Publisher's hardcover.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis 1905 volume is one of the foundational Russian-language publications in the field of urban studies (urban sociology and economics), appearing at the dawn of the 20th century. The text provides a deep dive into the internal logic of the modern metropolis, including the arrangement of influential essays by leading German social thinkers of the era. The collection features Georg Simmel's seminal work \"The Metropolis and Mental Life\" (translated here as \"Big Cities and Spiritual Life\"), which explores the psychological impact of urban environments on the individual, as well as Karl Bücher’s historical analysis of urban growth.  Other critical contributions include Georg Mayr’s demographic studies of city populations, H. Wentig’s analysis of the economic primacy of large cities, and D. Schäfer’s exploration of their geopolitical and strategic importance. As a vital primary source, this volume documents the intellectual reception of European sociological theories in Imperial Russia during a period of rapid industrialization and social upheaval. Edited by the prominent Russian economist Ivan Ozerov, the book represents a pioneering attempt to systematically study the \"Big City\" as a distinct socio-economic phenomenon. Published in a small-format hardcover by the prestigious \"Prosveshcheniye\" partnership, this edition is a significant bibliographical rarity for urbanists, sociologists, historians of Saint Petersburg, and collectors of pre-revolutionary social science literature.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Stanza Rare Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44126543904810,"sku":"BOOK-BIGCIT-KNJA","price":200.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0701\/6359\/5306\/files\/IMG_7253.jpg?v=1771947489","url":"https:\/\/stanzararebooks.com\/products\/big-cities-their-social-political-and-economic-significance-bolshiye-goroda-ikh-obshchestvennoye-politicheskoye-i-ekonomicheskoye-znacheniye-1905-in-russian","provider":"Stanza Rare Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
