I see the images when I hover, too...

I'm glad you posted this--what a great idea!!

(You really should investigate this with amanto and sps, with as much referral business as they're getting from us--all you'd have to do is let them search the forums for their links and they'd see all the proof they'd need...)

Contested Waters: A Social History of Swimming Pools in America

A compelling read that surveys the sociology of public swimming in the United States, and notably captures the reasons behind the advent of racial segregation in aquatic facilities, and its demise. It's an academic book, yet written without obscurant language (in other words, it's easy to read!)

The book has a regional bias (as I recall -- I read the book several years ago, there is no or scant discussion of west coast facilities, including the famous Sutro baths in San Francisco) but it’s a great addition to pool libraries replete with coffee table monographs and little else of substance.

Ben,
Why not sticky this thread?

[Watermom]

Evan,
I had the same thought. Done.

Stick-ing it puts it at the top of the list, but doesn't make it display first when someone is browsing the forums from a higher level.

Anyhow, I need a keyboard -- this one has keys that are 'sticking' and the V and M are incognito -- and this link will let me try things out. Supposed to be a good cheap keyboard (USB) if you need one, too.

That's why we'll keep bumping it back up to the top like we do on a couple other important threads.
