Postsuburban California: The Transformation of Orange County since World War II
"A timely and important addition to the growing literature on  regional  development, as well as to California history."  --Craig Hendricks,  Journal of  American History"A winning collection of essays about a county many believe to  be  paradigmatic of America's suburban future."   --Alex Raksin, Los Angeles  Times"The authors of Postsuburban California are, I believe, exactly  right in  claiming an exemplary status for Orange County. It is, to use Asa  Briggs's  phrase, as much the 'shock city' of the late twentieth century as  Chicago was  for the early twentieth century."  --Robert Fishman, Contemporary  Sociology
