THE URBAN WORLD

My book arrived early and in exactly the condition advertised. I appreciate your service and will shop here again whenever possible.

Informative and relatively interesting read

I got this book for a class but I was pleasantly surprised that it was easier to get through than a lot of textbooks. Has a lot of random but interesting facts and a good number a photos to break up the text.
