Winner of Balsillie Prize for Public Policy Winner of Donner Prize A challenge to prevailing ideas about innovation and a guide to identifying the best growth strategy for your community. Across the world, cities and regions have wasted trillions of dollars on blindly copying the Silicon Valley model of growth creation. Since the early years of the information age, we've been told that economic growth derives from harnessing technological innovation. To do this, places must create good education systems, partner with local research universities, and attract innovative hi-tech firms. We have lived with this system for decades, and the result is clear: a small number of regions and cities at the top of the high-tech industry but many more fighting a losing battle to retain economic dynamism. But are there other models that don't rely on a flourishing high-tech industry? In Innovation in Real Places, Dan Breznitz argues that there are. The purveyors of the dominant ideas on innovation have a feeble understanding of the big picture on global production and innovation. They conflate innovation with invention and suffer from techno-fetishism. In their devotion to start-ups, they refuse to admit that the real obstacle to growth for most cities is the overwhelming power of the real hubs, which siphon up vast amounts of talent and money. Communities waste time, money, and energy pursuing this road to nowhere. Breznitz proposes that communities instead focus on where they fit in the four stages in the global production process. Some are at the highest end, and that is where the Clevelands, Sheffields, and Baltimores are being pushed toward. But that is bad advice. Success lies in understanding the changed structure of the global system of production and then using those insights to enable communities to recognize their own advantages, which in turn allows to them to foster surprising forms of specialized innovation. As he stresses, all localities have certain advantages relative to at least one stage of the global production process, and the trick is in recognizing it. Leaders might think the answer lies in high-tech or high-end manufacturing, but more often than not, they're wrong. Innovation in Real Places is an essential corrective to a mythology of innovation and growth that too many places have bought into in recent years. Best of all, it has the potential to prod local leaders into pursuing realistic and regionally appropriate models for growth and innovation.

Cash Braddock thought everything was great. Her drug business sold for a nice chunk. She’s opening an art gallery. And she’s finally free of the Sacramento Police Department. But then the mother she hasn’t seen in twenty-three years knocks on her door. And Laurel Kallen, the ex-girlfriend who broke her heart, rolls into town. Oh, and Laurel has a message: Cash’s former business partner is back and wants to kill them both. Which is a real bummer. Cash is no stranger to the consequences of her poor decisions, but this time everyone and everything she loves might pay the price.
Preserved on the pages of this book are the histories of many people who have walked the land of Elk Grove, Sacramento County California at various times from the 1850s through some of the earliest years of the 21st century. The book was a private project by Elk Grove Citizen Lifestyle Editor Lance Armstrong, who spent more than three years collecting historical information via interviews, historical records and compiling one of Elk Groves most extensive collections of historical photographs. The book itself includes more than 1,200 of these images. As the first book ever written entirely about the history of Elk Grove, Echoes of yesterday chronicles various sites of the area and reveals its connection to agriculture and several well-known historical places and events such as the Monterey Trail, the Bear Flag Revolt and the first county free library in California. People mentioned in the book include a Pony Express rider, survivors and rescuers of the Donner Party, and the land and title attorney of the Big Four, who engineered the building of the Central pacific railroad, the western portion of the first Transcontinental Railroad. The 38 chapters of this book include: ELk Grove High School, Amundsons Theaters, the Elk Grove Airport, Bobs Club, Foulks Ranch, Elk Grove Regional Park, the Elk Grove Cemetery and the Odd Fellows Building. Echoes of Yesterday has been described as a must have book for residents ofElk Grove and is certainly a great asset for anyone interested in reading about the Gold Rush era to modern day history is California.
