Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:Cities and Urban Life, authored by two of the best known textbook writers in the field, provides a comprehensive introduction to urban sociology, urban anthropology, and urban studies. Primarily sociological in approach, this book incorporates historical, social psychological, geographical, and anthropological insights. While strong in the classical urban sociology, it also gives extensive attention to the new political economy approach to urban studies. The text provides an introduction to the city, the history of cities and new trends, disciplinary perspectives, the anatomy of the city and the planning and evaluation of cities. For individuals interested in urban sociology, urban political economy and urban anthropology. Book News Annotation:A textbook for a sociology course on city life, combining the ideas
of classical European social thinkers such as Weber and Marx with the
views of contemporary urbanists. Macionis (Kenyon College, Ohio) and
Parrillo (William Paterson U., New Jersey) emphasize that cities and
urban life vary according to time and place, that cities reflect and
intensify society and culture, that cities reveal the best and worst
about the human condition, and that cities offer the promise but not
always the reality of a better life. The 1998 first edition is here
rearranged and updated with recent statistics and research findings.
