Sinopse

Gentrification Impact explores the multifaceted phenomenon of gentrification, examining its economic drivers, displacement effects, and impact on community identity. It highlights how urban change, while often bringing benefits like improved infrastructure, can lead to the displacement of long-term residents, particularly in minority communities facing social inequality. For example, increased property values, while seemingly positive, can drive up housing costs, making it unaffordable for vulnerable populations.

 
The book progresses from a historical overview of gentrification's evolution to an analysis of its economic forces, such as real estate speculation and the influx of high-income residents. It then delves into displacement mechanisms, including rent increases and evictions, before examining the qualitative impact on community cohesion and cultural diversity.

 
The book emphasizes that urban development requires careful consideration to avoid exacerbating social inequality and to promote affordable housing. Ultimately, this study provides a balanced perspective, blending quantitative data with qualitative insights to offer a nuanced understanding of gentrification. It aims to equip policymakers, community organizers, and engaged citizens with the knowledge and tools to address the challenges of gentrification, fostering social equity and sustainable community development.

Monkey to Man - The Evolution of...

Gowan Dawson

The first book to examine the iconic depiction of evolution, the "march of progress," and its role in shaping our understanding of how humans evolved 
 
 
  
We are all familiar with the "march of progress," the representation of evolution that depicts a series of apelike creatures becoming progressively taller and more erect before finally reaching the upright human form. Its emphasis on linear progress has had a decisive impact on public understanding of evolution, yet the image contradicts modern scientific conceptions of evolution as complex and branching. 
 
 
  
This book is the first to examine the origins and history of this ubiquitous and hugely consequential illustration. In a story spanning more than a century, from Victorian Britain to America in the Space Age, Gowan Dawson traces the interconnected histories of the two most important versions of the image: the frontispiece to Thomas Henry Huxley's Evidence as to Man's Place in Nature (1863) and "The Road to Homo Sapiens," a fold-out illustration in the bestselling book Early Man (1965). Dawson explores how the recurring appearances of this image pointed to shifting scientific and public perspectives on human evolution, as well as indicated novel artistic approaches, and advancements in technology.

The Roman Emperor Aurelian -...

John F. White

Aurelian saved the Roman Empire from foreign invasion and collapse, earning him the title Restorer of the World from a grateful Senate. This is his story as restorer of the world. 
 
 
 
The ancient Sibylline prophecies had foretold that the Roman Empire would last for 1000 years. As the time for the expected dissolution approached in the middle of the third century AD, the empire was lapsing into chaos, with seemingly interminable civil wars over the imperial succession. The western empire had seceded under a rebel emperor and the eastern empire was controlled by another usurper. Barbarians took advantage of the anarchy to kill and plunder all over the provinces. Yet within the space of just five years, the general, later emperor Aurelian had expelled all the barbarians from with the Roman frontiers, reunited the entire empire and inaugurated major reforms of the currency, pagan religion, and civil administration. 
 
 
 
His accomplishments have been hailed by classical scholars as those of a superman, yet Aurelian himself remains little known to a wider audience. His achievements enabled the Roman Empire to survive for another two centuries, ensuring a lasting legacy of Roman civilization for the successor European states. Without Aurelian, the Dark Ages would probably have lasted centuries longer. This is a new, revised edition.

The Jesus Clones

Tordín Lyn

Imagine what could happen if a religious zealot possessing wealth, power, and bio-technical genius, came into possession of a thorn from the Crown of Thorns placed upon Jesus’ head at the time of His Crucifixion. Richard Francis Craig had such a thorn and recovered Jesus’s DNA from its fossilized remains. He then joined forces with two progressive members of the Church, Cardinal Giovanni and Bishop Bellarmine, and a biotech wunderkind, Kristjan Evans. They have the technology to read His genetic code, a gift from God given through the Immaculate Conception of Mary and the Virgin Birth of Jesus. Dare they go further? Do they have the courage to use His genetic information to recreate the essence of Jesus, His clone, resurrecting Him to usher in the Second Coming and End of Times, the Final Judgement?Richard Craig made his fortune using his technological genius to found the biopharmaceutical company GenFlux. He was brought up in a strict Christian family by a stern father, a minister in the Redemption Church, and an architect of the God Box. While in the God Box Richard had his vision of Revelation and the Second Coming. The world is in chaos approaching the years of Tribulation and Richard believed God’s desire was for Man to save himself. Did not Mankind discover medical breakthroughs that prevented misery and death? Did Richard not develop medical breakthroughs that cured illness and alleviated suffering? Did Man not harness the power of the atom and the power of DNA, the life force? Richard often felt he was chosen to be a Prophet of the Lord. He knew Mankind possessed the power to control the life force itself, DNA, and thus the life essence of any organism whose DNA sequence Man could acquire. Assisted by Cardinal Giovanni, Bishop Bellarmine, and fellow technological genius Kristjan Evans, Richard Craig formulated his plan to clone Jesus and hasten the Second Coming of Christ, the Final Judgment, and the End of Times.

About Man and God and Law - The...

Stephen Daniel Arnoff

About Man and God and Law is the story of how Bob Dylan sparked a revolution of the spirit and why it matters today. 
 
 
 
Many of our assumptions about empathy, sensual pleasure, and the essence of work, community, country, race, and the divine have germinated in Bob Dylan's need to know what's blowing in the wind and how it feels. Tracing his work and vision through themes that have shaped religious and cultural history for millennia, Stephen Daniel Arnoff uncovers how Bob Dylan has re-enchanted ancient questions of meaning and purpose throughout popular culture, inspiring a pantheon of prophetic musicians along the way. This field guide to Dylan's spiritual wisdom aims to make good on the promise that if we look closely enough at his body of work—precisely at a moment when the world we thought we knew seems like uncharted territory—we can open up our eyes to see not only where we really are, but where we need to go.

The Shocking Truth about...

Zoey Fraisers

Behind the polished image of multinational corporations lies an intricate web of influence that often escapes public scrutiny. These entities, driven by profit motives, exert significant control over political, economic, and social systems. Their ability to shape legislation, influence policy decisions, and dictate the trajectory of societal norms is unparalleled, raising critical questions about the balance of power in modern democracies. 
One of the most potent tools corporations wield is lobbying. What began as a mechanism to convey industry perspectives to lawmakers has evolved into a powerful industry in itself. Corporations spend billions annually to hire lobbying firms, fund political campaigns, and ensure their interests are prioritized in policymaking. This relationship often leads to regulatory environments that favor corporate profits over public welfare, as evidenced by weakened labor protections, diluted environmental standards, and tax policies designed to benefit the wealthiest. 
In addition to lobbying, corporations exert influence through their economic might. With massive revenues that surpass the GDP of some nations, they can dictate terms to governments and international organizations. This financial clout allows them to negotiate favorable trade agreements, secure tax incentives, and sidestep accountability for unethical practices. Governments, often reliant on corporate investment to sustain their economies, find themselves constrained in challenging this power dynamic.
