Editorial Review:
This book provides a coherent, comprehensive introduction to urban geography. It offers a historical and process-oriented approach with a North American focus that also provides a global context and comparative international perspective. From a global perspective, the authors examine urban trends and their outcomes in both the developed and the less developed countries in order to understand, analyze, and interpret the landscapes, economies, and communities of towns and cities around the world.

A mixed bag 2005-09-23
Book was in good condition, more or less as reflected in the price. However, it took a week and a half to arrive. My previous mail experience with Amazon book sellers has been much better -- none have taken more than 5 days for delivery.


Unimpressive 2004-09-15
The level of detail and generality would make this book suitable for a lower-level undergrad course on urban planning or urban geography. However, even as someone who has completed an advanced degree, I found this book to be extremely difficult to follow. The topics covered are good; the photographs are well done. But the text itself is hard to understand. The logic of the author's argumentation is faulty in some places. Several diagrams left me clueless because there was not enough supporting documentation to interpret them. On the bright side, I did like his suggested portfolio assignments at the end of every chapter. If you can find a better book for your course, use it. Otherwise, this one will have to do.



Post Modern Mania 2003-03-07
I thought this book gave a wonderful account of the development of American cities in a text book format. I enjoyed Knox's post modern slant on the process of urbanization.
