The prose flows easily, guided by a sense of quiet authority and an elegance with words. The authors have also made good use of some telling illustrations, culled from domestic science and other archives.' - Built Environment 'This book is a truly magnificent achievement and deserves to be widely read and used by students for many generations to come...' - Planning Perspectives 'This is an interesting book to read, well illustrated and thoughtful.' - Urban Studies 'a fascinating book.
