Dar Williams
For the past three decades, dar williams has cris-crossed this country as a touring musician. Those travels inspired her songs and now her memoir, "What I Learned in A Thousand Towns."
in her book, Williams muses on why some towns flourish while others fail, examining elements from the significance of history and nature to the uniting power of public spaces and food. Drawing on her own travels and the work of urban theorists, Williams offers real solutions to rebuild declining communities.
