Global Investing for Maximum Profit and Safety is an adventurous guide to international investing; one might even say a reckless one. To the usual reasons for investing overseas--to diversify and to profit from fast growth in emerging markets--author Jerome Schneider adds a new one: to evade the law. His previous book, The Complete Guide to Offshore Money Havens, explained how to keep money away from ex-wives and creditors by stashing it in banks in discreet locales such as the island of Montserrat. This dodge, which Schneider euphemistically calls "wealth protection," is again on his mind but now with the aim of making that protected wealth grow. He touts the unique advantages of investing in mutual funds headquartered in foreign countries where regulation is lax. "Offshore funds can invest in absolutely anything they want," Schneider enthuses, because they "legally circumvent" the "overzealous review" of the Securities and Exchange Commission. This is supposed to be encouraging. Of course, offshore funds cannot legally sell shares to U.S. investors, so the help of an intermediary is needed. And Schneider is not above pointing out that he happens to operate such a service out of Vancouver, B.C. His hyped-up, overconfident, irresponsible book is little more than an infomercial. --Barry Mitzman.

Houston Mod's exhibition catalog, Booming Houston and the Modern House: The Residential Architecture of Neuhaus & Taylor, 1955-1960, describes and documents Houston architect Harwood Taylor's early and prolific practice. This phase in his career culminated in his designs for a series of Miesian inspired suburban courtyard houses and apartments built between 1955 and 1960 that were widely published in the local and national press.

Harwood Taylor (1927-1989) explored cutting-edge modern design from the late 1940s through the 1960s in Houston, Texas. He was a member of an informal local Miesian school of design inspired by Philip Johnson's house for Dominique and John de Menil of 1951. Taylor stood out in this group because of the ease with which he mixed the most avant-garde architectural design with the exigencies of everyday life of Houston's middle class and elite.

As with all activities of Houston Mod, we hope this exhibition will increase awareness in Houston of the importance of post-World War II modern architecture in Houston.

Booming Houston and the Modern House features an interpretive essay analyzing the design of the houses in their historical and cultural context. It includes new and historic photographs, along with never before published architectural drawings, all of which were on display in Houston Mod's exhibition of the same name held at the offices of the American Institute of Architects, Houston Chapter from 19 August through 6 October 2006.

The catalog was designed by Trina Bentley of Emblem Creative..
