This John Hopkins University edition is a reprint of the original; second printing, paperback, 1987. Soft cover in very good condition with mild age toning to the papers and sun-toning to the wraps. Internal text block clean & tight; no writings, no markings except for former owner's name at top right of front free end paper. Text block edges show aging and foxing to top and side edges. Size 5 3/4"" wide x 8 3/4"" tall x 5/8"" thick; 277 numbered pages. Concludes with two Appendices, extensive notes to the chapters, a bibliographical essay, and a comprehensive index. * From the back cover, "". . . During America's dramatic metamorphosis from agrarian nation to industrial giant, intellectual lines were drawn - or so some historians claim - between pro- and anti urbanization advocates. Such a dichotomy, argues Thomas Bender, is not only simplistic but also needlessly limiting. He chooses to explore the cultural meanings associated with the urbanization process by explicating a distinctive but long-overlooked ""urban vision"" that sought to reconcile America's rural heritage with its new industrial life style. . . . . . it is a vision not totally without meaning today. . . .""
