From Words To Worlds
From feeling like a maggot which spreads diseases, to the feeling of euphoria as it is raining. From the doubt of all that can be doubt, to the faithful belief in romance. - Parted in four chapters, this book illustrates an inner conflict James Andrew Crosby went through. Each poem can be seen as its own tale, or can be connected to all others. However, what you, the reader, interpret, is yours to decide.
As Safe As Houses
A book of inspiration, motivation and the plain truth in the property, construction, architecture, development and real estate industries. In this light-hearted dose of satire and trusim, Crosby unearths illuminating proverbs from real estate's billionaire club and revealing maxims from industry stalwarts. Drawing on a life persevering in property, he even attempts his own literary imagery. This book is coffee table fodder for every business in the real estate and building industry. If you sell, market, invest, develop, fund, build, manage, engineer, design or simply love architecture and reading about lavish lifestyles, falls from grace and theories of leadership then this book has words for you (literally!). Quotes to inspire and learn from. Metaphors to make you think twice. All with the power to hit home harder than a two ton wrecking ball ! And they say it's as safe as houses... For those wanting more this is a book of primarily quotes, interesting factoids and opinions. Evenso for those in real estate and development this book is a must read.
Policing Indigenous Movements
In recent years, Indigenous peoples have lead a number of high profile movements fighting for social and environmental justice in Canada. From land struggles to struggles against resource extraction, pipeline development and fracking, land and water defenders have created a national discussion about these issues and successfully slowed the rate of resource extraction. But their success has also meant an increase in the surveillance and policing of Indigenous peoples and their movements. In Policing Indigenous Movements, Crosby and Monaghan use the Access to Information Act to interrogate how policing and other security agencies have been monitoring, cataloguing and working to silence Indigen...
Creativity and Performance in Industrial Organization

House, Land, Love and Money
Property or Real Estate development is an exciting business. It attracts the most entrepreneurial risk takers and larger than life characters. The reward to those who do it successfully is simple. Profit. However, to be profitable over the long term it takes a lot of hard work, countless difficult decisions and a balancing act akin to that shown in famous photos of those construction workers walking the steel beam at the top of a 1920s New York skyscraper. This book presents what it takes to create, deliver and profit from house and land development. For first time developers or development managers, this book is your 'how to' user manual to keep as a handy reference. It will give you a comp...
Resisting Eviction
Resisting Eviction centres tenant organizing in its investigation of gentrification, eviction and the financialization of rental housing. Andrew Crosby argues that racial discrimination, property relations and settler colonialism inform contemporary urban (re)development efforts and impacts affordable housing loss. How can the City of Ottawa aspire to become “North America’s most liveable mid-sized city” while large-scale, demolition-driven evictions displace hundreds of people and destroy a community? Troubling discourses of urban liveability, revitalization and improvement, Crosby examines the deliberate destruction of home—domicide—and tenant resistance in the Heron Gate neighbo...
