Urban Life and Society

Summary: corrections by author
Review: Publishers blurb implies the book's review of urban history ends with the renissance period--not true!--book covers urbanization through the 20th and into the 21st century! The book mainly covers contemporary urban phenomena--everything beyond the second chapter through the sixteenth and last chaper deals with 19th, 20th, and 21st century urban themes and phenomena. Again, it's a book about modern urban sociology, with only one chapter on ancient, medieval, fuedal, and renaissance urban civilizations. I hope you can correct this misleading and very incomplete description of the books contents. Look at the contents and see for yourself!
