To understand the evolution of bank design, it is also necessary to grasp the fundamentals of America's banking and financial history, which go hand-in-hand with the creation of bank architecture. While the worldwide evolution of architectural styles played a major factor in the way banks look, developments in the financial history of the nation--depressions, panics, government monetary and banking policy--also played a critical role. With more than 200 photographs and illustrations, this work studies the evolution of American bank architecture from 1781 (when America's first bank was founded) to new banks of the present day. It explores how and why the classically inspired structures built in late 18th century America, embodying strength and trust, evolved into the essentially anonymous bank buildings of today.

Monuments to the US War between the States romanticized the notion of the Confederacy. While these monuments came down early in the twenty-first century, it did not signal the end to the romantic ideas people held about the war, nor the existence of white supremacy. In the near future, Civil War reenactment events are still held, and, other than fist fights and drunken brawls, have been mostly violence-free. Until now. When Jenn’s employer is granted a contract at the country’s largest Civil War reenactment, she and the other managers, Paul, Jack, Mari, and Clarence, have to make some tough calls. Across the country, the event’s promoter and his main sponsor, a popular evangelical preacher, make plans for an event no one will soon forget. Thrown together, along with unlikely girlfriends, a doting congregant, and an unstable redneck, the characters are in for a deadly day of monumental terror. PRAISE FOR THE AUTHOR’S PREVIOUS NOVEL, BLM-PD: REVENGE WAS INEVITABLE: “I was captivated immediately. The characters are fleshed out (we all know a KJ and a Queen) the fast pace keeps you engaged all the way through and—without giving away anything—it’s satisfying to see karma in action." “BLM-PD is a page turner! Great characters, vivid visuals & writing that brings emotions. Love the book and the fact that it also provides real-life examples of what is happening in our world today. LOVE the female perspective through leadership, intelligence, resilience, friendship & power." "This book [BLM-PD] kept me engaged from the very start to the very end. It left me wanting more.”

Barry Todd is one of life’s good guys – everybody says so. He works hard for Monument Housing Association to provide the poor and vulnerable with a safe place to live. But, overlooked for promotion and with mounting financial problems, Barry starts to wonder if goodness will ever bring him its own reward. Then the opportunity presents itself to steal fifty thousand pounds of Monument’s money without anyone being able to trace the theft back to him, and Barry finds himself wondering – if nothing bad were to happen to anyone, would being good really matter anymore? When Monument tenant, Iulia Nicolescu, comes to Barry in desperate need of his help, he sees a chance to try and use some of his ill-gotten gains for good. But ultimately, he can no longer control the chain of events he has set in motion and, with his fate becoming ever more closely entwined with that of Iulia, he is forced into desperate measures to prevent his intricate web of deception from being revealed.

This illustrated two-volume history of Egypt, 'derived entirely from the monuments', was first published in an English translation in 1879. Brugsch brings to bear his wide experience of the archaeological sites together with his linguistic expertise, and deliberately eschews later Greek and Roman accounts of Egypt.
