DREAM STREET, </span>new from Heyday Books and the Inlandia Institute. Available through bookstores, major book distribut</font><font size="2">ors, or directly at <a href="http://heydaybooks.com" target="_blank">heydaybooks.com</a><br>
<br>A series of public events celebrate the launch of this important new book.<br><br><span style="font-weight: bold;">About the book: </span>"I won the right to name a street in southern California," writes author and photographer Douglas McCulloh. The chance win at a charity event launched McCulloh into an obsessive relationship with a 134-home subdivision being built in Southern California's Inland Empire. Captivated by the creation of this new neighborhood, he haunted the place he named Dream Street, chronicling the lives of builders, workers, and homebuyers with camera and tape recorder. McCulloh's captivating and timely work illuminates the history and fate of Dream Streets everywhere.</font><br>

Only in the novels of the opening of the Great Plains at the turn of
the century are the social, economic, and environmental forces that
shaped the making of a place so clearly drawn, and on so human a scale."<br> -D. J. Waldie</font><br><br><font size="2">"Dream Street is a disturbing yet moving portrait of lives indentured to the ruthless outdoor sweatshop known as the home construction industry.
