    Discover the lost art of great writing.Since the invention of writing, the written word has fueled humanity's astonishing progress. Thus, the ability to write effectively and beautifully has long been revered and rewarded. Yet, in the digital age, people have begun to believe that this talent is somehow obsolete.

Far from your garden-variety style guide, the principles in this audiobook apply to everyone, whether you're writing an inauguration speech or a letter home to Mom.

    Focusing on Chicago’s West Side, After Redlining illuminates how urban activists were able to change banks’ behavior to support investment in communities that they had once abandoned. 
     
    American banks, to their eternal discredit, long played a key role in disenfranchising nonwhite urbanites and, through redlining, blighting the very city neighborhoods that needed the most investment. Banks long showed little compunction in aiding and abetting blockbusting, discrimination, and outright theft from nonwhites. They denied funds to entire neighborhoods or actively exploited them, to the benefit of suburban whites—an economic white flight to sharpen the pain caused by the demographic one. 
     
    And yet, the dynamic between banks and urban communities was not static, and positive urban development, supported by banks, became possible. In After Redlining, Rebecca K. Marchiel illuminates how, exactly, urban activists were able to change some banks’ behavior to support investment in communities that they had once abandoned. The leading activists arose in an area hit hard by banks’ discriminatory actions and politics: Chicago’s West Side. A multiracial coalition of low- and moderate-income city residents, this Saul Alinsky–inspired group championed urban reinvestment. And amazingly, it worked: their efforts inspired national action, culminating in the federal Home Mortgage Disclosure Act and the Community Reinvestment Act. 
    ​ 
    While the battle for urban equity goes on, After Redlining provides a blueprint of hope.

    A coastal town divided. A community in exile. A fight for justice that shook the Gulf.
     
    The Fishermen and the Dragon is a powerful, real-life thriller that blends civil rights, environmental crime, and cultural collision into one unforgettable narrative. Set in the fishing towns of Texas in the 1970s and 80s, it tells the true story of Vietnamese refugees fleeing war—only to face hostility, racism, and violence from the Ku Klux Klan and petrochemical giants.
     
    But this is more than a story of conflict. It’s a story of courage. Of immigrants and locals uniting against pollution, intimidation, and injustice. Of communities transforming pain into purpose and resistance into renewal.
     
    Through deeply human storytelling and gripping investigative detail, this audiobook explores what happens when ordinary people refuse to stay silent—choosing instead to lead, protect, and rise together.
     
    If you believe that real leadership begins at the grassroots, that legacy is forged in resilience, and that justice is a fight worth waging, this is a story you’ll never forget.
     
    The dragon was real. So were the heroes who faced it.
