Cambridge, Mass.: MIT Press, 1998, xvi, 452pp., . "I was born two weeks before the Bolshevik Revolution into an immigrant family that was part of New York's large German socialist community." So begins Robert Schrank's compelling autobiography. From Young Communist League member and union activist to management consultant for global corporations, Schrank has lived a life based on empathy and principles, and as an activist in some of the major political and social upheavals of this century., Through his story the reader experiences a community of political and intellectual passion being torn apart as it struggles to deal with the rise of Nazism and the decline of the old radical movement. Drawing on his FBI files - 750 pages of material ranging from intrigue to Mack Sennett comedy - Schrank brings to life the events of Party membership and of his role in the rise of industrial unions in the 1930s and 1940s. A rebel in his own land, he was expelled three times from union office; and in a landmark First Amendment case (Schrank vs. Brown) the State Supreme Court twice returned him to membership. Convinced by the early 1950s of the failure of socialism in the Soviet Union, he broke with the Party., Yet he remained faithful to the ideals of his radical upbringing, even as he joined the corporate world of his former enemies. 9780262193894 ISBN 0262193892.…

Cambridge, Mass: MIT Press, 1998, First MIT Press paperback edition, xxx, 504pp., . "Ten years in the making, City Center to Regional Mall is a sweeping yet detailed account of the development of the regional shopping center. Richard Longstreth takes a historical perspective, relating retail development to broader architectural, urban, and cultural issues. His story is far from linear; the topics he covers include the emergence of Hollywood as a downtown in miniature, experiments with the shopping center as an amenity of planned residential developments, the branch department store as a landmark of decentralization, the evolution of off-street parking facilities, and the obscure origins of the pedestrian mall as a spine for retail complexes." "Longstreth takes seriously the task of looking at retail buildings - one of the most neglected yet common of building types - and at the economics of real estate in the American city. He shows that Los Angeles in the period covered was a harbinger of American metropolitan trends during the second half of this century. Over 250 illustrations, culled from a wide variety of sources, constitute one of the best collections of old LA photographs published anywhere." - CONTENTS: The perils of a parkless town.

"In Between Facts and Norms Habermas works out the legal and political implications of his theoretical approach, bringing to fruition the project announced more than three decades ago in The Structural Transformation of the Public Sphere. Between Facts and Norms is a major contribution to current debates on the role of law and the prospects for the development of democracy in contemporary societies. Habermas develops a distinctive account of the nature of law, arguing that law is characterized by an internal tension between factual and normative aspects. He links this account to a broader argument concerning the formation of the modern constitutional state and the role of democratic deliberation as a means of securing the legitimacy of legal norms in complex, pluralistic societies. Habermas develops a proceduralist conception of democracy which emphasizes the importance of citizens organizing themselves in informal associations and voicing their concerns in a variety of public settings. If the formal processes of law-making in modern societies are to sustain their legitimacy, they must be capable of taking account of the concerns of ordinary citizens. In our complex, pluralistic societies, the legitimacy of political decision-making processes depends on a robust civil society and a vibrant public sphere. Between Facts and Norms is an outstanding work by one the most important social and political thinkers of our time. It will be a focal point of debate for many years to come in the fields of social and political theory, sociology, politics and philosophy" -.…

orig.wrappers Some rubbing & page-edge soil. VG. 23x15cm, xxi,437 pp., PAPERBACK. "In many areas of the world, environmental degradation in and around human settlements is undermining prospects for both socioeconomic justice and ecological sustainability. To explore the issues involved in this worldwide problem, the author focuses on a dramatic instance of conflict that grew out of the unauthorized penetration of human settelments into the Ajusco greenbelt zone, a vital part of Mexico City's ecological reserve. The Mexican government's initial response to these "irregular" human settlements was contradictory and reactive. Social unrest, ecological deterioration and violence have all been part of the continuing crisis. The heart of this book is the story of what happened when residents of Los Belvederes, a group of Ajusco settlements, fought relocation by proposing that Los Belvederes be transformed into Colonias Ecologica Productivas, or productive ecology settlements. Through innovative organized resistance, their grass-roots movement generated environmental and social action that eventually won crucial state support. The author draws upon urban and regional planning theory and practice to examine biophysical as well as ethical and social sides of the story, and uses the Mexican experience to identify planning strategies to link economy, ecology and community in sustainable development" - Publisher's description.

orig.cloth Minor rubbing. VG., dustwrapper. 21x13cm, 136 pp, Translated by Jacqueline Lindenfeld. "The present situation, in which poor nations are becoming richer and rich nations poorer, gives credence to the idea that the former phenomenon is responsible for the latter. The great fear of many in the West is that trade with India, China or the former Soviet Union will cause a collapse of the welfare state and of society's well-being. "Globilization" has become a loaded term. Should we believe, literally, that trade with poor nations can be blamed for our "impoverishment"? In this book, Daniel Cohen claims there is practically no foundation for such an alarmist position. We need to reverse the commonly held view that globalization has caused today's insecure labour market. On the contrary, Cohen argues, our own prosperity for transforming the nature of work has created a niche for globalization and given it an ominous dimension, causing some to reject it.Pursuing this erroneous line of thought will place the battle for social welfare "on the inside". Such errors in analysis must not persist; as Cohen says, the stakes are too high" - Publisher's description. Minor rubbing. VG., dustwrapper.…
