Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A startling look at the power and perspectives of city building inspectors as they navigate unequal housing landscapes. Though we rarely see them at work, building inspectors have the power to significantly shape our lives through their discretionary decisions. The building inspectors of Chicago are at the heart of sociologist Robin Bartram’s analysis of how individuals impact—or attempt to impact—housing inequality. In Stacked Decks, she reveals surprising patterns in the judgment calls inspectors make when deciding whom to cite for building code violations. These predominantly white, male inspectors largely recognize that they work within an unequal housing landscape that systematically disadvantages poor people and people of color through redlining, property taxes, and city spending that favor wealthy neighborhoods. Stacked Decks illustrates the uphill battle inspectors face when trying to change a housing system that works against those with the fewest resources.

Book excerpt: Written by the holder of several Guinness World Records for cardstacking, this is the first complete, fully illustrated guide to the art of building mind-boggling, multilevel structures with ordinary playing cards. In Stacking the Deck, Bryan Berg reveals the secret to successful cardstacking with his simple four-card-cell structure and expanded grid techniques. Using illustrations and step-by-step instructions, he guides readers on to more elaborate -- and incredibly strong -- creations. He covers a wide range of architectural styles, from classic to whimsical, and various types of structures, including pyramids, shrines, stadiums, churches, an oil derrick, and even the Empire State Building. Since first setting the height record in 1992, Bryan's built awe-inspiring card models of a Japanese shrine, the Iowa State Capitol building, Ebbets Field, and his latest tower, which is more than twenty-five feet tall! This book includes photographs of some of these amazing pieces, illustrating just how appealing and enduring a "house of cards" can be. Stacking the Deck will inspire everyone from youngsters experimenting with their first deck of cards to adults, who can create their own private skyscrapers. Once you've read Stacking the Deck, you'll never look at a deck of cards the same way again.

Book excerpt: Not all girls need a hero. But do all heroes need a damsel? Evelyn "Smalls" Kincaid is the first of a brand new generation of fighters. Being the oldest in the family has never weighed on her in the past. In fact, blazing trails and trying new and daring things is what she lives for.For every wild adventure Evie goes on, for every broken rule and stretched law, her best friend, Benny "Sasquatch" Conner, studiously follows close behind, cleaning up the mess that would otherwise end with a rap sheet or loss of life. Ben would never allow such an end for the girl he's loved since the moment she flattened him in her family's gym. For a decade, the pair who are equally matched inside the octagon and out, have enjoyed a friendship of explosive highs, and icy lows...The operative word, and the biggest tragedy of them all, is 'FRIENDship'. That dreaded zone every man fears, and every woman loathes. Once children, then teens, now young adults on the cusp of new and exciting adventures, feelings change, hormones rage, and finally , Ben takes a freakin' hint and kisses Evie back. From enemies, to best friends, to lovers, "Wildcard" is a story of bravery, lost innocence, and the deepest kinds of love. It's a story of forgiveness, distance, desperation, and trust. From the author of the best selling Rollin On Series , comes this beautiful coming of age story that proves that if it's meant to be, it'll be. And if not... then maybe Evie's true love is waiting in a different gym, and his name might not be Ben Conner.
