Wonderful history
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
Just had a chance to read "Picture Windows." Finally, a book about the suburbs that doesn't just reiterate one-dimensional cliches about conformity. Real people and real history, with amazing links to the history of the housing issue in the United States. I was especially interested by material on links between Joe McCarthy and the tract housing industry in the forties. Refreshing and illuminating.
