Economic Geography: Gender And Suburban Wages Gender and suburban wages from Economic geography, a publication in the field of The first of these studies to investigate central city/suburban http://www.findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_qa3660/is_199907/ai_n8873618
Extractions: One explanation given for the decentralization of economic activity from central city to suburban locations is the search by firms for suitable labor. The ability of suburban locations to offer firms access to attractive labor, in the form of lower labor costs, is postulated by urban economists in the monocentric model of urban formation, as formulated by Muth (1969) and Mills (1972). In this model, labor and land costs fall off as one moves away from the center of the metropolitan area. Feminist and industrial geographers have suggested, however, that to a large extent the suitable labor for which firms are looking consists of relatively "immobile" women whose domestic responsibilities limit their job search area, eventual commute, and career expectations (Carlson 1997; Hanson and Pratt 1988, 1991; Nelson 1986; see also Preston and McLafferty 1993 for a discussion of the spatial variability of women's commuting behavior).

Black Bears Adapting To City Living, Study Says in alabama, said the findings are pretty much what he would expect. Offer for 1 year subscription to National Geographic Magazine for $19. http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2003/11/1125_031126_dumpsterbears.html
Extractions: November 26, 2003 Black bears ( Ursus americanus ) have efficiently adapted to the urban couch potato lifestyle, according to a recent study that compared urban and wild land bears in the Lake Tahoe region of Nevada. "A lot of people suggested [bears] might alter their behavior in the presence of humans. We went out and specifically tested some of these hypotheses with rigorous science," said Jon Beckmann, a biologist with the society's Eastern Idaho Field Office in Rigby. Beckmann and colleague Joel Berger report their findings in the current issue of the Journal of Zoology. The Wildlife Conservation Society biologists were at the University of Nevada, Reno, when they conducted the research for the study. In addition to seeking grub in dumpsters behind fast-food joints and suburban neighborhoods instead of foraging for wild berries and deer in the mountains, urban bears have also become night owls, whereas wild land bears are active during the day.
