An Open Access edition of this book is available on the Liverpool University Press website and the OAPEN library. Reconstructing Public Housing unearths Liverpool's hidden history of radical alternatives to municipal housing development and builds a vision of how we might reconstruct public housing on more democratic and cooperative foundations. In this critical urban history, Matthew Thompson brings to light how and why this remarkable city became host to two pioneering social movements in collective housing and urban regeneration experimentation. In the 1970s, Liverpool produced one of Britain's largest, most democratic and socially innovative housing co-op movements, including the country's first new-build co-op to be designed, developed and owned by its member-residents. Four decades later, in some of the very same neighbourhoods, several campaigns for urban community land trusts are growing from the grassroots - including the first ever architectural or housing project to be nominated for and win, in 2015, the artworld's coveted Turner Prize. Thompson traces the connections between these movements; how they were shaped by, and in turn transformed, the politics, economics, culture and urbanism of Liverpool. Drawing on theories of capitalism and cooperativism, property and the commons, institutional change and urban transformation, Thompson reconsiders Engels' housing question, reflecting on how collective alternatives work in, against and beyond the state and capital, in often surprising and contradictory ways.

This is a new release of the original 1923 edition.

Truth is much stranger than fiction and this book is filled with facts and history... FORGOTTEN history. You can look up almost any fact in this book and find that it actually happened. The most impressive details are often subtle details. Every time you read it, you will find a new one. The book has many radically different ideas about Atlantis, Mars, UFO's, SETI, quantum physics, and even Bigfoot. There are introduction paragraphs at beginning of each chapter and a glossary at the end. The glossary is both helpful and functional. There are key bits of information you don't get from the story.

A hidden past. A desperate present. An inescapable future. Two separate lives brought together by the interconnected threads of time and destiny are about to change the world forever.

IN A WORLD WHERE TRUE SEPARATION IS IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND, everything that happens affects absolutely everything else, in every way. When one opens and allows a vulnerability and a healing to occur, the way is opened for others to open and heal as well. When one shatters their way through an emotional, mental, or spiritual wall, the interconnected wall is that much weaker for the next being to smash through and find the next step in their own enlightenment. The WORLDSTORY project is a various author effort designed to relate to each other in unity; to encourage and inspire through the sharing of personal stories, trials, lessons, blessings, and growth; and to offer a space of healing for those doing the writing, and for those reading. The right people will read the right words at exactly the right time they need it. That's how this world works.

He didn't remember exactly where he was before he had a body, but he definitely remembered where he was when he became aware he was now inside a body. The harder he tried to remember before, though, the further it seemed to slip away. He had to have known at one time- he remembers there was a "one time," doesn't he? Why was it now cruelly held captive at the edge of his awareness, taunting and teasing his muffled soul? One thing he did know: he did not belong here. He was not from this place, he was not made for this place, he did not belong in this place. He was sure of it. But to this place he had come. Looking upon a sea of twisted and angry faces now, his first memory in this new reality is nearly his last. But what is this reality? How did he get here? And why is he here? ROOT is an emotional journey of love, fear, loss, and exactly what it means to be alive. - - The Root Chakra processes our energies and emotions of fear, survival, foundation, family, and purpose.
