an anthropolgical book for the layman too.

Dr. Halperin's work on the East End of Cincinnati,Ohio is an easy read for everyone,you do not have to be a Phd.to appreciate this book.The author obviously lived this book and knew not only the neighborhood but the East Enders themselves on a very personal level,only then could she write about this community and the changes it has gone through in the last decade with such knowledge and insight.This should be a must read for anyone undergoing changes in their life or their community.Thank you Dr.Halperin for a book that everyone can understand and learn from.
