Editorial Reviews
Review
"The most refreshing, provacative, stimulating and exciting study of this [great problem] which I have seen. It fairly crackles with bright honesty and common sense."
—Harrison Salisbury, The New York Times
"One of the most remarkable books ever written about the city... a primary work. The research apparatus is not pretentious—it is the eye and the heart—but it has given us a magnificent study of what gives life and spirit to the city."
—William H. Whyte, author of The Organization Man
From the Trade Paperback edition.
Review
"The liveliness of her mind is a joy to behold, as is her common sense and a prose style uncluttered with the litter of empty jargon...her book is well and timely met." - The Globe and Mail
"This is vintage Jane Jacobs: quietly authoritative, profoundly accessible, and disdainful of the blinkered viewpoints of academic theorists." - The Calgary Herald
"Witty, beautifully written--the culmination of Jacobs' previous thinking, and a step forward that deftly invokes a broader philosophical, even metaphysical, context." - Publishers Weekly
"Jane Jacobs has become more than a person. She is an adjective." - Toronto Life
From the Trade Paperback edition. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
