Nashville

Bringing together a diverse group of nationally renowned authors, this keepsake volume captures the essence of Nashville during an amazing year of its life.

Nashville's year 2000 was the year of the Tennessee Titans' Super Bowl, of Billy Graham's last local crusade, of Al Gore's presidential campaign, and of a city's emergence into the "big time" on many fronts. Nashville: A Year in the Life interprets the dramatic transformation of a city in thoughtful essays and stunning, full-color images from the best photographers now working in Nashville.

The book will be an audit of the civic soul, a time capsule in print, published for readers yet unborn. It will serve as a companion to—and update of—John Egerton's Nashville: The Faces of Two Centuries, published in 1979 as the official bicentennial history of the city.
