520 _a"Learned, iconoclastic and exciting ... Jacobs' diagnosis of the decay of cities in an increasingly integrated world economy is on the mark." -- New York Times Book Review"Jacobs' book is inspired, idiosyncratic and personal ... It is written with verve and humor; for a work of embattled theory, it is wonderfully concrete, and its leaps are breathtaking." -- Los Angeles Times"Not only comprehensible but entertaining ... Like Mrs. Jacobs' other books, it offers a concrete approach to an abstract and elusive subject. That, all by itself, makes for an intoxicating experience." --
