Sinopse

City Growth explores the historical forces driving urban expansion in major U.S. cities, from the industrial revolution to today. It examines how technological innovation, economic opportunities, and changing social priorities have shaped urban landscapes and led to phenomena like urban sprawl. The book argues that urban growth isn't random but follows interconnected cycles, revealing patterns crucial for sustainable development and addressing inequality. For instance, the rise of the automobile dramatically influenced suburbanization, while more recently, the internet and remote work impact urban form.

 
The book adopts a comprehensive approach, beginning with core concepts like urban morphology and land use. It then delves into specific periods, such as the post-World War II boom, using case studies of cities like Chicago and Los Angeles to illustrate broader trends. Drawing on historical data, planning documents, and interviews, City Growth provides a unique perspective by integrating historical analysis with contemporary planning challenges, addressing ongoing debates around gentrification and affordable housing.

    Brassroots Democracy recasts the birth of jazz, unearthing vibrant narratives of New Orleans musicians to reveal how early jazz was inextricably tied to the mass mobilization of freedpeople during Reconstruction and the decades that followed. Benjamin Barson presents a "music history from below," following the musicians as they built communes, performed at Civil Rights rallies, and participated in general strikes. Perhaps most importantly, Barson locates the first emancipatory revolution in the Americas—Haiti—as a nexus for cultural and political change in nineteenth-century Louisiana. In dialogue with the work of recent historians who have inverted traditional histories of Latin American and Caribbean independence by centering the influence of Haitian activists abroad, this work traces the impact of Haitian culture in New Orleans and its legacy in movements for liberation.Brassroots Democracy demonstrates how Black musicians infused participatory music practice with innovative forms of grassroots democracy. Late nineteenth-century Black brass bands and activists rehearsed these participatory models through collective performance that embodied the democratic ethos of Black Reconstruction. Termed "Brassroots Democracy," this fusion of political and musical spheres revolutionized both. Brassroots Democracy illuminates the Black Atlantic struggles that informed music-as-world-making from the Haitian Revolution through Reconstruction to the jazz revolution. The work theorizes the roots of the New Orleans brass band tradition in the social relations grown in maroon ecologies across the Americas. Their fruits contributed to the socio-sonic commons of the music we call jazz today.

    ABOUT THE FILM 
    Se7en is a psychological crime thriller directed by David Fincher. The film follows two detectives, the seasoned William Somerset and the impulsive David Mills, as they investigate a series of gruesome murders based on the seven deadly sins. The killer, known as John Doe, orchestrates his crimes as a twisted form of social commentary, leading the detectives into a dark and disturbing world. With its grim atmosphere, Se7en explores themes of morality, justice, and the human condition, using tension, suspense, and psychological horror to delve deep into the minds of both the detectives and the killer. 
      
    TRIVIA SAMPLES: 
      
    “Leland Orser prepared for his intense interrogation scene by rapidly breathing in and out to saturate his body with oxygen, enabling him to hyperventilate. Additionally, he stayed awake for several days to achieve a disoriented look for his character.” 
      
    “Initially, New Line executives were opposed to the film's ending, but Brad Pitt insisted on keeping it as is, refusing to participate if any changes were made.” 
      
    “Director David Fincher told both Kevin Spacey and Brad Pitt that while the film might not be the movie they'd be remembered for, it would be one they'd take immense pride in.” 
      
    “During the filming of the chase scene where Mills follows John Doe in the rain, Brad Pitt fell and injured his arm by smashing it through a car windshield. The injury was later incorporated into the script.”
