busman's holiday, from AAG newsletter

Some geography-related books I'd like to read, that UMN either doesn't have yet, or that would have to be recalled:

Beyond the metropolis: urban geography as if small cities mattered. B. Ofori-Amoah. 2007
I there's a lot to say about small cities, and I think the processes that operate there are very different than in large cities. Scale really matters.

Nature and national identity after communism: globalizing the ethnoscape. K.Z.S. Schwartz. 2006.

Globaloney: unraveling the myths of globalization. M. Veseth. 2006.
Always good to have an alternate perspective from the anti-neoliberal, handwringing left.
