Visions of the City
Visions of the City is a dramatic history of utopian urbanism in the twentieth century. It explores radical demands for new spaces and ways of living, and considers their effects on planning, architecture and struggles to shape urban landscapes. The author critically examines influential utopian approaches to urbanism in western Europe associated with such figures as Ebenezer Howard and Le Corbusier, uncovering the political interests, desires and anxieties that lay behind their ideal cities. He also investigates avant-garde perspectives from the time that challenged these conceptions of cities, especially from within surrealism. At the heart of this richly illustrated book is an encounter w...
Life After the Wife
A true, open, and honest version of events in my life after the wife. Its sexy, funny, informative, and emotional. Starting with a few pages of how I got to be who I am, not too in depth but enough to make your imagination work. Followed by how I got into escorting and what I got up to as an escort, moving on to my time on the Internet dating sites, how I got on with some women I met and how with some I didnt. I get on my soapbox every so often talking about benefits, money, and maintenance! I try my best to explain how to make your sex life better without trying to sound like I know it all because I certainly do not. I originally wrote this with men in mind that were separated or divorced, but the sexual advice is great for any couple especially married ones. LOL. People of all age ranges from over eighteen obviously have liked the samples of the book they have read and have given me great reviews. I hope you also enjoy it.

The Life of the City
Could the vitality of embodied experience create a foundation for a new form of revolutionary authority? The Life of the City is a bold and innovative reassessment of the early urban avant-garde movements that sought to re-imagine and reinvent the experiential life of the city. Constructing a ground-breaking theoretical analysis of the relationships between biological life, urban culture, and modern forms of biopolitical ’experiential authority’, Julian Brigstocke traces the failed attempts of Parisian radicals to turn the ’crisis of authority’ in late nineteenth-century Paris into an opportunity to invent new forms of urban commons. The most comprehensive account to date of the spat...

Literatures of Urban Possibility
This book demonstrates how city literature addresses questions of possibility. In city literature, ideas of possibility emerge primarily through two perspectives: texts may focus on what is possible for cities, and they may present the urban environment as a site of possibility for individuals or communities. The volume combines reflections on urban possibility from a range of geographical and cultural contexts—in addition to the English-speaking world, individual chapters analyse possible cities and possible urban lives in Turkey, Israel, Finland, Germany, Russia and Sweden. Moreover, by engaging with issues such as city planning, mass housing, gentrification, informal settlements and translocal identities, the book shows imaginative literature at work outlining what possibility means in cities.
Spaces of Vernacular Creativity
