Hardcover. Condición: Fine in Fine dust jacket. 8vo., 598 pp. Decorated endpapers. Modern Library edition. Later print. Described by The New York Times as 'perhaps the most influential single work in the history of town planning.[It] can also be seen in a much larger context. It is first of all a work of literature; the descriptions of street life as a kind of ballet and the bitingly satiric account of traditional planning theory can still be read for pleasure even by those who long ago absorbed and appropriated the book's arguments.' The author has written a new foreword for this Modern Library edition.…

CONTENTS: Foreword; Maps and Photographs; Hannah's Alaska Chronology; Memoir by Hannah Breece; Commentary; Notes and Citations; Acknowledgments; Index. SYNOPSIS: When Hannah Breece came to Alaska in 1904, it was a remote, lawless wilderness of gold prospectors, murderous bootleggers, tribal chiefs, and Russian priests. She spent fourteen years educating Athabascans, Aleuts, Inuits, and Russians with the stubborn generosity of a born teacher and the clarity of an original and bravely independent mind. Her eyewitness account is more than an adventure story--it provides a unique glimpse of white settlers' behavior toward native communities at the turn of the twentieth century. Hannah Breece's great-niece Jane Jacobs, author of The Death and Life of Great American Cities and one of Canada's most distinguished writers and thinkers, faithfully retraces her great-aunt's footsteps in Alaska and the Yukon, deftly filling in narrative gaps and adding historical context to let Breece's memoir speak in its own clear voice. What emerges is a transgenerational collaboration that is also a riveting act of literary recovery and an important work of women's history. Jane Jacobs is the author of five critically acclaimed and influential books, including The Death and Life of Great American Cities, The Economy of Cities, Cities and the Wealth of Nations, and the best-selling Systems of Survival. She lives in Toronto and was recently made an Officer of the Order of Canada. Size: Elephant Folio - over 15" - 23" tall.…
