Victorian London
The Tale of a City 1840--1870
Liza Picard
St. Martin's Griffin
"The author freezes a three-decade time frame to capture the essence—literally, the sights, sounds, and odors—of the British capital at the height of the Victorian era. Picard's systematic examination offers both detail and insight into conditions of life, from all
walks
of life, as she presents an account at once greatly factual and highly atmospheric. The format is logical and the material easy to follow, with chapters ranging in topic from 'Smells' (to really appreciate London back then, the author instructs the reader to 'think of the worst smell you have ever met'), 'The Streets,' 'Destitution and Poverty,' 'Upper Classes and Royalty,' 'Health,' 'Education,' and 'Religion' . . . [F]or serious and well-versed readers seeking to stoke their interest in learning more about the city that, at the time, was the
world's
capital."—

Welcome to the Urban Revolution
How Cities Are Changing the World
Jeb Brugmann
Bloomsbury Press
“Brugmann provides compelling evidence of an often invisible connection between globalization and urbanization. In the process he shines a new light on large cities and urban slums. He shows that slums are dynamic and well functioning economic hubs. Drawing on an exhaustive supply of first hand knowledge, he is about to change the conversation about globalization, economic development, city planning and poverty. If you are interested in challenges of the 21st century, this book is for you.”
—C.K. Prahalad, Paul and Ruth McCracken Distinguished University Professor, Ross School of Business, the University of Michigan, author of
The Fortune at the Bottom of the Pyramid: Eradicating Poverty through Profits
