Synopsis

"Chicago Stories" explores how a humble outpost became a globally influential metropolis, focusing on its architectural innovation, pivotal historical moments, and cultural impact. The book argues that Chicago's identity is defined by innovation, resilience, and the relentless ambition of its people, highlighting its constant reinvention shaped by adversity and visionaries.

 
Chicago's pioneering role in skyscraper design and modern urban planning transformed urban environments worldwide, as the city became a laboratory for architectural experimentation after the Great Chicago Fire.

 
The book examines Chicago's rich history and vibrant cultural heritage, from the rise of organized crime during Prohibition to its profound contributions to jazz and blues music. Drawing on historical documents, architectural plans, and firsthand accounts, it offers a comprehensive view of Chicago's social and economic realities.

 
Progressing chronologically and thematically, the book explores the impact of the Great Chicago Fire, the "Chicago School" of architecture, and the city's cultural influence, concluding with an assessment of Chicago's current standing as a global metropolis.

    If the question is "How do you raise anti-ableist kids?" the answer is "Become anti-ableist and then model it through intention and action for your children."
    
    Parents want to be inclusive of their disabled and neurodivergent neighbors and want to pass these values along to their children. What holds them back is not having the education or experience on how to appropriately do this. Beyond Inclusion breaks down fifteen common forms of ableism, with explanations, examples, and first-person accounts. Doing better starts with knowledge.
    
    
    Author Carrie Cherney Hahn offers activities and perspectives that help parents understand the ableism that exists within them and supports their ability to process and dismantle it so that they can model anti-ableist practices for their kids. Each chapter offers children's resources that parents can use to nurture informed and anti-ableist ideals in their kids.
    
    Inclusion is actually the bare minimum. Our work is to show our children how to become more understanding, more accepting, and more appreciative of disabled and neurodivergent people.
