Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from European Cities at Work Some years ago I wrote a book which bore the title "The City: The Hope of Democracy." The subtitle was received with protest by some, with incredulity by others. There was little to justify hope at that time. Our cities were under the searchlight, and the evils disclosed seemed inherent in great industrial aggregations of people. How could the city govern itself honestly and efficiently under democratic forms: how could it assimilate great masses of untrained foreign born people; how could it relieve poverty, vice, and disease? The city seemed to many to be the behemoth of civilization. Since then there have been house-cleanings all over the land. A new feeling of confidence has arisen, in which democracy is the dominant note. Reform has brought with it the commission form of government, simple, direct primaries, the short ballot, and the abolition of the party emblem on the one hand, and on the other the ownership or control of public-service corporations, the protection of human health and life, the play-ground, and, more recently, the comprehensive planning and building of cities.

Book Synopsis The Government of European Cities (Classic Reprint) by : William Bennett Munro
Download or read book The Government of European Cities (Classic Reprint) written by William Bennett Munro and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-12 with total page 428 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Government of European Cities The purpose of this volume is to explain, in a general way, the structure and functions of city government in three European countries, and to contrast these, wherever they may be appropriately compared, with the structure and functions of city government in the United States. It has been my aim to describe who the city authorities are, how they are chosen, what they do, and how they do it; but not to examine in detail the physical operation of municipal services or the minutiae of municipal administration. Considerable attention has been devoted to the relations of the civic and state authorities in each of these countries; for the writer believes that this is one of the most important of all the phases of local administration. The book is intended to afford an introduction to the study of European city governments, and no attempt has been made to deal in exhaustive fashion with any aspect of the subject. To bring the narrative within reasonable compass it has been necessary to omit many matters of some importance, and to deal in a paragraph with other things which might well have a page. With this in mind an endeavor has been made to indicate in the footnotes convenient sources from which further information may be drawn by readers who may become interested in any part of the general field. In the task of preparing the volume I have received generous and valued assistance from many quarters. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Synopsis Crisis of the Cities (Classic Reprint) by : Frederick K. Huntington-Vigman
Download or read book Crisis of the Cities (Classic Reprint) written by Frederick K. Huntington-Vigman and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-09 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Crisis of the Cities The many entries under the caption City Administration stressed problem of, reform of, evils of, our failures in and the like. Concerted attack on municipal corruption had not yet reached its crest, but it was gathering momentum. Equally extensive were the entries under the heading, Housing of the Working Classes and of the Poor in Cities and the section on water supply and sanitation was surprisingly long. On the other hand there were comparatively few entries for public works and home rule; the only item on city plan ning was Planning the Site for a City, a technical study by Lewis M. Haupt in Engineering Magazine for 1895. Three years later Brooks prepared, with the help of Dr. Milo R. Maltbie, A Bibliography of Municipal Problems and City Conditions, complete to 1901. Explaining the need for the work, Brooks wrote since the publication of the first edition of this work in 1897, the literature on cities has grown so rapidly that from three to four times as much space is now required to list it adequately. References to European cities reflected growing interest in comparative studies. The project, Sponsored by the Reform Club, was suspended when the re form movement receded, following on a number of victories for mea sures it had sponsored. In this interim the most intensive studies of municipal affairs shifted to such universities as maintained chairs in municipal government and political science.

Book Synopsis Housing Reform by : Lawrence Veiller
Download or read book Housing Reform written by Lawrence Veiller and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-20 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Housing Reform: A Hand-Book for Practical Use in American Cities And as First Deputy Tenement Commissioner during the two years after the Department came into existence he had a large part in the initial enforcement of that law. The last chapter in the book contains a collection of negative "Don'ts." All the previous chapters deal with affirmative "Do's." If I were to emphasize any particular line of affirmative action in housing reform, it would be the prevention of the tenement disease before any city begins to suffer from it. We Americans have an unhappy faculty of not remembering until after we have forgotten, of not beginning to conserve our resources and save our forests until after we have lost them. But we are surely practical enough to profit by experience. And experience applied to housing reform establishes the proposition which should be printed in large type that No growing American City, However Free From Tenements Now, Can Afford To Be Without Building Regulations To Prevent Dark Rooms And Unsanitary Conditions. There is no hardship to anyone in so regulating the future building of all houses intended to contain three or more families as to ensure an open space in the rear, a window for every room, opening either on the street or an open rear or an open court proportioned to height, also water supply, sewer connection and a separate toilet.

Book Synopsis Plague, Print, and the Reformation by : Erik A. Heinrichs
Download or read book Plague, Print, and the Reformation written by Erik A. Heinrichs and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-11-01 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book surveys a neglected set of sources, German plague prints and treatises published between 1473 and 1573, in order to explore the intertwined histories of plague, print, medicine and religion during the Reformation era. It argues that a particularly German reform of healing flourished in printed texts during the Renaissance and Reformation as physicians and clerics devised innovative responses to the era’s persistent epidemics. These reforms are "German" since they reflect the innovative trends that originated in or were particularly strong within German-speaking lands, including the rapid growth of vernacular print, Protestantism, and new interest in alchemy and the native plants of Northern Europe that were unknown to the ancients. Their reforms are also "German" in the sense that they unfolded mainly in vernacular print, which encouraged physicians to produce local knowledge, grounded in personal experience and local observations as much as universal theories. This book contributes to the history of medicine and science by tracing the growth of more empirical forms of medical knowledge. It also contributes to the history of the Renaissance and Reformation by uncovering the innovative contributions of various forgotten physicians. This book presents the broadest study of German plague treatises in any language.
