Taylor & Francis Suburban Xanadu
Book SynopsisUrban gambling, linked to poverty, crime and corruption, was once considered a blight on US cities. Gambling then followed the exodus of Americans into the suburbs after World War II and now, at the beginning of the 21st century, most Americans live within a four-hour drive of a casino. What explains the success of places like Las Vegas? The self-contained casino resort removes gambling and its social problems from cities and provides Americans with the comfort of gambling in a setting matched to their suburban lifestyle. In a detailed look at the growth of the earliest casino resorts to the pleasure palaces and riverboat casinos of today, Suburban Xanadu locates the rise of the casino resort in suburbanization and the significance of this development for today.Trade Review"Suburban Xanadu is an important addition to what we know about America's most exciting and controversial city. Dave Schwartz peels back myth to get to the heart of what really makes Las Vegas tick. A must for anyone who cares about culture in the new century!" -- Hal Rothman, author of Neon Metropolis: How Las Vegas Started theTwenty-First Century"Suburban Xanadu tells the fascinating story of the rise of casinos on the Las Vegas Strip--something that has been much needed. Using the extensive Gaming Collection at UNLV, Dave Schwartz shows us that the popularity of casinos is no accident, but part of larger trends in American history. He approaches the topic with intelligence and thoughtfulness, and the result is a book that does a great job of explaining why Americans like casino resorts so much." -- Steve Wynn, Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer of Wynn Resorts"Highly Recommended! Suburban Xanadu is a colorful and authoritative reading of the history of casino resort development in the United States. Schwartz's thesis--that Las Vegas in the 1950s and 1960s was brilliantly marketed as a safe vacation adventure for middle Americans trapped within everyday lives of conservatism and conformity--is both perceptive and spot-on." -- John Hannigan, author of Fantasy City: Pleasure and Profit in the PostmodernMetropolisTable of ContentsIntroduction 1. The Righteous and the Wicked 2. The Unwholesome Allure 3. A Fruitful Containment 4. Organizing Luck 5. Wiseguy Empire 6. When the Suits Come Marching In 7.

Book SynopsisScott Prudham investigates a region that has in recent years seen more environmental conflict than perhaps anywhere else in the country--the old-growth forests of the Pacific Northwest. Prudham employs a political economic approach to explain the social and economic conflicts arising from the timber industry''s presence in the region. As well, he provides a thorough accounting of the timber industry itself, tracing its motivations, practices, and labor relations.Trade Review"This book arrived on my desk two days after the U.S. Senate voted down, yet again, legislation that would have begun the process of finally dealing with climate change, albeit in a tiny, timid way. I wish that every member of that chamber could be forced to read this book--to realize that global warming is not some distant threat, but a very present reality. It is a powerful document of witness." -- Bill McKibben, author of The End of NatureTable of ContentsAcknowledgments 1 The Political Economy of an Ecological Crisis 2 Working the Land: Production Relations in Logging and Reforestation 3 Industrial Ecologies and Regional Geographies 4 Geographies of Scale and Scope in Lumbering 5 Toward Organic Machines: The Historical Political Economy of Douglas-Fir Tree Improvement 6 Timber and Down: The Rise and Fall of Sustained Yield Regulation in Oregon's Illinois Valley 7 Epilogue: Owls, Ecosystems, and the New Forestry
