I got this book for a class but I was pleasantly surprised that it was easier to get through than a lot of textbooks. Has a lot of random but interesting facts and a good number a photos to break up the text.

don't buy unless you wanna cry (of boredom) same subject for 15ish chapters over and over and over and over and over and over. Get it?

A very accessible book for those interested in the social and political motives that drive the ever shifting landscape of our cities and environments. The prose is sharp and concise, resulting in a textbook that comes across as impactful yet never overwhelming. The use of charts, graphs, diagrams and other visual support do much to support the text and give a clearer sense of what the author attempts to illustrate. However those looking for a deep read should consider another text which further breaks down the motives of socio-economic and socio-political trends as this seems more like an introductory text that covers the general concepts. Those interested in research paper sources should look to "The New Urban Sociology" by Mark Gottdiener and Ray Hutchison.

this is a great book if you would like to know how the city and others cities have changed . the many changes you will learn about is transportation, the economy, population and anything else ther is to do with the world changes.

The book I ordered looked like it had already falled apart and was put back together. I thought well thats alright I'm recycling but as soon as I started using it, after a couple days the book fell apart! The book was put back together in the worst way.

My book arrived early and in exactly the condition advertised. I appreciate your service and will shop here again whenever possible.

The seller was contacted, but gave no response. Seller kept the money and never sent the book.
