It is also an explanation of new principles and an argument for different methods from those now in use. It is the first real alternative to conventional city planning that we have had in this century. Its author, herself a city dweller and an editor of Architectural Forum, is direct and practical in her approach. What, she asks, makes cities work? Why are some neighborhoods full of things to do and see and why are others dull? Why does the crime rate soar in our public housing developments and why are some of our older neighborhoods, despite their evident pov-erty, so much more safe, stable and congenial? Why do some neighborhoods attract interested and responsible populations and why do others degenerate? Why are Boston's North End and the eastern and western extremes of Greenwich Village good neighborhoods and why do orthodox city planners consider them slums? What alternatives are there to current city planning and rebuilding? Conventional city planning holds that cities decline because they are blighted by too many people, by mixtures of commercial, industrial and residential uses, by old buildings and narrow streets and by small landholders who stand in the way of large-scale development. Such neighborhoods, they insist, breed apathy and crime, discourage investment and contaminate the areas around them. The response of con-ventional city planning is to tear them down, scatter their inhabitants, lay out super-blocks, and rebuild the area accord-ing to an integrated plan, with the result, as often as not, that the crime rate rises still higher, the new neighborhood is more lifeless than the old one, and the surrounding areas deteriorate even more, until the life of the whole city is threatened. But Mrs. Jacobs observes that in any number of cases these very conditions--mixed uses, dense population, old buildings, small blocks, decentralized ownership--create the very opposite of slums, neighborhoods that regenerate themselves spontaneously, that are full of variety and diversity, that attract large numbers of casual visitors and responsible new residents, that encourage investment and revitalize the areas around them. Boston's North End (condemned as a slum by or-thodox planners) is such a neighborhood, and so is Greenwich Village. Rittenhouse Square and Telegraph Hill are others. Nearly every large city can produce still other examples. Why then do some city neighborhoods die and why do others flourish? And what can city planners do to avoid the death and encourage the life of our great American cities? The solutions proposed by Mrs. Jacobs in this book represent a sharp break with conventional thinking on the subject and they carry with them the ring of simple truth which marks this book as an inevitable classic of social thought.

As they tiptoe through minefields of romantic, substance-fueled misadventure—from dirty warehouses and gentrified bars in Oakland to desolate farm towns in Alabama—Purnell’s characters strive for belonging in a world that dismisses them for being Black, broke, and queer. In spite of it—or perhaps because of it—they shine. Armed with a deadpan wit, Purnell finds humor in even the darkest of nadirs with the peerless zeal, insight, and horniness of a gay punk messiah. Together, the slice-of-life tales that writhe within 100 Boyfriends are an inimitable tour of an unexposed queer underbelly.

Her battleground is the courtroom; her crusade is to transform clients from victims into warriors. In gripping detail, Carrie shares the diabolical ways her clients are attacked and how she, through her unique combination of advocacy, badass relentlessness, risk-taking, and client-empowerment, pursues justice for them all. There are stories about a woman whose ex-boyfriend made fake bomb threats in her name and caused a national panic; a fifteen-year-old girl who was sexually assaulted on school grounds and then suspended when she reported the attack; and a man whose ex-boyfriend used a dating app to send more than 1,200 men to ex's home and work for sex. With breathtaking honesty, Carrie also shares her own shattering story about why she began her work and the uphill battle of building a business. While her clients are a diverse group--from every gender, sexual orientation, age, class, race, religion, occupation, and background--the offenders are not. They are highly predictable.

You have to remember, he reminded me, that Harvard is older than the U.S. government. You have to remember because Harvard doesn't let you forget. 1969: the height of counterculture and the year universities would seek to curb the unruly spectacle of student protest; the winter that Harvard University would begin the tumultuous process of merging with Radcliffe, its all-female sister school; and the year that Jane Britton, an ambitious twenty-three-year-old graduate student in Harvard's Anthropology Department and daughter of Radcliffe Vice President J. Boyd Britton, would be found bludgeoned to death in her Cambridge, Massachusetts apartment. Forty years later, Becky Cooper a curious undergrad, will hear the first whispers of the story. In the first telling the body was nameless. The story was this: a Harvard student had had an affair with her professor, and the professor had murdered her in the Peabody Museum of Archaeology and Ethnology because she'd threatened to talk about the affair. Though the rumor proves false, the story that unfolds, one that Cooper will follow for ten years, is even more complex: a tale of gender inequality in academia, a 'cowboy culture' among empowered male elites, the silencing effect of institutions, and our compulsion to rewrite the stories of female victims. We Keep the Dead Close is a memoir of mirrors, misogyny, and murder. It is at once a rumination on the violence and oppression that rules our revered institutions, a ghost story reflecting one young woman's past onto another's present, and a love story for a girl who was lost to history.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kx24ty6chtk2grbfg6kgrsxs.jpg?v=767733e173","LMJ5fvxa;mxGUbrr$RR*~qS#S1X8",506,[363],{"id":364,"slug":365,"name":366},"01kx24ty66bh7wcc4904r1v7a4","becky-cooper-t3yy","Becky Cooper",[368,369,370,374,378],{"id":181,"name":182,"slug":183,"is_fiction":23},{"id":292,"name":293,"slug":294,"is_fiction":23},{"id":371,"name":372,"slug":373,"is_fiction":23},79,"Education","education",{"id":375,"name":376,"slug":377,"is_fiction":23},70,"History","history",{"id":34,"name":35,"slug":36,"is_fiction":23},[],{"pace":100,"complexity":7,"audience":103,"mood":381,"themes":382,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[298,188,120],[383],"mystery-box",{"id":385,"slug":386,"title":387,"description":7,"primary_cover_url":388,"cover_blurhash":389,"first_publish_year":390,"community_rating_avg":7,"community_rating_count":18,"page_count":7,"authors":391,"genres":396,"series":399,"enrichment":400},"01kx252gkvt7jw1tc4jcn0wfvn","dutch-voters-adrift-lkxn","Dutch Voters Adrift","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Fworks\u002F01\u002F01kx252gkvt7jw1tc4jcn0wfvn.jpg?v=8b29925a15","L6S?DV_3~q_3j[j[%MfQ~qfQD%ay",1982,[392],{"id":393,"slug":394,"name":395},"01kx252gm5j1z5qvgfmqrbgeah","rudolf-bastiaan-andeweg-s7tq","Rudolf Bastiaan Andeweg",[397,398],{"id":153,"name":154,"slug":155,"is_fiction":23},{"id":34,"name":35,"slug":36,"is_fiction":23},[],{"pace":158,"complexity":7,"audience":103,"mood":401,"themes":402,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[323,120],[],[404,458],{"key":405,"params":406,"works":407},"genre_year",{"genre":35,"year":9},[408,430],{"id":409,"slug":410,"title":411,"description":7,"primary_cover_url":412,"cover_blurhash":413,"first_publish_year":414,"community_rating_avg":7,"community_rating_count":18,"page_count":415,"authors":416,"genres":421,"series":426,"enrichment":427},"01kwzxard911f688rdweyfqsy6","we-took-the-streets-4sst","We took the streets","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kwzxardpmerx10p0yfdzpvzw.jpg?v=0e0e6d1f14","L9I}Y1xv_4WFDgM|Rgj]8wNHx9jq",2005,256,[417],{"id":418,"slug":419,"name":420},"01kwzxardj1wr3xerd5rwt04wp","miguel-melendez-fyho","Miguel Melendez",[422,423,424,425],{"id":292,"name":293,"slug":294,"is_fiction":23},{"id":375,"name":376,"slug":377,"is_fiction":23},{"id":341,"name":342,"slug":343,"is_fiction":23},{"id":34,"name":35,"slug":36,"is_fiction":23},[],{"pace":240,"complexity":7,"audience":103,"mood":428,"themes":429,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[106,298],[],{"id":431,"slug":432,"title":433,"description":434,"primary_cover_url":435,"cover_blurhash":436,"first_publish_year":437,"community_rating_avg":7,"community_rating_count":18,"page_count":438,"authors":439,"genres":444,"series":454,"enrichment":455},"01kx24mzffk61zpeptmmhf4166","against-love-a-polemic-jgfb","Against Love A Polemic","A polemic against love that is “engagingly acerbic ... extremely funny.... A deft indictment of the marital ideal, as well as a celebration of the dissent that constitutes adultery, delivered in pointed daggers of prose” (The New Yorker). Who would dream of being against love? No one. Love is, as everyone knows, a mysterious and all-controlling force, with vast power over our thoughts and life decisions. But is there something a bit worrisome about all this uniformity of opinion? Is this the one subject about which no disagreement will be entertained, about which one truth alone is permissible? Consider that the most powerful organized religions produce the occasional heretic; every ideology has its apostates; even sacred cows find their butchers. Except for love. Hence the necessity for a polemic against it. A polemic is designed to be the prose equivalent of a small explosive device placed under your E-Z-Boy lounger. It won’t injure you (well not severely); it’s just supposed to shake things up and rattle a few convictions.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kx24mzg8wfnnbds3jgb3r4k3.jpg?v=48cfb2aea4","L7P?{s=|u3*I-Ua1XlTI.RtlnOrr",2004,224,[440],{"id":441,"slug":442,"name":443},"01kx24mzg14wnwr840tjk0bw10","laura-kipnis-qoft","Laura Kipnis",[445,449,453],{"id":446,"name":447,"slug":448,"is_fiction":23},86,"Essays","essays",{"id":450,"name":451,"slug":452,"is_fiction":23},103,"Society","society",{"id":34,"name":35,"slug":36,"is_fiction":23},[],{"pace":100,"complexity":7,"audience":103,"mood":456,"themes":457,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[120,243],[],{"key":459,"params":460,"works":461},"genre",{"genre":35},[462,484,496,507,517,529],{"id":463,"slug":464,"title":465,"description":466,"primary_cover_url":467,"cover_blurhash":468,"first_publish_year":469,"community_rating_avg":470,"community_rating_count":15,"page_count":471,"authors":472,"genres":477,"series":480,"enrichment":481},"01kx28a6qnt1nyjg27tt7smz68","slave-women-in-caribbean-society-1650-1838-fkzi","Slave Women in Caribbean Society, 1650-1838","In this text the author sets forth and then evaulates the images of slave women accumulated in published sources and folklore.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kx28a6r91ccg21v10sm77ff7.jpg?v=bd30174fa4","LHI$$hR*~CR%9ta#ofbIDikVtRWU",1990,"3.00",212,[473],{"id":474,"slug":475,"name":476},"01kx28a6r2zzfb3ce47s3xqsa5","barbara-bush-62pp","Barbara Bush",[478,479],{"id":375,"name":376,"slug":377,"is_fiction":23},{"id":34,"name":35,"slug":36,"is_fiction":23},[],{"pace":158,"complexity":7,"audience":103,"mood":482,"themes":483,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[122,124],[],{"id":326,"slug":327,"title":328,"description":329,"primary_cover_url":330,"cover_blurhash":331,"first_publish_year":332,"community_rating_avg":168,"community_rating_count":15,"page_count":333,"authors":485,"genres":487,"series":492,"enrichment":493},[486],{"id":336,"slug":337,"name":338},[488,489,490,491],{"id":341,"name":342,"slug":343,"is_fiction":23},{"id":181,"name":182,"slug":183,"is_fiction":23},{"id":34,"name":35,"slug":36,"is_fiction":23},{"id":347,"name":348,"slug":349,"is_fiction":23},[],{"pace":240,"complexity":7,"audience":103,"mood":494,"themes":495,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[298,106],[],{"id":162,"slug":163,"title":164,"description":7,"primary_cover_url":165,"cover_blurhash":166,"first_publish_year":167,"community_rating_avg":168,"community_rating_count":15,"page_count":169,"authors":497,"genres":500,"series":503,"enrichment":504},[498,499],{"id":172,"slug":173,"name":174},{"id":176,"slug":177,"name":178},[501,502],{"id":181,"name":182,"slug":183,"is_fiction":23},{"id":34,"name":35,"slug":36,"is_fiction":23},[],{"pace":100,"complexity":7,"audience":103,"mood":505,"themes":506,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[188,122],[],{"id":137,"slug":138,"title":139,"description":140,"primary_cover_url":141,"cover_blurhash":142,"first_publish_year":143,"community_rating_avg":7,"community_rating_count":18,"page_count":144,"authors":508,"genres":510,"series":513,"enrichment":514},[509],{"id":147,"slug":148,"name":149},[511,512],{"id":34,"name":35,"slug":36,"is_fiction":23},{"id":153,"name":154,"slug":155,"is_fiction":23},[],{"pace":158,"complexity":7,"audience":103,"mood":515,"themes":516,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[106,124],[],{"id":273,"slug":274,"title":275,"description":276,"primary_cover_url":277,"cover_blurhash":278,"first_publish_year":167,"community_rating_avg":7,"community_rating_count":18,"page_count":169,"authors":518,"genres":520,"series":525,"enrichment":526},[519],{"id":281,"slug":282,"name":283},[521,522,523,524],{"id":181,"name":182,"slug":183,"is_fiction":23},{"id":287,"name":288,"slug":289,"is_fiction":23},{"id":34,"name":35,"slug":36,"is_fiction":23},{"id":292,"name":293,"slug":294,"is_fiction":23},[],{"pace":240,"complexity":7,"audience":103,"mood":527,"themes":528,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[298,106],[],{"id":530,"slug":531,"title":532,"description":533,"primary_cover_url":534,"cover_blurhash":535,"first_publish_year":536,"community_rating_avg":7,"community_rating_count":18,"page_count":537,"authors":538,"genres":543,"series":546,"enrichment":547},"01kx2arskqjdk5z94qk5tyj3mj","ribbon-culture-gk8b","Ribbon Culture","\"Ribbon Culture explores the history, meaning, and sociological implications of the popular practice of 'showing awareness.\" The book suggests that we see the rise of awareness campaigns in terms of a growing interest in personal displays of compassion in a cultural climate where empathy has become a by-word for authenticity.
