Urban Problems in Sociological Perspective

Fourth Edition

 

Thomas R. Shannon, Nancy Kleniewski, and William M. Cross

 

The latest edition continues the tradition of excellence established in previous editions, providing an analysis of contemporary urban problems that is up-to-date, concise, clearly written, and theoretically balanced. The authors bring breadth and depth to their analysis by examining urban conditions within the context of U.S. urban history and sociological theory, and also offer cross-cultural comparison of urban trends in other societies.
