Cities and Buildings: Skyscrapers, Skid Rows, and Suburbs (Creating the North American Landscape) - Hardcover
Writing in a conversational rather than a scholarly style, with a minimum of footnotes, urban geographer Ford bypasses the usual census data and socioeconomic categories to writes about "real" American cities and buildings tying together architectural and social history on the one hand, and some fundamental spatial patterns and processes on the other for urban geographers, social scientists, and other students of the American urban scene. Includes numerous b&w photos. Paper edition (unseen), $19.95. Annotation copyright Book News, Inc. Portland, Or.

Review:
"An ideal companion volume to any of the more traditional texts emphasizing urban-economic and urban-social geography... I've enjoyed reading the book, it is a useful addition to my urban bookshelf, and a wonderful source of information to add colorful anecdotes to my undergraduate urban geography course." -- Ian Maclachlan, H-Urban.
