Book Description:
|
Today, more than half of Americans live in suburbs. A far cry from the "crabgrass frontier" of modest bedroom communities built for urban strivers, today's sprawling, self-contained suburbs define our cultural landscape. Designed as a companion to a major exhibition at The Hudson River Museum, this book chronicles-in word and images-the history, development, and character of suburban America with an illuminating account of one of its signature places: Westchester, New York.
