It will help residents of Wichita gain a deeper understanding of their city, and will give outsiders an in-depth look at Wichita as a place in which to live and work. In addition, as a study of one city's evolution from cow town to regional center, it will be of interest to students of urban development across the nation Book jacket.Miller, Glenn W. is the author of 'Metropolitan Wichita: Past, Present, and Future' with ISBN 9780700601691 and ISBN 0700601694.
