This manuscript focuses on the development of hybrid city-country
(penurban) landscapes around large urban areas which mesh stylized
countryside with functional links to the cities. These landscapes
are central to American mindsets as they combine the dreams,
expectations, and experiences of the nation in expressive cultural
landscapes. An interpretive-analytical methodology is used in this
single-authored, multidisciplinary work which draws on insights
from history, American Studies, social sciences, urban studies, and
environmental studies, and cultural studies in order to portray
lifestyle and settlement phenomena overlooked by single
disciplinary fields. Telling the story of how penurban landscapes
emerged, the work blends original research with a re-reading of
existing work to understand developing lifestyle and settlement
patterns. The book aims at readers in history, urban studies,
environmental studies, consumerism and American Studies.
