Making Our Neighborhoods, Making Our Selves
Drawing on economics, sociology, geography, and psychology, Galster delivers a clear-sighted explanation of what neighborhoods are, how they come to be—and what they should be. Urban theorists have tried for decades to define exactly what a neighborhood is. But behind that daunting existential question lies a much murkier problem: never mind how you define them—how do you make neighborhoods productive and fair for their residents? In Making Our Neighborhoods, Making Our Selves, George C. Galster delves deep into the question of whether American neighborhoods are as efficient and equitable as they could be—socially, financially, and emotionally—and, if not, what we can do to change that. Galster aims to redefine the relationship between places and people, promoting specific policies that reduce inequalities in housing markets and beyond.

Justice in Your Court
Please take your seat in the jury box. Justice in Your Court provides you the opportunity to decide fifty real court cases and then compare your “verdict” with the actual court ruling. You decide if and when schools can host religious clubs, whether churchowned businesses can use “volunteers” to do the tasks paid employees also perform, if the police can view your property from a helicopter without a search warrant, what limitations the government can place on free speech, who was primarily negligent when a resident of a condominium building falls through the rooftop skylight, if a prisoner whose mental state is such that he can no longer remember the crime he committed should still be put to death, and many other controversial disputes. Each of the fifty cases has an unexpected twist and provides the reader with both an entertaining and educational perspective of our judicial system.
