How Many People Rome Might Have Contained at the Height of Its Greatness -- Bibliography of Works Cited -- IndexThe first treatise ever written on the sociology of cities, On the Causes of the Greatness and Magnificence of Cities (1588) marked a radical departure from previous literature on urban centres. It provided a revolutionary analysis of how cities function, and of the political, economic, demographic and geographic factors that cause their growth and decline. Noteworthy too is Botero's strikingly original use of sources in his analysis: moving beyond familiar classical and biblical references, he drew groundbreaking insights from reports by travelers and missionaries about cities in the non-European world, especially in China.Though seminally important to the history of urban studies, On the Causes of the Greatness and Magnificence of Cities has not been available in a modern translation until now. This edition of the treatise - which includes an introduction by Geoffrey W. Symcox on the intellectual context within which it was conceived - is a must-read for anyone interested in the life of cities both historical and contemporary.Lorenzo da Ponte Italian library.Cities and townsEarly works to 1800Urban economicsEarly works to 1800Sociology, UrbanEarly works to 1800Electronic books.Cities and townsUrban economicsSociology, Urban307.76Botero Giovanni1540-1617,250891Symcox GeoffreyMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910452485103321On the causes of the greatness and magnificence of cities, 15882288403UNINA02683oam 2200577I 450 991096503520332120240401182007.01-04-021191-70-429-16057-71-4822-2352-X10.1201/b16668(CKB)3710000000096897(EBL)1398234(SSID)ssj0001175421(PQKBManifestationID)11772572(PQKBTitleCode)TC0001175421(PQKBWorkID)11116269(PQKB)11304705(MiAaPQ)EBC1398234(OCoLC)857368685(EXLCZ)99371000000009689720180331h20142014 uy 0engur|n|---|||||txtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierAdvances in chromatographyVolume 52 /editors, Eli Grushka, Nelu Grinberg1st ed.Boca Raton, FL :CRC Press,[2014]©20141 online resource (262 p.)Advances in ChromatographyDescription based upon print version of record.1-4822-2350-3 Includes bibliographical references at the end of each chapters.Front Cover; Table of Contents; Contributors; Chapter 1: Advances in Aerosol-Based Detectors; Chapter 2: Integration of Analytical Techniques for Protein Biomarker Assays; Chapter 3: Multilinear Gradient Elution Optimization in Liquid Chromatography; Chapter 4: Analytical Separation of Enantiomers by Gas Chromatography on Chiral Stationary Phases; Chapter 5: Analysis of Dynamic Phenomena in Liquid Chromatographic Systems with Reactions in the Mobile Phase; Back CoverPresenting the latest developments in the field for more than four decades, the Advances in Chromatography series is relied on by scientists and researchers for the most up-to-date information on a wide range of chromatographic methods and applications.
