Summertime
"I want to be a missionary," fifteen-year-old Fauntie proclaimed to the congregation in her small Minnesota town. In 1961, after years of preparation and training, she traveled to Argentina with her husband and three small children to fulfill that dream. Things didn't go precisely as planned. Summertime: Memoir of a Missionary Wife tells a captivating tale of the challenges that arise when attempting to realize one's dreams—and the seeds that are sown when meeting those challenges with creativity and faith. "What compels someone to follow her faith—halfway around the world—with the desire to share it with others? How does a person know if her work is making an impact? What is learned and what is lost in moving far from home in service of an ideal? Summertimeinvestigates these and other thought-provoking questions as it tells the true story of Fauntie, a young woman in the 1960s who embarks on the journey of a lifetime." —A. D. Nauman, author of Down the Steep

Since it was first published in 1994, The Economics of Historic Preservation: A Community Leaders Guide has become an essential reference for any preservationist faced with convincing government officials, developers, property owners, business and community leaders, or his or her own neighbors that preservation strategies can make good economic sense. Author Donovan D. Rypkemareal estate consultant and nationally known speaker and writermakes his case with 100 "arguments" on the economic benefits of historic preservation, each backed up by one or more quotes from a study, paper, publication, speech, or report. In this eagerly awaited 2005 edition, he gives these arguments even more clout by adding new information and insights gained in the last decade. Count on Rypkema to be entertaining, provocative, and convincing as he describes and demonstrates how strategies that include preservation help communities make cost-effective use of resources, create jobs, provide affordable housing, revive downtowns, build tourism, attract new businesses and workers, and more.
