Merry Clark Just dropped off three copies of “Dandelion Roots Run Deep!”

Call us or stop in to get your copy!

👩🏼‍🌾☀️🌾

“Dandelion Roots Run Deep" is the true story of three generations of Midwestern women who "nevertheless persisted".

The book focused primarily on Merrill Clark, who fought for organic agriculture and Michigan's environment from 1967 - 2009. Merrill worked on this book for years, but then developed Alzheimer's in 2010 and her daughter Merry finished it for her.

The story traces Merrill's background in Illinois, her marriage to John Clark, and their harrowing cross-country trip before launching their ultimate mission: starting an organic farm in 1980.

Merrill Clark then became a charter member of the National Organic Standards Board in 1992, and she describes the struggles involved In the first efforts to define "organic" on the federal level.

The dandelion analogy works on many levels in this book: the family roots, the roots being part of the solution to climate change, and the roots that connect to other issues that underlie the lived experiences of these three women.

"Dandelion Roots Run Deep" will appeal to lovers of Wendell Berry, Rachel Carson, and Aldo Leopold, environmentalists, women, and anyone dealing with Alzheimer's.”

🟢 Stop by for an in-store book signing with Fritz Horstman and learn about his new book "Interacting with Color"

🟣 Saturday September 21st from 1:00 to 3:00PM

Fritz Horstman

Looking forward to hosting Fritz Horstman next Saturday, Sept 21st.
Join us for his in-store book signing at 1pm!

Join us and upcoming 2025 Tusen Takk resident for a book event and hands-on color experiments celebrating his new book “Interacting with Color: A Practical Guide to Josef Albers’s Color Experiments.”

Sat. Sept 21, 1 - 2:30pm
Horizon Books
243 E Front St, Traverse City

A companion to Josef Albers’s famous “Interaction of Color,” Horstman’s book focuses on eight essential color experiments, inviting readers to learn by doing, using only simple materials. Core instructions for each exercise are enhanced by additional tips, references to Albers’s original text and illustrations, and stories about how Albers presented the ideas in class. The book and exercises are sufficiently nuanced to challenge and inspire seasoned artists, designers, and educators while also being readily accessible to younger readers and
less-experienced practitioners. The author will demonstrate several of the color phenomena in
the book, inviting participants to try for themselves experiments such as color relativity and the
illusion of transparency.

Have you ever been browsing the mezzanine and realized (to your dismay) that the book you seek is on the top shelf?
