Trade Review
"Andrew Deener writes clearly and engagingly about development and gentrification in Venice, one of those places that everyone has heard about but few people actually know. Unfailingly interesting to anyone interested in urbanism, urban sociology, and history, this first-class book will command respect from scholars. Deener clearly knows what he's talking about, and when he's through, so do you." -Howard S. Becker, University of California, Santa Barbara"
