Produktbeschreibung
Like many other cities in the United States, Grand Rapids, Michigan has struggled with redeveloping its economic identity after the devastation of the Great Recession of 2008. Last Chance Mile: The Reinvention of an American Community demonstrates how Grand Rapids has been redefined as a hub for the greatest scientific minds in the world by developing what has come to be called the "Medical Mile." The Medical Mile is cluster of prosperity that is anchored by a world-renowned research institute, a major healthcare organization, a Big Ten medical school, an allied health professions program at a nearby university, and an entrepreneurial incubator where new medical device and life sciences businesses are being born. None of this existed until a $1 billion donation from Jay Andel changed not only the way the world views Grand Rapids, but how the community views itself. It has been a long journey of self-discovery for Grand Rapids that could serve as inspiration for other American communities.

Autorenporträt
It's all about the story, as far as Rod Kackley is concerned. Whether it's Shocking True Crime Stories or one of his many works of fiction. Rod wants to keep you turning pages and reading incredible tales of criminals, their victims, and their capture. Spoiler alert: No matter how long it takes, the bad guys rarely win. But it's the criminal who is often the most compelling character. That's true whether it's "Mommy Deadliest," the story of a woman who kills her children, or ?The Murder of Thora Chamberlain,? the story of a teenage girl and her kidnapper. In Rod's world of fiction, he spins yarns about ?The Coffee Shoppe Killer, a woman who kills her lovers when they disappoint her. A teenage girl wraps a serial killer around her finger in ?Go Big or Go Dead.? Then there's ?The Murder of Emma Brown,? where two young women go out to party one night, and one only returns home. Written in Kalamazoo, Michigan, Rod's books and stories allow his readers to brush up against the world of crime without getting hurt. And it's a heck of a ride!
