Book Description
Leading scholars address the myriad ways in which America's attitudes about race informed the production of Hollywood films from the 1920s through the 1960s. From the predominantly white star system to segregated mise-en-scènes, Hollywood films reinforced institutionalized racism. The contributors to this volume examine how assumptions about white superiority and colored inferiority, and the politics of segregation and assimilation affected Hollywood's classic period.

Extraordinary story of two extraordinary individuals..........2004-02-09
One would be hard pressed to imagine two more successful, accomplished and acknowledged personalities in the music world than Rostropovich and Vishnevskaya. However, few realize how eventful and extraordinary their world has been. A study of this book would be a great enrichment to any individual, regardless of whether they are followers of Rostropovich or not...

Solid Book .......2007-08-29
This book is really serious. It gives you data sets, a massive amount of study questions with solutions and sample programs (Argus & Crystal Ball--which is used for probability). This book is like the bible. It goes from simple real estate i.e buy low & sell high all the way to mortgage backed securities, options and derivatives. After reading the book you will know more than most executives.
It may not be for those that are more into urban planning or construction management, but if you need and want a book that blends real estate with the capital markets this is the one.I highly recommend it.
Commercial Real Estate Analysis and Investments (with CD-ROM).......2007-05-29
Just everything okay, considering it had to be shipped from the US to the UK, arrived even earlier than some of the books I ordered same time from UK suppliers.
Small unsubstantial damage on cover of book though, probably caused by transport.
You better KNOW you care about commercial real estate.......2007-03-23
Commercial real estate is not for the faint of heart. I have been in residential real estate for a while and have on several occasions dealt with commercial real estate folks and issues surrounding it.
On the plus side, if you are looking for an exhaustive source of information on evaluating commercial real estate, you have arrived. This volume is going to give you all the information you need to analyze any situation to death. Perhaps to the point that small bits of brain dribble out your ear.
If your a dabbler... or someone who has thought, "Gee... I wonder if commercial real estate would be interesting to get into?" then this is NOT the place for you to start that journey of self discovery.
There are much smaller, shorter, lighter more digestible books out there on the subject that will give you a feel for what you might be getting into.
So, if you are someone already knee deep in commercial real estate, or someone deadly serious about being able to really analyze commercial properties, then this one is for you.
Review by Steve Vornea.......2006-12-11
This primer is ideal for the mid-level investor, or more sophisticated individual investor, lender, portfolio manager, or asset manager. Integrates the frontier financial economics into real estate and capital markets. It is an objective and in-depth book with a great deal of content.
Steven Harry Vornea
Astonishingly good book.......2006-06-14
This is an astonishingly good book, which integrates the best real estate research over the past decade into a practical textbook. It is pitched at masters level and is not recommended for people starting out their study of real estate.
Book Description
This work focuses on integrating land-use location science with the technology of geographic information systems (GIS). The text describes the basic principles of location decision and the means for applying them in order to improve the real estate decision.

Journal Of Real Estate Literature review of Thrall's Book.......2004-11-08
Book Review Of Thrall's Business Geography and New Real Estate Market Analysis
by
Dr. Larry E. Wofford,
former President of the American Real Estate Society, and former Chair, Real Estate, Tulsa University
from Journal Of Real Estate Literature, American Real Estate Society. Summer 2003.
Business Geography and New Real Estate Market Analysis by Grant Thrall is an ambitious, intriguing, and valuable book. Any book that purports in its title to offer something "new" immediately generates scrutiny. With this title, Thrall casts himself a challenge to produce something that is indeed new and, in order to be worth reading, valuable. Thrall succeeds in doing both. He does so less in the spirit of invention than in the spirit of discovery and synthesis. Indeed, in the preface, Thrall writes, "This book integrates ideas, methods, technologies, and objectives in an opportunistic manner to achieve the goal of providing information to improve the real estate decision."
In overview, the book is short, only 263 pages, including references and index. The length reflects a well-thought-out design and a concise writing style. Examples, tables, and graphics are used throughout to illustrate the conceptual content and its application. The book consists of two parts. Part I, "Overview, Theory, and Methods" contains about 100 pages and provides an overview of real estate markets and submarkets, land use and land value theories, and real estate market research. Part II, "Application to Real Estate Product Types" contains about 130 pages and addresses the detailed application of the theory and techniques considered in Part I to five primary property types, with an emphasis on research design and interpretation and the use of geographic information systems to analyze and present spatial information. Thrall effectively utilizes a "mentor" writing style throughout the book without being chatty.
Part I, "Overview, Theory, and Methods" Thrall provides the reader with insightful syntheses of geographic concepts and urban land economics. His discussions of submarkets and urban land use and value theories are particularly well done. Thrall's graphical approach to urban land values skillfully integrates standard microeconomics concepts into urban land use theory. The graphical approach presented in this book is a summary of much more detailed work in numerous articles by Thrall and in his 1987 book, Land Use and Urban Form.2 The theoretical presentation is accessible to those with varying levels of economic backgrounds. After reading this part of the book, the reader is well along the way to the author's goal of reasoning geographically, a prerequisite for the next major part of the book dealing with applying this knowledge.
In the application chapters, Thrall provides a structured framework for each property type. While tailored to each property type, the basic framework begins with an analysis of the economics of the subject property type, followed by market area delineation, the estimation of supply and demand, and, ultimately, the interpretation of the results and report preparation. Issues and techniques particular to each property type, such as the use of geography-based econometric models in office analysis, are presented. In each chapter the use of appropriate geographic technology to perform geographic and economic analyses is considered within the context of spatial reasoning.
The "new" aspect of the book centers on an excellent synthesis of business geography and urban land economics and the consideration of such topics as land use and land value theories, trade area determination, demand, and supply estimation. "New" also includes the incorporation of geographic information systems technology. The application of business geography and urban land economic concepts and geographic methodology and technology to improving real estate decisions makes the book particularly valuable to both academic and professional readers. As stated by Thrall, "Another of my goals in writing this book was to bridge the gap between industry and university, and to present a structure and knowledge base that I have found beneficial in getting the job done." In short, the reader learns to reason geographically.
A common complaint among real estate professionals is that land use and value theories are seldom rigorously linked to performing market research. Thrall thoughtfully integrates GIS technology to answer this complaint. He considers problems and pitfalls with the technology, as well as its potential. Thrall focuses on providing a theoretical and applied framework designed to develop the ability to convert data into information in a spatial context. Thrall highlights the relevance of geography by educating the reader on basic concepts, relationships, and technologies available to plan, execute, and interpret real estate market research. Thrall provides a valuable guide to the "why" of real estate market research.
In the classroom, the book would be an excellent primary text, especially if supplemented by problem and case-study assignments designed to provide hands-on experience with market research and geographic information technology. It should be noted that the book does not promote a particular GIS software package and does not cover in detail how to use any particular GIS software. Excellent books, supplemented with CDs, and internet-based courses exist for learning the mechanics of how to use GIS software. The numerous examples throughout the text provide readers with a viable connection between theory and practice. Given its brevity and concise writing style, the book will also work as a supplement to other real estate market analysis texts.
Thomas Kuhn noted that, for many fields of study, innovative and valuable ideas often come from individuals trained in other disciplines.3 In a composite field as diverse as real estate, it is sometimes difficult to determine which disciplines are "in" and which are "out." Whether considered to be inside or outside the field of real estate, geography often has not been in the real estate mainstream. Business Geography and New Real Estate Market Analysis demonstrates that geography and its associated technology has much to offer the real estate field.

BEST BOOK Real Estate Market Analysis & Business Geography.......2004-06-29
This book defines and establishes business geography as an academic field, and lays the foundations for best practices in business geography and real estate market analysis. This book succeeds in bridging the gap between the academic and the practitioner.
This book covers spatial intelligence for retail, office, industrial, housing, hospitality, and mixed use. The general principles are presented along with case studies.
From viewing the author's web page, I see that Thrall has been invited to present overviews of his book at the best business schools and geography departments, including the Wharton School of Business (University of Pennsylvania), the Haas School of Business (University of California, Berkeley), and the Dept of Geography at UC Santa Barbara as the 2004 Distinguished Golledge Lecturer.
A must read!
???????????????????????.......2004-06-02
There is almost no resemblance between this the principals and tools presented in this book and the more advanced cutting edge spatial analysis currently being taught at some of the more advanced academic institutions and being practiced at some of the larger real estate investment firms.
Save your money!!!!!!!!!!!!
Academia meets Business....Geography meets Real Estate.......2002-09-03
