{"product_id":"lost-in-space-randall-amster-9781593322977","title":"Lost in Space: The Criminalization, Globalization and Urban Ecology of Homelessness","description":"Amster explores the historical and contemporary implications of homelessness as a social and spatial problem, drawing upon academic disciplines and policy concerns ranging from urban geography to legal advocacy. Homeless people find themselves in a struggle to preserve places that are theoretically open to everyone regardless of status. Urban spaces in particular manifest a complex ecology comprised of people, culture, architecture, technology, and the natural environment, expressed through gentrification, redevelopment, and privatization. In this ecology, homeless people are criminalized for performing basic activities such as sitting or sleeping. These trends are evident across the U.S. and internationally, linking local issues with wider forces of globalization.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Randall Amster\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1593322976\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781593322977\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e LFB Scholarly Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/01\/2008\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 284\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.80lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.64d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eReference and Research Bk News\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/01\/2008 pg. 159\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 07\/01\/2009","brand":"Randall Amster","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44616689025279,"sku":"9781593322977","price":32.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_2db4f568-6569-413a-a0cd-f32a204d05d3.jpg?v=1703021743","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/lost-in-space-randall-amster-9781593322977","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
