top writers at the Free Press and the State Journal, including Mitch Albom, Graham Couch, Chris Solari, Shawn Windsor and Jeff Seidel.
In 1915, western farmers mounted one of the most significant challenges to party politics America has seen: the Nonpartisan League, which sought to empower citizens and restrain corporate influence. Before its collapse in the 1920s, the League counted over 250,000 paying members, spread to thirteen states and two Canadian provinces, controlled North Dakota’s state government, and birthed new farmer-labor alliances. Yet today it is all but forgotten, neglected even by scholars. Michael J. Lansing aims to change that. Insurgent Democracy offers a new look at the Nonpartisan League and a new way to understand its rise and fall in the United States and Canada. Lansing argues that, rather than a spasm of populist rage that inevitably burned itself out, the story of the League is in fact an instructive example of how popular movements can create lasting change. Depicting the League as a transnational response to economic inequity, Lansing not only resurrects its story of citizen activism, but also allows us to see its potential to inform contemporary movements.
