Global Perspectives on Urbanization
The emerging and continuing challenge of cities and urbanization has become a forefront in current global concerns. Professors George Pomeroy and Gerald Webster's book, Global Perspectives on Urbanization, addresses an expanse of challenges related to poverty and the environment. From Mexico City to Eastern Europe and from the slum dwellers to gentrification, this book offers a global perspective. Drawing from research in both developed and developing world contexts, each chapter provides the reader with viewpoints from recognized global leaders in the field. Empirically well-founded, this study appeals to urbanists and planners, geographers and sociologists, as well as those generally interested in urban studies. Analyzing historical perspectives, the roles of universities and research, globalization, and poverty (among many others), this comprehensive book provides a thoroughly researched wealth of information.

Jerry by Jean Webster
Jerry Junior Jean Webster
he courtyard of the Hotel du Lac, furnished with half a dozen tables and chairs, a red and green parrot chained to a perch, and a shady little arbor covered with vines, is a pleasant enough place for morning coffee, but decidedly too sunny for afternoon tea. It was close upon four of a July day, when Gustavo, his inseparable napkin floating from his arm, emerged from the cool dark doorway of the house and scanned the burning vista of tables and chairs. He would never, under ordinary circumstances, have interrupted his siesta for the mere delivery of a letter; but this particular letter was addressed to the young...
Summary of Ralph Webster's a Smile in One Eye
Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 My fifth winter, I had mastered the skill of riding a sled on my own. With luck and good fortune, December of 1927 in Preussisch Holland was filled with snow beyond the imagination. I had finally discovered the competing wonders of independence and daring. #2 When I was ten, I had a sled that I shared with my friends. We would race down the hill, and I would always win. The sled was my favorite Christmas gift, and I spent many winters with it. #3 By 1941, war had turned our worlds upside down. Our families were now enemies. I had fled to Scotland and joined the British Army, while Ruth and her parents stayed in Elbing and served as German soldiers. #4 I learned about my father’s sled when I became a grandparent. He had used it in East Prussia in 1927, and I guess he was feeling sentimental as we walked along the beach. I never thought to ask where or when he learned to sled.
The Conservative Heartland
In the wake of the 2016 presidential election there was widespread shock that the Midwest, the Democrats’ so-called blue wall, had been so effectively breached by Donald Trump. But the blue wall, as The Conservative Heartland makes clear, was never quite as secure as so many observers assumed. A deep look at the Midwest’s history of conservative politics, this timely volume reveals how conservative victories in state houses, legislatures, and national elections in the early twenty-first century, far from coming out of nowhere, in fact had extensive roots across decades of political organization in the region. Focusing on nine states, from Iowa and the Dakotas to Indiana and Ohio, the ess...
