Great American City: Chicago and the Enduring Neighborhood EffectFor over fifty years numerous public intellectuals and social theorists have insisted that community is dead. Some would have us believe that we act solely as individuals choosing our own fates regardless of our surroundings, while other theories place us at the mercy of global forces beyond our control. These two perspectives dominate contemporary views of society, but by rejecting the importance of place they are both deeply flawed. Based on one of

For over fifty years numerous public intellectuals and social theorists have insisted that community is dead. Some would have us believe that we act solely as individuals choosing our own fates regardless of our surroundings, while other theories place us at the mercy of global forces beyond our control. These two perspectives dominate contemporary views of society, but by rejecting the importance of place they are both deeply flawed. Based on one of the most ambitious studies in the history of social science, Great American City argues that communities still matter because life is decisively shaped by where you live. To demonstrate the powerfully enduring impact of place, Robert J. Sampson presents here the fruits of over a decade's research in Chicago combined with his own unique personal observations about life in the city, from Cabrini Green to Trump Tower and Millennium Park to the Robert Taylor Homes. He discovers that neighborhoods influence a remarkably wide variety of social phenomena, including crime, health, civic engagement, home foreclosures, teen births, altruism, leadership networks, and immigration. Even national crises cannot halt the impact of place, Sampson finds, as he analyzes the consequences of the Great Recession and its aftermath, bringing his magisterial study up to the fall of 2010. Following in the influential tradition of the Chicago School of urban studies but updated for the twenty-first century, Great American City is at once a landmark research project, a commanding argument for a new theory of social life, and the story of an iconic city.

Great product, only wish there were more colors
Style: Golden Hour
I love the texture, smell, bottle and lightweight coverage of this product, I love that it’s a natural sunscreen. I only wish that they had an even lighter color. Even this color is too dark for my skin (I’m light skinned but not THAT white) and I have to blend it out with regular sunscreen.

Disappointed in new formulation
Style: Golden Hour
I have been a loyal customer of Coola’s tinted sunscreen for over five years, purchasing it more than ten times on Amazon. It used to be my absolute favorite product—lightweight, luminous, with a beautiful shimmer and a lovely rose-like scent. Unfortunately, the recent reformulation is extremely disappointing. The new version has a harsh, overwhelming chemical odor—almost petroleum-like—that is off-putting and unpleasant to wear. It no longer applies the same way, and the coverage and radiance I loved are gone. Worse, I have sensitive skin, and this new formula causes tingling and even a slight burning sensation on my face. I originally thought I had received a bad batch and even repurchased in another shade, hoping it was just a one-off issue. Sadly, both bottles were the same. This is not the product I once loved, and I’m honestly heartbroken by the change. Unless the original formula is brought back, I can no longer recommend or repurchase.

I usually don't stick to the same product for this long
Style: Bronze Goddess
I've been using this BB Cream with SPF 30, Tinted Moisturizer Sunscreen & Foundation for years, and that’s saying a lot coming from me, as I usually don't stick to the same product for this long. This one, however, is an exception. It offers everything I need in one: excellent sun protection, a natural tint that evens out my skin tone, and lightweight moisturizing coverage. It blends effortlessly, leaving my skin looking flawless without feeling heavy or greasy. I frequently receive compliments on my skin, and I attribute that to this amazing BB cream. Highly recommended for anyone seeking an all-in-one skincare solution!

Great glow with even color and sunscreen.
Style: Golden Hour
This is the one thing I use every day. Alone or as a base for make up. I love the sheer coverage that color corrects and provides sunscreen. Easy to throw on with smooth easy coverage. It takes other types of makeup really well… powders and contouring sticks perfectly. It does not ball up when used with other products. It does not have a strong scent and gives you a great glow. I always get compliments on my skin using it. I have tried so many other natural products like this and this is my favorite.
