• W4205364882 abstract "According toPedaling Revolution, the cul tural shifts,unorthodox political leadership, infrastructure upheaval, dedicated bureau cracy, and tenacious citizenry necessary for a true transportation revolution are taking shape. By the end of thebook, itisobvious that Mapes is arguing for much more than simply bicycles. Rather, Pedaling Revolution calls for a transformation in how we develop and move around our urban spaces. Although he is ostensibly speaking forcycling advocates, Mapes clearlyagreeswith theirviewpointwhen he writes, many cycling advocates gradually get to the point where theywant to revamp the entire road system,not justfigureout how to integratecyclists in the currentone (p. 23). Of course, it would not be a revolutionwith out a fundamental shift in the current order, and revamping the entire road systemwould undoubtedly serve as a revolutionary act. As someone who promotes bicycling,walk ing,transit,and ridesharing fora living, Ifind the book's vision is compelling. To temper Mapes's enthusiasm about the current growth inbicycling,however, itis worth delving deeper into the author's musings on the short-lived bicycle craze in the 1970s. As he theorizes, demographic changes brought the bicycle boom to a screeching halt in the late 1970s, as baby boomers moved from their teenage years to early adulthood and graduated from ten-speeds to automobiles. At the time, few industryinsidersor transportationofficialshad a clearunderstanding of the increase inbicycle sales and interest or itsprecipitous decline. Bicycling and its supporters find themselves in a similar quandary today. Few can argue about bicycling's growing appeal, particularly in dense urban areas where transportation departments have dedicated some portion of the roadway to cycling.But arewe on theverge of a revolution? Perhaps, but itwill be up to the historians to debate that question in the coming years. Scott Cohen Portland, Oregon SAWDUST IN THE WESTERN WOODS byLionelYoust Golden Falls Publishing, Allegany, Oregon, 2009. Photographs, bibliography, index. 102 pages. $21.95 paper. Lionel Youst subtitles his latestbook, A per sonal, pictorial, and primarily oral history of the small sawmill in theDouglas fir region, 1926-1956, which isa precise description. Like the old-time gyppo sawmiller it chronicles, there isnothing fancy or complicated about Sawdust in the Western Woods. The book is composed of a series of interviewsYoust con ducted with his fatherGeorge Youst, interwo venwith commentary and explanation. The advent of the Model T and gasoline and diesel powered sawmills in the 1920sprovided the means for independent owner-operators, such asGeorge Youst, to setup small,portable sawmills with a minimal of capital invest ment. Such gyppo operations proliferated throughout thePacificNorthwest until theend of thepost-war housing boom, when recession and lumber company consolidations curtailed independent logging andmilling. While Youst's commentary on his father's oral history is helpful, placing it in a larger historical contextwould broaden the book's appeal. A bit of analysis on the impacts of technology, for example, would be appropri ated asYoust chronicles his father'ssawmilling career,beginning with horse logging,moving onto steamdonkeys, a FordV-8, finishingwith an all-electric sawmill in 1956. After settingup his small sawmill in south ernWashington, George Youst survived the depression by purchasing 320 acres of timber land and used sawmill equipment at fire sale prices. But by 1937, he had depleted his timber, moved to Coos County, Oregon, and set up another operation, profitingbyWorld War II and the post-war boom. Eventually, George sold off his properties inOregon and pur chased an electricmill innorthern California, but he became financially overextended and Reviews 641 was forced to disassemble themill to avoid bankruptcy. The story of George Youst is similar to those of hundreds of other hardworkingmen who attempted to scrape a livingout of the forestsof thePacificNorthwest as independent entrepreneurs. Like others,George Youst was buffeted by thebooms and busts inherent in an unstable industry.Again, some historical analysis of lumber industryeconomics would be helpful. Sawdust in the Western Woods is also liberallysprinkledwith intriguingperiod photographs of logging and milling in the Coast Range, many from theYoust family album. Unfortunately, most are small and rather grainy. For those specifically interested in gyppo sawmills inOregon andWashington, Sawdust in the Western Woods serves as an important primary source. Likemany local and oral his tories,however, itlacks thecontextand analysis ofmore elaborate works such asHard Times..." @default.
