Summary: A must read on socio-economic trends and real estate values
Review: A few other authors have touched on the trend in migration to what others call "micropolitan" area or "exurbs" but no one has done so with as broad and compelling a brush as Professor Lessinger. He goes back to the founding of this country and describes the five major "mind shifts" that we have lived through, and how each enabled and were enabled by key technologies, and how each produced major migration of populations. As he points out in this incredibly thoroughly researched book, these migrations have been far more significant than the westward or sunbelt migrations, and far more actionable for those hoping to capitalize on changing values for residential or commercial real estate. While some of his predictions don't seem to have panned out the thought process and evidence are great. It's a shame the book is out of print. I'm eager to see what Lessinger does when the 2000 census is out.

Summary: I love this book!
Review: I read this book for my book report, and I got an A! It is so gripping, has so much action and suspense, I just couldn't put it down! I have never read such a book as good as this besides "Puff: The Magic Dragon" and "Nightmare on Wall Street" All I can say is just WOW! I am amazed how this book isn't popular enough...I am trying to get all my friends to read it.
