What connections can be drawn between oral history and the
shopping mall? Gospel music and the Diablo Canyon nuclear power
plant? William Carlos Williams's "Patterson" and the Manhattan
Project's secret cities? The answers lie in this insightful
collection of essays that read and illuminate the American
landscape. Through literature and folklore, music and oral history,
autobiography, architecture, and photography, eleven leading
writers and thinkers explore the dialectic between space and place
in modern American life. The result is an eloquent and provocative
reminder of the environmental context of events--the deceptively
simple fact that events "take "place.""
