About this product

Product Information

This fascinating ?prehistory? of the American Suburb traces its evolution from the mid-1800's to the onset of World War II. Using a rich array of contemporary written and pictorial sources, prize-winning historian John R. Stilgoe guides us through the early suburbs of Manhattan, Boston, Chicago, and other cities, showing us not only how they looked but what life was like for the men and women who lived there. ?In chronicling this great exodus and its impact-on culture, women architecture, and myriad other aspects of American society-Stilgoe displays with, scholarship, and insight, as well as delight in searching out meanings in his sources?The book itself is handsome and well illustrated, blessed with a lively text, saturated with evocative and vivid detail.?-David Slovic, Philadelphia Inquirer ?Stilgoe's research is thorough, his approach original and engaging, and his book a delight to read, filled with illustrations-pictorial and verbal-that help illustrate the phenomenon more clearly and deeply.?-Merle Rubin, Christians Science Monitor ?A provocative look at American culture?Borderland makes serious social history accessible and engaging.?-Caryn James, New York Times ?Borderland offers a fresh perspective on the zone between rural space and urban residential rings, and it challenges our assumptions about what constitutes a good life.?-Kenneth Jackson, Progressive Architecture John R. Stilgoe is the Robert & Lois Orchard Professor in the History of Landscape at Harvard University. He is also the author of Common Landscape of American, 1580 to 1845 and Metropolitan Corridor.

Fantastic seller! My item took longer than normal to arrive but that's due to them sending me the wrong dvd. Not to worry though, I contacted them and they arranged for the correct dvd to be sent out. My item has now arrived and the dvd was in excellent condition (brand new as described) and it was very well packaged. I would also like to say that the value for money is excellent. I highly recommend this seller, thank you so much! The issue with the wrong dvd was quickly rectified .

This vinyl is really reasonably priced and I love that it is one of the more unusual colours. It arrived well packaged, undamaged and looks as described. It arrived late, due to Royal Mail's Festive rush, but was dispatched by the seller really quickly. When I contacted them to ask where it was, they replied really quickly with a helpful solution. Such good customer service, so strongly recommend. Really happy with my purchase.
