Urban Geography explores the roles played by global cities, governments and institutions in forming and changing urban landscapes. Placing the North American and European city within a changing set of global economic and urban systems, the book examines how systems impact on the lives and the geographies of cities. With case studies on Los Angeles, Detroit, Syracuse, Cleveland, and extended comparisons on a number of cities, including Chicago and New York, this book shows how urban centers have become increasingly entrepreneurial by fashioning new landscapes and images in response to economic and cultural globalization. Uban Geography offers enlightened perspectives on the challenges cities face.

More than simply examining the new geographical patterns forming within cities, this third edition of Urban Geography also investigates the way geographers have sought to make sense of this urban transformation. Tim Hall critically synthesizes key literatures in the following areas: <ul>
<li>approaches to urban geography</li> <li>economic geography of the city</li> <li>urban policy</li> <li>new urban forms and landscapes</li> <li>impacts of urban change </li> <li>sustainability and the city.</li>
</ul>
Hall's revised third edition features enhanced pedagogy including boxed discussion points, end of chapter research questions, and an introductory chapter which outlines the importance of urban geography. Additionally a new concluding chapter encourages students to apply what they have read to their own experiences of cities and helps them to apply these ideas to a dissertation. An important volume, this revised edition is an essential read for students and scholars of urban geography.

This extensively revised and updated fourth edition not only examines the new geographical patterns forming within and between cities, but also investigates the way geographers have sought to make sense of this urban transformation. It is structured into three sections: 'contexts', 'themes' and 'issues' that move students from a foundation in urban geography through its major themes to contemporary and pressing issues. The text critically synthesizes key literatures in the following areas: <ul>
<li>the urban world </li> <li>changing approaches to urban geography </li> <li>urban form and structure </li> <li>economy and the city </li> <li>urban politics </li> <li>planning, regeneration and urban policy </li> <li>cities and culture </li> <li>architecture and urban landscapes </li> <li>images of the city </li> <li>experiencing the city </li> <li>housing and residential segregation </li> <li>transport and mobility in cities </li> <li>sustainability and the city.</li>
</ul>
The fourth edition combines the topicality and accessibility of previous editions with extensive new material, including many new chapters such as the urban world and politics, housing and Residential Segregation, and transport in cities, as well as a wealth of international case studies, extending its range of coverage across the field. This book features enhanced pedagogy including a range of new illustrations and tables, a list of key ideas for each chapter, end of chapter essay questions and project activities, and annotated further reading from books, journals and websites. Written in an engaging, student friendly style, this is an essential read for students and scholars of Urban Geography.

SUPERANNO Thirty days sober, an inescapable ex-lover, and the terrible secret that tore them apart turns this novel of addiction on its head. A deliciously dry and suprisingly poignant Gen-X love story reveals the horror of sobriety, the search for identity, and a struggle for transformation just when it's needed the most. Original.

In the mid-1990s in New York's gritty East Village, a group of artists, activists, and dreamers come together to create the Troglodyte, a freewheeling, anarchic newspaper in the spirit of the underground press of the 1960s. When tragedy unexpectedly strikes, tensions explode into outright hostility, as two camps form and fight for the hearts and minds of the neighborhood.

Half Empty is a story of romance and its repercussions among hipsters in Brooklyn. A young man named Dennis, newly sober, becomes entangled in two romantic triangles: with the ex-girlfriend who represents his wilder, freer past, and the cool, aloof heiress who represents a comfortable-but more controlled-future. As the three lovers jockey for power and position, deceiving themselves and each other, Dennis must finally acknowledge the painful truth about his past that he has been running from, forcing him to either confront his demons or allow them to destroy him. This new, remastered edition restores the original ending of the book with four additional chapters and includes a new introduction by the author.
