Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.

Regent Park Redux evaluates one of the biggest experiments in
public housing redevelopment from the tenant perspective. Built in
the 1940s, Toronto's Regent Park has experienced common large-scale
public housing problems. Instead of simply tearing down old
buildings and scattering inhabitants, the city's housing authority
came up with a plan for radical transformation. In partnership with
a private developer, the Toronto Community Housing Corporation
organized a twenty-year, billion-dollar makeover. The reconstituted
neighbourhood, one of the most diverse in the world, will offer a
new mix of amenities and social services intended to "reknit the
urban fabric." Regent Park Redux, based on a ten-year study of 52
households as they moved through stages of displacement and
resettlement, examines the dreams and hopes residents have for
their community and their future. Urban planners and designers
across the world, in cities facing some of the same challenges as
Toronto, will want to pay attention to this story.

Adam and Gretchen Levy wake of the day of their father, Dr. Agmon
Levy's funeral, only to find he was a former Nazi Hunter. He leaves
them his journal that chronicles his life back to when he and his
family were captives in the German concentration camps. He also
believed that Adolf Hitler and Eva Braun did not die by suicide,
April 30, 1945-that they escaped. His diaries showed extensive
tracking and now Adam and Gretchen must pick up the trail that
leads to the legacy of the notorious Adolf Hitler.
In the aftermath of the Battle of the Elven Woods, the two legends
of Marithian prophecy are both dangerously close to the dark grip
of death as Marithia suffers under the powers of the Blood Red
Moon. Vartan, prophesised to save Marithia, lays spellbound under
the protection of the mythical dragons. The vampire sorceress
Kassina, prophesised to bring about their Armageddon has been moved
to the underworld by the demon lord himself, Shindar. A seed of the
gods has grown and their greatest gift to Marithians, Anakari,
makes her fated journey to discover her purpose. A former shining
jewel of Marithian peace, castle Greenhaven, remains in ruins after
its defeat under Kassina's forces and the elves rebuild their war
torn city of Veldrenn. Talonsphere must be found before Marithia
merges with the Underworld and Shindar brings about the world's
end.
