In this book, he outlines a sustainable community project that seeks to solve social problems that most community planners overlook. The pilot project includes numerous ways to make communities self-sufficient, and while it's geared for those in middle- and lower-income brackets, anyone can use its concepts. He explains how multiple-purpose buildings can be used to house a diversity of people, ways to launch a business within the community by collaborating and sharing with others, how to obtain a vocational work/study program offered on site, and more. The book is also a reference manual on transition community design, creating a purpose, the meaning of happiness, sustainable agricultural practices, how to live without stuff, and how to reduce anxiety and depression.
Jim Landry was in the music business, to some significant degree, from 1966 until 2012. In Part One, he'll take you through the theory and his earliest lessons on music. In Part Two, he'll stress his experience - instrumental performance, road work and studio session time. He'll describe work done with some of the bands he formed, managed and performed with. We have two subjects from the cusp between theory and instrumental performance involving music production.Book Review: "Musicians are, without exaggeration, essentially brilliant, sometimes bordering genius. Yet, we are at the same time somewhat mad. Not angry "crazy."Landry fills his book with fascinating stories and details about the music industry and his life on the road. He straightforwardly relates behind-the-scenes antics that are par for the course when talented individuals find themselves in a family consisting of rockers. His love and understanding of music are evident, yet he writes in such a way as to bring non-musicians into the fold, if only in their imaginations. Anyone who has ever wondered what life might be like for those talented enough to make a living in the music industry will find this book mesmerizing, as will those who are rock fans in all its various outlets. The author's love and knowledge of music and desire to share with his reading audience are at the heart of this work. His book is almost a song in itself, one of nostalgia brimming with the rhythms and beats of one man's life.book review by Kat KennedyThe US Review of Books
My mother had always wanted me to write, so I did. Anyway, I woke one morning at 4:30 in the morning in 2009 and I couldn't rest again, as it began to flow. I wrote it down as fast as it came. It took about 30 minutes to do the original book and every book after. I dedicate this book to my Father. One of his favorite things to do was to sit in his rocking chair while watching birds from his window. This book is not only enjoyable but also educational for those bird fanatics as well. I believe God gave me these books and my dad gave me the inspiration behind this story. I hope you enjoy them as much as I had writing them!
In a global competition between continued harvesting of fossil fuels and the slower-paced exploitation of renewable energy, which side will win, and how? In a dangerous world of big business, big government, and greedy scoundrels, up against a decades-long march of peaceful activists for renewable energy, who arises as the resolute savior? Book Reviews: "The project is not about renewable energy; it is, instead, as it is named, about advanced energy."Landry doesn't miss a detail of Mack's top-secret work on a team of experts trying to solve the energy problem. The ultimate result is eco-fiction with a streak of activism. Landry generates urgency to act and speak out against those sacrificing the earth to gain profits and power.book review by Michelle JacobsThe US Review of Books
