FRUG, GERALD E. City making: building communities without building walls. Princeton, NJ: Princeton University Press, 1999, 1st printing number line ending in 1, 256pp., . "American metropolitan areas today are divided into neighborhoods of privilege and poverty, often along lines of ethnicity and race. As Gerald Frug shows, this divided and inhospitable urban landscape is not simply the result of individual choices about where to live or start a business. It is the product of government policies - and, in particular, the policies embedded in legal rules. Frug presents the first ever analysis of how legal rules shape modern cities and outlines a set of alternatives to bring down the walls that now keep city dwellers apart." "He describes how American law treats cities as subdivisions of states and shows how this arrangement has encouraged the separation of metropolitan residents into different, sometimes hostile groups. He explains the divisive impact of rules about zoning, redevelopment, land use, and the organization of such city services as education and policing. He pays special attention to the underlying role of anxiety about strangers, the widespread desire for good schools, and the pervasive fear of crime. Ultimately, Frug calls for replacing the current legal definition of cities with an alternative based on what he calls "community building"--An alternative that gives cities within the same metropolitan region incentives to forge closer links with each other." - CONTENTS: pt. 1.

paperback. Zustand: Fine. DETAILS: sewn PAPERBACK, fresh attractive copy, fine condition, appears unused. RÖHL, JOHN C. G. The Kaiser and his court: Wilhelm II and the government of Germany. Cambridge ;: Cambridge University Press, 1996, xi, 275pp., . Kaiser Wilhelm II, Queen Victoria's eldest grandchild, took over the running of the powerful German Reich from Bismarck and within a couple of decades had led it into world war and collapse. How did the Kaiser come to have so much power? Why was there no one to help him steer a less disastrous course? This book analyses these crucial questions with the help of a wealth of new archival sources., The book begins with a character-sketch of the Kaiser which provides new and alarming insights into his personality. It then looks, crucially, at the Kaiser's friends and favourites, at the neo-absolutist culture of the court and of Berlin court society, and at the nature of his relationship with the court on the one hand and with the administrative 'pyramid' in Prussia and the Reich on the other. The book makes clear that these bureaucrats and diplomats had neither the means nor the will to oppose the overwhelming determination of the Kaiser and his close friends and advisers in directing the policies of the most dynamic and volatile state in Europe. The dangerous consequences of this situation led to the brink of world war as early as December 1912. A final chapter reveals for the first time the appalling extent and nature of the exiled Kaiser's antisemitism. - CONTENTS: 1. Kaiser Wilhelm II: a suitable case for treatment? -- 2.

hardcover. Zustand: Very Good. DETAILS: fresh attractive hardcover with printed covers. ALAREER, REFAAT. If I must die: poetry and prose. Compiled by Yousef M. Aljamal ; with a foreword by Susan Abulhawa. New York: OR Books, 2024, stated First Printing, xxi, 257pp., . "The renowned poet and literature professor Refaat Alareer was killed by an Israeli airstrike in Gaza City alongside his brother, sister, and nephews in December 2023. He was just forty-four years old, but had already established a worldwide reputation that was further enhanced when, in the wake of his death, the poem that gives this book its title became a global sensation. "If I Must Die" is included here, alongside Refaat's other poetry. Refaat wrote extensively about a range of topics: teaching Shakespeare and the way Shylock could be appreciated by young Palestinian students; the horrors of living under repeated brutal assaults in Gaza, one of which, in 2014, killed another of his brothers; and the generosity of Palestinians to each other, fighting, in the face of it all, to be the one paying at the supermarket checkout. Such pieces, some never before published, have been curated here by one of Refaat's closest friends and collaborators. This collection forms a fitting testament to a remarkable writer, educator, and activist, one whose voice will not be silenced by death but will continue to assert the power of learning and humanism in the face of barbarity." - CONTENTS: Foreword -- Introduction -- Modest proposal (2010) -- Israel's power of the camera: Gaza's power of Gaza (2010) -- Tragedy in one sentence (2011) -- Gaza mourns Vittorio Arrigoni (2011) -- If I must die, let it be a tale (2011) -- I was Mustafa Tamimi (2011) -- Mustafa's only care (2011) -- On a drop of rain (2014) -- O, Earth (Land day poem) (2012) -- Narrating Palestine (2014) -- The story of my brother, Martyr Mohammed Alareer (2014) -- When will dad come back?
