Books Received

EDITORIAL NOTE: For some years this journal has published an annual listing of "Books Received." We propose now to publish such a listing in each issue, to increase the time- liness of the information. To make the section more useful for a variety of readers, the listings will be categorized under several general headings, as demonstrated below; and those books which seem to be of greatest interest and relevance for our field will be treated with a brief annotation describing

their content. The appearance of a given book in the "Books Received" section does not imply that it will not receive a full-scale review in some later issue. We are unable, however, to publish evaluative reviews of more than a small fraction of the relevant material, and the time-lag is often substan- tial. Readers are encouraged to let us know their reactions to this new feature, and to suggest specific ways of making it most useful.

FORRESTER, JAY W. Urban Dynamics. Cam- bridge, Mass.: MIT Press, 1969. Pp. 285. $12.50. The author has developed in detail two types of simulation models of the processes that affect the life and decay of cities, which permit experiments on digital computers. One, a growth model, generates the life cycle of an urban area from its founding through growth to its arrival at a state of stag- nation and decay after a period of 250 years. The other begins with the resulting depressed conditions and is used to examine how vari- ous policies would alter the condition of the urban area over the next 50 years.
