About the practices and politics of place and identity formation – the slippery ways in which who we are becomes wrapped up with where we are – this book exposes the relations of place to power. It links everyday aspects of place experience to the social theories of Deleuze and Bourdieu in a very readable manner. This is a book that takes the social critique of built form another step through detailed fieldwork and analysis in particular case studies.Through a broad range of case studies from nationalist monuments and new urbanist suburbs to urban laneways and avant garde interiors; questions are explored such as: What is neighborhood character? How do squatter settlements work and does it matter what they look like? Can architecture liberate? How do monuments and public spaces shape or stabilize national identity?

I was skeptical about this method book. but this was just a reminder to me to not judge a book by its size. Every page of this 50 page book is chock full of lessons and songs that progress as you learn. This is a MUST for a new ukulele player.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Finishing Second BookBy JimIm not much of a judge of musical method books but Ive finished book one and almost this second book and I am learning to play the ukulele. Ive moved on to sheet music for songs that Im interested in and that is fun. Most of these "method" books use old public domain music that is not very interesting. There are some online sources for specific songs with uke notation for very reasonable prices. Just look for sheet music.I think that both books of this series have been very useful. There is also a "chord finder" book in the series that is probably worth your consideration.Uke on!0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Four StarsBy WilliamGood book for beginners
