Book Description
Excerpt from Florida Days But to-day, no one is left behind; every one has been everywhere and seen everything, so that information is as unnecessary as it is tiresome. Indeed, the Aux/107 who under any amiable dis guise might venture to instruct, would be instantly detected as an encumbrance, named occasionally in a less dignified manner, and when not received with compassionate amusement (or ignored) would find his well-meaning volume labelled Gui'n'e-eoo/c and thrust upon the dusty upper shelf of a book-shop. Instruction, like an unused garment, has become old-fashioned, and fallen into wrinkles and decay. All is said, and there is nothing new under the sun' About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

A Land Remembered has become Florida's favorite novel. Now this Student Edition in two volumes makes this rich, rugged story of the American pioneer spirit more accessible to young readers. Patrick Smith tells of three generations of the MacIveys, a Florida family battling the hardships of the frontier.

Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
Richard Florida, one of the world's leading urbanists and author of The Rise of the Creative Class, confronts the dark side of the back-to-the-city movement In recent years, the young, educated, and affluent have surged back into cities, reversing decades of suburban flight and urban decline. and yet all is not well. In The New Urban Crisis, Richard Florida, one of the first scholars to anticipate this back-to-the-city movement, demonstrates how the forces that drive urban growth also generate cities' vexing challenges, such as gentrification, segregation, and inequality. Meanwhile, many more cities still stagnate, and middle-class neighborhoods everywhere are disappearing. We must rebuild cities and suburbs by empowering them to address their challenges. The New Urban Crisis is a bracingly original work of research and analysis that offers a compelling diagnosis of our economic ills and a bold prescription for more inclusive cities capable of ensuring prosperity for all.
