	Amazon.ca: Dead Cities : A Natural History: Books: Mike Davis (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Dead Cities is a postmortem excavation of our postmodern urbanscape, a conjugation of all the verbs at work in the human condition.
		Dead Cities examines the fragility of our urban infrastructures, threatened by man-made or natural factors, providing us with a fractured journey through parts of America in which the apocalypse has already taken place and where the destruction of the twin towers seems an almost inevitable climax.
		The worst incorporated city must be Vernon, which has 48,000 workers, mostly Latinos in sweatshops, and an actual resident electorate of 90 people, who do not use their tax revenues to help their workers but the property developers who run the city almost as a private fief.

	The Future Sound of London : Dead Cities - Listen, Review and Buy at ARTISTdirect
		Dead Cities turned out to be the Future Sound of London's bow out from the spotlight -- at least, nothing further was released by them for the rest of the decade and well into the next one.
		The theme of the album, thoroughly explored in the art (as always, created by the group itself), seems to be one of futuristic urban decay, almost as if reacting against the perceived otherwordliness of Lifeforms, calmer moments like the acoustic guitar shimmer of "Her Face Forms in Summertime" aside.
		As a further touch, the overall Blade Runner feeling of Dead Cities is heightened even more via the sampling of Mary Hopkin's haunting, wordless vocals from that film's soundtrack.

	Amazon.co.uk: Dead Cities: Music: Future Sound Of London
		DEAD CITIES is more than just a great trance-inducer, it's an out-of-this-world experience, bringing you to a place where there's a lot to see.
		Dead Cities is definately an album as opposed to a collection of tracks, since (not meaning to sound pretentious!) the continuous and complementary moods it creates as an LP are as important as the music in any given track.
		The second tune 'Dead Cities' is even worse with a drum beat that perhaps sounded powerful ten years ago but sounds like a desperate attempt to be powerful now, and therefore sounds cheesy.

	H-Net Review: Lisa Magloff on Dead Cities and Other Tales
		But the failure of the city to burn to the ground in 1992 and the rebuilding of large chunks of LA seems to have upset Davis's Marxist hope for a fiery proletarian revolution.
		He remains strangely unwilling to acknowledge that cities can rise from the ashes, can remake themselves in a new image, and that the process of urban decay is reversible.
		Suburban edge cities are an uncontained sprawl that is devouring the landscape.

		From the Salah Salem Highway, the City of the Dead appears to be organized and proper, a match for the beige, sandy landscape of the distant Citadel.
		The City of the Dead seems to its inhabitants ideal because it is already built, affordable, and partially equipped.

		It is one of the largest of the Dead Cities, and, unlike most of the others, it lies in a lush valley.

		Prices are even lower outside the city; in Hama, a casual lunch for two of falafel and freshly squeezed orange juice is less than $1.

	M83: Dead Cities, Red Seas & Lost Ghosts (2004): Reviews
		In Dead Cities, Red Seas & Lost Ghosts, M83 have created an ethereal electronic masterpiece, and one which, thankfully, doesn't sound like a relic from the Warp Records back catalogue.
		The whole much greater than its parts, Dead Cities is creation imbued and then muted again.
		Dead Cities reinforces the French pair's penchant for distorted vocals and cheesy synthesizers, but the tracks here ultimately add up to far less than the sum of their assorted parts.

	Christian Antiquities in Syria - THE DEAD CITIES
		These cities are situated in a triangular area of 8,500 square kilometres, enclosed by the cities of Aleppo, Apamea and Antioch.
		Abandoned at the beginning of the 7th century, the Dead Cities nowadays form a vast collection of venerable ruins, preserving the traces of a little known Christian civilization, which, in its time, spread its beneficent influence throughout the Mediterranean Basin.
		Apart from the ruins of Pompey a city buried by volcanic ash from Mt. Vesuvius following its eruption in 79 A.D. the Dead Cities are probably the best-preserved remains of ancient times.

		He chose Hamburg because in 1943, as was not the case in late 1944 and 1945 when Dresden and other cities were bombed, the outcome of the war was far from certain.
		One is that a single person bears much of the responsibility for the scale of the deliberate bombing of German civilians: Sir Arthur "Bomber" Harris.
		The writer W. Sebald made the point that after the war it was the British, not the Germans, who raised the moral questions about the attacks on the civilian populations of German cities.

	BookPage Nonfiction Review: Among the Dead Cities
		Although he cites examples from armed conflicts throughout history, Grayling draws his chief conclusions from the bombings of cities in Europe and Japan during World War II.
		Grayling first makes it clear that he is not an apologist for Germany or Japan and that they were clearly aggressors who merited being defeated.
		He is specifically concerned with "area bombing," which he defines as "the strategy of treating whole cities and the civilian populations as targets for attack by high explosive and incendiary bombs, and in the end by atom bombs."

	Dead Cities: And Other Tales :: AK Press
		In his most brilliantly syncretic writing yet, radical urban theorist Mike Davis explores the combat zone that is contemporary urban America, where a ceaseless battle is being waged both within cities and against nature.
		Using environmental science as his frame of understanding, Davis examines themes of urban life today—white flight, deindustrialization, housing and job segregation and discrimination, and federal policy—and looks at areas he calls "national sacrifice zones"—military landscapes that simulated warfare and arms production have rendered uninhabitable.
