Communities rallying in the name of history have become a common phenomenon. Typically, the potential loss of a historic building or site serves as the catalyst. In the case of An Augusta
Scrapbook: Twentieth-Century Memories, a book brought Augustans together in the name of history. The community participation created a historical collage, representing a spectrum of photographic recollections. It is a glimpse at the significant, the uncommon, and the ordinary. The compilation of images, nevertheless, captures Augusta's community fabric.

An Augusta Scrapbook, Georgia: Twentieth Century Memories (Images of America Series)
Looking for an uncritical celebration of urban renewal? Here it is! The author seems to blindly accept the University's claims that buildings it wants to get rid of are "blighted," or that poor people are being kicked out of Hyde Park to decrease crime, or that breaking up a single-family house into multiple units is per se bad.
Okay, I got the book for the pictures. But even the pictures disappoint. They're black and white and details are often hard to discern. And seeing old house after old house, with few notes on architecture, quickly gets boring. The book would have been better to include some of the details that truly give neighborhoods their character, like murals, signs, monuments, businesses, or anything that shows how the land is used, a la Camilo Jose Vergara. And there is very little about the present-day structure of Hyde Park. Not worth reading.
