Derelict Landscapes: The Wasting of America's Built Environment (Geographic Perspectives on the Human Past)
(The success of World War II and the world economic hegemo...)
The success of World War II and the world economic hegemony that followed bolstered America's confidence to configure itself anew. Growth became a panacea to solve all problems since the American engine for change appeared boundless. Cities were turned inside-out as people, enterprise, and wealth fled to suburbs. Unfortunately, all has not been progress. American society has proven wasteful of its built environments. In "Derelict Landscapes", John A. Jakle and David Wilson present a portrait of various kinds of landscape dereliction in the United States - disinvestment, underutilization, vacancy, abandonment, and decay and degradation - and the cultural values that have underlain both personal and societal predispositions to be wasteful. They argue that a society can be known by the landscapes it creates and nourishes, and seek to answer the disturbing question: does widespread, chronic dereliction in the built environment suggest basic flaws in the American system? In the concluding chapters, Jakle and Wilson examine successful experiments at reversing dereliction and highlight the role of "locality-based communities" as an alternative to waste.

( In the second volume of the acclaimed "Gas, Food, Lodgi...)
In the second volume of the acclaimed "Gas, Food, Lodging" trilogy, authors John Jakle, Keith Sculle, and Jefferson Rogers take an informative, entertaining, and comprehensive look at the history of the motel. From the introduction of roadside tent camps and motor cabins in the 1910s to the wonderfully kitschy motels of the 1950s that line older roads and today's comfortable but anonymous chains that lure drivers off the interstate, Americans and their cars have found places to stay on their travels. Motels were more than just places to sleep, however. They were the places where many Americans saw their first color television, used their first coffee maker, and walked on their first shag carpet. Illustrated with more than 230 photographs, postcards, maps, and drawings, The Motel in America details the development of the motel as a commercial enterprise, its imaginative architectural expressions, and its evolution within the place-product-packaging concept along America's highways. As an integral part of America's landscape and culture, the motel finally receives the in-depth attention it deserves.
