Books by David Jacoby

This book examines the author's experiences with reckless over-development in nine cities across the globe in 2010, and a trip in which governments, businesses, and individuals live by new rules in a socially and environmentally conscious world of renewable resources and aesthetic landscapes.

This volume focuses on western economic expansion within the Eastern Mediterranean from the 11th-15th century. It examines the presence of the powers and their subjects in these regions, and industrial competition between Venice and the cities of the Italian mainland.
