This meeting site guide for Lexington, Kentucky and the Bluegrass region around Lexington illustrates why the state of Kentucky and this region are excellent examples of how geography plays out on the land, how regions emerge, and how human events and processes, in the context of the physical environment, lead to differentiation and distinction, and long-term boundary maintenance. This guide also shows how and why the Inner Bluegrass' central location and excellent situation, in both Kentucky and the eastern United States, have recently become key reasons for businesses and services to locate in the region. The introduction (Richard Ulack) focuses on: (1) "Early Settlement of the Inner Bluegrass"; (2) "From the 1790s to Today"; and (3) "Inner Bluegrass Attractions." Chapter 1 titled "Creating the Bluegrass Environment" (John F. Watkins and Gary O'Dell) describes Kentucky's physical regions. Chapter 2, "Creating Places and Regions," includes the following: (1) "The Countryside" (Karl B. Raitz); (2) "The Region's Towns and Cities" (Richard Ulack); (3) "The Population of the Inner Bluegrass" (Richard Ulack); (4) "Bluegrass Culture" (Karl B. Raitz); and (5) "Lexington" (Richard Schein). Chapter 3, "Interactions and Connections," has the following: (1) "Lexington as Center for Transportation, Communications, and Information" (Stanley D. Brunn); (2) "Modern Lexington as Regional Center" (Richard Schein); (3) "Horse Breeding and Racing" (Karl B. Raitz); and (4) "Automobiles and the Japanese Connection: Toyota in Kentucky" (Susan Roberts).

(3) "Studying Land Use through City Directories"; (4) "Black Settlement Patterns in the Bluegrass"; (5) "The Horse Industry in Kentucky"; and (6) "On the Road Again...."

The Inner Bluegrass Region of Kentucky is a shining jewel of geography—synonymous in the minds of many with the state of Kentucky. It is unique in many respects: the character of its land, its native vegetation, and its indigenous animal life. The way of life developed by its human inhabitants over the past two hundred years, especially its focus on the Thoroughbred horse, is also unique. The interaction of these two forces—natural and human—is the focus for this important work. The book includes color plates of representative plant and animal species and typical habitats. The annotated lists of 474 animal and nearly 1,200 plant species describe habitat, frequency, and distribution. Bluegrass Land and Life is a book that will delight all who share an interest in the Bluegrass region's past and present and a concern for its future.

Originally established in 1775 the town of Lexington, Kentucky grew quickly into a national cultural center amongst the rolling green hills of the Bluegrass Region. Nicknamed the "Athens of the West," Lexington and the surrounding area became a leader in higher education, visual arts, architecture, and music, and the center of the horse breeding and racing industries. The national impact of the Bluegrass was further confirmed by prominent Kentucky figures such as Henry Clay and John C. Breckinridge. Bluegrass Renaissance: The History and Culture of Central Kentucky, 1792-1852, chronicles Lexington's development as one of the most important educational and cultural centers in America during the first half of the nineteenth century. Editors Daniel Rowland and James C. Klotter gather leading scholars to examine the successes and failures of Central Kentuckians from statehood to the death of Henry Clay, in an investigation of the area's cultural and economic development and national influence. Bluegrass Renaissance is an interdisciplinary study of the evolution of Lexington's status as antebellum Kentucky's cultural metropolis.

In the earliest days of the United States as settlers made their way west and into what would eventually become Kentucky, they were faced with many challenges in the task of surveying and claiming new and unknown land. Among the highest priorities for new residents was to determine if their chosen homestead could provide the fertile soil and fresh water they needed to sustain life and service their agricultural needs. Kentucky, with its underlying base of predominantly limestone rock—perfectly suited to the natural formation of caves, sinking streams, and springs of cool water—proved the ideal location on which to build their new lives. In Bluegrass Paradise: Royal Spring and the Birth of Georgetown, Kentucky, author Gary A. O'Dell tells the story of the Royal Spring, the largest spring in central Kentucky. Practical and essential to the creation of a successful settlement, the spring and its location became the primary reason pioneers would eventually congregate here and found the city of Georgetown as one of the earliest Kentucky communities. In the ensuing 250 years, the Royal Spring has faithfully served the water needs of the community and the locale remains a cherished cultural and historical asset that provides greenspace within a rapidly growing city.

In both academic scholarship and the popular imagination, the globality of modern society has been represented by global cities as the corporate and financial epicentres for capital accumulation, cosmopolitan cultures and innovative change. This has created an image of the globalised world as empty beyond cities which make it into the global league as paradigmatic 'celebrity' cities. As a counterpoint this book give interpretive weight elsewhere, in 'other' places, cities and regions, drawing on a range of examples from both the developed and developing worlds. This book was previously published as a special issue of the journal Urban Studies.
