I thought the book was good and had some good concepts but was a little hard to read. The pages have a lot of information on them and sometimes it made it hard to grasp the main concept on the pages. I think there are better books out there but there also are worse books. The book has strong sociological and historical themes of cities and social problems within the city.
Very interesting conclusions on various topics based in today's societies. The item is very well maintained and it looks like new. Good book to read and many interesting stories and descriptions.
school textbook- content feels kind of dated
If this book were made of gold, jade, and platinum it would still be vastly overpriced. Stop gouging hard working students. This book should be 35-40$ tops! As a scholar, you should be more interested in the quality of your arguments than how much you can make.
