Download Eyes on the Street: The Life of Jane Jacobs AudioBook Free
The first major biography of the irrepressible girl who changed the way we view and are in places and whose affect can be felt in any discussion of urban planning to this day. Eyes on the Block is a revelation of the remarkable woman who increased three children, composed seven groundbreaking literature, saved neighborhoods, quit expressways, was arrested twice, and involved at home and on the streets in thousands of debates - all of which she won. This is actually the child who challenged her third-grade tutor; the high school poet; the journalist who honed her writing skills at Flat iron Era, Architectural Website, Lot of money, and other shops while amassing the data she would draw upon to create her most well-known book, The Loss of life and Life of Great American Towns. Here, too, is the activist who helped lead an eventually successful protest against Robert Moses' suggested expressway through her favorite Greenwich Village and who, in order to keep her sons from the Vietnam War, changed to Canada, where she became as well known and admired as she was in america.
