Book Description
NATIONAL BESTSELLER • "James and Deborah Fallows have always moved to where history is being made.... They have an excellent sense of where world-shaping events are taking place at any moment" —The New York Times • The basis for the HBO documentary streaming on HBO Max For five years, James and Deborah Fallows have travelled across America in a single-engine prop airplane. Visiting dozens of towns, the America they saw is acutely conscious of its problems—from economic dislocation to the opioid scourge—but it is also crafting solutions, with a practical-minded determination at dramatic odds with the bitter paralysis of national politics. At times of dysfunction on a national level, reform possibilities have often arisen from the local level. The Fallowses describe America in the middle of one of these creative waves. Their view of the country is as complex and contradictory as America itself, but it also reflects the energy, the generosity and compassion, the dreams, and the determination of many who are in the midst of making things better. Our Towns is the story of their journey—and an account of a country busy remaking itself.

Book Description
Beginning on Easter Sunday, March 23, 1913, torrential rains across the Midwest dropped a record three months of rainfall in four days. Floodwaters funneled down Ohio's Miami Valley into the heart of the vibrant industrial city of Dayton. Levees burst, houses were swept away, and downtown was gutted by fires blazing from broken gas mains. At the end of Easter week, nearly 100 Daytonians had perished, and tens of thousands more were left homeless and destitute--a tragedy that made banner headlines in newspapers nationwide. Out of Dayton's ashes and mud rose fierce public resolve never again to suffer such destruction. The Great Dayton Flood of 1913 reproduces some 200 astounding photographs from the collections of the Dayton Metro Library and the Miami Conservancy District and the archives of the National Cash Register Company at Dayton History. They portray the terrifying flood, monumental destruction, heroic rescues, and compassionate leadership that occurred during the disaster and its immediate aftermath, as well as the pioneering flood-control engineering that has kept Dayton safe ever since.

Book Description
People say that if you're born in America, it's as good as winning the lottery. Immigrant girls know this, especially the young ones. They weigh the benefits, calculate the cost, and then set aside their decency and do all the dirty things necessary to secure a man. This is the story of one such girl and the man she meets. He doesn't realize what she wants at the start. He has to discover it, exploring the boundaries of a relationship he doesn't really want, but soon finds he can't turn away from. Is it an addiction? Perhaps. Or maybe it's an ethical challenge he just can't rise high enough to meet. He uses, humiliates, and degrades that sweet little island girl until he makes himself sick with guilt and shame. It's the most fun he's ever had in his life.

Book Description
The Land Across the River tells the story of the first 150 years of history of the West Side of Dayton - from 1799 to just a little past Orville Wright's death in 1948. This book is a little different than what I normally write. There are no chapters, but instead events flow more or less in chronological order. Notes are included at the end of the book that will allow readers to know where they can find more information. A book with ten times as many pages as this one could have been written and would still barely have touched the amazing history of the West Side. Because of this, much of the focus is on the area now known as the West Third Street Historic District, where most of the action took place during the time period this book covers. It tells about the personalities of some of the people who lived there: like the bicycle makers who also built and flew the first practical airplane, the first black poet to garner national acclaim, the patent medicine makers who claimed to cure almost every disease known to man and the publisher who was known to reprint books without regard as to whether it was legal for him to do so. It speaks of the West Side Colony, made up of workers from Hungary and Rumania who were recruited to work at the Dayton Malleable Iron Company. All this, and much more, will be found inside. I hope you are surprised as much as I was at how fascinating the history of the West Side is.
