The object of this book is intra-urban mobility, namely the diverse forms of mobility occuring within a city: from residential mobility to daily mobility, the latter understood both as commuting and as urban travel for leisure. The specific aim of the volume is to explore mobility in the city at different times, from the XVIIth century to today, and to relate it to the respective social dynamics from different standpoints, moving back and forth from the building to the neighbourhood and the wider metropolis, from Tunis to Paris, from Naples to Barcelone, passing through Rome, Milan and Marseille. The approach adopted is strongly multidisciplinary. The authors come from different disciplines - from History to Demography, from Sociology to Geography -, which has allowed to decline the study of intra-urban mobility both through a look at individuals and their mobility practices and from a territorial and historical context. In so doing, a set of urban issues has been considered, such as social mobility, metropolization processes, migrations and inequalities, access to real estate market.

New Banker in Town Paul Weaver felt Sweetwater, Kansas, was going to be one of those towns along the railroad that would grow quickly. Everything Paul looked for before building a large bank was present – and much more… The woman who had broken his heart, almost broken his spirit, was also there. A woman he thought lost to him. Was pain from her betrayal so raw it would cripple him more than his missing limb? Would old wounds resurface and loss overwhelm his ability to be the businessman he had become? Sweetwater could turn out to be his Waterloo. Does he accept his life as it is or fight for what it should have been if he had listened to his heart so many years ago? Happy Endings 1874 Sweetwater was growing in all sorts of ways. New bank, new school and new houses for the families settling there joining the original ranchers. This busy town was earning a reputation for peaceful living and prosperity for everyone. Will an unwanted intrusion from outsiders bring all that to an end? Would the townspeople and those in the perimeter of protection be endangered? Or will everything work out as it was meant to for the people living and loving in Sweetwater?
The 82nd Airborne Division parachuted into history on 9 July 1943 when they led Operation Husky, the invasion of Sicily. Less than a year from their formation in August 1942, the All Americans (the name of the division in World War I when Sgt. Alvin York was one its soldiers) found themselves in the thick of the action, something that would become familiar to them for the rest of the war. Heavy combat followed on the Italian mainland. Then came the main event of the war: D-Day!
Despite the recent growth of research on social problems facing the people of sub-Saharan Africa, there remains a critical lack of conceptual, epistemological, and empirical research and documentation. This sophisticated new book attempts to fill that gap by synthesizing, interpreting, and extending the existing literature on conditions that constitute serious impediments to socio-economic development in Africa. It provides an original and up-to-date survey of key problems ranging from poverty and inequality to violence and crime. The contributors, all of whom have lived or worked in Africa, show how social problems emerge, how they are defined, and how various actors attempt to deal with them. This timely book provides a much needed analysis of the major issues and debates regarding the dynamics of social problems in the African context. Social Problems in Africa is broken into four parts. The first introduces readers to the nature of social problems in general and provides a framework for analyzing and understanding social problems in an African context. Part II, on culture, human rights and democracy, examines these crucial aspects of social problems in Africa, as well as issues such as language and colonialism. Part III focuses on poverty and inequality, while conflict and violence is the focus of Part IV. Together, the chapters in this volume provide the most comprehensive and systematic approach to the issues available, bringing much-needed attention to the problems in Africa from the perspective of scholars who have lived and worked there.
For author Lily Farmer, growing up on a farm in Minnesota was one of the most treasured times of her life. In How My Life Changed Moving from Farm Life to City Life, she narrates her story. Meant as a legacy for her children, grandchildren, family, and friends, this memoir shares a wide range of anecdotes, thoughts, and lessons learned—ranging from her childhood, family, divorce, and her love of God and her Christian faith. Farmer tells how she had the most exciting and rewarding life a child could dream of as she experienced a host of adventures on the farm. She discusses how she made the difficult transition to city life when she was barely eighteen years old. As she relays the importance of God in her life, Farmer discusses how she’s been poor, and she’s been rich. She now lives a comfortable life with a roof over her head and food on the table.
