Book of the Moment

On Tuesday this week, the latest book by Jane Jacobs, the renowned author of The Death and Life of Great American Cities and Cities and the Wealth of Nations was released. Titled Dark Age Ahead, the book deals with the decay of culture in North America and the imminent arrival of our own dark age. Although the title and synopsis sounds bleak, like most of her books Jacobs finds a way to shine an optimistic light upon her observations of culture and our environment.
