(Rural America is at a crossroads in its economic developm...)
Rural America is at a crossroads in its economic development. Like regions of other First World nations, the traditional economic base of rural communities in the United States is rapidly deteriorating. Natural resources, including agriculture, show little prospect for generating future job growth, and manufacturing has become a new source of instability.

(Through an analysis of national data and detailed case st...)
Through an analysis of national data and detailed case studies, From Combines to Computers examines how the transition to a service economy is playing out for rural America. It answers two important questions. Will services fill the gap left by lost farming, manufacturing, and mining jobs? And will services stabilize, even revitalize, rural areas? Glasmeier and Howland document the intraregional spatial patterns and trends of services in the national economy, compare services in urban and rural communities and identify the potential and limitations of rural development strategies based on services.

(Since the large-scale manufacture of personal timepieces ...)
Since the large-scale manufacture of personal timepieces began, industry leadership has shifted among widely disparate locations, production systems, and cultures. This book recounts the story of the quest for supremacy in the manufacture of watches from the cottage industries of Britain, to the preeminence of Switzerland and, later, the United States; to the high-tech plants of Japan and the sweatshops of Hong Kong.

(Today, as advanced telecommunications technology overtake...)
Today, as advanced telecommunications technology overtakes cities and suburbs, the infrastructure for providing Internet and other cutting-edge services barely inches its way into rural areas. If the trend continues, these communities will be unable to compete economically or provide modern health and education services.

Persistent poverty has long been one of America's most pressing and intractable problems. According to some estimates, by 2003, almost twenty-five percent of America's countries had per-capita incomes below one half the national average, high unemployment, low labor force participation rates, and a high dependency on government transfer payments all measures of economic distress. An Atlas of Poverty in America shows how and where America's regional development patterns have become more uneven, and graphically illustrates the increasing number of communities falling behind the national economic average.

Professor Amy Glasmeier is a truly caring and reliable person, which has been demonstrated through both her life’s work and her impact on those she has mentored. Her students describe her as a reliable touchstone in their lives, frequently checking in on their personal and emotional well being, taking them out to lunch or coffee to catch up, and even having students over at her house for dinner. As a mentor, Amy encourages her students to develop their own ideas and forge their own paths, even if those paths differ from hers. She supports her students in these endeavors by giving, as one of her advisees put it, "deep, constructive feedback."
Amy Glasmeier is married to Tom Bell. They have two children, Drew and Graham.
