The City Cultures Reader Unknown - 2000 - 1st Edition
by Miles, Malcolm.
From the publisher
One of the many important occasions marked by the new millennium is the fact that for the first time a majority of the human inhabitants of the Earth will dwell in cities. This is a collection of 60 texts on the cultural aspects, frameworks and perceptions of cities, reflecting the concerns for diversity rather than conventional notions of universality. The City Cultures Reader is organised into 12 sections drawing from material on cultural studies, architectural criticism and theory, cultural and human geography, urban design and critical theory. Topics covered include city form, city cultures in relation to politics and economics, every day life, memory and identity, cultural representation, ecology, social justice, resistance, utopian and dystopian visions, and possible futures.

Book Conditions Explained
Biblio’s Book Conditions
-
As NewThe book is pristine and free of any defects, in the same condition as when it was first newly published.
-
Fine (F)A book in fine condition exhibits no flaws. A fine condition book closely approaches As New condition, but may lack the crispness of an uncirculated, unopened volume.
-
Near Fine (NrFine or NF)Almost perfect, but not quite fine. Any defect outside of shelf-wear should be noted.
-
Very Good (VG)A used book that does show some small signs of wear - but no tears - on either binding or paper. Very good items should not have writing or highlighting.
-
Good (G or Gd.)The average used and worn book that has all pages or leaves present. ‘Good’ items often include writing and highlighting and may be ex-library. Any defects should be noted. The oft-repeated aphorism in the book collecting world is “good isn’t very good.”
-
FairIt is best to assume that a “fair” book is in rough shape but still readable.
-
Poor (P)A book with significant wear and faults. A poor condition book can still make a good reading copy but is generally not collectible unless the item is very scarce. Any missing pages must be specifically noted.
