Community Real Estate Development: A History and How-To for
Practitioners, Academics, and Students introduces the fundamentals
of affordable housing to aspiring development professionals. From
understanding the history informing today's affordable housing
programs to securing financing and partnering with public and
private stakeholders, this primer equips students and emerging
professionals for success in a unique area of the real estate
industry. Topical chapters written by nationally recognized leaders
in community real estate development (CRED) take a didactic
approach, using real-life examples and case studies to provide
context for reflection. Drawing on the authors' experience as
private sector developers, state and municipal housing officials,
and not-for-profit executives, this versatile resource offers an
insider's perspective on creating and maintaining affordable
housing in any real estate market. Features: Covers topics
including community design, development policy, tax credits, land
use planning, development rights, historic buildings, adaptive
reuse, tax increment financing, and gentrification Presents
interviews with development professionals in asset and property
management, commercial real estate brokerage, and local housing
authorities and government agencies Highlights winning case studies
from a student competition to inspire similar classroom activities
Includes a glossary of CRED-specific terminology to help readers
master the language of affordable housing Contains diverse
examples, planning tools, and "programs to make numbers work," with
a companion website available Blending the latest academic research
with hard-won insights from the field, Community Real Estate
Development prepares the next generation of affordable housing
professionals to continue the work of its pioneering authors and
editors.

Industrial hygienists and ventilation engineers know the name well:
W.C.L. Hemeon. Since 1955, those professionals have frequently
looked to Hemeon's Plant & Process Ventilation for essential
information on industrial ventilation. Hemeon's longtime influence
and inspiration has now prompted D. Jeff Burton-a prolific author
on industrial ventilation himself-to produce a Fourth Edition of
"the classic industrial ventilation text." While retaining Hemeon's
distinctive writing style, conveying practical information in vivid
phrasing, Burton has added extensive new information to recognize
today's technology and techniques. Essential fundamentals of
ventilation covered in the book include an explanation about the
dynamic properties of airborne contaminants, and the principles of
dispersion mechanism and local exhaust. Advanced applications are
also examined in detail, particularly system design, dust control,
and troubleshooting. Along with providing essential background on
the two primary types of workplace ventilation-general and local
exhaust-Hemeon's Plant & Process Ventilation also aims for
mutual understanding between the health-oriented priorities of
industrial hygienists, and the practical applications for maximum
efficiency considered by ventilation engineers. Have a
well-thumbed, dog-eared copy of Hemeon's Plant & Process
Ventilation? Now is the best time to retire it in favor of this
revised-and respectful-edition. Those who are new to Hemeon's
approach will discover what other professionals have known more
than 40 years: Hemeon offers some of the most effective ways to
control environmental contaminates through proper ventilation
techniques.
Thomas E. Ketchum, better known as "Black Jack" Ketchum, at six
foot two inches tall with dark skin and black hair and described as
having a "wonderful physique," never became one of those folklore
desperados whose violent and lawless ways were burnished with an
illusive romance. If he is remembered at all, it is mostly for the
peculiar circumstances which attended the curtailment of his
earthly career. Yet, as a man who was noted in his own day, and who
stood out above most others in his dubious profession, he is worthy
of more than passing mention. He and his companions were among the
boldest outlaws ever to ride the American Southwest, and almost the
last of their line. Tom Ketchum and his small gang--one member was
his brother Sam--were on the dodge in Texas, New Mexico, and
Arizona for less than four years and their career of banditry
lasted for little more than two years. Tom, often confused with the
earlier Black Jack Christian who was the first outlaw in New Mexico
to carry the handle "Black Jack," was always the leader of their
gang. In the end he paid dearly for his escapades. At his hanging
in 1901 he declared, "Hurry up boys, I'm due in Hell for dinner."
Jeff Burton was born in Nottinghamshire, England, in 1936. His
interest in history, folklore, and myth began at an early age. His
special field has been the study of law enforcement and outlawry in
the American West.
