Résumé:
Urban gambling, linked to poverty, crime and corruption, was once considered a blight on U.S. cities. Gambling then followed the exodus of Americans into the suburbs after World War II, and now most Americans live within a four-hour drive of a casino. What explains the success of places like Las Vegas? The self-contained casino resort removes gambling and its social problems from cities and provides Americans the comfort of gambling in a setting matched to their suburban lifestyle. In a detailed look at the growth of the earliest casino resorts to the "pleasure palaces" and riverboat casinos of today, "Suburban Xanadu" locates the rise of the casino resort in suburbanization and the significance of this development for today.

Résumé:
"Reviving America's forgotten neighborhoods" brings a new angle to the urban redevelopment discussion by expanding the definition of successful revitalization beyond higher property values and income levels. In this important work, Elise Bright argues for a more holistic approach to measuring community development. In-depth case studies on a range of American cities--including Seattle, Milwaukee, the Twin Cities, Boston, and Pittsburgh--examine both successes and failures of inner city revitalization efforts. Drawing on field research and interviews with a variety of subject-city officials, planners, community activists and residents, Bright shows how factors such as communication between residents, shelter, and a feeling of safety can help save even the most devastated neighbourhoods.

Résumé:
Drawing from the ideas of critical geography and based on extensive archival research, Cole brilliantly reconstructs the formation of the Jewish ghetto during the Holocaust, focusing primarily on the ghetto in Budapest, Hungary - one of the largest created during the war, but rarely examined. Cole maps the city illustrating how spaces - cafes, theaters, bars, bathhouses - became divided in two. Throughout the book, Cole discusses how the creation of this Jewish ghetto, just like the others being built across occupied Europe, tells us a great deal about the nature of Nazism; what life was like under Nazi-occupation; and the role the ghetto actually played in the Final Solution.
