Building Communities: The Co-Operative Way; first published in 1988; sets the flourishing of housing co-operatives throughout the 1980s in a theoretical and historical framework that suggests that tenant control is the best way out of the still-problematic issue of housing policy.Before the First World War; co-operative housing was poised to become a potent force in government policy; but instead municipal housing rose to prominence. However; alongside a growing crisis of confidence in state housing and a continued decline in the private rented sector; a new political consensus has emerged that has placed co-ops firmly at the top of the agenda. Setting out the argument for collective dweller-control of housing; Birchall demonstrates that the arguments for co-operatives are strong; based on a broad spectrum of political thought. He charts the early and recent history of co-operative housing; and shows how they provide a flexible and stable means of meeting housing needs.

Iconic Indy Restaurants in One Place!By Lindsey SpringerAfter hearing various stories about restaurants and experiences in Indianapolis through the years; its great to see a book that compiles all of these places in one place with beautiful pictures and lively descriptions. The restaurants in the book are organized well. For instance; some chapters are "International Flair"; "Gone but Not Forgotten"; and "Diners and Drive-Ins". There are also a few recipes from iconic restaurants that no longer exist! I bought two copies of this book knowing that Id want to show or lend this to a friend and it may not return :)2 of 2 people found the following review helpful.
