Описание: For generations, homeownership has been an avenue to a better life. But discriminatory policies left many people out, and today's trend of rising home prices continues to put housing beyond the reach of significant sectors of the workforce. This is particularly true in America's urban centers, where a shortage of affordable housing is stifling social and economic mobility. We must face this problem with a balance of compassion and competence. The solution will require the efforts of many--including the public sector, private developers, financial institutions, and community leaders--all working together to find creative solutions rather than relying on the policies of the past. In Creating the Urban Dream, Clay Grubb shares the strategic focus of his decades-long career: how to provide good homes for the many people who need them and create dynamic neighborhoods where they can better their lives. Investing in the future through secure, affordable housing will be our country's challenge for many years to come--and a huge opportunity for those who will join in helping to solve it.

Selected by Choice Magazine as an Outstanding Academic Title
Originally published in 1988. In the decades after 1404, traditionally maritime Venice extended its control over much of northern Italy. Citizens of Vicenza, the first city to come under Venetian rule, proclaimed their city firstborn of Venice and a model for the Venetian Republic's dominions on the terraferma.
In Firstborn of Venice James Grubb tests commonplace attributes of the Renaissance state through a rich case study of society and politics in fifteenth-century Vicenza. Looking at relations between Venetian and local governments and at the location of power in Vicentine society, Grubb reveals the structural limitations of Venetian authority and the mechanisms by which local patricians deflected the claims of the capital. Firstborn of Venice explores issues that are political in the broadest sense: legal institutions and administrative practices, fiscal politics, the consolidation of elites, ecclesiastical management, and the contrasting governing ideologies of ruler and subjects.

Описание:
Grubb's comprehensive analysis of his subjects' compelling, if inconspicuous, lives investigates every significant aspect of private experience during the Renaissance: marriage, birth, death, household relations, work, land, social status, and spirituality.
Winner of the Society for Italian Historical Studies's Howard R. Marraro Prize
Originally published in 1996. Historical writing on the Renaissance has usually focused on the social extremes that co-existed in the great metropolitan centers--on either elites or the underclass. As a result, the world of the middling families and provincial societies remains largely unexplored. Daily experiences in the lesser cities are, however, no less rich and revealing than those of Florence, Venice, and Milan. In addition, writes historian James Grubb, these experiences offer new perspectives from which to reassess familiar assumptions about domestic life in the fifteenth century.
Based on memoirs and other records left by thirteen merchant families from the Veneto cities of Verona and Vincenza, Provincial Families of the Renaissance is an engrossing study of daily lives that have until now been overlooked by scholars. Grubb examines the attitudes and experiences of families undistinguished in their modest means and local ambitions from the majority of their compatriots, uncovering a detailed historical landscape rich in social obligations, commercial activities, and religious beliefs.
Grubb's comprehensive analysis of his subjects' compelling, if inconspicuous, lives investigates every significant aspect of private experience during the Renaissance: marriage, birth, death, household relations, work, land, social status, and spirituality. In reconstructing provincial life in the Veneto, Grubb discovers in his subjects an independence of mind that mediated their reception of metropolitan ideologies far more than the historiography of the Renaissance might suggest. These unremarkable provincials were agents of their own destiny, influenced in equal measures by prevailing attitudes, local customs, and personal convictions.
James Grubb is exploring new terrain in this book. Distinguished by its clarity and eloquence, this is a superior work of historical writing and analysis that merits comparison with the best monographs on the social history of Renaissance Italy.--Gene Brucker, University of California at Berkeley

Описание:
In this story, the main character (who is known as the Bumbler) gets left behind. He is noticeably very alone and very scared. But he expands his horizon to find one of the most loveliest and supportive friends he could have ever met-a yellow flower (his singing wonder). Throughout the book, the flower encourages the Bumbler to find love within himself and use that power to succeed, to find happiness. Once he does so, they set off into a world of adventure. Another message that this story revolves around is teaching young kids to think differently, not only see differently. Different, in this story, is a positively uplifting concept. All that happens within these pages are meant to make kids believe in one another and themselves.

Описание:
Trinity Academy, one of the best career schools in the United Planets, is set up with three programs of training-it is one of a kind. But some say the school has forgotten its past and the foundation it was built on. Now, for the first time in many generations, a student from each of the three founding families will enter school at the same time. They do not know each other at first; however, something or someone will draw them together to save the academy. Aurora does not want to go to the Trinity Academy even if they now allow girls in the protector program, but when her dad is kidnaped, her mom sends her there anyway. Not fitting in with the other protectors, Aurora finds a princess and a knight to be friends with. Just like her, they too seem not to fit in earning them the name of the "Odd Ones." Aurora and her friends do not mind the name until strange things start to happen at the academy, and they are blamed for it. After the start of the school year, Aurora is handed a letter from her dad that he was in the middle of writing when he was kidnapped. In the letter, Aurora is told about a secret that is hidden in a labyrinth. Aurora's dad tells her that she needs to find the labyrinth in order to protect the Trinity Academy. Aurora and her new friends, along with their creatures, go out to find what the labyrinth holds. Even if the labyrinth holds the key to saving the academy, the friends will have to navigate both tunnels and portals to find the truth. Aurora and her friends will also have their academic classes to study for as well as withstanding the attacks that threaten everyone on the planet and have left some students brutally wounded.
