With more than 200 historic photographs, Moline: City of Mills offers an overview of this dynamic river town located on the southern shore of the mighty Mississippi River. This book helps to celebrate 150 years of Moline's history, beginning with its incorporation in 1848. The city's history is closely tied to the Mississippi River. The name Moline comes from the French word "moulin," meaning "mill." The river, together with some famous entrepreneurs, helped industry flourish in Moline. John Deere and his steel plow turned the city into the "agricultural implement center of the world."
During its lifetime, Moline has experienced steady growth, welcoming a variety of peoples and cultures. Continued commercial prosperity and a bright future are sure to allow for another interesting 150 years for Moline. Found within the pages of this volume, a special birthday gift from three longtime Moline residents, is a look back in time and an up-to-date panorama of people and places.

Moline, Illinois: City of Mills (Images of America Series)
Encyclopedic if a trifle dry -- just about every garden in Kyoto has an entry with all the pertinent information, layout, opening hours, etc. One feature that I did like was that fact that the gardens are grouped by region so that it's easier to put together a tour of several places fairly easily using this book. I would have liked more discussion of the underlying aesthetic -- there's an introductory chapter that lays the groundwork, but it's a little theoretical. I didn't feel I really had an understanding of what I was seeing at times and wished for more guidance in that respect. Perhaps that's an unreasonable expectation, however, given the subtlety of Japanese philosophy/aesthetics and the depth and complexity of historical development.
