Stories and narratives involving everything from war to playground disputes generate, sustain, mediate, and represent conflict at all levels of social organization.

Murray Cornell University Press, 2008 Good reference for urban planners This book is a good reference for urban planners, however I don't find Johannesburg's urban decay much different than many major metropolitan areas in the world. Johannesburg's was obviously more intense due to apartheid, but not a whole lot more exaggerated than that of Chicago.             Dark and Disorderly4 reviews Carina Press, 2010 50% Ghost Story, 50% Mystery, 100% Great!

However, the main characters are better, ( i'm very fond of bunnies) and the outcome and plot are less distrubing than the whole rolly-polly pudding thing, and the patty-pan. Still, one must wonder what social allagorie does "the man with the gun afford". Buy this book, get the whole series, they really are very ...             Disorderly Elements (Felony & Mayhem Mysteries)4 reviews Bob Cook Felony & Mayhem, 2006 charming spies I wish I had known about Bob Cook earlier, when his other books were in print.

I enjoyed every page, even going through the tough times with her. Her "If life gives you lemons, make lemonade" attitude is an inspiration and I've tried several of her recipes -- they're keepers! Reading her down-to-earth style is like enjoying a nice chat with a personal ...             Disorderly Conduct: Visions of Gender in Victorian America1 review Carroll Smith-Rosenberg Oxford University Press, USA, 1986 A readable, valuable, US history I found this book to be full of surprises. I now know that it is possible for a thorough, well researched history book to still be very readable.

DeGroot Harvard University Press, 2010 Worth reading for '60s historians A previous reviewer said this book is strictly negative, and that's partly true. The reason it has such a negative feel is because it attacks many sacred cows that we've come to associate with '60s history: Camelot, Woodstock, Haight-Ashbury, the moon landing, et al. Nothing is "all good" or "all bad," and if there's any decade in the 20th century that seems to organize itself in that way, in ...             Disorderly Women in Eighteenth-Century London: Prostitution and Control in the Metropolis, 1730-1830 (Women ... Tony Henderson Addison Wesley Publishing Company, 1999 This is the first full-length study of prostitution in London during the eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries. It is a compelling account, exposing the real lives of the capital's prostitutes, and also shedding light on London society as a whole, its policing systems and its attitudes towards the female urban poor. Drawing on the archives of London's parishes, jury records, reports from Southwark gaol as well as other sources which have ...             Disorderly Order: Colours in Silent Film : The 1995 Amsterdam Workshop1 review Netherlands) Amsterdam Workshop 1995 (Amsterdam, Daan Hertogs, ... Indiana University Press, 1998 Only if you are a film archivist This book is a transcript of a film festival of early color, silent films that was held in the Netherlands in 1995. By color, I mean two-strip technicolor, tinted, toned, or hand-stenciled color. This is a frustrating book for a couple of reasons. One reason is that the participants keep referring to specific scenes in a film. While there are about 20 beautifully reproduced color frames in ...             Policing Public Disorder: Theory and Practice David P. Waddington Willan Publishing (UK), 2007 This book takes an eciectic theoretical approach to understanding the causes and management of public disorder, drawing on social scientific studies of collective conflict, and the policing of crowds and social movements.

Jordan Spinsters Ink, 2006 Mixed Emotions For me, the criteria for a great reading experience is: character development, pace, and an ending that stays with me for days. This worked lacked all three, and yet I enjoyed it -- up until the last 30 pages. The opening chapters were superb. Imagine being a PI and having this looming figure walk into your office, toss $10,000 your way and tell you that she wants you to investigate a woman ...             Disorderly Liberty: The Political Culture of the Polish-lithuanian Commonwealth in the Eighteenth Century ...
