City Lights: Urban-Suburban Life in the Global Society

A great book I got for a college course.

This book is extremely interesting for people who want to understand how the cities work. Especially United States cities and, for someone like me (inter exchange student) it helped me to realize many historical aspects of the States. I highly recommend this for those who study Anthropology and Global Societies. And this purchase was really good, the book was still in good shape

I bought this book for my daughter who lives in Chicago. In the 80's Barbara Phillips was my inspiring teacher at San Francisco State. We used the second edition then, long before globalization. I am sure my daughter who is a global director of an international company will enjoy this edition as much as the 2nd ed. opened my eyes to the interconnectedness of urban phenomena.

The book came on time and in excellent condition. This was important since it was for a summer school class that was short and started with material from the book right away.
