Urban Sociology - A Global...

Fred Grandsen

Urban sociology is the study of social life, interactions, and institutions within cities and urban areas. As the global population continues to urbanize, understanding the social dynamics of cities has become increasingly important. Urban sociology examines how cities evolve, how people experience urban life, and how social, economic, and political forces shape urban environments. From towering metropolises to small urban centers, cities function as hubs of economic activity, cultural exchange, and political power. They also reflect and reinforce social inequalities, providing a unique lens through which to study contemporary social issues. 
The development of urban sociology as a discipline emerged in response to the rapid urbanization of the 19th and 20th centuries. Industrialization transformed rural societies into urban ones, drawing millions of people into cities in search of economic opportunities. Early sociologists, such as Georg Simmel, studied how urban life altered human interactions, emphasizing the psychological impact of living in densely populated environments. The Chicago School of Sociology, led by scholars like Robert Park and Louis Wirth, further explored urban life by analyzing migration, social organization, and spatial patterns. Their work laid the foundation for modern urban sociology by introducing key concepts such as social ecology and urban subcultures.

Drained by the Football Jock...

He’s even infiltrated my business. I was the CEO, but now he’s making the decisions.

Why Read - Selected Writings...

Will Self

From the Booker–shortlisted author of Umbrella, a world-girdling collection of writings inspired by a life lived in and for literature 
 
From one of the most unusual and distinctive writers working today, Will Self’s Why Read is a cornucopia of thoughtful and brilliantly witty essays on writing and literature. 
 
Self takes us with him: from the foibles of his typewriter repairman to the irradiated exclusion zone of Chernobyl, to the Australian outback, and to literary forms past and future. With his characteristic intellectual brio, Self aims his inimitable eye at titans of literature like Woolf, Kafka, Orwell, and Conrad. He  
writes movingly on W. G. Sebald’s childhood in Germany and provocatively describes the elevation of William S. Burroughs’s Junky from shocking pulp novel to beloved cult classic. Self also expands on his regular column in Literary Hub to ask readers how, what, and ultimately why we should read in an  
ever-changing world. Whether he is writing on the rise of the bookshelf as an item of furniture in the nineteenth century or on the impossibility of Googling his own name in a world lived online, Self’s trademark intoxicating prose and mordant, energetic humor infuse every piece. 
 
A book that examines how the human stream of consciousness flows into and out of literature, Why Read will satisfy both old and new readers of this icon of contemporary literature.

A New Capitalism - Creating A...

Frank Altman

Invest With Social Responsibility, It Can Be A Tool For GoodIn 1977, two years after I graduated from Brown University, college students around the country launched a movement against Apartheid. Their campaign focused on divestment: convincingAmerican corporations to sell shares of companies doing business with South Africa's Apartheid government. The foundation of their argument was moral and straightforward, that no one should profit from a system that brutally oppresses people. By the mid-1980s, the divestment campaign became made pariahs of the companies still willing to transact with the Apartheid regime. Reflecting on the movement, in 2010 Archbishop Desmond Tutu wrote, “We could not have achieved our freedom and just peace without the help of people around the world, who through the use of non-violent means, such as boycotts and divestment, encouraged their governments and other corporate actors to reverse decades-long support for the Apartheid regime.”Socially responsible investing is rooted in the recognition that money, because it holds power in people’s imaginations, can be a tool for accomplishing good.
