That America entered a profound housing crisis in 2008 is well
known. The wave of foreclosures that began to sweep the nation has
had radical economic effects. But the force, ramifications, and
implications for communities across America have never been spelled
out as clearly and thoroughly as they are in this volume. As he did
in Tomorrow's Cities, Tomorrow's Suburbs, the author has taken a
clear-eyed and meticulous look at the latest data and found lessons
that the mainstream discussion has overlooked - particularly with
regard to the spatial and demographic implications of the housing
crisis. The housing market did not collapse uniformly, and the pain
has not been felt equally in all age groups. Planners, public
officials, activists, students, and others will benefit from the
author's's analysis of the real shape of the crisis, for what
happens next will reflect these inequities. The author pulls no
punches in this taut, readable assessment of what the crisis will
mean for the shapes of our exurbs, older suburbs, and central
cities.

As he did in Tomorrow's Cities, Tomorrow's Suburbs, William Lucy
has taken a clear-eyed and meticulous look at the latest data and
found lessons that the mainstream discussion has overlooked -
particularly with regard to the spatial and demographic
implications of the housing crisis. The housing market did not
collapse uniformly, and the pain has not been felt equally in all

pulls no punches in this taut, readable assessment of what the
crisis will mean for the shapes of our exurbs, older suburbs, and
central cities. No responsible planner or housing professional can
afford to miss this book.
Explaining and Understanding Adjudication is the first book that
attempts to analyse and define the methodology and values of
contemporary accounts of adjudication, which can be divided into
orthodox philosophies on the one hand and heretical accounts on the
other. The author offers an incisive and original analysis of how
these supposedly incompatible accounts actually differ. Through an
evaluation of Neil MacCormick, Joseph Raz and Ronald Dworkin as the
principal exponents of the orthodoxy and Duncan Kennedy and Roberto
Unger providing the heretical accounts, William Lucy argues that
there are few important differences between the two. Rather, the
author concludes, both theories have acute problems in relation to
the methodology and values they apply in interpreting adjudication.
Law's Judgement elucidates and defends a feature of contemporary
law that is currently either overlooked or too glibly dismissed as
morally troublesome or historically anachronistic. That feature is
the abstract nature of law's judgement and its three components
show that, when law judges us, it often does so in ignorance of our
particular characters and abilities, on the one hand, and in
ignorance of our context and circumstances, on the other. Law's
judgement is thus insensitive to all or much that makes us the
particular people we are. The book explores various connections
between this mode of judgement and some of our most important legal
and political values. It shows that law's abstract judgement is
closely related to important juristic conceptions of personhood,
responsibility and impartiality, and that these notions are not
without moral significance. The book also examines the connections
between modern law's judgement and three of our most important
political values, namely, dignity, equality and community. It
argues that, if we value particular conceptions of dignity,
equality and community, then we must also value law's judgement.
Illuminating these connections therefore serves a double purpose:
first, it makes a case against those who counsel liberation from
law's abstract judgement and, second, it redirects attention to the
task of morally evaluating law's abstract judgement in its own
terms.
Cities ruled the first half of the 20th century; the second half
belonged to the suburbs. Will cities become dominant again? Can the
recent decline of many suburbs be slowed? This book predicts a
surprising outcome in the decades-long tug-of-war between urban
hubs and suburban outposts. The authors document signs of
resurgence in cities and i

The National Portrait Gallery's collections hold numerous portraits
of creative partnerships. This book looks at the extensive
collection of the Gallery and explores the role of love and the
people featured both as sitters and artists. Drawing on recent

Barbara Hepworth and Ben Nicholson;and love and the lens,which
exploresthe stories of Laurence Olivier and Vivien Leigh,and Mick
and Bianca Jagger. Love Stories will be brought to life through the
perspective of various authors, using material from the sitter's
own letters, diaries and poetry, while highlighting their
connection and influence on some of the greatest masterpieces of
art.
While cities ruled the first half of the twentieth century, the
second half belonged to the suburbs. "Tomorrow's Cities, Tomorrow's
Suburbs" answers the question of which will dominate in the
twenty-first century.
William H. Lucy and David L. Phillips assess the contemporary
struggle between urban hubs and suburban outposts, documenting the
signs of resurgence in cities and the omens of suburban decline.
Using clues about the life cycles of cities and suburbs, from
changing income rates to perceptions of crime, "Tomorrow's Cities,
Tomorrow's Suburbs" punctures myths about the relative health of
cities and suburbs; offers insights into the influence of housing,
racial segregation, immigration, and poverty on population changes
in cities and suburbs; and examines popular perceptions--and
misperceptions--about cities and suburbs that similarly affect
settlement patterns.
Suggesting that urban decline can be halted and even reversed,
"Tomorrow's Cities, Tomorrow's Suburbs" offers practical
suggestions for local planners, officials, and citizens as they
work to create an environment in which "both" cities and suburbs
thrive.
On what basis does tort law hold us responsible to those who suffer
as a result of our carelessness? Why, when we breach our contracts,
should we make good the losses of those with whom we contracted? In
what sense are our torts and our breaches of contract 'wrongs'?
These two branches of private law have for centuries provided
philosophers and jurists with grounds for puzzlement. This book
provides an outline of, and intervention in, contemporary
jurisprudential debates about the nature and foundation of
liability in private law. After outlining the realm of the
philosophy of private law, the book divides into two. Part I
examines the various components of liability responsibility in
private law, including the notions of basic responsibility,
conduct, causation and wrongfulness. Part II considers arguments
purporting to show that private law does and should embody a
conception of either distributive or corrective justice or some
combination of the two. Throughout the book a number of
distinctions - between conceptual and normative argument, between
jurisprudential 'theory' and private law 'practice', between legal
obligation and moral obligation - are analyzed, the aim being to
give students an informed grasp of both the limits and
possibilities of the philosophy of private law.
