The United States Subprime Mortgage Crisis was a series of events and conditions that led to a financial crisis and subsequent recession that began in 2008. It was characterized by a rise in subprime mortgage delinquencies and foreclosures. The crisis had severe, long-lasting consequences for the U.S. economy. Between June 2007 and November 2008, Americans lost more than a quarter of their net worth. Nearly 9 million jobs were lost during 2008 and 2009, roughly 6% of the workforce. U.S. housing prices fell nearly 30%. Nevada was the worst-hit state in the country with one home foreclosure filing for every 23 households. The Sub-Prime Mortgage Bailout Coloring Book will introduce to the children of America the unprecedented burden imposed on them, and generations to come.

The Book Of Phyllis is another installment in the series of photography books by American artist LG Williams. The Book Of Your Name Here] series, originating in January 2015, is an artistic re-examination of the "miracle" of the daguerreotype photograph, in which the artist reaches back to the origins of photography. On August 19, 1839 the French Academy of Sciences announced the invention of the daguerreotype by the scene painter and physicist Louis-Jaques-Mande Daguerre (1787-1851). Word of the discovery spread swiftly, and the daguerreotype photography enjoyed great popularity until the 1850s, especially in America where the process was free from patent restrictions. While there was great demand for portraits captured by the "miracle" of photography, early daguerreotype technology had its shortcomings. The necessarily long exposure times that were required to capture an image, fifteen minutes on average under bright lights, led to necessarily inevitable lacunae in representing the subject. The resulting single image daguerreotypes are de facto composites of the lapsed long exposure time, but not, as was purported, scientifically captured replicas of both time and image. This publication and series presents an opportunity for Williams to provide an artistic, political, and social perspective on the missing truths, images, and loss of time that occurred during the age of Daguerre. In other words, each book from this single-portrait-series consists of hundreds of continuous images during a fifteen-minute stretch of time, or just about as many images as the artist could take as fast as possible using his out-dated FujiFilm FinePix Z70 3-MP Digital Camera. From this historical perspective, Williams' series points to the limitations of daguerreotype photography with the seemingly limitless possibilities of contemporary analogue-image capture and production.

LG Williams is a vivid storyteller. He has written another characteristically startling fresh book with a provocatively happy ending. You can not read a book more enthralling, more moving, more unforgettably illumined by profoundly human truths than these poems on the rise, the fall, and the ultimate redemption of first-rate American stereotypes. Particularly impressive are LG's passions, allegiances and assessments, which are finally being heralded after years of recrimination, marginalization and slander. Is this really LG Williams, the blinding beacon in the dank, dark, sticky folds of the derailed and overturned contemporary psyche? Perhaps he's right. Perhaps narcolepsy, hypocrisy, alcohol and sentimentality - forget divine intervention or scientific logic -are the perversely simple secret survival codes for the everyday American "raison d'eter".

THE CITY OF ANGELS is fascinating reading Eyes will stay glued to its pages and millions of people from all over the world will find themselves stopping often to think about these seemingly simple statements. You will learn a lot. And some of it will be hard to take because it makes one look critically at their views of the world and their many preconceived ideas. If anything, LG Williams demonstrates that there are many sides to every aesthetic condition. And few have ever taken a careful in-depth look at this before.Most of THE CITY OF ANGELS is easy to follow. However, a lot has to do with art and philosophy, which people always find confusing. Most people, therefore, will have no idea whether his arguments on these topics are valid or not. But when it comes to human nature, he's an expert. LG understands love, greed, the desire for power and the horrendous amount of death and destruction that has always existed. Professor Williams also understands the need to try to fight oppressive forces and make the world a better place to live. This is what THE CITY OF ANGELS wants to happen. This gives THE CITY OF ANGELS a second halo - a halo of hope.Even though most of the book turns a bright spotlight on all the love that exists in the world, in most cities and towns, LG would be met with a firing squad instead of an audience which cherishes his every word. But basically, the relatively accessibility of THE CITY OF ANGELS is a welcome balance to Williams's often formidable scholarly writings. This is a book best taken in doses: a sort of bedside reader.

LG Williams may not have been the first alternative poet ever. But, Hated and Feared, his newest book of poems, may be one of the best poetry books of our generation. In any even, one thing cannot be denied: Hated and Feared is the book that makes it all possible. Anyone who enjoys poetry knows what sprang from Williams "golden age," and they owe s something to this book. Evening reading it a decade from now will be an experience. Its poetry bombards your ears with an assault of punk energy, tempered by just enough pop sensibility to make it extremely enjoyable and tremendously good at the same time.
