George Breed began walking the paths, streets, and back alleys of Flagstaff, Arizona, in 2009. He had no car and did not want one. Retired from his previous life as a psychologist, martial artist, Marine, and trail hiker, he could roam wherever his spirit and feet took him. He saw sights about which car dwellers, even those who had lived in Flagstaff for years, knew nothing. He quickly added a camera to his daily stroll, to capture and share what he saw. As he walked, he became friends with this mountain town's street people, business owners, politicians, river runners, canyon hikers, buskers, street musicians and photographers, artists of paint and jewelry and acrobatics. The soul of the city made itself known to him. Through this unique book of images, he makes Flagstaff known to readers, who will come away charmed by the artist and his hometown.

The Man in the Dog Park offers the reader a rare window into homeless life. Spurred by a personal relationship with a homeless man who became her co-author, Cathy A. Small takes a compelling look at what it means and what it takes to be homeless. Interviews and encounters with dozens of homeless people lead us into a world that most have never seen. We travel as an intimate observer into the places that many homeless frequent, including a community shelter, a day labor agency, a panhandling corner, a pawn shop, and a HUD housing office. Through these personal stories, we witness the obstacles that homeless people face, and the ingenuity it takes to negotiate life without a home. The Man in the Dog Park points to the ways that our own cultural assumptions and blind spots are complicit in US homelessness and contribute to the degree of suffering that homeless people face. At the same time, Small, Kordosky and Moore show us how our own sense of connection and compassion can bring us into touch with the actions that will lessen homelessness and bring greater humanity to the experience of those who remain homeless. The raw emotion of The Man in the Dog Park will forever change your appreciation for, and understanding of, the homeless life so many deal with outside of the limelight of contemporary society.
