- Progress : How One Idea Built Civilization and Now Threatens to Destroy It. by McDonald, Samuel Miller.;
- Progress is power. It has built cities, delved the oceans and space, created wealth, opportunity, and remarkable innovation. But the modern story of progress is also a very dangerous fiction. In 'Progress', Samuel Miller McDonald offers a radical new perspective on the myths upon which the modern world is built, illuminating its destructive lineage and suggesting an urgent alternative. McDonald argues that if humanity is to thrive, then we must dismantle, reimagine, and create anew what progress means.Library Bound Incorporated

Messy cities : why we can't plan everything.
- "Can messiness make our cities more liveable, lively, and inclusive? Crowded streets, sidewalk vendors, jumbled architecture, constant clamour, graffitied walls, parks gone wild: are these signs of a poorly managed city or indicators of urban vitality? Messy Cities: Why We Can't Plan Everything argues that spontaneity and urban work-around are not liabilities but essential elements in all thriving cities. Forty essays by a range of writers from around the world illuminate the role of messy urbanism in enabling creativity, enterprise, and grassroots initiatives to flourish within dense modern cities. With pieces on guerrilla beaches, desire lines, urban interruptions, and the inner lives of unlovely buildings written by experts from all walks of life, Messy Cities makes the case for embracing disorder while not shying away from confronting its challenges"--Library Bound Incorporated
