This book is an eye-opener about London now”. (Evening Standard). ” The 32 Stops animates statistics, extrapolating sociological data into pithy vignettes of life along the Central Line”. (The Times). ” Authors include the masterly John Lanchester, the children of Kids Company, comic John O` Farrell & social geographer Danny Dorling. Ranging from the polemical to the fantastical, the personal to the societal, they offer something for every taste. All experience the city as a cultural phenomenon & notice its nature & its people. Read individually they`re delightful small reads, pulled together they offer a particular portrait of a global city”. (Evening Standard). ” Exquisitely diverse”. (The Times). ” Eclectic & broad-minded.. .beautifully designed”. (Tom Cox, Observer). ”A fascinating collection with a wide range of styles & themes. The design qualities are excellent, as you might expect from Penguin with a consistent look & feel while allowing distinctive covers for each book. This is a very pleasing set of books”. (A Common Reader blog). ” The contrasts & transitions between books are as stirring as the books themselves...A multidimensional literary jigsaw”. (Londonist). ”A series of short, sharp, city-based vignettes
- some personal, some political & some pictorial.. .each inimitable author finds that our city is complicated but ultimately connected, full of wit, & just the right amount of grit”. (Fabric Magazine). ”A collection of beautiful books”. (Grazia). ” Geographer royal by appointment to the left”. (Simon Jenkins). Danny Dorling is Professor for the Public Understanding of Social Science at Sheffield University. He is the honorary president of the Society of Cartographers.
