Summary

Urban Redevelopment examines the intricate process of transforming decaying urban areas into thriving communities through strategic urban renewal and revitalization. It explores the crucial intersection of architecture, urban planning, and political strategies necessary for effective and equitable urban development. The book reveals how architectural design can repurpose existing structures, breathing new life into neglected spaces, while political mechanisms either facilitate or obstruct these efforts.

 
The book highlights the importance of community engagement and sustainable development in overcoming urban blight and fostering economic growth. Examining historical successes and failures in urban renewal, the authors argue for a holistic approach that balances economic considerations with social and environmental impacts. It underscores the necessity of informed political decision-making alongside innovative architectural design.

 
Beginning with the core concepts of urban decay, the book progresses through architectural techniques for adaptive reuse and sustainable construction, analyzing political strategies and culminating in best practices for equitable urban renewal. Through diverse case studies, government reports, and interviews, Urban Redevelopment provides practical guidance for policy makers, community activists, and professionals aiming to create vibrant, sustainable urban environments.

    Lurking Under the Surface -...

    Horror can be a valuable conversation partner for the spiritual questions that animate so many of us. 
 
 
 
Whether through a movie, television show, novel, or even myth, horror as a genre has always spoken to our deepest human fears and anxieties: fear of death, of the unknown, of knowing too much. Whether you're looking at classic narratives like Frankenstein, or contemporary films like Get Out, which explores racism and white guilt, horror provides a window into our culture and what makes us human. The same can be said of religion. 
 
 
 
Horror movie buff and religion scholar Brandon Grafius finds common ground between these two seemingly disparate bedfellows—horror and religion—in Lurking under the Surface. What parallels can we draw between The Walking Dead and sacred texts? How do the stories of Hebrew Christian scriptures and apocalyptic films like A Quiet Place and Bird Box help us find hope when it's in short supply? When we treat them both seriously, we see that horror movies and religion lead us through the same sets of questions. Both explore questions of justice, hope, and our relationship to the world and the cosmos. And both offer us ways to make meaning out of the contradictory pieces of our world—a world filled with so much hope and so many recognizable fears lurking just beneath the surface.

    ‘Book of 19 Nocturnes’ is an inter-genre fantasy. The phantasmagorical tale follows the wandering mind and feet of a woman made of wood, named Book, who befriends other monsters as she navigates a lonely, labyrinthine realm. Set in the forests and mountains of a world where the sun never rises, Book’s story unfolds with a surrealistic, dream-logic. 
Defying easy categorization, this audio-drama is akin to an illuminated manuscript or a grimoire—a magical book. It blends elements of graphic novels, dream diaries, field journals, prose poetry and illustrated fairy tales. Night-owl / artist / author Jim Holyoak wrote and drew the book over 19+ years, often during his perambulations in the wilds of Scandinavia, British Columbia, and the Himalayas. It is best listened to over the course of 19 nights. 
For fans of authors like: William Blake, Haruki Murakami, Ursula K. Le Guin, Tove Jansson, Tim Burton, and Terry Pratchett's radio-dramas. Also available for purchase is a 500-page, fully illustrated, e-book version of 'Book of 19 Nocturnes,' (which is best viewed in colour on an iPad or larger).

    Elton John's Blue Moves

    By 1976, Elton John was the best-selling recording artist and the highest-grossing touring act in the world. With seven #1 albums in a row and a reputation as a riveting piano-pounding performer, the former Reggie Dwight had gone with dazzling speed from the London suburbs to the pinnacles of rock stardom, his songs never leaving the charts, his sold-out shows packed with adoring fans. Then he released Blue Moves, and it all came crashing down.Was the commercially disappointing and poorly reviewed double album to blame? Can one album shoot down a star? No, argues Matthew Restall; Blue Moves is a four-sided masterpiece, as fantastic as Captain Fantastic, as colorful as Goodbye Yellow Brick Road, a showcase for the three elements--piano-playing troubadour, full orchestra, rock band--with which Elton John and his collaborators redirected the evolution of popular music. Instead, both album and career were derailed by a perfect storm of circumstances: Elton’s decisions to stop touring and start his own label; the turbulent shiftings of popular culture in the punk era; the minefield of attitudes toward celebrity and sexuality. The closer we get to Blue Moves, the better we understand the world into which it was born--and vice versa. Might that be true of all albums?
