From an era when it was a "Milwaukee Miracle" to make landfall without losing luggage to a promising future powered by alternative energy, Soul of a Port is steered by that same sense of wonder. And since the port's story is not just one of nuts, bolts and cranes, Dobkin's narrative is also well crewed by the characters who have given the place such a fascinating legacy.

Book Description
My Belief... We are all basic products of our environment, but possibility for changing. I was raised by my grandmother and grew up in a spiritual and compassionate loving environment. We are all spiritual being having a human experience. We live in two worlds, spiritual and natural. We are not able to see the spiritual world with the natural eye. It takes the light and Jesus is the light of the world. When he left earth and ascend into heaven, his spirit was left behind to guide us. (The Believers) His spirit is the light that lives in our heart. As long as you have the light, the enemy can't easily slip upon you. But those that live in darkness, the enemy use them to destroy, rob and kill. How do you defend yourself against an enemy you can't see or be aware of? We walk by faith and not by sight, because of the light. I would like to acknowledge my daughter Dr. Callie Lalugba for her input at the age 15 for some of the poems she wrote, also for the inspiration of my youngest daughter Jennifer Sparks. I pray a blessing to all that read and enjoy my poetry.

Book Description
This publication draws upon the fields of science, economics and business strategy to chart the future of humankind's relationship to the ocean. A healthy ocean provides the basis for a prosperous world, and oceans have been largely ignored as a driver of human well-being until now. Ocean health has been in a serious state of decline for the past 100 years from a range of pressures including human population growth, energy consumption and use of natural resources. Humanity will exceed the resources and environmental conditions necessary to exist, within the next century if nothing changes. Solutions to these challenges lie not only in traditional resource conservation management, but in new fields of technology, governance and innovation.

Book Description
Since the 1980s, Taiwan has gained a global reputation for the quality of its manufacturing, at the beginning mostly of simple products such as umbrellas, bicycles and shoes. These successes laid the foundation for the “Made in Taiwan” era. Today, as the technology sector has surpassed traditional manufacturing, Taiwanese companies like TSMC, Acer and Foxconn have become international household names. Taiwan’s transition from an OEM kingdom to “Innovative Taiwan” has been driven by technological genius, an impressive track record in pandemic management, and its status as the first East Asian country to legalize same-sex marriage. In the post-pandemic era, Taiwan has also become a trending destination on popular travel platforms such as Expedia and Airbnb. This newfound visibility is testament to the collective efforts of Taiwanese people. This magazine aims to introduce readers to some of Taiwan's top urban and rural areas, and highlight the endeavors of passionate individuals contributing to local innovation. Featured efforts include Stroll & Experience Western Keelung, Kings of Exploring Takao, Chill Wanhua and The Town’s Daykeeper, all of which are dedicated to urban cultural development and focus on in-depth city tours. Other regional brands include the Luko Changhua Travel Library and Kinmen Time Travel, both of which promote local heritage and traditions. Additionally, there’s the Arriving in Miaoli, A Cultural Ramble, where young people have returned to preserve and revitalize traditional three-sided courtyard houses (sanheyuan). The magazine also covers initiatives like the BINBIN Ecotourism Alliance and Mountain Valley Forest, both of which advocate for sustainable tourism, as well as 100% Happiness Play with Nature and Purple Homeland of Happiness-Hua Xian Xin Fu, which focus on eco-friendly agriculture and conservation. “Made in Taiwan” once laid the foundation for Taiwan’s economic prosperity. Now, “Innovative Taiwan” is not only preserving the country's economic strength, but also creating its own core values, lifestyles, urban stories and democratic spirit—it is writing a history of its own. Thank you for picking up this magazine. I sincerely welcome you to Taiwan!

Book Description
Site of the world's busiest and most lucrative harbor throughout the first half of the twentieth century, the Port of New York was also the historic preserve of Irish American gangsters, politicians, longshoremen's union leaders, and powerful Roman Catholic pastors. This is the demimonde depicted to stunning effect in Elia Kazan's On the Waterfront (1954) and into which James T. Fisher takes readers in this remarkable and engaging historical account of the classic film's backstory. Fisher introduces readers to the real "Father Pete Barry" featured in On the Waterfront, John M. "Pete" Corridan, a crusading priest committed to winning union democracy and social justice for the port's dockworkers and their families. A Jesuit labor school instructor, not a parish priest, Corridan was on but not of Manhattan's West Side Irish waterfront. His ferocious advocacy was resisted by the very men he sought to rescue from the violence and criminality that rendered the port "a jungle, an outlaw frontier," in the words of investigative reporter Malcolm Johnson. Driven off the waterfront, Corridan forged creative and spiritual alliances with men like Johnson and Budd Schulberg, the screenwriter who worked with Corridan for five years to turn Johnson's Pulitzer Prize-winning 1948 newspaper exposé into a movie. Fisher's detailed account of the waterfront priest's central role in the film's creation challenges standard views of the film as a post facto justification for Kazan and Schulberg's testimony as ex-communists before the House Committee on Un-American Activities. On the Irish Waterfront is also a detailed social history of the New York/New Jersey waterfront, from the rise of Irish American entrepreneurs and political bosses during the World War I era to the mid-1950s, when the emergence of a revolutionary new mode of cargo-shipping signaled a radical reorganization of the port. This book explores the conflicts experienced and accommodations made by an insular Irish-Catholic community forced to adapt its economic, political, and religious lives to powerful forces of change both local and global in scope.
