'[This book] will surely become a ‘must have’ text for all specialists... Kendall has certainly done his reading (judging by the scrupulous way in which his often-dense arguments are so properly referenced and footnoted, one is apt to fear for his eye-sight!). All these reviewing remarks demonstrate the power of a truly scholarly book. Its ambition and attention to detail are to be commended without reservation.' - Urban Studies, 2005
