Résumé:
This unique book is comprehensive both in terms of time coverage, from before the Pharaohs to the present moment and in that it tries to consider cities from the entire continent, not just Sub-Saharan Africa. Apart from factual information and rich description material culled from many sources, it looks at many issues from why urban life emerged in the first place to how present-day African cities cope in difficult times. Instead of seeing towns and cities as somehow extraneous to the real Africa, it views them as an inherent part of developing Africa, indigenous, colonial, and post-colonial and emphasizes the extent to which the future of African society and African culture will likely be played out mostly in cities. The book is written to appeal to students of history but equally to geographers, planners, sociologists and development specialists interested in urban problems.

Résumé:
South Asia holds a unique place among the many regions of the world where modern architecture was understood as both a tool for social progress and a global lingua franca in the second half of the 20th century. Following the end of British rule in 1947-48, architects in the newly formed nations of India, Pakistan, Bangladesh (East Pakistan until 1971) and Ceylon (now Sri Lanka) proposed a novel understanding of modernity, disrupting the colonial hierarchy of center and periphery by challenging modernism's universalist claims. Architecture offered multiple ways to break with the colonial past. Through the establishment of institutions that embodied the societal aspirations of the period, and the creation of new cities and spaces for political representation, South Asian architects produced a distinct body of work in dialogue with global developments while advancing the theory and practice of low-cost, climatically and socially responsive design.

Résumé:
The phenomenon we know as "The Hamptons" — the epitome of high society, leisure, and affluence, the place of worldly glamour and every pleasure, natural and unnatural, that money can buy — began as a group of Puritan villages along Long Island's south shore before it was discovered at the end of the 19th century by artists and the fashionably rich. The earliest social Hamptonites, descendents of colonial aristocracy, mingled with the colorful characters of the art colonies. Here the rich built fashionable and expansive summer houses where they enjoyed carefree recreation, artistic endeavors, and elegant social occasions. "Houses of the Hamptons, 1880-1930", explores more than 30 houses, many designed by some of America's leading architects. Less enamored with the showy grandeur typical of Newport's golden age, the wealthy Hamptonites built summer places that were an ensemble of exceptional architectural variety and achievement. Here, American Colonial, half-timbered Tudor, and red brick Georgian vied with shingled cottages and Mediterranean fantasy.
