Praise from Kirkus Reviews
“Visually,
Vitale’s CD-ROM e-book is a triumph chock-full of stunning images, on scales
both intimate and grand: pretty suburban streetscapes; the awesome high-rise
fortress of Kowloon, China’s Walled City; and the wispy Norwegian town of
Baerum Akershus, “lacy and fragile, cling[ing] to the earth like a delicate
slime net.” Raptly evocative prose crackling with ideas makes a stimulating
accompaniment to the visual content… his conceit is a fruitful, fascinating one
that yields rich insights into the urban ecology.
A superb
pictorial and video meditation on the life of cities.” —Kirkus Reviews
