Description
"This Land tells the untold story of development in America - how the landscape is shaped by a furious clash of political, economic, and cultural forces. It is the story of the burgeoning anti-sprawl movement, a 1960s-style revolution of New Urbanism, smart growth, and green building. And it is the story of landowners fighting back on the basis of property rights, with free-market libertarians, home builders, road pavers, financial institutions, and even the lawn-care industry right alongside them."--Jacket.
