Dispatches from the Muckdog Gazette: A Mostly Affectionate Account of a Small Town's Fight to Survive
ISBN: 9780312423162 / Angielski / Miękka / 224 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Bill Kauffman, a self-proclaimed "placeist" who believes that things urban are homogenizing our national scene, returned to his roots after a bumpy ride on the D.C. fast track. Rarely has he ventured forth since. Here he illuminates the place he loves, traveling from Batavia's scenic vistas to the very seams of its grimy semi-industrial pockets, from its architecturally insignificant new mall to the pastoral grounds of its internationally known School for the Blind. Not one to shy from controversy, Kauffman also investigates his town's efforts to devastate its landmarks through urban...

Following a critical review of research and theories on the subject, he proposes a new theoretical perspective that focuses on community interaction as a necessary...

ISBN: 9780415034081 / Angielski / Twarda / 246 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The farms, villages, estates and people that characterized the English countryside were once the mainspring of both the government and the economy. They supported and responded to the needs of the nation. Yet rural England has always been threatened: from epidemics and the famine to the ravages of the Industrial Revolution. From the end of the 18th century, weakened by enclosure and depopulation, the countryside battled with an increasing industrialization and inevitably succumbed. The village had become a relic, the symbol of a past age visited by those in search of Olde Englande. A...
