Leif Jerram's new book Streetlife














Above:  have finally got round to reading last week's TLS which included an in-depth review by Anson Rabinbach of Leif Jerram's new book Streetlife, a survey of urban life in Europe during the twentieth century.














Above:  I think Streetlife is a book to get out of the library rather than actually buy.  But Rabinbach's review is worth reading in itself, lots of condensed information in an elegant style.  Obviously the recent inner city riots have already made some conclusions in the book out of date.
