Sobre este artículo
New York: Cambridge University Press, 2001. Paperback octavo, very good condition, minor edgewear. 299 pp. Adam Rome provides the first scholarly text to examine the environmental consequences of suburban growth in the USA between 1945 and 1970. After WW2, the spread of tract-house construction changed the nature of millions of acres of land, and Americans began to protest against the environmental costs of suburban development. By the mid-1960s, many critics attempted to institutionalize an urban land ethic. Offers a compelling insight into two of the great stories of modern times - the mass migration to the suburbs and the rise of the environmental movement. The book also offers a valuable historical perspective for participants in contemporary debates about the alternatives to sprawl.
