{"product_id":"urban-texas-char-miller-9780890963975","title":"Urban Texas: Politics and Development","description":"The major cities of Texas have developed through a complex web of politics, society, and economics. To describe and explain the state's urban evolution, the contributors to \u003ci\u003eUrban Texas\u003c\/i\u003e use comparative and multidisciplinary perspectives that explore the relationships among interest groups and voting; religion, reform, gender, and race; civic clubs and suburbs; infrastructure and land development. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eTexas' cities have experienced boom and expansion, bust and depression. They have also been marked by inequity and disadvantage. Today's cities face not only the limits of a period of economic downturn, but also the inheritance of a history of bias and public-sector inactivity. The story of such forces, challenges the myths that surround Texas' explosive growth and probes the staggering costs that growth has entailed.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Char Miller\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0890963975\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780890963975\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Texas A\u0026amp;M University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/01\/2000\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 224\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.76lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.22w x 0.59d","brand":"Char Miller","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43947456692479,"sku":"9780890963975","price":19.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_c8c9283b-e213-4d29-9d6f-073ab57aa373.jpg?v=1681518837","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/urban-texas-char-miller-9780890963975","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
