Social and cultural dimensions of Americanness. 330 $aAmerican Space/American Place offers geographical perspectives on the condition of the United States at the outset of the twenty-first century. It compares the American ideal of liberty, equality, individual opportunity and social improvement with the contemporary condition of the regions, states and localities--the ideal American space with its reality as a place. It uses the public standard provided by the official ideology of the United States to see how well things are really going. Agnew and Smith consider the contrast between ideal and reality at local, state and national levels in education, health, and welfare, in community, race, gender, and calss relations, in economic and industrial development, and in the use and exploitation of America's landscape. American Space/American Place provides a series of compelling insights into the current condition of American Society, its natural environment and its place within the world. 606 $aGeography$zUnited States 606 $aGeography$xSocial aspects$zUnited States 606 $aGeography$xPolitical aspects$zUnited States 606 $aGeography$xPhilosophy 615 0$aGeography 615 0$aGeography$xSocial aspects 615 0$aGeography$xPolitical aspects 615 0$aGeography$xPhilosophy. 676 $a917.3 701 $aAgnew$b John A$0107639 701 $aSmith$b Jonathan M$059178 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910968640303321 996 $aAmerican space$94470102 997 $aUNINA
