In 1820, Indiana statesmen gathered to plan a new state capital, to be built on centrally located undeveloped lowland. Historic photographs, placed side-by-side with current-day views of the same locations, provide a visual tour of the beautiful city that began to flourish in the late 18th century. Included are perspectives on historic landmarks as well as modern sites such as Monon Trail and Circle Centre.

Putting archive and contemporary photographs of the same landmark side-by-side, Indianapolis Then and Now®? provides a visual chronicle of the city's pastThe development of Indianapolis has taken more unexpected turns than a driver at its world-famous Speedway. Roaring to life after a rather inauspicious start, Indianapolis became known as the "Crossroads of America" during the early 1900s, with a bustling Union Station train terminal as well as a flourishing literary and artistic scene of nationally renowned poets, painters, and playwrights. Mansions were built along the showplace thoroughfare of North Meridian Street, pharmaceutical and automobile industries employed thousands, and jazz music was played into the night. Teenagers at Shortridge High School produced the nation's first high school daily newspaper, and many went on to become novelists and politicians, including Booth Tarkington and Richard Lugar. The Hoosier capital occasionally veered off track; from the 1950s to the 1970s it was referred to as "Naptown" and "India-NO-place." Indianapolis has picked up speed since the 1990s and is once again a vibrant city, warmly nicknamed "Indy," with a spectacularly rejuvenated downtown. Residents have taken extraordinary care to preserve the best of the past, and have supported the development of new sports stadiums and retail outlets. Indianapolis Then and Now® features historic places such as the Indiana Statehouse, the Soldiers' and Sailors' Monument, Lockerbie Square, and the Federal Building, as well as modern areas of interest such as the Monon Trail and Circle Centre, all showing the mixture of preservation and change in this historic city.

The Only ones among us who will really be happy are those who will have sought and found how to serve," said Nobel Prize laureate, Albert Schweitzer. Self-esteem, happiness as an end in itself, recognition, notoriety, and prosperity theology are themes that sell today. Motivated by such themes, persons have turned inward rather than turning loose, and as a result have become stagnant rather than flowing with life. Francis of Assisi's quote resonates with happiness, "It is in giving that we receive." For a meaningful life try giving yourself away by serving others. Persons desiring such a fulfilling life will find "Servants Not Celebrities" stimulating as well as enjoyable. This book is full of examples and exhortations inspiring excellence. It is motivation full of meaning. The Greek physician Hippocrates described four basic temperament types. For a truly happy life add a fifth: a servant temperament.
