The Geography of Nowhere: The Rise and Decline of America's Man-made Landscape
Kunstler, James, HowardFirst published in 1993, The Geography of Nowhere has become a touchstone work in the past two decades, its incisive commentary giving language to the feeling of millions of Americans that our nation’s suburban environments were ceasing to be credible human habitats. Since that time, the work has inspired city planners, architects, legislators, designers and citizens everywhere. In this special 20th Anniversary edition, dozens of authors and experts in various fields share their perspective on James Howard Kunstler‘s brave and seminal work.
"The Geography of Nowhere came out in 1993, twenty years after my epiphany on the gas lines. I returned to journalism in the late 1980s and a series I did for The New YorkTimes Sunday Magazine on various angles of the suburban predicament led to a book contract on, shall we say, a grand unifying theory of it all. The project was initially titled Scary Places, but the poobahs at Simon and Schuster made me change it because they thought book buyers would mistake it for a horror story. The original title had derived from one of my favorite epigrams in the manuscript: “We built a nation of scary places and became a nation of scary people.” It was the soundest line of political analysis I ever came up with, and is more true today than ever."Kategorije:
