London and New York: Verso, 1990. First Edition. Hardcover. Very good/Very good. Inscribed by Mike Davis on the half-title. Marxist historical, economic, and cultural dissection of Los Angeles, its residents and their lifestyles and their interactions with real estate developers. Notable for predicting some of the tensions that would lead into the 1992 Los Angeles riots, it stills wields considerable influence in the fields of sociology and urban studies. Illustrated with photographs by Robert Morrow. Octavo: 462 p. Original black cloth binding, with silver titles. Light bumping to the tips. The dust jacket is moderately sun faded along the spine, with some mild shelfwear; otherwise very good.
