<p>The dramatic expansion of the historically marginalized gaming industry has led to a proliferation of casinos in the American landscape. Casinos now draw concentrated flows of capital, goods, and people into the urban periphery throughout the country. In regions with existing Asian populations, these flows of casino patrons and workers have also brought recent Chinese immigrants into these sub-urban areas.  By framing the expansion of the gaming industry in terms of the unique types of urbanization that have emerged within existing sub-urban communities, SubUrbanisms explores the ways in which these casino company towns and china towns challenge the cultural assumptions, values, and norms rooted in the American suburban landscape. By documenting, interpreting, and speculating upon these urban transformations of the suburban fabric, SubUrbanisms provides alternative models to address the sustainabilities of American suburban living, as well as alternative understandings of hybrids, adaptive reuse, and informal, user-oriented, and bottom-up approaches to design.  Through case studies in CT, PA, and LA, SubUrbanisms addresses broader issues of assimilation, class, and race through the lens of architecture, landscape, and planning. With contributors representing fields ranging from anthropology to public policy, to urban and architectural history, this multidisciplinary study explores architecture and urbanism as it engages with social, political, and economic affairs of both local and national significance-from discriminatory housing policies to public space use and private property rights.</p>

<p>Stains Remain is a memoir, in story form, of a young man becoming an artist in the 1960s. Sketches of the art world as it was: the lives, ideas, affairs, rivalries, friendships. The author relates encounters with celebrated artists such as Rothko and Rauschenberg, as well as the still unknown Serra, LeWitt, De Maria and many others. A zeitgeist of creative youth in turbulent times spreading energy and inspiration around New York City, then letting their long hair down at Max's Kansas City.</p>
