Developments in methodologies, agglomeration, and a range of
applied issues have characterized recent advances in regional and
urban studies. Volume 5 concentrates on these developments while
treating traditional subjects such as housing, the costs and
benefits of cities, and policy issues beyond regional inequalities.
Contributors make a habit of combining theory and empirics in each
chapter, guiding research amid a trend in applied economics towards
structural and quasi-experimental approaches. Clearly distinguished
from the New Economic Geography covered by Volume 4, these articles
feature an international approach that positions recent advances
within the discipline of economics and society at large.

On a fox chase, the lead dog heads the pack, and often pays a
fearsome price. Such a dog is metaphor for people who step forth,
when times get rough, into harm's way. Follow the life and times of
a rural, Southern-Indiana family, with roots that reach back before
the American Revolution, through the Civil War, and on to and
through the Great Depression (1929-1941). From Chapter 5 on, the
story spans the years from 1920 to 1944. Eudora Welty has written
that all novels are about family. This one tells of a farm family
the 20th Century had left behind. On their path to a new state of
affairs, they endure primitive lives, best illustrated by a rancid
outdoor toilet, a stone's throw from the home on their 80-acre
farm. Yet with the coming of rural electricity in 1940, homes turn
on lights. Gone are coal-oil lamps and Saturday night baths in a
rain tub, hidden away in the kitchen near the wood-fired stove,
with doors locked. Stella, wife and mother, is a former librarian
who had grown up in a small town and known better times. On the
farm, with the help of her children, after long effort and
frustration along the way, she finally persuades husband Stanford
to arrange for needed improvements in their lives. Finally, with
lighting and indoor plumbing enabled by electricity, family members
begin to live better lives as electric pumps bring in water from
deep wells into kitchens and bathrooms. Like all mothers, Stella is
the glue that holds the family together, through good times and
bad. Early chapters tell of Stanford's father, Walter, his odyssey
through the Civil War, and Stanford's coming of age in 1900. In
1920 he persuades Stella to marry him, and they begin a family.
With the coming of WWII, Jacob and two older brothers are drawn
into the war. One would not return.
