Chilling and emotional.......2000-07-26
This film manages to be chilling and haunting without being classified as such a film. The subject is one of immortal controversy, of a religion that has been debated about from the beginning of time: witchcraft. Women were mistakenly burnt, being accused of practicing witchcraft, which in reality is a more peaceful and earth-rejoicing religion than most others, though most people wouldn't have you aware of that. Women were stripped, hanged, burnt and mamed in front of all the village people. I myself have read much on the religion and that contributed all the more to my disturbance but pure enjoyment in watching this film. One of the times I watched it I started crying. It's so sad the trials and hysteria that took place. The people who were under the illusion they were doing God's work, when really they were killing innocent people. Sad. The film has a tremendous script, solid directing and excellent, spooky acting. A great thanks to the camera angles in contributing to the overall haunting feeling of this film. A chilling and emotional experience.

Book Description
In his compelling follow-up to The Rise of the Creative Class, Richard Florida outlines how certain cities succeed in attracting members of the "creative class"--the millions of people who work in information-age economic sectors and in industries driven by innovation and talent. Cities that succeed, Florida argues, are those that are able to attract and retain creative class members. They don't do this through the traditional strategies of tax incentives, suburban housing developments, and loose regulation, though; creative class members don't care about those details. Rather, they care about amenities and tolerance, and are drawn to cities with thriving bohemias and large gay populations. It is no coincidence, Florida asserts, that places likes Austin and San Francisco with their highly publicized open-mindedness and bohemia are at the forefront of the new economy, while cities like Detroit, in contrast, can't succeed unless they actively become a magnet for the creative class.
To prove his point, Florida presents a mass of information on the cities he cites, both thriving and failing cities, including gay and bohemian indices. Focusing on the economic geography of place, Florida explains lays out what cities need to do to have a chance at success.

This book is lousy.......2005-03-03
My hunch is this is a cheap sequel. Not a lot of discussion, just a lot of (regression) results reporting. Extremely repetitive. Moreover, given that this often verves into being fairly social science (as opposed to pop), the causal linkages seem pretty poorly established. If you want to read this for professional reasons (social science or urban planning), most of this could be ignored; if you want to read this for personal (i.e., recreational) reasons, it's really boring.
