Abstract

Dutch Indians are the largest immigrant group ever to settle in the Netherlands. Not much is known about them, and certainly not about their descendants. Do they actually still feel Indian? In "Indian is a feeling" the adult children and grandchildren of the second and third generation Indian immigrants tell about their lives. They mainly discuss what they have inherited from Indian luggage and what being Indian means to them. The book contains many insightful quotes from their candid stories and a photo section in color by Fanny van der Linden.

Abstract

"City and cosmos" is an exploration of the city represented in the medieval imagination. Keith D. Lilley shows that, to the medieval mind, the city was not merely a collection of houses', it was an idea rich in Christian symbolism and cosmological meaning. Drawing upon original accounts, illustrations and maps from across medieval Europe, and on science, religion, art, literature, drama and architecture of the Latin West, "City and cosmos" offers an innovative interpretation of how medieval Christians saw their urban worlds.

Abstract

Making Cities Work brings together leading writers and scholars on urban America to offer critical perspectives on how to sustain prosperous, livable cities in today's fast-evolving economy. Successful cities provide jobs, quality schools, safe and clean neighborhoods, effective transportation, and welcoming spaces for all residents. But cities must be managed well if they are to remain attractive places to work, relax, and raise a family; otherwise residents, firms, and workers will leave and the social and economic advantages of city living will be lost. Drawing on cutting-edge research in the social sciences, the contributors explore optimal ways to manage the modern city and propose solutions to today's most pressing urban problems. Topics include the urban economy, transportation, housing and open space, immigration, race, the impacts of poverty on children, education, crime, and financing and managing services. The contributors show how to make cities work for diverse urban constituencies, and why we still need cities despite the many challenges they pose. Making Cities Work brings the latest findings in urban economics to policymakers, researchers, and students, as well as anyone interested in urban affairs. In addition to the editor, the contributors are David Card, Philip J. Cook, Janet Currie, Edward L. Glaeser, Joseph Gyourko, Richard J. Murnane, Witold Rybczynski, Kenneth A. Small, and Jacob L. Vigdor.
