Book excerpt: A look at the field of architecture written by an outsider who demystifies the mechanics of fame and fortune. The popular view of architecture focuses on individual creative geniuses, those who have designed the most "significant" works. According to Garry Stevens, however, successful architects owe their success not so much to genius as to social background and a host of other factors that have very little to do with native talent. To concentrate only on the profession of architecture is to ignore the much larger field of architecture, which structures the entire social universe of the architect and of which architects are only one part. This book critically surveys that field, exposing many myths and debunking a number of heroes in the process. Using the conceptual apparatus of French sociologist Pierre Bourdieu, Stevens describes the field of architecture on two levels. First, he provides a detailed account of the field as it is at any given point in time, describing the different components and their relationships. Second, he analyzes the dynamics of the field through time, from the Renaissance to the present. He discusses the system of architectural education, as well as everyday aspects such as the competition for reputation. He concludes that throughout history, the most eminent architects have been connected to each other by master-pupil and collegiate relations. These networks, which still exist, provide a mechanism for architectural influence that runs parallel to that of the university-based schools.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Koofi's New York Times bestseller, The Favored Daughter, is the true and inspiring story of how one Afghani woman overcame poverty and prejudice to become the first female speaker of the Afghani Parliament and a leading contender for president. The nineteenth daughter of a local village leader in rural Afghanistan, Fawzia Koofi was left to die in the sun after birth by her mother. But she survived, and perseverance in the face of extreme hardship has defined her life ever since. Despite the abuse of her family, the exploitative Russian and Taliban regimes, the murders of her father, brother, and husband, and numerous attempts on her life, she rose to become the first Afghani woman Parliament speaker. Here, she shares her amazing story, punctuated by a series of poignant letters she wrote to her two daughters before each political trip—letters describing the future and freedoms she dreamed of for them and for all the women of Afghanistan.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From The New York Times bestselling author of The Last Wife of Henry VIII comes a powerful and moving novel about Jane Seymour, third wife of Henry VIII, who married him only days after the execution of Anne Boleyn and ultimately lost her own life in giving him the son he badly needed to guarantee the Tudor succession Born into an ambitious noble family, young Jane Seymour is sent to Court as a Maid of Honor to Catherine of Aragon, Henry VIII's aging queen. She is devoted to her mistress and watches with empathy as the calculating Anne Boleyn contrives to supplant her as queen. Anne's single-minded intriguing threatens all who stand in her way; she does not hesitate to arrange the murder of a woman who knows a secret so dark that, if revealed, would make it impossible for the king to marry Anne. Once Anne becomes queen, no one at court is safe, and Jane herself becomes the victim of Anne's venomous rage when she suspects Jane has become the object of the king's lust. Henry, fearing that Anne's inability to give him a son is a sign of divine wrath, asks Jane to become his next queen. Deeply reluctant to embark on such a dangerous course, Jane must choose between her heart and her loyalty to the king. Acclaimed biographer and bestselling novelist Carolly Erickson weaves another of her irresistible historical entertainments about the queen who finally gave Henry VIII his longed for heir, set against the excitement and danger of the Tudor Court.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As a linchpin of global capitalism, the World Trade Organization is both revered and reviled. In this book, financial journalist Paul Blustein tells the surprisingly entertaining and compelling story of how the WTO is sliding into dysfunctionality -- which poses a new and grave menace to globalization itself. In more than seven years of global talks the WTO has struggled and failed to resolve contentious differences between rich and developing nations. Now, with a worldwide recession underway, the WTO's failure is contributing to a rise in protectionism -- a sign that the world may not be so flat after all. Misadventures of the Most Favored Nations recounts, in vivid detail, how the highstakes negotiations went awry. At risk, Blustein argues, is the fate of the system that for six decades has opened the global economy and kept it from splintering.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When an angel appears and tells her that she is, out of wedlock, to become the mother of the Son of the divine Adonai, Miryam, a young woman in the backwaters of the Roman Empire, believes she must give up her betrothed to obey God. To her surprise, her betrothed marries her and raises the promised child, Yeshua, as his own. As an adult, Yeshua gives up the family carpentry business to start fulfilling his destiny as Messiah, but his half brothers resent him. Torn between the children from her husband and the child from God, Miryam finally becomes one of Yeshua's unconventional female disciples, a talmidah. After hearing many parables and witnessing supernatural acts, Miryam is more convinced than ever that her son is the Messiah and that Adonai will not let his Messiah die. It is with consternation, then, that she hears members of Yeshua's special Twelve speaking with confusion about how he keeps saying he must be killed. The Pesach festival approaches, and Yeshua and all his followers return to Yerushalayim, the people's holy city. Yeshua enters the city with great fanfare, riding on a donkey, and Miryam hopes her misgivings are false, but by the end of the festival, Yeshua is hanging from a cross. Miryam alternates between grief and rage after watching her firstborn son die at the hands of such brutality. Yet days later, MIryam and the other women disciples are met by an angel who tells them Yeshua is alive. A gloriously confusing but joyous day ensues as Yeshua's followers encounter their resurrected Lord. Miryam returns to her other children to tell them the news, though she doesn't expect them to believe it. However, the ice between the brothers seems to be melting. By the time of the next festival, the followers, now including Yeshua's brothers, return to Yerushalayim. Yeshua, on the other hand, returns to his Father, but not before mysteriously telling his loved ones to wait for his Spirit to come to them in Yerushalayim. More willing to trust his baffling utterances than before, Miryam and the others do wait as instructed, and the Spirit does descend to them. It is as they are speaking in languages they have never learned before that Miryam has a new epiphany: in the beginning, she and she alone was asked to bear the Messiah. Now all of his people will bear the Messiah, as well, throughout the world.

Book excerpt: Is it possible to escape polygamy? Find true love? Well-behaved women don't ask these questions. Not in my world. My name is Elizabeth Hyde. Actually, no. It's Grant. In the real world, I'm Elizabeth Grant. My husband's name is Hyde, and he has three other wives. No one can know that. Obviously. In the strict religious community I was born into, women have clearly defined roles. They're homemakers and caregivers. They rear children. But I don't have any children, which means I have something of a ticket to the outside. Big families need money, and it's time for me to get a job. And I'm loving this job. Being a medical assistant might not sound impressive to most people, but it's a lot more exciting than making dinner for a family of twenty. I have to admit, the job isn't the only thing that excites me. Lately, I've been getting close to Evan Adgate, the doctor who runs the medical center. He's my opposite in every way: funny, smart, wealthy, educated. It's no wonder the man turns heads. Heaven help me, he turns mine. But Evan and I can never be together. We can never be anything. No matter how many talks or dinners we have, my secrets will always be a barrier between us. It's better if we keep things professional. Now I just have to keep telling myself that.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Successful home ownership requires the availability of appropriate mortgage products. In the years leading up to the collapse of the housing market, home buyers frequently accepted mortgages that were not only wrong for them but catastrophic for the economy as a whole. When the housing market bubble burst, so did a cornerstone of the American dream for many families. Restoring the promise of this dream requires an unflinching inspection of lending institutions and the right tools to repair the structures that support solid home purchases. The American Mortgage System: Crisis and Reform focuses on the causes of the housing market collapse and proposes solutions to prevent another rash of foreclosures. Edited by two leaders in the field of real estate and finance, Susan M. Wachter and Marvin M. Smith, The American Mortgage System examines key elements of the mortgage meltdown. The volume's contributors address the influence of the Community Reinvestment Act, which is often blamed for the crisis. They uncover how the government-sponsored enterprises Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac invested outside the housing market with disastrous results. They present surprising information about low-income borrowers and the strengths of local banks. This collection of thoughtful studies includes extensive analysis of loan practices and the creation of unstable mortgage securities, presenting data largely unavailable until now. More than a critique, The American Mortgage System offers solutions to the problems facing the future of American home ownership, including identifying asset price bubbles, calculating risk, and preventing discrimination in lending. Measured yet timely and by turns provocative, The American Mortgage System provides a careful assessment of a troubled but indispensable part of the economic and social structure of the United States. This book is a sound investment for economists, urban planners, and all who shape public policy.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Child of God, you are going to love this book! You’ll find yourself nodding, underlining, and shouting ‘Amen!’ all the way through. How to Be Blessed and Highly Favored is full of God’s unchanging truth and Michelle’s real-world wisdom, wrapped around the story of one of the ‘good girls’ of the Bible: Mary, the mother of Jesus. Trust me…you will be blessed!” –Liz Curtis Higgs, best-selling author of Bad Girls of the Bible Prepare to crawl into God’s lap and experience His highest blessings as your own. A popular phrase often heard after inquiring about someone’s welfare is the enthusiastic response, “Blessed and highly favored!” Yet many of us–even those who use this expression readily–don’t really lead a lifestyle that reflects God’s blessings. It’s not that such blessings aren’t ours to receive; the Bible clearly teaches that it is the Father’ s perfect will to give us the kingdom. The problem is that we don’t know how to fully access His generous gifts. What does God require of those He chooses to use and bless? Join Michelle McKinney Hammond as she takes a fresh, spirited look at Mary, the mother of Jesus, and shows us how to: • appeal to God’s heart • remain sensitive to His voice • believe Him for the impossible • submit to and rest in His plan • live before Him with a servant’s heart Get Ready to Receive God’s Extra-Dimensional Blessings!
