Description
Three components per entry (definition, "see also," and significance) offer thorough reference to some 600 terms pertinent to urban politics and those involved. A suggested reading list is also included for most terms--the more controversial and complicated entries, not the self- evident ones. Includes a subject index (unlike many works in the dictionary format). Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
