Climate of Michigan by Stations


Book Description

"The climatological network consists of approximately one station for each 625 square mile area. This network density provides a good representation of the macro or large-scale climate in Michigan. Because the climatic parameters change more rapidly near the Great Lakes, some care must be exercised when applying th edata from a single point to a larger area. The station history provides background about the exposure of the observation site as an aid in evaluating the representativeness of the data to the surrounding terrain. As additional stations accumulate sufficient length of record, these summaries will be developed for future publications...."--Preface.

Detroit's Michigan Central Station


Book Description

In 1913, the Michigan Central Station opened its majestic entrances to the people of Detroit. Designed by Warren & Wetmore and Reed & Stern, the firms also noted as the architects of the Grand Central Station in New York City, the depot was a marvel of grandeur and comfort for the traveler lucky enough to utilize its facilities. Soldiers went to war, families both separated and rejoined, and folks looking for an honest living in the Motor City all walked the Michigan Central's elegant corridors. Since the last train pulled away from the station in 1988, the structure has fallen prey to rapidly paced deterioration. Detroit's Michigan Central Station captures the glory of the Michigan Central and its environs. Using photographs from the Burton Historical Collection, as well as private collections, the book illustrates the use of the Michigan Central Station by a city whose story dramatically parallels that of this magnificent structure. The book also includes imagined futures of the station from some of the many people who have been inspired by the magic this grand building continues to exude.
