  What if the answers to our housing crisis weren't locked in government policy or developer margins but already being built, quietly, by communities across the world? 
  In Our Homes, Eco-builder and broadcaster Harrison Gardner explores inspiring, practical responses to the housing crisis - rooted not in a single solution, but in a diversity of approaches. From Cooperative Housing and land trusts to shared equity models and modular design, this book reveals how a patchwork of community-led ideas is already shaping a more hopeful future. 
  Part handbook, part call to action, Our Homes is a concise and accessible guide for anyone seekingto reimagine where and how we live. Because solving the housing crisis won't come from one fix, but from many. And it won't just be about building houses. It will be about building the kind of future we want to come home to.

  The closest you'll ever get to seeing someone actually wear their hearts on their sleeves is in Texas, every fall, at the local high school homecoming game. 
  They're called homecoming mums. They are as bodacious as football, as irresistible as a juicy rumor, and as deep as a momma's love. Over a hundred years ago when the custom began, mum was short for chrysanthemum, a typical corsage that boys gave to girls before taking them to the big football game. But through the decades, mum went from a simple abbreviation to a complicated shorthand for an eye-popping tradition that’s as ingrained in the culture as it is confounding to outsiders. 
  Through her original photography and collection of stories from across and beyond the Lone Star State, Amy J. Schultz takes us deep in the heart of mum country. You’ll meet kids who wear them, parents who buy them, and critics who decry them as just another example of consumerism gone wild. But mostly, you’ll discover that just like every ritual which stands the test of time, someone is keeping the tradition alive. Someone like Mom.

  Black men must understand that religion or their faith is instrumental in their lives, and it affects their decisions and encourages them in times of trouble. Although black men have made economic and educational improvements in the past, there are still problems that make black men today more depressed, stressed, and sad about their current conditions. The stereotypes that all black men are irresponsible, make babies, leave their families behind, and create impediments to success, love, and economic stability, are wrong. Black men have feelings, from the obdurate gang banger to the father who works two jobs to support his family, while the pressure of the world sits on their dreams like an anchor pulling them toward defeat. 
    However, black men are trying to change their lives, and what they do not need, is outside influences obstructing their desire to positively change. Yes, many black men are angry, and many black men are tired of negative and racist misinformation concerning them and their communities. This is the most beloved book on real black men's issues TRYING and DOING positive things to atone and avert from their past mistakes.
