The study of cultural landscapes-a far more recent development-has also undergone great changes, ever broadening, deepening, and refining our understanding of the intricate webs of social and ecological spaces that help to define human groups and their activities. Everyday America surveys the widening conceptions and applications of cultural landscape writing in the United States and, in doing so, offers a clear and compelling view of the state of cultural landscape studies today. These essays-by distinguished journalists, historians, cultural geographers, architects, landscape architects, and planners-constitute a critical evaluation of the field's theoretical assumptions, and of the work of John Brinckerhoff Jackson, the pivotal figure in the emergence of cultural landscape studies. At the same time, they present exemplary studies of twentieth-century landscapes, from the turn-of-the-century American downtown to the corporate campus and the mini-mall. Assessing the field's accomplishments and shortcomings, offering insights into teaching the subject, and charting new directions for its future development, Everyday America is an eloquent statement of the meaning, value, and potential of the close study of human environments as they embody, reflect, and reveal American culture. 606 $aLandscape assessment$zUnited States 606 $aCities and towns$zUnited States 606 $aHuman geography$zUnited States 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aLandscape assessment 615 0$aCities and towns 615 0$aHuman geography 676 $a720/.973 701 $aWilson$b Chris$f1951 Dec. 23-$01053038 701 $aGroth$b Paul Erling$01053039 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910450163003321 996 $aEveryday America$92484682 997 $aUNINA
