During the glory days of Something Else Press (1964-1974), its founder, the poet, editor and scholar Dick Higgins created the Great Bear imprint to publish pamphlets that were quickly printed and easily disseminated, guaranteeing wide distribution and accessibility.

All pamphlets have been out of print since their original publications in the 1960s.

Résumé:
This book draws on international case study research to explain how changing approaches to evening and night-time activities have been conceptualized in planning practice in the UK. It explains how these ideas have been subverted by the entertainment industry to the point that some micro-districts in certain regenerated and creative cities have now been dubbed ‘no-go’ areas.
