After the Fall
Praise for After The Fall "Steve Bergsman provides his readers with one of the most comprehensive, yet concise overviews of real estate and all its property types."—Christopher Macke, Vice President, GE Real Estate "This is an extraordinary work of detailed research and compelling writing. I've never seen the subject presented in such a cogent and skillful manner."—Phil Hall, editor, Secondary Marketing Executive "The way out of the financial crash of 2007/2008 will come through skilled operations, astute investing, and the ability of real estate practitioners to give up their mental memory of the future! The heated success of ten-year, unprecedented growth in the real estate industry has somehow atrophied the industry's application of knowledge. What we need is a fresh look at opportunities and strategies for real estate investing. We are lucky that Bergsman's book has fit the bill—just in time."—Jack M. Cohen, CEO, Cohen Financial "Insightful and informative; connects all the dots, providing the basis and foundation for making strategic decisions about real estate."—Stephen Blank, Senior Fellow, Finance, The Urban Land Institute
Growing Up Levittown
One of the most successful and daring real estate developments in U.S. history was the building of Levittown, Long Island, in 1947. Although it became the prototype modern suburb, it was more reviled than appreciated during the first three decades of its existence. Intellectuals and critics attacked Levittown unmercifully, essentially calling it a boring environment that crushed the spirit of its population. Popular authors, such as Richard Yates, author of Revolutionary Road, used the modern suburb as a metaphor for creative sterility. When Pete Seeger sang, "Little boxes on the hillside, Little boxes made of tickytacky; Little boxes on the hillside, little boxes all the same," everyone kne...

The Wanderers - Killer Teens, Rebel Teens, Gang Teens and the Evolution of the Last Great Greaser Feature (hardback)
What in the cultural zeitgeist causes a movie to be made? Is it current affairs, a popular event or trend, a best-selling book, a genre of filmmaking or the will of a Hollywood director? In the case of the vastly entertaining cult movie, THE WANDERERS, from 1979, the answer would be all above. The setting of the movie is the Bronx, circa early in the 1960s, but the ambience is the unresolved 1950s when teen gangs frightened American urban dwellers and teenage behavior distressed parents everywhere. The popular singer Dion grew up in the Bronx during the 1950s and in 1961 he climbed the record charts with one of his biggest hits, THE WANDERER. The song struck a nerve in someone else who also ...

What a Difference a Day Makes
In What a Difference a Day Makes: Women Who Conquered 1950s Music, Steve Bergsman highlights the Black female artists of the 1950s, a time that predated the chart-topping girl groups of the early 1960s. Many of the singers of this era became wildly famous and respected, and even made it into the Rock ’n’ Roll Hall of Fame. However, there were many others, such as Margie Day, Helen Humes, Nellie Lutcher, Jewel King, and Savannah Churchill, who made one or two great records in the 1950s and then disappeared from the scene. The era featured former jazz and blues singers, who first came to prominence in the 1940s, and others who pioneered early forms of rock ’n’ roll. In a companion volu...
