George Orwell's descriptions of cities are an important part of his overall analysis of politics and class.
From a point of view of urban imagery, two very important aspects need to be underlined: the symbolism that changes the face of the city, and the quick passage from the streets and buildings of the city to the people, their relationships and their behaviour.
A. Arciero, George Orwell, Milano: Franco Angeli 2005, 416.

 George Tice "Urban Landscapes" 2002 ed. - Large Format Photography Forum
I know there was a previous book by Tice called "Urban Landscapes: A New Jersey Portrait" (1975) but I thought they were two entirely different books (except, of course, that some of the photographs are common to both).
The current "Urban Landscapes" was published in conjunction with an ICP exhibition in 2002.
Tice's urban landscape project was to document New Jersey cities (mostly - the famous oak tree was on a freeway median, I believe) with an 8X10 camera.

George Urban came to South Florida last week to do what he seems to do best: persuade women to undress for him on camera, a metier that has won him the enviable sort of fame that leads to write-ups in Playboy and appearances on the daytime talk-show circuit.
Though he says the "Ugly" appellation was affectionately bestowed by an old girlfriend, Urban's fat-cheeked face, unruly mop of scraggly dark hair, and tough-guy Brooklyn brogue don't exactly inspire comparisons with, say, Antonio Banderas.

 George F. Kennan - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
George Frost Kennan (February 16, 1904 – March 17, 2005) was an American advisor, diplomat, political scientist, and historian, best known as "the father of containment" and as a key figure in the emergence of the Cold War.
From this point on, he would follow in the footsteps of his grandfather's younger cousin, George F. Kennan, for whom he was named, and who was a leading 19th-century expert on Imperial Russia and author of Siberia and the Exile System in 1891.
Containment, to George Kennan in 1967, when he published the first volume of his memoirs, involved something other than the use of military "counterforce." He was never pleased that the policy he influenced was associated with the arms build-up of the Cold War.

African American pop music may have no more eloquent champion than George (Urban Romance, 1994), but in this ambitious attempt to fictionalize two decades worth of hip music history, the author's extensive knowledge of the field crowds his storytelling.
Derek is a well-textured and appealing hero, but George's female characters are generally one-dimensional, sexual objects or untrustworthy schemers.
The creative, soulful side of Derek is often lost in the morass of details that author George (Urban Romance, Putnam, 1994) heaps on the novel, and a "do-right" ending seems contrived.
