Review # 1 was written on 2016-09-25 00:00:00 James Tubb Michael Peter Smith is pushing back real hard against a few things that, in my opinion, deserve being pushed back against: economic determinism, class essentialism, the belief that "the nation" isn't / isn't going to be a relevant scale anymore, and the global urbanism apotheosis and hierarchization of "the city" (among others). Yes, some of this has been done before - Smith cites them. Yes, his opponents often give caveats - Smith thinks these are afterthoughts that don't actually have bearing on the way their analyses work. The book can become repetitive, but it's a valuable intervention that helps open urban studies to a more nuanced understanding of the place and function of cities - and human agents within them.

Review # 2 was written on 2010-12-26 00:00:00 Joseph Urso Эллиот Жакс описывает свои исследования в отношении уровней комплексности мышления человека, теории страт и горизонтов мышления. Достаточно внимания уделено тому, как можно из дискуссии с человеком по некоторым признакам определить уровень комплексности мышления. Рекомендую к прочтению для управленцев, HR и предпринимателей.
