Every once in a while a story is told that, at least for a moment, changes the way you look at life. Finding Life is that story. It is an ageless and timeless tale of a glorious life destroyed by an unforgivable mistake, and the small miracles that turn the impossible into hope. After buying into the ways of the world, Chance Gordon commits an unspeakable sin - one that destroys the souls of himself and the love of his life. Buried deep in a sinking depression that isolates him from the world, it takes the small miracles of a faithful Grandfather, a desperate friend, and an innocent child to bring hope and an impossible journey to find life in the ashes.

The election and inauguration of Donald J. Trump as the president of the United States of America have provoked an unprecedented intensity of reflection in virtually all academic disciplines. The professions of architecture and planning, faced with the phenomenon of a self-proclaimed "builder-in-chief," have found themselves facing a series of fundamental questions, both old and new. How should we think, teach, and practice under a developer presidency? What sort of walls will we and won't we choose to build? What are our commitments of critical thought, and what obligations should we turn our energies toward?The essays gathered in And Now explore the nature of architecture's many long-standing complicities. Architecture coordinates colossal expenditures (of material, of energy); it scripts forms of labor (in its construction, in its operation, and in the programs it houses); and it is both a repository and generator of capital. Architecture participates, centrally, in defining modes of life, whether for the privileged or the dispossessed¿designing and building the boundaries between the "haves" and the "have-nots." This fundamental reality of architectural practice need not inspire either nihilism or defensiveness but should rather be understood, quite simply, as the terrain we navigate. Naming these complicities and the injustices they perpetuate is a first step toward addressing them.

A History of Falling Things is a gentle love story about a young man and woman forced to confront their fears of the outside world and discover what really matters to their lives.
