While the economy and culture of the post-World War II South changed from an era of material capital (e.g., cotton and iron ore) to a period of social capital (intellectual development and networked approaches to social change), one of the most important components of urban life, the university, emerged as both a creator and a reflector of such modernization. This is the case with Birmingham and its youthful institution of higher learning, the University of Alabama at Birmingham. 676 $a378.761/781 700 $aMcWilliams$b Tennant S.$f1943-$01568275 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910778378503321 996 $aNew lights in the valley$93856221 997 $aUNINA
