Boom Town Blues: Collapse and Revival in a Single-Industry Community tells of the Northern Ontario city of Elliot Lake, once the uranium capital of the world, which was devastated by the closing of the uranium mines operated by Denison and Rio Algom. The closures and mass layoffs were first announced in 1990 with the layoffs occurring from then until June 1996. Throughout the period after the layoffs were announced, several major research projects were undertaken. One, the Elliot Lake Tracking and Adjustment Study, follows approximately 1,000 of the laid-off miners and 530 of their spouses through their adjustment processes. Another, the Seniors Needs Assessment, examines the human resource and service needs of the increasing numbers of seniors moving to Elliot Lake as part of the community's economic strategy. In addition to these social scientific studies, several land and environmental reclamation research projects have been undertaken. Boom Town Blues: Collapse and Revival in a Single-Industry Community tells the reader about the results of these studies and gives a variety of community-based perspectives on the Elliot Lake story. The book highlights the struggles and successes of families and of the community as a whole. Boom Town Blues is about one community's struggle to survive, to shift its economic base from mining to one where retirement living for seniors, mine decommissioning, and a community-based research facility would be among several economic survival strategies. The book is of interest to readers throughout Northern Ontario and, indeed, wherever single-industry towns are threatened by major shifting in their economic base and are struggling to survive. The book also provides an excellent case study for teachers, students, policy makers, and politicians.

Dublin zwischen Boom und Krise: ein Giftmord in besten Kreisen, eine taumelnde Stadt und eine Ermittlerin, die dringend eine Pause braucht. Patsy Logan ist raus ... und mittendrin Patsy Logan, Kommissarin des Münchner LKA, nimmt sich Bildungszeit, so heißt es zumindest offiziell. Inoffiziell sucht sie in Dublin Zuflucht vor privaten Sorgen und beruflichem Ärger: Ihre Ehe kriselt, der unerfüllte Kinderwunsch belastet sie schwer und der verdiente Karrieresprung wird ihr zugunsten eines männlichen Kollegen verwehrt. Doch Patsy will in Irland nicht nur Abstand von ihrem Alltag gewinnen. Sie möchte auch Hinweisen von Menschen nachgehen, die ihren Vater lebend in Dublin gesehen haben wollen. Das ist einigermaßen verwirrend, denn: Patsys Vater ist seit vielen Jahren tot. Als in der österreichischen Botschaft eine junge deutsche Praktikantin mit Blausäure vergiftet wird, ist es mit Patsys Auszeit und ihren privaten Nachforschungen schlagartig vorbei und sie muss zurück zu ihrer alten Stärke finden. Zusammen mit dem irischen Team und dem Kollegen Sam Feuerstein nimmt sie die Ermittlungen auf - und blickt mitten in die hässliche Fratze von Ausbeutung und Kapitalismus. Dublin im Taumel Die Immobilienpreise explodieren im Wirtschaftsboom, der auf die verheerende Finanz- und Wirtschaftskrise der 2000er folgt. Habgier und Gewinnsucht haben die Stadt wie ein Fieber befallen. Sogenannte Vulture Hunters treiben ihr Unwesen: In der Krise billig erworbene Immobilien und Kredite werden nun mit horrenden Zinsen in kürzester Zeit fällig und treiben die betroffenen Schuldner*innen in die Verzweiflung. Gentrifizierung, zerstörte Lebensträume und zerbrochene Familien prägen den Geist einer pulsierenden Stadt, haben so gar nichts mit der nostalgischen Postkarten-Idylle im Reisekatalog gemein. Hier herrscht das Gesetz der Stärkeren, hier öffnet sich die Schere zwischen Arm und Reich immer weiter. Hier entscheiden einige wenige aufstrebende Karrierist*innen auf ihrem Weg nach ganz oben über die Leben derer, die strampelnd versuchen sich über Wasser zu halten ... Ein Kriminalroman, der deinen Gerechtigkeitssinn auf eine harte Probe stellen wird. "Boom Town Blues" ist ein Krimi auf allen Ebenen. Die Mord-Ermittlungen werden von der Öffentlichkeit mit Interesse beobachtet, denn: Der Giftanschlag in der Botschaft war kein persönlich motivierter Mord, es geht um Big Business und um viel Geld. Ellen Dunne eröffnet dir die skrupellose Welt der Vulture Funds und die immer weiter auseinanderdriftenden Realitäten von jenen "ganz oben", der Mittelschicht und Menschen, die zum Leben zu wenig haben. Du fühlst mit den Verlierer*innen des kapitalistischen Systems, aber auch mit jenen, die privat alles opfern für die nächste Stufe auf der Karriereleiter - und dabei täglich einsamer werden. Und du fieberst mit Patsy, deren private Situation sich zuspitzt, als die Vergangenheit plötzlich beängstigend lebendig wird ...

When it comes to black gold in Oil Springs and Petrolia, Jack has seen it all. So, when the opportunity affords itself to share his tale of fortune and fame ... sorry, his role in the mid-1800's discovery of oil in Canada and the subsequent black gold rush in southwestern Ontario, he jumps at the chance. From the trials and tribulations of early efforts to drill for oil, to murder, back room deals, and American forays into the Canadian market, Jack seems to know it all. Or, at the very least, he knows someone who knows someone. And he certainly enjoys the attention... and the odd appreciative gesture of a beverage or two that his storytelling brings. But, Jack’s love for the ladies is second only to his penchant for embellishment, so it’s up to his partner, George, and the gorgeous Winsome to attempt to keep him on the straight and narrow. Sometimes they succeed, and sometimes... well, you’ll have to see for yourself.
