Communities concentrating on improvement projects might learn a thing or two from the new book “The Will and the Way,” which highlights 40-plus successful public and private projects in Duluth, Minn., since the 1960s. Published by local civic activists Manley Goldfine and Donn Larson, the book describes projects such as the city aquarium, a downtown renewal, an auditorium complex and a municipal ski resort. Each of the book's 43 chapters is written by a person who was involved in the project's planning. Single copies are available for $26.95 by calling (218) 727-0461 or e-mailing vjerome@chartermi.net.
