Planning and LGBTQ Communities
Although the last decade has seen steady progress towards wider acceptance of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgendered, and queer (LGBTQ) individuals, LGBTQ residential and commercial areas have come under increasing pressure from gentrification and redevelopment initiatives. As a result many of these neighborhoods are losing their special character as safe havens for sexual and gender minorities.

The Queens Nobody Knows
Bill Helmreich walked every block of New York City--some six-thousand miles--to write the award-winning The New York Nobody Knows. Later, he re-walked most of Queens--1,012 miles in all--to create this one-of-a-kind walking guide to the city's largest borough, from hauntingly beautiful parks to hidden parts of Flushing's Chinese community. Drawing on hundreds of conversations he had with residents during his block-by-block journey through this fascinating, diverse, and underexplored borough, Helmreich highlights hundreds of facts and points of interest that you won't find in any other guide. In Bellerose, you'll explore a museum filled with soul-searing artwork created by people with mental illness. In Douglaston, you'll gaze up in awe at the city's tallest tree. In Corona, you'll discover the former synagogue where Madonna lived when she first came to New York. In St. Albans, you'll see the former homes of jazz greats, including Count Basie, Ella Fitzgerald, and Billie Holiday. In Woodhaven, you'll walk a block where recent immigrants from Mexico, Guyana, and China all proudly fly the American flag. And much, much more.
Mission Mururoa
The scene is set when Lazarus Tretiiak, a Physics Professor and four of his students at the French University of the Pacific in Tahiti decide to hijack an advanced deep-ocean submersible and its research vessel. The activists are determined to use the submersible to photograph the Mururoa Atoll near Tahiti to prove to the world that dangerous radionucleides from previous atomic testing are leaking into the South Pacific. To force the commander of the submersible tender, Admiral Alain Gagnon, to travel to the Mururoa Atoll the activists involve the Admiral´s stepdaughter, Terri´i. The result is a fast-pitched adventure matching Jacques L´Amareau, Head of the French equivalent of the CIA against the ringleader of the nuclear protestors.
New York Magazine
