Great American City: Chicago and the Enduring Neighborhood EffectFor over fifty years numerous public intellectuals and social theorists have insisted that community is dead. Some would have us believe that we act solely as individuals choosing our own fates regardless of our surroundings, while other theories place us at the mercy of global forces beyond our control. These two perspectives dominate contemporary views of society, but by rejecting the importance of place they are both deeply flawed. Based on one of
For over fifty years numerous public intellectuals and social theorists have insisted that community is dead. Some would have us believe that we act solely as individuals choosing our own fates regardless of our surroundings, while other theories place us at the mercy of global forces beyond our control. These two perspectives dominate contemporary views of society, but by rejecting the importance of place they are both deeply flawed. Based on one of the most ambitious studies in the history of social science, Great American City argues that communities still matter because life is decisively shaped by where you live. To demonstrate the powerfully enduring impact of place, Robert J. Sampson presents here the fruits of over a decade's research in Chicago combined with his own unique personal observations about life in the city, from Cabrini Green to Trump Tower and Millennium Park to the Robert Taylor Homes. He discovers that neighborhoods influence a remarkably wide variety of social phenomena, including crime, health, civic engagement, home foreclosures, teen births, altruism, leadership networks, and immigration. Even national crises cannot halt the impact of place, Sampson finds, as he analyzes the consequences of the Great Recession and its aftermath, bringing his magisterial study up to the fall of 2010. Following in the influential tradition of the Chicago School of urban studies but updated for the twenty-first century, Great American City is at once a landmark research project, a commanding argument for a new theory of social life, and the story of an iconic city.Binding Type: Paperback

Very sexy sunglasses!
Style: Chic Metal Rectangular Shield, Color: Rose Gold & Rose
I loooove these! I would rate 5 star, but the lens developed a small crack by the earpiece, after only a few moths of wearing them. They were not dropped, so I’m not sure why they’re cracked.

Look good
Style: Chic Metal Rectangular Shield, Color: Gold
Only 3 stars because they came with no case, just a soft bag.
They look good though.

Nice Style!
Style: Chic Metal Rectangular Shield, Color: Gold
I had a pair of these years ago, and they were gold trimmed. The gold trim was around the outer frame of the glasses, and I really liked them and got many compliments on them. Those became scratched, and I was unable to use them so I did a quick search to find them again. These come and gold are rose, gold trim, and I ordered a pair of each expecting what I had before. I was sad to see that the quality didn’t seem to match what I had before, and the trim was on the inside instead of the outside, which I don’t understand. I also noticed that the ware seems to get looser the more times I wear them. They are harder to keep on my ears.

Comfortable and Cute
Style: Chic Metal Rectangular Shield, Color: Rose Gold & Rose
Very comfortable and doesn't slide down my nose. Got several compliments while I was on vacation. Even after wearing most of the day they didn't hurt my ears.
