Book Description
Like many apartment buildings in Hollywood, the Villa Bonita was built during the film industry's first heyday - the 1920s. Built for the vast crews that Cecil B. DeMille was hiring during his fertile period, the Villa Bonita has housed great Hollywood figures from Errol Flynn to Francis Ford Coppola. In absence of traditionally scaled, walkable neighbourhoods, Los Angeles has long created community within the confines of these kinds of apartment complexes. In a series of photographs, Littky documents the so-called 'ordinary' people who live their now.

Book Description
The pioneer history of Bonita Springs stretches back to the 1880s, when an Alabama cotton planter named B. B. Comer bought 6,000 acres of land along Surveyors Creek. He started a tropical fruit plantation, and his tiny village became known as Survey, in honor of the U.S. Army engineers who had first surveyed the region during the Seminole Wars decades before. When Florida started to boom in the early 20th century, investors bought up much of the land in the area. They quickly gave the community the more attractive moniker Bonita Springs and renamed the nearby creek the Imperial River. Beautiful beaches and world-class hunting and fishing soon turned Bonita Springs into a tourist mecca. Popular roadside attractions sprang up along the fast-growing Tamiami Trail, including the Everglades Wonder Gardens, the original Shell Factory, and the famous Naples-Fort Myers Greyhound Track.

Book Description
Is there a super-crisis? " The problems of the world total something greater than their sum" (Juan Fuentes 1992) THE SYNERMERGENCY, a state of supercriticality, or "synergistic emergency" existing between all crises on Earth, known and unknown. In response to this potential of total global super-crisis, this clarion call to anything but arms is the first to discuss the problems of totally interrelated crises, and sound a call to harmony for the Rainbow Warriors everywhere. Global citizen Juan Fuentes creates a new philosophical system that inspires the twentysomething generation into world-saving global evolution, moving dramatically beyond all previous ideologies and into the cyber age of holistic ecology. A paradigm for the 1990s, and for futurity, this brilliant novel's very positive message of rational understanding succeeds in bridging technology and nature, competition and cooperation, rights, and human responsibilities. Not merely concerned with environmental crises, THE SYNERMERGENCY focuses on eight global problem areas called holons, which include basic survival; economics; politics; education, technology, and nature; religion; spirituality and metaphysics; style, the arts, and aesthetics. ese holons, systems within systems, combine in synergy, building toward the collapse of systems, as people are forced to respond by literally making everything better everywhere for everyone in a total planet-healing process. All things considered, James Pacifico presents a new worldview unlike any suggested before. We are quite fortunate to have THE SYNERMERGENCY, the ultimate in utopian thought. ***** An Ecotopian Philosophical Novel by James Pacifico Because you accept the truth, others shall lie about you and slander your reputation. Because you seek light, others shall keep you in the darkness and hide what little truth they have from you. Because you love life and live love, others shall hate you and try to hurt you. You are Rainbow Warriors. You shall conquer the foe, Babylon, and your children shall solve all the problems of the Earth. You are glorious brothers and sisters in your battle with death and evil. You all shall be victorious!

Book Description
This book examines the agreements and discrepancies between public understanding and assumptions about refugees, and the actual beliefs and practices among the refugees themselves in a time of increasing mobility fuelled by what many call 'refugee crisis’. With a focus on language and literacy practices among recently-arrived Karenni refugee families in the United States, this book explores the multilingual repertoires and accumulated literacies acquired through the course of the refugees' multiple movements. Through the lens of transnationalism, the author emphasizes that despite their numerous struggles, the refugees daily and diligently use and strategize their old, emerging, and evolving linguistic and literacy resources to make the best of their resettlement. This book will shed light on the language and literacy practices among transnational and diasporic communities, minoritized or marginalized groups for researchers in these fields as well as practitioners and resettlement agencies working with refugee populations.
