Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. Detroit City Is the Place to Be is one of Publishers Weekly's Top 10 Best Books of 2012 Once America's capitalist dream town, Detroit is our country's greatest urban failure, having fallen the longest and the farthest--and, finally, into the largest municipal bankruptcy in U.S. history. But the city's worst crisis yet (and that's saying something) has managed to do the unthinkable: turn the end of days into a laboratory for the future. Urban planners, land speculators, neopastoral agriculturalists, and utopian environmentalists--all have been drawn to Detroit's baroquely decaying, nothing-left-to-lose frontier. With an eye for both the darkly absurd and the radically new, Detroit-area native Mark Binelli has chronicled this convergence. Sharp and impassioned, Detroit City Is the Place to Be is alive with the sense of possibility that comes when a city hits rock bottom. Binelli does not shy away from exploring the violence, economic devastation, political corruption, and physical ruin that have ravaged his hometown, but he also offers a glimpse of a long-shot future Detroit that is smaller, less segregated, greener, economically diverse, and better functioning--what could be the boldest reimagining of a postindustrial city in our new century.…

Paperback. Zustand: Good. Mark Anthony Lord, Pastor of the Unity Naples Church, invites us to consider a new commandment for the 21st century: Thou shall not suffer! In Thou Shall Not Suffer: Seven Steps to a Life of Joy, author Lord shows the reader that it's not the circumstances of our lives that causes our suffering, but instead it's how we react to those circumstances that causes us discomfort. Throughout the book, Lord invites us revisit our ideas about God and spirituality, and in the process, enter a world of joy, harmony, and abundance. With passion and clarity, Lord leads the reader away from old patterns of guilt, remorse, and self-judgment, and into a new era of joy and peace.  Lord's seven-step model includes lessons on the importance of forgiveness, surrender, and self acceptance as the cornerstones to living in a continual state of gratitude and joy. Each of the seven steps contain exercises designed to guide the reader to a new way of looking and being in the world. Pastor Lord's personal story is interwoven throughout, and he shows the reader that be practicing the seven steps, they will be able to leave suffering and pain behind forever.&nbsp.…

Hardback. Zustand: Good. Mark Binelli turns his sharp, forceful prose to fiction, in an inventive retelling of the outrageous life of Screamin' Jay Hawkins, a bluesman with one hit and a string of inflammatory guisesHe came on stage in a coffin, carried by pallbearers, drunk enough to climb into his casket every night. Onstage he wore a cape, clamped a bone to his nose, and carried a staff topped with a human skull. Offstage, he insisted he'd been raised by a tribe of Blackfoot Indians, that he'd joined the army at fourteen, that he'd defeated the middleweight boxing champion of Alaska, that he'd fathered seventy-five illegitimate children.The R&B wildman Screamin' Jay Hawkins only had a single hit, the classic I Put a Spell On You, and was often written off as a clownish novelty act -- or worse, an offense to his race -- but his myth-making was legendary. In his second novel, Mark Binelli embraces the man and the legend to create a hilarious, tragic, fantastical portrait of this unlikeliest of protagonists. Hawkins saw his life story as a wild picaresque, and Binelli's novel follows suit, tackling the subject in a dazzling collage-like style.At>Rolling Stone, Binelli has profiled some of the greatest musicians of our time, and this novel deftly plays with the inordinate focus on authenticity in so much music writing about African-Americans. An entire novel built around a musician as deliberately inauthentic as Screamin' Jay Hawkins thus becomes a sort of subversive act, as well as an extremely funny and surprisingly moving one.…
