    Cities are more than just a collection of buildings, streets, and infrastructure; they are living, breathing entities defined by the intricate web of human connections that form their foundation. The social fabric of a city—the dynamic interplay of relationships, cultures, and shared experiences—plays a crucial role in shaping not only the identity of urban areas but also the lives of the individuals who inhabit them. Understanding this essence of urban life requires delving into the complexities of community and identity, two pillars that anchor the urban experience. 
    Urban life is characterized by a unique blend of diversity and interconnectedness. In cities, people from various backgrounds come together, bringing with them distinct cultures, traditions, and perspectives. This convergence fosters opportunities for collaboration, creativity, and innovation, but it also presents challenges in the form of tensions, misunderstandings, and inequities. Despite these challenges, cities often serve as melting pots where differences are not just tolerated but celebrated, giving rise to vibrant communities that redefine what it means to coexist. 
    The identity of a city emerges not only from its physical attributes—its skyline, landmarks, and neighborhoods—but also from the shared narratives of its residents. These narratives are shaped by the history, struggles, and triumphs of the community. From the bustling marketplaces that echo with the hum of daily life to the quiet parks that offer respite amidst the chaos, every corner of a city tells a story. These stories intertwine, creating a collective identity that is both fluid and enduring.

    The first major book on the uprisings in Iran in 2022 and 2023 
     
    On Tuesday 13 September 2022, all Mahsa Amini has planned is a day shopping in Tehran. Her birthday is next week. But she is arrested as she comes out of the subway – the Guidance Patrol deem her hijab inadequate. On Friday she is pronounced dead. By Sunday, women have taken to the streets across Iran, setting their headscarves on fire and cursing the Supreme Leader. Months later, workers down their tools and businesses close. The battle-cry everywhere: Women, Life, Freedom. 
     
    This isn’t a passing protest wave; something has changed irrevocably. Arash Azizi guides us through Iran ablaze, history being made in real time. From an International Women’s Day celebrated inside Iran’s most notorious prison to mass strikes in Kurdistan, ordinary Iranians are taking risks to fight for a better future.  
     
    Even as the regime spills blood in retaliation, Iranians have not given up. Today one thing’s clear: no Supreme Leader can turn the clock back. A different Iran is within sight; Azizi shows us what it might look like.

    Beginning with Woodrow Wilson and U.S. entry into World War I and closing with the Great Depression, The Perils of Prosperity traces the transformation of America from an agrarian, moralistic, isolationist nation into a liberal, industrialized power involved in foreign affairs in spite of itself.
     
    William E. Leuchtenburg’s lively yet balanced account of this hotly debated era in American history has been a standard text for many years. This substantial revision gives greater weight to the roles of women and minorities in the great changes of the era and adds new insights into literature, the arts, and technology in daily life. He has also updated the lists of important dates and resources for further reading.
     
    “This book gives us a rare opportunity to enjoy the matured interpretation of an American Historian who has returned to the story and seen how recent decades have added meaning and vividness to this epoch of our history.”—Daniel J. Boorstin, from the Preface
