A wonderful, stimulating, richly thoughtful work that should add much to our debate about cities in the coming years.--Philip Lopate "Newsday"<br><br>Sennett brings an immensely civilized perspective to the forms and patterns--the visual experiences--of cities, primarily New York City, interpreting how they shape, reflect, or, sadly, fail to reflect, the human beings who built and use them. . . .
