There is an imagined dichotomy between American big cities and small towns. The former are supposedly unfriendly, impersonal, and prone to social deviance. The latter are warm and friendly, like a nurturing extended family. A. argues
that these sterotypes have blinded us to locality-based communities within the big cities. He calls for a fuller understanding of how small town idealizations have influenced metropolitan America. - (SLD)

Development of a Late Quaternary marine terraced landscape during on-going tectonic contraction, Crescent City, coastal plain, California
The aim of this paper is to use marine terrace age and distribution to identify the pattern of the late Quaternary deformation in the Crescent City coastal plain. The AA. determined how many marine terraces make up the Crescent City coastal plain
The AA. examine the range of these cities developed in the tropics with reference to 1) their site-related problems, 2) the nature of geomorphological information required for specific ameliorating actions, and 3) the level of management required
for city maintenance. Management requires interfacing geomorphology with engineering practices and urban planning. They present case studies of cities ranging from those with limited problems and possible engineering and land-zoning solutions (Singapore
) to cities where the hazards are so acute that a practical solution is difficult to achieve (Kingston, Bangkok).
