Summary: Post Modern Mania
Comment: I thought this book gave a wonderful account of the development of American cities in a text book format. I enjoyed Knox's post modern slant on the process of urbanization.

Rating: 1
Summary: Unimpressive
Comment: The level of detail and generality would make this book suitable for a lower-level undergrad course on urban planning or urban geography. However, even as someone who has completed an advanced degree, I found this book to be extremely difficult to follow. The topics covered are good; the photographs are well done. But the text itself is hard to understand. The logic of the author's argumentation is faulty in some places. Several diagrams left me clueless because there was not enough supporting documentation to interpret them. On the bright side, I did like his suggested portfolio assignments at the end of every chapter. If you can find a better book for your course, use it. Otherwise, this one will have to do.
