The Thief by Megan Whalen Turner
Warner is in some ways almost unique among urban historians in the ways in which he has linked visual and cultural representations with socioeconomic analysis. The strength of The Urban Wilderness is its scope and reach and the author's willingness to take risks intellectually. This book is a work of passion and engagement.--Margaret Marsh, author of Suburban Lives
Compelling. . . . An important and original book, at once a lucid history and a trenchant, contemporary policy brief.
--Michael Frisch, Journal of Interdisciplinary History One of the most important general studies in urban history yet published--an imaginative use of history to foster understanding of the troubled, urbanized society in which we live.
--Raymond A. Mohl, American Historical Review The Urban Wilderness is not a history of American cities, but rather a discussion of the need to transform them. Warner uses history to find the origins of contemporary problems to trace their development over successive eras.
--Richard C. Wade, Journal of American History
