Instant City: Life and Death in Karachi (Penguin, $27.95), by radio journalist Steve Inskeep, describes the growth of the "instant city," when new megacities can emerge practically overnight, creating a host of unique pressures surrounding land use, energy, housing and the environment. In his first book, the co-host of Morning Edition explores how this epic migration has transformed one of the world's most intriguing instant cities: Karachi, Pakistan.
