The Ann Arbor campus of the University of Michigan has a blend of architecture that is as varied as is the University itself. This convenient and selective guide describes the most beautiful, interesting, and historic buildings on a campus rich in tradition. Photographs and an impressive aerial map help the visitor around a sometimes baffling complex of buildings, streets, and walkways. The text, compiled and written by Margo MacInnes with the assistance of Wystan Stevens, will provide hours of reading enjoyment. The book also offers a historical perspective on the University's other points of interest, such as Matthaei Botanical Gardens. No other guidebook provides you with such inclusive information about the University of Michigan.

Intense attention has been paid to Detroit as a site of urban crisis. This crisis, however, has not only yielded the massive devaluation of real estate that has so often been noted; it has also yielded an explosive production of seemingly valueless urban property that has facilitated the imagination and practice of alternative urbanisms. The first sustained study of Detroit’s alternative urban cultures, The Unreal Estate Guide to Detroit initiates a new focus on Detroit as a site not only of urban crisis but also of urban possibility. The Guide documents art and curatorial practices, community and guerilla gardens, urban farming and forestry, cultural platforms, living archives, evangelical missions, temporary public spaces, intentional communities, furtive monuments, outsider architecture, and other work made possible by the ready availability of urban space in Detroit. The Guide poses these spaces as “unreal estate”: urban territory that has slipped through the free- market economy and entered other regimes of value, other contexts of meaning, and other systems of use. The appropriation of this territory in Detroit, the Guide suggests, offers new perspectives on what a city is and can be, especially in a time of urban crisis.
