The gentrification of neighborhoods outside of downtown bear the impact of twentieth-century redlining efforts, forcing residents out due to housing demand, adding fuel to the affordable-housing crisis. Such an environment and atmosphere make excellent fodder for noir fiction . . .\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e The book you're holding is the first of its kind--a short fiction collection about Milwaukee, by writers who've experienced life here. The crime\/noir genre at its best can be one of the purest forms of social commentary. I've gathered contributors who can tell not just a fine story, but who can write about the struggles and resilience of the people who live here . . . I'm honored to compile a body of work that represents what I love, and fear, about Milwaukee. I love my city's lack of pretension; its stubbornness and pride in the unpolished corners. I fear that my city faces an uncertain future--that as it becomes more divided it may push our best and brightest to find somewhere else to shine.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51040310296849,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51040312885521,"sku":"NIN9781617758027","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1617758027.jpg?v=1751214064"},{"product_id":"recalled-to-health-book-tim-hennessy-9781681627755","title":"Recalled to Health","description":"This is both a memoir of the author's path to becoming a doctor and a useful medical guide to achieving and keeping good health.

Dr. Hennessy wrote the book over a five-year period in between his work as a doctor and his other professional and personal pursuits. He says the initial impetus for it came from his bimonthly health newsletter, H-mail: Medical Education Made Easy.  Dr. Hennessy describes the focus of his book as conservative medicine: he aims to promote freedom by inspiring one and all to live healthier lives and, in the process, to become less dependent on medication and the flawed health service and more emboldened to live life to its fullest, unimpeded by the physical constraints of poor health. By providing a medical foundation that will lead to a better understanding of medical topics, RECALLED TO HEALTH can empower its readers to take charge of their own health.   Cholesterol, blood pressure, diet and weight management, exercise, sleeping habits and the role of nature in health are some of the topics discussed in full here, along with suggestions for optimum actions, behaviours or treatments. Each of the chapters ends with a helpful summary of tips and the back of the book contains numerous, fully cited references listed by chapters as well as an index.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52636972581137,"sku":"NIN9781591202578","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52690048876817,"sku":"NLS9781591202578","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9781591202578.jpg?v=1761974287"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/collections\/author-books-by-tim-hennessy.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
