Conceived in the Gilded Age, the Ferry Building opened in 1898 as San Francisco's portal to the world-the terminus of the transcontinental railway and a showcase of civic ambition. In silent films and World's Fair postcards, nothing said "San Francisco" more than its soaring clocktower.But as acclaimed architectural critic John King recounts in Portal, the rise of the automobile and double-deck freeways severed the city from its beloved structure and its waterfront-a connection that required generations to restore.King's narrative spans the rise and fall and rebirth of the Ferry Building. Rich with feats of engineering and civic imagination, his story introduces colorful figures who fought to preserve the Ferry Building's character (and the city's soul)-from architect Arthur Page Brown and legendary columnist Herb Caen to poet Lawrence Ferlinghetti and Senator Dianne Feinstein.In King's hands, the saga of the Ferry Building is a microcosm of a larger evolution along the waterfronts of cities everywhere. Portal traces the damage inflicted on historic neighborhoods and working dockyards by cars, highways, and top-down planning and "urban renewal." But when an earthquake destroyed the Embarcadero Freeway, city residents seized the chance to reclaim their connection to the bay. Transporting readers across 125 years of history, this tour de force explores the tensions impacting urban infrastructure and public spaces, among them tourism, deindustrialization, development, and globalization. Portal culminates with a rich portrait of San Francisco's vibrant esplanade today, visited by millions, even as sea level rise and earthquakes threaten a landmark that remains as vital as ever.A book for city lovers and visitors, architecture fans and pedestrians, Portal is essential reading for anyone interested in the history of San Francisco and the future of American cities.

The Arab-Muslim world is in turmoil. Zidane Meriboute's book offers a panorama Global Islam, violent and non-violent Salafism and Sufism, a current that is very much in vogue in the world and particularly in the West, this study provides us with first-hand information by introducing us, in a pedagogical way, to the complexity and diversity of contemporary Muslim currents. These analyses are supplemented by an evocation of American evangelism, a conquering Christian movement that is permanently inscribed in the Muslim world at the price of a destabilization that risks further unbalancing a disturbed reality. The offensive of evangelical Christians in the Maghreb, Africa and the Middle East, including Israel, is, according to the author, part of a logic of confrontation with Muslims. Is confrontation with the Muslim world inevitable? Zidane Meriboute proposes new avenues for the establishment of an authentic religious diplomacy, called to thwart through finely constructed dialogues the prospects of religious confrontation between Christians and Muslims.

The properties we're talking about range from $30,000 to $50,000, located in middle-class neighborhoods across the country.

They provide a chance to inject capital, life, and prosperity into areas that have been overlooked for too long. And guess what? They're not just beneficial for the community; these investments are also profitable. We're talking about high returns and a steady cash flow-the kind of financial stability you can't always find in the stock market or other volatile investment avenues.This book is not just about investing; it's about making an impact. It's about reclaiming the narrative and understanding that wealth is not just about where we put our money, but how we use it to shape our world. It's about leveraging the opportunity in the overlooked, the underappreciated, the low-priced neighborhoods, and transforming them into vibrant communities while securing a financial future for ourselves.So, if you're ready to dive into a world of investment that is as rewarding socially as it is financially, I invite you to turn the page.

I was not born into wealth, and the real estate market seemed like an intimidating venture. But through resilience, research, and a bit of trial and error, I found a niche that not only promised financial returns but also echoed my desire to make a positive societal impact. Over time, I have managed to aid thousands of investors in securing their financial future by investing in properties priced between $30,000 to $50,000 in middle-class neighborhoods all over the nation.
