Book Description
Our Lot tells how an entire nation got swept up in real estate mania, and it casts the business story--the collapse of the subprime empire and the global impact it had on the economy--as part of a project of social engineering beginning in the 1930s by the U.S. government to make homeownership available to those who had never been able to attain it before. Based on original reporting, Our Lot does not dwell on the foibles of executives. It looks at the boom as experienced by ordinary Americans, and examines how our own economic anxieties and realities helped fuel the real estate bubble. Conveyed in accessible language and through narrative reporting, the book looks to help homeowners and would-be homeowners understand what really happened, how it has affected our homes and communities, and how we can move on into a future we'll want to live in.

Heart of War
Author: Hal Weidner
Publisher: iUniverse
ISBN: 0595459919
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 504
Book Description
Captain Parker declares war on a politically powerful traitor to England. Immediately, Parker becomes a marked man. All hell is visited upon him, but Parker has been fighting battles since he was seven years old and is not easily daunted. To survive, he fights one brutal battle after another, descending into war's inexpressible darkness. The author of this well-crafted thriller stages his war from a perspective that sheds light on our post 9/11 experiences. We observe the overextended British Empire fighting two wars amidst the corruption resulting from war's confusion and excess. This is an 18th century sea story. It is, however, more than just a sea story-in the way that Heart of War is more than a steamer trip into the Congo. For its brilliance and its honesty, it will win a place in the reader's heart. "Hal Weidner has emerged to write a spectacular yarn in the tradition of Patrick O'Brian's Master and Commander. Weidner's imagination creates a hair-raising thriller that will keep you rooted to your easy chair with the doors locked. Weidner's twists, turns and subplots keep us guessing by pitting good and evil against an uneasy grey. I could not put this book down." -Robert Sain, psychiatrist and author. "In Hal Weidner's novel, the beauty and strangeness of the past and of the sea are evoked in spare and lovely prose. This novel brings to life a fully imagined reality in all its splendor. Heart of War is suspenseful and languorous, sparse and lyrical, by a novelist fully capable of transporting the reader skillfully to its world." -Laura Kasischke, Internationally renowned poet and novelist. "Hal Weidner's vivid depiction of warfare, intrigue, treachery, and heroism among British, American and French factions during the 18th Century mirrors eerily the tensions that we see and imagine shaping the world today." -Tom Zimmerman. Editor, The Huron River Review.

Corruption in Low Places
Author: John Walter Black
Publisher: iUniverse
ISBN: 1450209009
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 222
Book Description
The old Western town of Greenwood is the last place to expect trouble. Corruption is the sort of mess only found in the national government or in big cities. In a corner of the world where everyone knows everyone else, families live and do business in peace. But when one honest, successful entrepreneur tries to expand his endeavors, he collides head-on with a malignant political machine designed for its own profit, draining wealth from the innocent, unsuspecting city like a leech. It has his fellow businessmen trapped, paying through the nose just to keep the corrupt officials appeased, while their community crumbles under a crooked police force. The rest of his friends are running scared, but his stubborn sense of justice will not let him back down. Time will tell if that stubbornness will save the city, or ruin him and his family.
