The momentous changes which are transforming American life call for a new exploration of the economic and cultural landscape.

From the steel mills of the Rust Belt, to the sterile malls of suburbia, to the gentrified urban centers of our largest cities, the "creative destruction" of our economy--a process by which a way of life is both lost and...

ISBN: 9780521310963 / Angielski / Miękka / 216 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.
