Introduction to Cities

How Place and Space Shape Human Experience

By: Xiangming Chen,Anthony M. Orum,Krista E. Paulsen

The revised and updated second edition of Introduction to Cities explores why cities are such a vital part of the human experience and how they shape our everyday lives. Written in engaging and accessible terms, Introduction to Cities examines the study of cities through two central concepts: that cities are places, where people live, form communities, and establish their own identities, and that they are spaces, such as the inner city and the suburb, that offer a way to configure and shape the material world and natural environment. Introduction to Cities covers the theory of cities from an historical perspective right through to the most recent theoretical developments. The authors offer a balanced account of life in cities and explore both positive and negative themes. In addition, the text takes a global approach, with examples ranging from Berlin and Chicago to Shanghai and Mumbai. The book is extensively illustrated with updated maps, charts, tables, and photographs. This new edition also includes a new section on urban planning as well as new chapters on cities as contested spaces, exploring power and politics in an urban context. It contains; information on the status of poor and marginalized groups and the impact of neoliberal policies; material on gender and sexuality; and presents a greater range of geographies with more attention to European, Latin American, and African cities. Revised and updated, Introduction to Cities provides a complete introduction to the history, evolution, and future of our modern cities.

The Messed Up Christian

As the Sparrow

By: Krista Sheedy

But I need something more! For if I know the law but still can't keep it, and if the power of sin within me keeps sabotaging my best intentions, I obviously need help! I realize that I don't have what it takes. I can will it, but I can't do it. I decide to do good, but I don't really do it; I decide not to do bad, but then I do it anyway. My decisions, such as they are, don't result in actions. Something has gone wrong deep within me and gets the better of me every time. --Romans 7:17-20 (MSG) If you read this set of verses and say, "Wow that's me in a nutshell!" then welcome. You have found your people. Frequently as Christians, we fail, and we screw up. We are pegged as hypocrites because, well, we can be and oftentimes we are. Like anyone else in life, Christians have issues, and we don't always handle them right or well. Just because we carry the name Christian, it doesn't make us magically infallible. This mentality tends to leave us in a place of utter aloneness. Y'all, we were never alone to begin with! We don't have to stay in the place of hurt, harm, and hypocrisy! This book explains God's grace and sovereignty over our lives through some heavy and some normal life struggles, digging deep into the meaning of the hymn "His Eye is on the Sparrow" by Civilla Martin, changing our Sundays-only-Christian mentality into someone who's willing to plead with Christ and other Christians to change our character to be more like His.
