PRIVACY CRISIS is an exceptional privacy reference tool. A must read for 2007........2007-04-12
PRIVACY CRISIS was written by an author who has proved that through diligence, effort and a working knowledge of the system, one can have privacy in their life.
Grant Hall has opened new doors for those of us who previously believed that the road to financial privacy must be traveled by transferring assets to offshore 'havens' in an attempt to control our assets. In fact, Hall uses business resources that cater to the privacy seeker combined with knowledge of the financial system and negotiating skills to keep bank and brokerage funds hidden from those who may want to find them. Hall recommends using a company that rents safe deposit boxes without identification, tax i.d. or Social Security numbers-not even a name for those who want total secrecy. There's examples of cashing checks that leave no trail to the payee. Hold assets and property in total secrecy. These methods were eye openers for me.
I liken this book to an information enemy to the powers that want to control freedom loving Americans. Those who choose to become invisible to identity thieves, stalkers, private eyes can do it by practicing Hall's principles in PRIVACY CRISIS.
This is the best book on the subject I have read and I highly recommend it to those who desire personal privacy.
PRIVACY CRISIS provides information on banking secrecy in the U.S.A........2007-03-22
I have completed Privacy Crisis and this book answered many questions about privacy and the challenges we face today.
Grant Hall has covered all of the important money privacy issues and it is possible to make your assets and money disappear through the application of the principles outlined in the book. And this can be done in the U.S.A. What a break from the other authors who guide readers toward offshore banks and advise giving control to others.
I appreciate the attention to detail. Obviously, Hall has walked where other privacy writers have never gone. I would highly recommend this book to those who fear their bank accounts will be stolen or seized by government agencies or others. Thorough, complete and worth the money many times over, Privacy Crisis will become a big deal in the arena of Privacy Reference books.
This book may be the greatest investment a person could make to escape the threats of stalkers, identity thieves or others who wish you harm.
Buy this book.
Worth a Hundred Times the Price.......2007-03-02
Personal privacy is under siege these days. Mine was first invaded when cyber-crooks drained my checking account in a single day. If you don't take steps to protect yours, it too will go up in smoke. For you, maybe it's when an obsessed former spouse or fan starts stalking you. Or the government--claiming "national security"--begins wiretapping your phone. Maybe it's when your employer snoops on all your emails, a gumshoe rifles through your credit files, or you have to supply your most personal information just to open a checking account or buy a home.
You don't have to give up your God-given privacy. Believe me, this book will tell you everything you'll ever need to know about how to protect it--whether in just one area, or an entirely anonymous lifestyle. This author knows his stuff. He's practiced everything he writes about. So his book is far in advance of other privacy books that just recycle armchair theories or even worse, suggest you do things that are outright illegal.
Protect your identity. Protect the privacy of your home and business transactions--your computer, phone, mail, travel, bank account, stored items, credit files, hard assets, and investments. One invasion of your privacy will cost you ten or a hundred times the price of this one-of-a-kind book.
I wish I'd known about it before they emptied my bank account.
A timely guide to preventing stalking and identity theft.......2007-01-26
During this era of skyrocketing identity theft crimes, violence and death to innocent victims by stalkers, and government's tracking and monitoring of citizens' business, money and communication, Americans are seeking privacy for personal security and survival. Grant Hall writes on how to live an anonymous lifestyle in his new book, Privacy Crisis: Identity Theft Prevention Plan and Guide to Anonymous Living. And he should know. He used a non-traditional 'defense' to avoid a civil court case by disappearing for four years. A number of privacy tactics outlined in Privacy Crisis belong to Hall. I have never seen these in print-and I began reading privacy books prior to the publication of W.G. Hill's first PT book. Privacy Crisis may be the best book of its kind ever written.
According to Hall, privacy living is the answer to preventing identity theft. One can escape from a stalker or disappear-for any reason by using the information in Privacy Crisis. Alternate identification, renting and owning a home in secrecy, driving and working under the radar and establishing a clandestine communication and computer system are covered in detail. This book is thorough and complete and cites case histories and challenges the author of 'How to be Invisible' on the use of nominees.
Hall provides insight on anonymous banking, cashing checks privately, alternate name debit cards and provides a resource for obtaining a safe deposit box requiring no name or Social Security number. There's information on how to keep investments, property and businesses a secret. All of this can be accomplished in the U.S.A. of all places-a welcome change from the many books offering unrealistic, inconvenient, expensive, offshore remedies for domestic privacy problems.
A Must-read for Privacy-conscious Americans!.......2007-01-14
It goes without saying that personal privacy is a rare commodity in America today. Identity theft has become the country's fastest growing crime. Con artists relentlessly target us while greedy lawyers and vengeful ex-spouses threaten to drain our bank accounts and assets. Our personal computers have become open doors into the most discreet corners of our lives. And that doesn't begin to address threats to our privacy from the government, eavesdropping employers, nosey snoops with hidden agendas, eavesdropping employers, and increasingly intrusive marketing-crazed companies.
Privacy Crisis is easily one of the best books on privacy ever written. Through his eye-opening inside perspective, as someone who evaded private investigators and attorneys for four years by living "below the radar," Grant Hall has brought us an authoritative how-to guide for the average American who wants to protect his or her privacy on an practical level. Far superior to the many theory-laden books on privacy, Privacy Crisis is a revealing step-by-step manual written by someone who has walked the walk. This book is required reading for anyone concerned about their personal and financial privacy in an ever-threatening society.

In Hide Your Assets and Disappear, a master gumshoe gives some straight information about how to cover your trail and protect your money from the government and creditors. Edmund J. Pankau, a writer and acclaimed private investigator, believes that individual rights, privacy, and benefits are slowly eroding in the United States, but that there are ways--legal and illegal--to beat the authorities. "The choice is yours to make," writes Pankau, "Don't be the one that someday says, 'I wish I could have done that.'"
Pankau despises domestic tax laws. He urges people to hire a good attorney to help plan a move offshore to a sunny clime with low taxes, bank-privacy rules, and simpler, cheaper living. He recommends New Zealand, Belize, Costa Rica, and Honduras, where the island of Roatan is his own personal hideaway. And for those who truly need to disappear, Pankau explains how amazingly easy it is to obtain a second or third passport, become a new person or stage a phony death.
Pankau is also a powerful advocate for asset-protection planning. The book features some nifty moves to block creditors with bankruptcy laws. There are also methods to maximize state and federal tax exemptions and maneuvers to shield a personal residence, real estate, stocks, or pension accounts from taxes and potential creditors or lawsuits.
The book is for hard-core freedom seekers. It's also recommended for people interested in more conventional techniques for protecting money, property, and other valuables. --Dan Ring
Book Description
A New York Times and Wall Street Journal bestseller!
Are you tired of the way you're living? Are you fed up with everyone trying to take your most valuable possessions--your money and assets--away? Are you sick of having creditors, the IRS, or a vindictive ex-spouse nipping at your heels? If only you could disappear without a trace...if only you could resurface in some exotic foreign place with a whole new identity and a brand-spanking new life.
And on the other side, how would you like to track down that ex (and his assets) who owes you money? Want to know his tricks?
For most people, this is just a fantasy. But it doesn't have to be. In Hide Your Assets and Disappear, one of the nation's top-ten-rated private investigators, Edmund J. Pankau, reveals all the tricks of his trade to show you how to hide it all or find someone who has. An experienced tracker who has worked for the government to recover missing assets, Pankau explains step-by-step how to successfully get away or find someone who has.
Filled with vivid real-life stories of both successes and failures as well as an Internet research guide, this invaluable guide outlines exactly what you should know before you go, including the ever-increasing difficulties you will face as the world becomes more tightly linked through electronic networks. Pankau shows you how to pay attention to prevent slip-ups that can give you away, from birthday phone calls to magazine subscriptions to an off-the-cuff comment to a stranger. He prepares you logistically and psychologically to successfully make the transition to your new life and new self in a new world, and gives you the best information on how to go, where to go, how to live, how to behave, and even who to become once you get there.
Should I keep my assets here or move them abroad? How do I create a new identity? How do I stay lost? Can I ever go back? How can I avoid anyone who might be looking for me? And how can I find someone who's disappeared on me? How do people fake their own deaths? What can the government do to catch a concealer? Pankau has the answer for all these questions and many more, and provides the tiny, often overlooked details that can make the difference between lounging on a tropical beach or ending up on the wrong side of the law.
Whether you're in search of a new life or someone who has hidden their assets and disappeared and left you in the lurch, listen to Edmund J. Pankau. With his unique, entertaining, eye-opening guide, he shows you how to go from victim to victor.

Hide Your Assets and disappear.......2007-09-24
Great book, had lots of useful insights. Book arrived in a timely manner and in condition promised.
Dated and not practical for privacy.......2007-01-31
I have read a number of privacy books and this one is not a great read.
Dated and not practical.
Didnt tell me anything.......2007-01-05
Gave alot of ideas on what you should do, but no real advice on how to do it
Utterly useless.......2006-08-23
Before 9/11, this was already a joke among people interested in protecting their privacy and assets (e.g., from litigious lawyers). After 9/11, none of the stuff mentioned in this worthless book even remotely works. BTW, the other reviewers are right: he doesn't really tell you *how* to do things anyway!
Don't waste your money.......2005-10-08
This book is for more affluent folks who already have access to this type of information. Outdated, sexist, even insulting to those who believe in paying their fair share. If you are a regular middle class or working class person who is fed up with paying through the nose to make everyone else richer, you are on the right path but this is NOT the book for you.
Book Description

few good ideas.......2007-07-31
this book is more like a large pamphlet. The book is mainly a lot of ideas that are somewhat common sense (at least to me). In order to make most of this book work for you, you might want to also get a book on how to extremely lower your standards. The author suggests most of his ideas to become homeless and hitchhike as opposed to actually setting up a new identity although there are a few ideas about that. All in all for the length of the read i didnt expect to much, but got a few ideas.
This book saved my life!.......2007-01-13
I am surprised at some of the past reviewers of this book. They sound like armchair secret agents that want a book like this to tell them all the secrets of 9/11, Roswell and the Kennedy assassination, all for under a dollar!
The truth is, however, that this book is a how-to manual for people who need to lay low for a while, because of financial problems, stalkers, vengeful ex-spouses, or what have you.
Do the techniques it describes work? YES. Using them I was able to disappear for several months during a time when a vengeful and psychotic ex-boyfriend wanted very much to put a bullet in me. He is now sitting in prison, and I am safe for at least 20 years. But if I hadn't found this book then I would likely be dead at this point.
I strongly recommend this book for anyone who needs to get away from things for a while - without anyone being able to track them down.
This Title is Unique - Not the Average "Change Your ID" Book.......2004-11-08
Most books on the subject of Fake ID tell you how to start over completely. You have to sever ties to your former life permanently and completely. There is no going back. But what if you aren't sure you want to change your ID completely? What if all you need is an extended vacation to collect your thoughts and prepare a plan?
"Cover Your Tracks Without Changing Your Identity" introduces the concept of a "light identity change". This interesting title explains how to leave your old identity intact but keep your problems finding you at your new location. Using Wilson's tactics in "Cover Your Tracks Without Changing Your Identity", you will be able to return to your former identity if you desire.
The information contained in this unique title will undoubtedly help many people.
Packed with good information.......2004-10-09
Anyone needing to increase their personal privacy should read this book. It has advice for people trapped in bad marriages, folks threatened by stalkers, and even those who are just desperately unhappy in their daily lives. Following Wilson's instructions you really can virtually fall off the face of the earth for several weeks up to a year, while you get your head together and figure out what to do next.
Though it's about a very serious topic, the author tosses in some of his own quirky humor and observations which make the book fun to read as well as enlightening. Recommended to anyone interested in privacy protection.
Book Description
Now in paperback comes Jim Steinmeyer’s astonishing chronicle of half a century of illusionary innovation, backstage chicanery, and keen competition within the world of magicians. Lauded by today’s finest magicians and critics, Hiding the Elephant is a cultural history of the efforts among legendary conjurers to make things materialize, levitate, and disappear. Steinmeyer unveils the secrets and life stories of the fascinating personalities behind optical marvels such as floating ghosts interacting with live actors, disembodied heads, and vanishing ladies. He demystifies Pepper’s Ghost, Harry Kellar’s Levitation of Princess Karnak, Charles Morritt’s Disappearing Donkey, and Houdini’s landmark vanishing of Jennie the elephant in 1918. The dramatic mix of science and history, with revealing diagrams, photographs and magicians' portraits by William Stout, provides a glimpse behind the curtain at the backstage story of magic.

Interesting, If Interested In Magic.......2007-10-04
Fortunately I am as this is no laymen's book. I quite enjoyed it and found it full of the fragmented tidbits of information I am so fond of. A little technical at times - I was far more interested in some of the stories then in precise line drawings or sketches, though Steinmeyer is skilled at taking complex principles and breaking them down into simple line drawings. I wish it had been a bit more chatty but am glad i read it.
Good History, Easy Reading.......2007-10-04
This is a fun and easy read. Probably nothing new for serious fans of the history of magic but it is a good summary of the lives of some very special people in an interesting sub-culture.
For those buying the book to discover magical secrets, they will learn little other than the truth of the cliche that magic is all smoke and mirrors.
Not your average magic book.......2007-02-19
If you're looking for a book to teach you magic tricks, this is not the book for you. Granted, it describes how some grand illusions work (mostly those that aren't in use any longer), but the book is more about the history of magic. But don't let that turn you off. It's not the dry, boring history you'd find in a textbook. There are anecdotes, personal recollections, and much more. It's a very easy read, and it's absolutely fascinating.
An Instant Classic.......2007-01-11
This book is a classic. It is not only one of the best books on the history of magic ever written, but is also a rich portrait of both Victorian and Edwardian England. The magicians become full characters in Steinmeyer's hands. He shows us some of their secrets, yes, but in a full-bodied manner that keeps us mezmerized, even after we know how the trick was done. As a magician myself I fully agree that a trick is never the secret or sleight itself, but is how this sleight is used in an act of fantasy. Learning the "trick," as Steinmeyer says, IS like turning to the last page of a mystery novel. You may know the ending, but you will not appreciate the fullness of the story. This is easily one of my favorite books. I loved it so much I immediately ordered his other books. I started reading Art & Artifice next, and was greatly dismayed to learn that the entire book, word for word (except for a some rearranging and a few brief passages), appears in Hiding the Elephant! Unless you're a completist do not buy both Hiding the Elephant and Art & Artifice. Steinmeyer has plagiarized himself quite dramatically, as Hiding the Elephant is really just an expanded version of Art & Artifice.
Author loves his subject.......2007-01-10
This is a very enjoyable book on the history of magic and how the great illusions were achieved. The author has an obvious love for his subject and has put a great deal of thought into recostructing the secrets of lost illusions e.g. The disappearing donkey.

An unofficial adviser to President Bill Clinton, Wilson has become a celebrity of sorts. A former University of Chicago professor, Wilson--currently on staff at Harvard--has been profiled in The New Yorker and dubbed one of America's most influential people by Time magazine. A respected thinker on issues of race and poverty, the author of The Declining Significance of Race and The Truly Disadvantaged offers his take on welfare and inner-city joblessness in When Work Disappears. Racism, Wilson argues, plays increasingly less of a role in urban problems. More significant, he claims, are changes in the global economy and the disappearance of unskilled but decent-paying jobs near cities; according to Wilson, these factors have deprived the urban working class of steady jobs, destroyed inner-city businesses, and caused younger, upwardly mobile residents to flee for the suburbs.
Book Description
Wilson, one of our foremost authorities on race and poverty, challenges decades of liberal and conservative pieties to look squarely at the devastating effects that joblessness has had on our urban ghettos. Marshaling a vast array of data and the personal stories of hundreds of men and women, Wilson persuasively argues that problems endemic to America's inner cities--from fatherless households to drugs and violent crime--stem directly from the disappearance of blue-collar jobs in the wake of a globalized economy. Wilson's achievement is to portray this crisis as one that affects all Americans, and to propose solutions whose benefits would be felt across our society. At a time when welfare is ending and our country's racial dialectic is more strained than ever,
When Work Disappears is a sane, courageous, and desperately important work.
"Wilson is the keenest liberal analyst of the most perplexing of all American problems...[This book is] more ambitious and more accessible than anything he has done before."
--The New Yorker

This book is an important perspective in urban sociology.......2006-11-01
I was confused to read reviews that tried to refute Wilson's knowledge in this field such as misusing statistical data or ignoring other important issues within the inner-city. It made me wonder if there is a real denial to the problems that exist within the inner-city. Myself, having worked within the field, experienced very similar stories told by the personal accounts given by residents and general population. Wilson gives a purely rational and valid interpretation of both existing data taken from samples within the inner-city (mostly Chicago - I'm sure D.C. stats are there too;) and statistics he has personally obtained. He uses methods of the sociological, psychological, and economic nature. As a researcher, I see no serious error in his suppositions. This is how academics use the scientific method.
While I agree that Wilson was a little naive about his proposal to changing policy he still is able to point out his own limitations. In general, the job market is up but for a specific population the job market is still weak. I think the greatest message Wilson leaves for the reader is a feeling of empowerment by understanding the underlying issues that goes along with this phenomenon. It's definitely an important read for any urban sociologist.
Analysis is excellent, policy advice needs some work.......2006-01-10
I found this to be one of the best discussions on urban poverty, and certainly one of the most balanced. I could go on about what I like about the book, but the other reviews do that justice.
I did not have much of a problem with his analysis of urban poverty. Wilson is right on when he blames a lack of jobs, transportation, adequate social support (including the lack of universal healthcare and childcare subsidies), and the cultural conditions created by unemployment as causes of urban poverty. However, like many sociologists and economists, he assumes post industrialist conceptions of these problems. For instance, he cites the "skills bias" as one of the major causes of a lack of jobs for poor, unskilled workers. He rehashes the common view that job loss can be attributed to our post-industrial economy that simply requires people to go to college and get more and more education. However, subsequent sociologists (namely, Michael Handel from the University of Wisconsin) have dismissed the skills bias as a bit of a myth that is used to distract people from the actual problem. If Wilson would have written his book a couple years later, he would have seen how job loss in the high technology sectors of the economy and the high unemployment rates for college graduates make it hard to believe that our economy has a skills bias. However, Wilson does acknowledge the other causes of job loss, including the trade deficit and off shoring production as more realistic causes of poverty.
My major problem is with his policy prescriptions, which like most establishment social scientists fall within the mainstream thinking. Wilson has excellent ideas concerning transportation, which should be a major policy issue in cities like Baltimore where most of the urban poor are without adequate means to get to work. Wilson's ideas about everything else are quite superficial considering the depth of his analysis. He basically advocates No Child Left Behind (national education standards) as a solution to our education problems. However, Wilson, like most scholars and political pundits, never advocates the obvious solution: more equal funding for inner-city schools to make them on par with suburban schools. Wilson himself acknowledges that problem, but it is not part of his solution. I think we do need to improve school instruction, but simply arguing for national education standards is too general. There are many problems with schools, but there are even more problems with students whom get their learning skills from the mass media.
Wilson also argues for more industry partnership with secondary education, and even goes so far to advocate allowing industry to shape curriculum. I think Wilson needs to examine the dangers in such a policy. While I agree that high schools do a poor job at preparing students for the labor market, I also think there is danger in using employer prescriptions as public policy. Employers are looking after what they need today in terms of workers, and by preparing students based on their prescription we might be shortchanging their futures when markets change (i.e. we were all told in the 1990s that computers were the way to go, but look what happened to the IT market). What we really need is to broadly educate students, giving them both skills and knowledge that are applicable to both the economy and in a democratic society where people are more than just workers. Only a broadly educated worker can adapt to this new economy.
Also absent from his education policy is the idea that we should have universal college education. I figured that was a given considering his views on education and joblessness, but it was absent from his discussion.
Wilson advocates creating a New Deal style Public Works program to give people jobs. I think that is essentially a good idea, but Wilson does not go far enough in justifying his arbitrary stance on setting public job wages below the minimum. The whole idea behind a WPA-style program is to decrease unemployment so wages rise, not just to decrease unemployment with no consideration of wages. Wilson shows a blatant disregard for Keynesian economics in this analysis. The problem is demand-side, not only the fact that people cannot find jobs, but because people cannot find good jobs that pay well. Industry is totally committed to keeping workers at poverty-level wages, and government policies for the past 30 years have ignored that struggle. Yes, Wilson advocates expanding the EITC, but why cut taxes? Taxes are not the problem, but the solution. Raise taxes for everyone, especially the rich.
What we need is for the government to create jobs of varying levels of skills and pay to compete with industry. The problem in the economy is that we have excessive amounts of labor slack generated by the decline of unions and the outsourcing of foreign labor. Wilson believes that by making the WPA jobs below the minimum wage it will give incentives for people to leave the WPA for higher paying private sector jobs. For what private sector jobs... McDonalds? How are low-waged WPA jobs going to influence the private sector to raise wages? Why does Julius not call for a higher minimum wage? Why is Wilson soft on making corporations pay their workers decently? Yes, unemployment is a problem, but so is job quality. Again, back to his analysis, the reason these women are on welfare is because it is more advantageous not to work than it is to work. The focus should be on raising wages through reducing unemployment and increasing labor's bargaining power. With a high paying public sector job, labor can tell private power "hey, if you're not going to pay me well, I'm going to go here...".
The last point of contention is where Wilson assumes that the globalization of production is "inevitable" and that protectionist policies are "undesirable". Of course, when discussing trade policy, the assumption is that job outsourcing is a phenomena associated with free trade. Transferring production abroad is not free trade; it is a protectionist policy corporations use to avoid the market discipline of comparative advantage. The phenomenon is the cause of the expanding trade deficit, and has disastrous economic effects. Public policy should aim to reduce job outsourcing by making it more expensive and by putting restrictions on capital mobility (and such restrictions were in place before the 1970s when everything started to go downhill). The federal government and state governments need to tell industry: "hey look, if you are not going to produce here, you can't sell here". That'll put them in line. These kinds of restrictions on capital mobility need to be implemented on a state level too to prevent businesses from fleeing the community anytime a local government creates a pro-labor policy.
It is interesting that private power is absent from Wilson's discussion. What responsibility do employers have to their workers in Wilson's book? None... In fact, public policy should aim to make everyone happy and not piss anyone off, according to the author. Well, the reality is that most of the policies that help working people are going to piss businesses off and may even hurt our competitiveness in the global economy. "Our" competitiveness in the global economy is based on exploiting third world countries and holding down the poor in our own country.
You can "prove" anything if you ignore the facts.......2005-08-08
Living in Washington, DC and seeing the changes in demographics in the city and surrounding area made me pick up this book at a sidewalk sale for 50 cents to see what Wilson's take on the "new urban poor" and his research correlating them to the loss of work opportunities. Reading this book should be mandatory at an advanced statistics course of how to come to bad conclusions through the use of selective and wrong data.
DC has never had a big industrial base, but it had a very strong and influential black middle class early in the 20th century up until FDR's New Deal when the city was swamped with undereducated and socially dysfunctional immigrants from the southern states. It is the same time that DC became a "black majority" city. This is the same time frame that Wilson uses to "prove" that there was a direct correlation with the loss of factory jobs and the explosion of the urban poor. In order to come to this conclusion, Wilson uses a lot of statistics taken out of context, manipulated to support his conclusions, and then come up with a rehash of "new" policy initiatives which are essentially a regurgitation of LBJ's "war on poverty" programs, which were an expansion and rehash of FDR's "New Deal."
What Wilson ignores are demographic shifts and trends that are much more easily explained and much more solidly supported by Charles Murray, Marvin Olasky, and others who were much more thorough in examining the trends that Wilson writes about.
The Washington DC area today has more jobs than ever before, yet the illegitimacy rate for black children is 90%. In the 1920's and 30's, the illegitimacy rate for whites and blacks was the same, even during the height of segregation and discrimination. The city now has a population base 25% smaller than its peak in the 50's. Even though job opportunities were expanding for minorities in DC, the black middle class abandoned DC and moved into Prince Georges County to get away from crime and other deteriorating social norms, but none of this is to be found in Wilson's research. The same is true for other cities where a combination of "white flight" and "black flight" of the middle class made these downtowns more closely resemble cities in third world countries than the USA. Similar problems can be found in Paris and its suburbs, and many other cities around Europe where immigration and a lack of assimilation have created huge ghettos of the "Urban Poor." There is indeed a much greater correlation to be found in the expansion of the size of the urban poor with the expansion of government programs designed to eliminate poverty. None of these alternative, and much more persuasive, reasons for the plight of the urban poor are to be found in this book. It was people like Wilson who "proved" Galileo to be wrong when he said that the Earth revolved around the sun, and this book is about as convincing.
There are many good statistics and arguments in this book. The problem is that Wilson has excluded any alternative explanations of the reasons for the urban poor, which makes this a very dishonest book.
Lets correlate joblessness with everything.......2004-01-28
This book is full of excuses and manipulated data that ignores the ultimate moral responsibility of a society. We can correlate joblessness with the number of innercity households that contain black ink pens if we want to. While Wilson presents an argument in an attempt to educate, his words are slanted in such a way that we are left feeling "sorry for them".
What do jobs have to do with it? Everything........2003-02-27
The essence of my reading of the book is that concentrated joblessness, not just concentrated poverty, is afflicting many people in old urban areas, and that prolonged joblessness, even more than prolonged poverty, is a profoundly disabling condition not only for individuals, but for communities, and has intergenerational effects.
Support for his theories is drawn from survey and ethnographic reseach with ghetto and non-ghetto residents and Us census data, as well as evidence from projects which involved relocation from ghetto to non-ghetto areas.
Focused on the American urban ghettos, with most of its data drawn from Chicago area studies, Wilson discusses the overlap of ghetto poverty areas, jobless ghettos, and the effects of living in each. He gives significant attention to the role of race- segregation, racially coded policy, ghetto culture, and attitudes of employers towards race and their employees. Of special interest is his aside on the opinions of black employers to black employees (reflective of the general pool of employers opinions towards black employees).
Wilson also examines ghetto related culture, the informal economies of the ghetto, and the place of Aid to Families with Dependent Children (AFDC) in the decision making calculus of ghetto residents.
What is, IMHO, key to reading this book is keeping in mind that areas of ghetto poverty and ghetto joblessness are growing, deepening, and are not in a position to self-correct. Put simply, if joblessness is a key factor in the creation of ghettos, it needs to be addressed by supply-side solutions (job creation & employment of last resort, fostering adequate social supports (childcare, etc.)), and not simply reconfiguring the stick of Temporary Assistance to Needy Families (the successor program to AFDC ).
If you're looking for a detailed set of proposals, Wilson retreads several good ideas (universal healthcare among them), but you'll be able to find far more developed versions of the same proposals elsewhere. If you're looking for a more in-depth look at poverty and joblessness in urban areas, however, this is an excellent place to start.

In Best Evidence, Michael Schmicker assembles scientific documentation for experiences that many readers intuitively believe are real, despite mainstream skepticism: ESP, psychokinesis, mental healing, ghosts and poltergeists, dowsing, mediums, near-death experiences, reincarnation, and, as Schmicker puts it, "Other Impossible Phenomena That Refuse to Disappear." Expect a credible collection of convincing evidence, such as a published report in the American Journal of Diseases of Children in which a Seattle doctor offers a detailed account of a near-death experience. Or a 1995 report from the CIA on the practice of remote viewing, in which the U.S. government hired psychics to spy on other countries. Other evidence is presented to convince readers of death-bed visions, ghosts and poltergeists, and reincarnation. While anyone can manipulate data to draw their own conclusions, Schmicker's evenhanded, journalistic tone brings credibility and a no-nonsense tone to these esoteric discussions. He also possesses a smooth, accessible writing style that makes it easy to digest the research, studies, and data that his book is based upon. After each chapter, he offers a "Highly Recommended Reading" list so readers can continue their own research. --Gail Hudson
Book Description
A national Gallup Poll found 93 percent of Americans believe in one or more paranormal phenomena that Science can’t explain and won’t accept. Veteran journalist and business writer Michael Schmicker tracked down the best scientific evidence for these phenomena which refuse to disappear. No National Enquirer nonsense here. Schmicker puzzled over statistics-stuffed psychokinesis studies from Princeton University and reincarnation research from University of Virginia; reviewed over 140 books from the 1894 classic ghost study Phantasms of the Living to a 1999 study of near death and out-of-body experiences by the blind, Mindsight; searched through professional journals and papers presented to the Parapsychological Assn. (affiliated with the American Association for the Advancement of Science); discovered surprising endorsements of psychic research from Freud and Jung, Sherlock Holmes creator Arthur Conan Doyle and Apollo astronaut Edgar Mitchell; tracked fiery academic debates on the Internet; exchanged email with poltergeist hunters; and even spent an evening at a mind-bending, spoon-bending PK party in Nevada. Michael Schmicker edits a high-technology industry newsletter covering developments in biotechnology, astronomy, computer software and ocean/earth sciences industries. An associate member of the Society for Scientific Exploration, he wrote Yahoo Internet Life Magazine’s guide to the best websites dedicated to “Paranormal Phenomena.”

Hello? Is there Anyone Home?.......2005-06-15
I agree with the reviewer who says that "if you believe in psi then this is a good book."
The problem is that there is not one scrap of evidence in favor of psi phenomena -it's not real. Like God.
Poorly Written.......2005-05-25
In short this book is poorly written. The author does not know how to tell a story or draw a reader in except in the title "Best Evidence." He skims through the relevant topics as if he a student trying to fill his word quota. I suggest sticking to Dean Radin's book The Conscious Universe. PS Why does the authors name appear at the top of every page?
Good, yes, but..........2003-11-01
I found the book an excellent read; I am a recent PSI junkie. This is my 4th or 5th book on the subject. Although I agree it is well-done, I recommend Dean Radin's book as a better, and more credible introduction.
Still 5 stars as I appreciate the entertaining writing.
One of the Best Paranormal Books Around.......2002-10-24
If you believe in the paranormal, you will love reading this book and want to own this book.
Chock full of information and references.......2001-08-27
If you want a book that has details and specific studies and bunches and bunches of references on Psi phenomena, this is it.
MICHAEL SCHMICKER gives the casual skeptic and the believer all the details and information anyone could want on a multitude of topics. From the table of contents this is what is covered:
TABLE OF CONTENTS:
Part I: PSIentific Facts
Chapter 1: Nobody Really Believes This Stuff, Right?
Chapter 2: Yeah, But I Bet They're All Wierdos and Nut Cases
Chapter 3: OK, But Do Any Scientists take This Stuff Seriously?
Chapter 4: But Science Says...
Chapter 5: The Times They Are A-Changing
Part II: Best Evidence
Chapter 6: Extra-Sensory Perception (ESP)
Chapter 7: Psychokinesis (PK)
Chapter 8: Dowsing
Chapter 9: The Mind-Body Connection: Mental And Faith Healing
Chapter 10: Death Bed Visions
Chapter 11: Near Death and Out-Of-Body Experiences
Chapter 12: Ghosts and Poltergeists
Chapter 13: Mediums and Channelers
Chapter 14: Reincarnation
Chapter 15: The Future of Science
FIRST HE GIVES US INFO ON ALL THE BELIEVERS OUT THERE. This list is sprinkled with many of the top scientists and world renown people of the last 2 centuries. So much for being a minority of odd balls.
THEN HE GIVES US NUTS AND BOLTS FACTS ON STUDIES DONE ON EACH TYPE OF PHENOMENA. Here is a fact-finders dream. This book references hundreds of sources of information on this phenomena. From the fringes to highly regarded institutions. When you read this, you will be astounded at the level of information provided. You could spend a lifetime reviewing all the references here. This book is a keeper once read for just this alone.
IF YOU ARE OF THE SCIENTIFIC MIND, this book gives you enough information to launch your own investigation into these recorded documentations of this phenomena. Let's face it, if we can use statistics to prove quality levels, prove scientific theorems we can also use it in Psi phenomena. This books points you to studies where scientists did just that. Excellent book. I'm going to dog-ear it for the references for sure.

How to disappear completly and never be found:go and read it!.......2006-02-25
this book is a wonderful mystery that you just can't stop reading! Be careful, if you are scared of humans that act like rats and ghosts that drown you, don, read this book! I live across from a grave yard, and once I had to stop reading and look around to make sure that the ratt was not attacking me.(Iwas reading at night.) In the end every thing turns out all right and everyone is happy.
tru!.......2003-11-20
No disrespect to the other guy, but thanks to this book, I've been living in hiding for over 12 years now, and no one's ever found me. And I'm actually quarterbacking a very prestigious NFL team for a living. I won't tell you, since that's a dead-give away, but I will say that it's located near Tampa.
not helpful enough for you to pack your bags...........2003-01-04
but it does give you some good ideas. fun and quick reading.
Krys Ky, how do you get online from in 'the pen'?.......2002-04-17
So there is this guy claiming to have read this book in one night and expected it to work. First off, it would take some time to properly execute the plans included in this volume.
Secondly, hiding yourself and being found by the feds the next morning simply prove that he didn't hide very well, if he actually DID get busted. People follow a pattern; this book is all about breaking that pattern. Additionally, if the person who
wrote that review really got busted by the feds, he would more than likely be in a federal prison. Federal agents don't usually
go after people for things other than federal crime. San Quentin
is a state prison of the California penal system, the CDC. So I would have to say ignore that person, for they are full of it.
Check this book out if you want to get away from it all. Just remember to do your homework, and cross-reference what you find here with other sources!
Not Quite Good Enoug.......2001-07-09
I read it in one night. It was very imformative. I followed the instructions very carefully and hid myself. I was found the next day at 9AM by the feds. I am now serving twenty years in the pen. Thanks a lot Doug Richmond.
Book Description
Mr. Dixon a member of the Ulster Association of Magicians, has gone missing—along with one hundred thousand pounds in cash. Israel Armstrong, bighearted and overly inquisitive, should stick to delivering library books to out-of-the-way readers and not get involved in the investigation. But of course, he can't help himself—which costs him his job and earns him a place of dishonor among the police's prime suspects. Can Israel clear his name and get his van back? Will the exhibition of old local photos he's been driving around County Antrim offer clues to Mr. D.'s whereabouts? And is a romance in the offing with winsome barmaid Rosie Hart?
All will be revealed!

Hapless Samson is in the thick of things again--good for us........2007-08-09
Sansom, who lives in Northern Ireland, is a writer and reviewer for the Guardian and the London Review of Books. He is the author of The Impartial Recorder (published in England as the Ring Road), and The Case of the Missing Books, the first in the Mobile Library mysteries.
Poor Israel Armstrong arrives early at the Dixon and Pickering store on Easter Saturday and is let in by security guard to set up his exhibit on the history of the store. In inimitable Armstrong style, he of course sets up the display and then backs into a glass display case that crashes into another... you get the picture.
The caretaker shows up pale and shocked, and stammers out that they've been robbed-and Mr. Dixon is missing. Once the police arrive they decide that since Israel is there, and his fingerprints are all over everything, he must be guilty. He is interrogated and arrested. He is a wreck of nerves when he is finally bailed out; and he realizes he must find out what happened. The police certainly won't.
He has to rely on his old pal Ted and his cab service, unfortunately, as he has been put on suspension and has no access to the library van. Ted and Israel stumble around, and during their investigation they trip across clues that lead them to a solution-of sorts. It seems Mr. Dixon was a member of a local magician's society. How did he make himself and 100,000 pounds in cash disappear? His wife and daughter appear only slightly worried. His son, a shock-jock talk show host on Belfast morning radio, is estranged from his father but inadvertently provides a clue.
Sansom has created a zany tale of a careening search through Ireland featuring the somewhat hapless librarian Israel, struggling to survive in an alien land.
Armchair Interviews says: A mystery with lots of interesting characters.

Every poem an adventure..........2006-01-16
I've been a lover of John Amen's work for several years.
His poems never fail to take me with him on wonderful journeys sharing his magical visions.
John's poetry is a gift I give myself.
Exquisite--just exquisite!!
Frank and earthy.......2005-11-13
(Reviewed for VLQ by C. E. Laine)
I loved John Amen's first book, Christening the Dancer (Uccelli Press, 2003). His second collection, More of Me Disappears (Cross-Cultural Communications, 2005), is an engaging encore, building on a strong poetic voice. More of Me Disappears feels familiar, yet pushes in new directions. The poet's voice is varied within its pages, sometimes an intimate whisper, other times a sandy growl, or a shout at the cosmic injustice that sometimes swallows things whole.
In these poems, it is as though the reader holds hands with the poet, exploring observations, insights, and a deeply personal history together. Amen makes clear how one can study the same pattern or object in different lighting; he shows us how the shadows tend to shift. He puts on the coat of a storyteller, giving us narrative that doesn't leave its imagery behind. In poems like "Verboten", we glimpse something of Amen's history, intertwined with events that marked the world forever, as we see the effects of the Holocaust in the unique cast of Amen's light. In other narrative pieces, we see his parents, skirt around missing segments of memory, visit streets both seedy and beautiful.
Opening the collection with unassuming candor and a touch of suspense, Amen writes (The Consummation):
"Without warning,
the river runs dry, its spine
as glutted and songless as any morgue."
This poet doesn't just observe life. Clearly, he's in it, living hip deep, embracing whatever gets tossed his way: (In the Making) "My name is a boa. I am the canary writhing in its throat."
Amen shakes out the rugs we sweep things under, inspects what is found there. His awareness of sound is compelling, and his imagery often unexpected. A cool stream for a warm day, this collection is both gritty and tender. My favorite aspect of this book is its tenacity and its unadulterated sense of hope:
(What I Said To Myself)
Choose the butterfly over the chrysalis.
Choose light, the ballroom, the well-lit restaurant.
You have for lifetimes strummed minor chords
on the coast of a dead sea. Think major, spindrift.
The sex between you and grief is becoming mechanical.
Despite your vestigial sentiments to the contrary,
a scab's story is much greater than that of a scar.
Your cock is not an umbilical cord, it is your
heart's mouthpiece. Choose sunrise, please.
It is time to do something that might cause
embarrassment. Let emptiness mother your child.
Put away the map, where we're going won't be on it.
There is nothing particularly inspiring about a death wish.
You have learned all there is to learn from the woman in black.
It is time to stop insulting ecstasy. Masochism
is an empty udder. What was is a cipher. Pick
the rose over the injured dove. Pick warm waters.
Attend a circus. Go for the comic. There is nothing
more mediocre than the association of dysfunction with genius.
Indulge in color. Believe me, there is not a problem.
Plumb bright places for new symbols.
Recommendation: study evergreens.
Find me. We have much to talk about.
More of Me Disappears is a frank and earthy collection, one that embraces life with the lights on, unashamed of whatever the mirror decides to reflect. Like it's predecessor, it is a book I am sure to revisit often.
Not much there.......2005-11-05
If readers expect to find a title poem in this collection of 44 poems, they will be disappointed: The title comes from one of the closing lines in "Vacillations."
"Leaves are quaking on the branch.
Each day more of me disappears"
There's not much humanity left in that "me" any more, apparently.
Intense imagery stings, startles, and soothes...........2005-10-22
The brilliant contrasts found in John Amen's poetry are enhanced by his abilities as artist and musician. His words colorfully express the surreal and bitter, the heartwarming and expansive, all with a distinctive twist. Memorable lines stayed with me after this book had been set aside:
"this garden of wilted grace"
"the poison ivy of hollow hours"
"the ash and ember of our days"
"dogwood blossoms throb in the twilight"
Amen shares the joy of love, the sorrow of rejection. His use of imagery ranges from humorous to haunting to delightful:
Cicadas swarm like tourists; frogs
conspire behind every blade of grass.
The music of the iris is hard to withstand;
its purple song claws at my heart;
Amen fans are sure to relish this latest book. Poetry lovers unfamiliar with his work are in for an intense experience.

Book Description
Spanning the years since the 1995 publication of Heart's Geography: New & Selected Poems, these poems traverse distant lands, as well as the continent of the heart. In travels that take him through North America, Southeast Asia, the Himalayas, Vietnam, India and Mexico, Brandi engages the world with open eyes, ears and heart. Like Jack Kerouac, he "seeks source and renewal in new geographies and in the act of travel with its inevitable encounters and mysteries. He gets inside and outside things. Nothing passes him by. He's a seer, a person who looks, who retains an abiding curiosity and sympathy with special people and places."-David Meltzer

In What Disappears.......2003-04-28
As a follower of Brandi's work for years, I am excited for this new book, the first full-length collection in many years. Although in the opening poem Brandi expresses there's "Nothing to mark the way", the reader finds in these poems the sort of praise and grace that does just that. Because Brandi's road is open-ended and so full of discovery and richness, we, like the speaker in "Deep Motion Inside", can't help but realize "This vast, stretching impossibility is reachable." And reach, Brandi does: through poems that display wisdom that has been wrought from his many travels and the humans encountered on this earth that belongs to all of us...through nearly surreal poems that wrestle with "nights of anonymous desire", with letting "our hearts grow fierce in the wind", with the many other "yous". Herein are poems about writing, elegies, tributes to the living...all in all, a mighty book, a book to sink all of yourself into and emerge larger, enriched, fully named.
