Have you heard much about the Vietnam War? Do you know someone who fought in it? In this book, we will take a closer look at this war that got the whole world’s attention. We will find why there was so much confusion and even disagreement among the troops fighting in the war. We will look at what led up to the actual war. Then we will learn about why the war happened. Although the war was really a civil war between the Vietnamese people, it ended up involving soldiers and civilians from China, the Soviet Union, the United States, Laos, and Cambodia. Why did so many people end up fighting? As we will see in this book, each country had its own motive and its own reasons to get involved.

Our story begins leading up to the Easter Rising in Ireland. Seamus O' Suileabhain, having Americanized his name to James Sullivan, escapes to America with an English bounty on his head. Aided and mentored by Anegus O'Boyle, a master of disguise and the most feared man in Ireland and the British Isles. James takes up a life of crime, under the protection of the O' Boyles, who are shielded by politicians at the highest level, including in Center City, Philadelphia. Marriage to Bridget O'Boyle leads to raising a familly in the Irish section of North Philadelphia, known as Swampoodle, where James works for his "American Sponser," Liam Donnelly. And under the guise of a construction foreman, James emerges as one of the most brutal and effective enforcers of the underworld in Philadelphia and Atlantic City. Our novel then focuses on a power shift during the beginning of what would be the boon of Prohibition. This saga plays out with the understanding of James Sullivan's eventual return to Ireland, to settle a personal score with the English Captain, known as, "The Lion". A story of assimilation, crime, loyalty, and the power of an unshakable bond between husband and wife, James and Bridget Sullivan...

“Swampoodle” was a Philadelphia neighborhood where many Irish immigrants settled in the early twentieth century, among them Martin G. McGuinn’s grandparents. McGuinn’s story is very much that of the fulfillment of the American Dream, a proud Irish-American’s story of rising from these modest beginnings to eventually become CEO of one of America’s leading financial institutions. Born in 1942, McGuinn grew up in Princeton, New Jersey , graduated from Villanova’s college and law school, served in the Marine Corps in Viet Nam, and practiced law on Wall Street before joining Mellon Bank in Pittsburgh. He spent 25 years there rising to CEO. This is the story about how he got there, the challenges along the way, and successes and disappointments. It’s a story about how hard work and good fortune can produce success in the corporate world, in an industry and a community that provides a lesson that will resonate with many. It is also a lesson in “giving back,” sharing his good fortune with others through philanthropy and commitment to community.

This paradigm-breaking book dares to rethink the whole of the '60s experience, not from a political or sociological viewpoint but from an historical/theological perspective. Camille Paglia wrote that 'the spiritual history of the sixties has yet to be written.' This is that book. The book's chapters each correspond to a line in Emily Dickinson's poem 'Finding is the first act.' The parallel to Dickinson's experience in the psychic wilderness demonstrates just how much the experience of the '60s was part of an ongoing American story not an aberration. Though it seems contradictory, this book argues for an appreciation of the three '60s: 1960s, 1860s, 1660s, each a chapter of the religious core of the American story.

Gentrification is reshaping cities worldwide, resulting in seductive spaces and exclusive communities that aspire to innovation, creativity, sustainability, and technological sophistication. Gentrification is also contributing to growing social-spatial division and urban inequality and precarity. In a time of escalating housing crisis, unaffordable cities, and racial tension, scholars speak of eco-gentrification, techno-gentrification, super-gentrification, and planetary-gentrification to describe the different forms and scales of involuntary displacement occurring in vulnerable communities in response to current patterns of development and the hype-driven discourses of the creative city, smart city, millennial city, and sustainable city. In this context, how do contemporary creative practices in art, architecture, and related fields help to produce or resist gentrification? What does gentrification look and feel like in specific sites and communities around the globe, and how is that appearance or feeling implicated in promoting stylized renewal to a privileged public? In what ways do the aesthetics of gentrification express contested conditions of migration and mobility? Addressing these questions, this book examines the relationship between aesthetics and gentrification in contemporary cities from multiple, comparative, global, and transnational perspectives.
