Great American City: Chicago and the Enduring Neighborhood EffectFor over fifty years numerous public intellectuals and social theorists have insisted that community is dead. Some would have us believe that we act solely as individuals choosing our own fates regardless of our surroundings, while other theories place us at the mercy of global forces beyond our control. These two perspectives dominate contemporary views of society, but by rejecting the importance of place they are both deeply flawed. Based on one of

For over fifty years numerous public intellectuals and social theorists have insisted that community is dead. Some would have us believe that we act solely as individuals choosing our own fates regardless of our surroundings, while other theories place us at the mercy of global forces beyond our control. These two perspectives dominate contemporary views of society, but by rejecting the importance of place they are both deeply flawed. Based on one of the most ambitious studies in the history of social science, Great American City argues that communities still matter because life is decisively shaped by where you live. To demonstrate the powerfully enduring impact of place, Robert J. Sampson presents here the fruits of over a decade's research in Chicago combined with his own unique personal observations about life in the city, from Cabrini Green to Trump Tower and Millennium Park to the Robert Taylor Homes. He discovers that neighborhoods influence a remarkably wide variety of social phenomena, including crime, health, civic engagement, home foreclosures, teen births, altruism, leadership networks, and immigration. Even national crises cannot halt the impact of place, Sampson finds, as he analyzes the consequences of the Great Recession and its aftermath, bringing his magisterial study up to the fall of 2010. Following in the influential tradition of the Chicago School of urban studies but updated for the twenty-first century, Great American City is at once a landmark research project, a commanding argument for a new theory of social life, and the story of an iconic city.

Failed in less than 1 year
Starter began making noise, and finally on the last start, it would not disengage from starting (as in it sounded like you were still turning the key after the vehicle was already started), so it burned out the starter, had to replace with one from o'reilly's. I don't reccomend this one

Wow! If they make this for your car BUY IT!
Style: HCC2122-X
I was surprised to see a reusable cabin air filter listing for my car. I didn't know such a thing existed. And they're the same price as a name brand disposable. I hate sending things off to the landfill, so being able to wash and re-use this, even if it breaks down after a few washings, is still saving the landfill and my pocket book. Quality feels excellent. Fit is tight, but with a bit of persistence it squeezes in. Sure, I realize this won't have the same micron level as a disposable, but, I routinely open doors and windows, and these filters area about catching the big stuff for me - not the molecules I can't see and get blown in as I enter/exit anyway. Super quality piece, I wish there was a fitment available for all my cars. I'm definitely keeping my eye out!

Size fit, well made and washable!!!
Style: HCC1017-X
After buying filters for ever, I came across this product. Well, why not? Washable? I got two so I can use the other after washing one. The filter fit inside the holder, it was a bit tight but fit for my 2006 Toyota Highlander. It is definitely more dense than regular filters, very well made. I will be looking now for a washable engine filter too.
