Allan Moore (Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 2003), 131–57. The text does not explain why he changed the title of this chapter.

5 Krims continues that this general notion of cities ‘may be disproportionately shaped by the fate of certain particular cities, especially New York City and Los Angeles’ (7).

6 Some of these apparent editing oversights do detract from an appreciation of Krims's significant contribution. For example, Music and Urban Geography recounts an anecdote about a Time magazine cover twice in chapter 3, and the list on page 95 mentions the same concept twice, at numbers 5 and 10.
