"Spaces for Consumption" offers an in-depth and sophisticated analysis of the processes that underpin the commodification of the city and explains the physical manifestation of consumerism as a way of life. Engaging directly with the social, economic and cultural processes that have resulted in our cities being defined through consumption, this vibrant book clearly demonstrates...(展开全部)

This introduction to linear algebra and functional analysis offers a clear expository treatment, viewing algebra, geometry, and analysis as parts of an integrated whole rather than separate subjects. All abstract ideas receive a high degree of motivation, and numerous examples illustrate many different fields of mathematics. Abundant problems include hints or answers.

Prolific social theorist Harvey explains how a turn towards harshly neo-liberal policies in the 1970s and 80s, specifically in the U.S. (and its involvement in the economies of Chile and Mexico) and the UK, affected "the historical geography of global capitalism," and produced effects that range from dictatorial China's embrace of neo-liberalism-which Harvey understands as an e...(展开全部)

大衛．哈維是當代最重要的馬克思主義地理學家。他致力將馬克思主義的分析洞見，運用於都市發展、環境生態、時空關係與意識、後現代情境、城市與社會正義、全球化、文化產業與經濟等議題，企圖從地理學角度補充修正馬克思主義理論的基本原則，提出了「歷史地理唯物論」（historical geographical materialism）的分析視野。 1935年，哈維生於英國肯特郡（Kent county）的Gillingham。他於1957年獲得劍橋大學地理學學位，1961年獲博士學位。最初在英國布里斯托大學（Bristol University）擔任教職，1969年赴美於巴爾地摩（Baltimore）約翰霍普金斯大學（The John Hopkins University），擔任地理學與環境工程系教授。後於1987年回到英國，在牛津大學地理系擔任哈福德．麥金德（H...(展开全部)

There was nothing new in this. What was new was the virtual absence of any political will to do anythi...(展开全部)
